the Jawa 42 Bobber 2025 is turning heads. This bad boy from Jawa Yezdi just hit the scene, blending that classic bobber look with enough grunt to make your weekend rides epic. It’s not your grandpa’s cruiser—it’s got punchy power, sharp handling, and features that keep things safe and fun. And yeah, we’ll get to the price tag at the end, so you can see if it fits your wallet. Let’s break it down.
Design & Exterior
The 42 Bobber nails that retro bobber style without feeling dated. Picture a low-slung stance with a chopped rear fender and a solo seat that’s comfy for one (or two if you’re feeling generous). The teardrop fuel tank holds 12.5 liters, perfect for those long hauls, and it’s got this minimalist vibe that says “I’m here to cruise, not show off.” At 2,120 mm long and just 833 mm wide, it’s easy to weave through city traffic.
Engine & Performance
Under the hood, it’s all about that 334 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder mill. This BS6 Phase 2 beast pumps out 29.5 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 32.7 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm—plenty to zip past slowpokes on the highway. Mated to a slick 6-speed gearbox, shifts feel buttery, whether you’re dodging autos in Mumbai or blasting down NH-48.
Ride & Handling
Riding the 42 Bobber feels planted and playful. The low seat height (around 765 mm) lets shorter riders flat-foot easy, and the upright posture means no backache on 100-km spins. Suspension’s a telescopic fork up front (35 mm) and a preload-adjustable mono-shock rear—it’s tuned for comfort over bumps, though some say it’s a tad stiff on rough patches.
Safety Features
Jawa didn’t skimp here—dual-channel ABS keeps you from locking up on wet roads, and those disc brakes bite hard. LED headlights and taillight cut through fog like a knife, with a digital console showing speed, gear, and fuel in crisp readout. No fancy Bluetooth yet, but basics like low-oil alerts are covered. It’s got a side-stand engine cut-off too, so no rolling away unattended. Solid for a bobber—keeps the fun safe without overcomplicating things.
