Slow, Stylish, and Special

Riding the Jawa 42 Bobber feels calm and enjoyable. Its 334cc engine makes around 30 bhp and delivers strong low-end torque, which suits relaxed city cruising. The low seat height adds comfort, and the bike feels stable on open roads. It is not rushed riding, but slow riding done beautifully.

Stylish Bobber Built For Solo Cruising

I’ve just started cruising on my 42 Bobber, and the 334cc liquid cooled engine delivers a decent 25 kmpl mileage so far. The floating single seat and 7-step adjustable mono-shock make every solo weekend ride feel premium and very personalized. It weighs 185 kg, but the 740 mm saddle height keeps the balance perfectly manageable.

Stylish Bobber for Solo Rides

The stunning 740 mm floating seat and twin slash-cut exhausts make this bike a real head-turner on the street. I get a 25-26 kmpl mileage and the 7-step adjustable monoshock suspension allows for a very firm riding setup. It weighs 185 kg and the digital console provides all the necessary information while maintaining a very clean look.
