Pros Cons of JAWA Forty Two

Pros

  • Refined performance
  • Comfortable riding position
  • Sorted ride and handling

Cons

  • Low ground clearance
  • Low cornering clearance
  • Welding quality not up to the mark

Verdict

The Jawa Forty-Two 2.1 certainly makes for a more appealing package, particularly with the new updates, which are not just skin deep. The tubeless tyres will offer peace of mind to riders, the seat will offer a more comfortable perch, the exhaust note has become throatier, and the ride quality is supple, and firm.Overall, the new Jawa 42 is a nicely put together bike, except for cornering clearance, and a few glaring welds on the frame and on the back of the forks.

Pros

  • Tubeless tyres
  • Refined engine
  • 3 variants available with customisation options

Cons

  • Lacks features
  • Cruising speed limited to 110 kmph
  • Heavy clutch lever feel

Verdict

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 will not just be a replacement for the Thunderbird 350 in India, but has been developed as a global product. According to Royal Enfield, it will be sold in India and will also cover the markets of Thailand, Europe and North America. It has been developed with learnings and knowledge from the flagship 650 Twins, which is apparent in the refinement levels and engineering. With smoother and livelier performance, the new RE Meteor 350 is perhaps the best 350 cc engine.
