Powering the 2024 Jawa Perak is a 334cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled motor, which produces 29.47bhp at 7,500rpm and 30Nm of peak torque at 5,500rpm. The Perak is driven by a 6-speed manual gearbox, accompanied by an assist and slipper clutch for light clutch action.

Jawa's Comment

Ashish Singh Joshi, CEO of Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles, said, 'The Jawa Perak quickly became one of our top-selling models, a testament to India’s growing aspirational market. The 42 Bobber only cemented our segment domination further. The bobber mindset is an acquired one; you either have it or don't. You must ride it to know if you have it. That said, the Jawa Perak’s new design does tempt you over to the dark side!'
