Looks like Classic Legends, the company that is bringing back the iconic Jawa Motorcycles brand to India is up to a good start. The company is taking feedback from prospectus customers seriously and probably for the first in the Indian automotive industry, the suggestions have been implemented so swiftly.
When launched the motorcycles were offered with only a rear disc brake option. Many suggested that inclusion of a rear disc brake would have made it a better overall package. So after hearing the voice of the customers, Jawa Motorcycles will offer dual-channel ABS variants for both the Jawa and Jawa Forty Two. These would be available on motorcycles being delivered after June 2019 and the rear disc brake setup and dual-channel ABS variants will come at an additional price of INR 8,942.
2018 Jawa Motorcycles Price:
Jawa: INR 1,64,000/-
Jawa ABS: INR 1,55,000/-
Jawa Forty Two: INR 1,72,942/-
Jawa Forty Two ABS: INR 1,63,942/-
Prices are ex-showroom Delhi.
The company is also introducing an industry first motorcycle exchange program across all its 100+ dealerships. It will also be offering the largest number of financial tie-ups with best in class finance schemes for its customers.
The base variants of the Jawa & the Jawa Forty Two motorcycles are offered with drum and disc combination setup which according to the company is the optimal braking system given the weight, engine specs, rideability to offer safe and reliable braking performance that has been corroborated by experts.
The motorcycles are claimed to have passed stringent brake testing conditions on asphalt (high Mu) and basalt (low Mu) surfaces. High Mu tests conducted for 100-0 km/h and low Mu for 70-0 km/h have shown steady and straight line braking capability that are best in class. However, given the popularity and premium-ness associated with dual channel ABS, the company has decided to also offer these variants.
Customers who have already made online bookings will be able to opt for Dual Channel ABS on the website soon, without affecting their booking sequence. However, due to the late availability of Dual ABS variants, their deliveries will begin after June 2019. The priority of delivery will be as per their queue within the Dual Channel ABS subset of the overall bookings.
