Jawa introduces Khakhi & Midnight Grey colour motorcycles

To further contribute to the ‘Swarnim Vijay Varsh’celebrations along the year, Jawa Motorcycles will be a part of various celebratory rides with the Indian Army that mark important landmark occasions like Kargil Vijay Diwas, Battle of Turtuk and Battle of Longewala, with the Jawa Khakhi and Midnight Grey leading the charge.

What makes these motorcycles special is the commemorative emblem that proudly features the prestigious Indian Army insignia flanked by a ‘laurel wreath’ symbolizing the 1971 victory. Jawa Motorcycles is honoured to be the first manufacturer to be allowed to do so on a production motorcycle.

The Jawa Khakhi signifies the spirit of selfless service to the nation by the men in uniform. The Jawa Midnight Grey, on the other hand, is inspired by the Battle of Longewala, fought in the western frontier along Rajasthan border. This battle played an important role in India’s victory in the ’71 war where brave soldiers from Indian Army and BSF thwarted the enemy attack and defended our motherland, fighting bravely through the night. Jawa Midnight Grey is an ode to the bravery of these soldiers and the victory that we achieved on this night.  

The wheel and tyre sizes remain unchanged from before but these motorcycles ride on blacked out spoke rims to go with the overall black theme.

All the product enhancements introduced across the Jawa Motorcycles range, beginning with the introduction of forty two sports stripe earlier this year, also find way into these motorcycles. These include:

• Enhanced seat; that further elevates the rider comfort with its redesigned seat pan and cushioning

• Retuned suspension & frame set-up; that results in better ground clearance while adding to the already superlative ride and handling characteristics of the Jawa

• Retuned exhaust note coming out of the signature twin exhausts; deeper beat and tuned acoustics for a more engaging riding experience

• Trip meter for rider convenience

The new colours will only be available in the Dual ABS version, which means the braking retains its best in class capabilities and the ABS module developed by Continental adds to the superior confidence that the motorcycle’s handling prowess inspires.

The motorcycles will be powered by a 293cc liquid cooled and fuel injected engine that gets further enhancements to deliver 27.33 PS of power and 27.02 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a six-speed transmission.

It’s the first single cylinder engine to utilize cross port technology which increases the volumetric efficiency of the engine, enables a better flow of charge and exhaust gases and results in better power and torque output.  The engine now features a repositioned lambda sensor that monitors internal and external variables even more efficiently to give a consistent performance and cleaner emissions regardless of any road condition.

The throttle response has been made crisper to respond to even the slightest inputs with precision through improved fuelling. The overall result is a more linear performance across the rev range, with a noticeable punch in the mid-range resulting in stronger acceleration.
