A Bold New Look for 2025
Jawa Motorcycles launched the 2025 Jawa 42 Bobber in August 2025, bringing a fresh mix of retro style and modern performance to Indian roads. Priced between Rs. 2.09 lakh and Rs. 2.35 lakh (ex-showroom), this single-seater bobber is designed for riders who love standing out. With its low-slung seat, chrome accents, and bold colors, the Jawa 42 Bobber is perfect for solo riders wanting a unique ride. It competes with bikes like Royal Enfield Meteor 350 but offers a distinct bobber vibe.
Powerful 334cc Engine
The Jawa 42 Bobber is powered by a 334cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that delivers 30.64 PS power and 32.74 Nm torque. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox, it offers smooth rides in cities and on highways. The engine’s throaty exhaust note adds to the bike’s charm, making every ride feel special. While it gives 30-35 kmpl mileage, it’s not the most fuel-efficient, but the power and style make up for it, especially for short commutes and weekend trips.

Premium Features for Modern Riders
The 2025 Jawa 42 Bobber comes with features that blend old-school charm with new-age tech. It has a fully digital instrument cluster showing gear position, speed, and fuel levels, along with LED lights for better visibility. The bike also includes a USB charging port and adjustable seat for rider comfort. Safety is covered with dual-channel ABS and disc brakes (280mm front, 240mm rear). However, it misses a pillion seat, staying true to its solo-riding focus.

Standout Design and Colors
The Jawa 42 Bobber’s design is its biggest draw. It features a low-slung floating seat, wide handlebars, and a muscular fuel tank with chrome detailing. The chopped fenders and round headlamp give it a classic bobber look, while fat rear tyres add a bold stance. Available in five colors – Mystic Copper, Jasper Red, Moonstone White, Chrome Black, and Chrome Red – riders can pick a style that matches their personality. The lack of alloy wheels in some variants is a small drawback.
Comfort and Riding Experience
Built for solo riders, the Jawa 42 Bobber offers a relaxed riding position with forward-set footpegs and a low 740mm seat height, making it easy to handle for most riders. The mono-shock rear suspension and telescopic front forks ensure a smooth ride on city roads, though rough terrains need caution due to the low ground clearance. The bike’s 185 kg weight and 1485mm wheelbase provide stability, but it’s best for short rides of 20-30 km rather than very long journeys.
Why Choose the Jawa 42 Bobber?
The Jawa 42 Bobber is a great pick for riders who want style, power, and a unique identity. Its retro-modern design, strong engine, and premium features make it a head-turner. While it lacks a pillion seat and could use a turbo option for extra power, its affordable price and Jawa’s reliable service network make it a strong contender. Bookings are open at Jawa dealerships or online, with test rides available. For those dreaming of a solo cruiser, the 2025 Jawa 42 Bobber is a fantastic choice.
