Jawa BS6 has finally started reaching dealerships after its official launch back in March 2020. The company has also revealed the specifications of the BS6-compliant bike. There is a marginal drop in performance and a small gain in curb weight, with the BS6 bike being 2kg heavier than its BS4 version.
Jawa Bikes Specifications
Now in its BS6 guise, the 293cc liquid-cooled, the single-cylinder mill produces 26.51PS and 27.05Nm of torque. These new figures are 0.86PS and 0.95Nm lower than the BS4 version. The motor runs on a 6-speed transmission. It has gained a considerable amount of weight, now tipping the scales at 172kg. In terms of hardware, the Jawa uses a double downtube frame with a conventional telescopic fork and dual shocks at the rear which gets 5-step preload adjustability. Anchoring the bike is a single 280mm disc up front with ABS while the rear runs a conventional 153mm drum brake to keep costs in check. Its 18-inch front and 17-inch rear tyres come wrapped in 90/90-section and 120/80-section rear tyres. A low seat height of 765mm should be a boon for short riders.
Jawa Bikes Features
The bike comes with liquid-cooling and an old-school instrument console reading out the fuel level and speed.
Jawa Bikes Variants
The Jawa is available in two variants: single-channel ABS and dual-channel ABS. Thankfully, the iconic Jawa sticks to its retro roots. The design is reminiscent of the original bike, which is quite appealing to our eyes. It features a dome-shaped headlamp, which extends and forms a cover around the front fork. Other notable design features include vintage-style fenders, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank garnished in chrome, and a rather small single-seat setup.

- Jawa Perak

Jawa manages to sell 2,000 Peaks this festive season. Deliveries for the bike commenced back on July 20, 2020. It was earlier planned to start from April 2, 2020, but witnessed delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Customers can book the factory custom bobber for a token amount of Rs 10,000. You can even opt for special finance schemes for the Perak which make the bike even more tempting.
Jawa Perak Specifications
It gets a BS6-compliant 334cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor that makes 30.64PS and 32.74Nm of torque mated to a six-speed gearbox. Jawa has revised the gear ratios for a better ride experience. Underpinnings include a new double-cradle frame suspended with telescopic front forks and rear monoshock with 7-step preload adjustability. Braking is via front and rear disc brakes with standard ABS.
Jawa Perak Features
The instrument console features a minimalistic design with just the speedometer, odometer and fuel gauge. The bike gets a dual-channel ABS for optimal safety. Since the wheels are spoked, it gets tubed tyres on both ends. The bike is strictly a single-seater as the design of the swingarm does not accommodate a pillion seat.
Jawa Perak Variants
The Perak features a blacked-out theme and comes with a tan-coloured single-seat, blacked-out engine, exhaust and spoke wheels. The swingarm construction is similar to the Triumph Bonneville Bobber’s ‘swing cage’ unit. This setup allows for the rear monoshock to be neatly hidden below the rider’s seat. The tail lamp is located just below the seat whereas the indicators are mounted on the rear fender. In typical bobber fashion, even the front fender is chopped and the bodywork is minimalistic.
