2024 Jawa Perak Unveiled in India: Here's What Has Changed

Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles has introduced several updates for the Perak and 42 Bobber in India. The 2024 Perak has been revamped with an emphasis on both appearance and performance, and it now carries a price tag of Rs 2.13 lakh (ex-showroom). Its striking new dual-tone matte black and matte grey colour scheme is among the most notable updates. To set it apart from its predecessors, the fuel tank has a new insignia with the word 'Perak.' In a bid to enhance long-distance riding comfort, Jawa has introduced a quilted tan seat, perfectly complementing the bike's classic design. Additionally, the footpegs have been shifted forward by 155mm, augmenting rider ergonomics and overall comfort.

2024 Jawa Perak: Mechanical Updates

In terms of mechanical upgrades, the 2024 Jawa Perak boasts significant improvements aimed at enhancing performance and ride quality. One notable enhancement is micro geometry adjustments to the gear tooth, resulting in superior meshing quality and reduced noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels. Moreover, the revised gearbox covers are designed to deliver a more refined sound output from the gearbox.

The 2024 Jawa Perak also features a redesigned crankshaft and an Assist & Slipper (A&S) clutch, ensuring seamless shifting and smooth transitions. Additionally, riders can expect increased versatility, thanks to improved throttle mapping and gear ratios, catering to various riding scenarios, from spirited highway cruising to urban commuting.

Further updates include a revamped piston skirt profile, the incorporation of a cast iron liner in the cylinder block, sportier suspension for enhanced handling, a robust chassis, class-leading braking capabilities, and a larger throttle body diameter of 38mm. Additionally, the inclusion of a patented breather canopy serves to reduce oil consumption and emissions, contributing to a more environmentally friendly riding experience.

2024 Jawa Perak: Engine Specs

The 334cc liquid-cooled engine of the 2024 Jawa Perak churns out 29.50bhp of maximum power at 7,500rpm and 30Nm of peak torque at 5,500rpm.  The motor is mated to a six-speed gearbox via a slip-and-assist clutch. However, it is tuned differently for each model. 

Thanks to the modern features of the bike, such as the big ByBre disc brakes with dual-channel ABS by Continental, the bike offers the finest acceleration and braking experience in its class. Besides this, the Perak has a new seven-step preload adjustable mono-shock rear suspension, which allows the user to customise the ride quality of the bike to their liking. Jawa currently sells the 350, 42 Bobber, 42, and Perak in India.
