Pros Cons of JAWA Perak

Pros

  • Eye-catching bobber styling with a floating seat, forward-set footpegs, bar-end mirrors and twin slash-cut tailpipes.
  • An assist and slipper clutch smoothens power delivery during gearshifts and prevents rear wheel hop on hard downshifts.
  • It has disc brakes at both ends backed by dual-channel ABS.
  • Its low 750 mm seat height allows shorter riders place both feet on the ground.
  • The 13.2-litre fuel tank gives you reasonable range between refuelling stops.

Cons

  • Its single-seat layout considerably limits practicality.
  • The 187 kg weight makes itself felt in stop-and-go or parking manoeuvres.
  • Spoked wheels with tube tyres (100/90-18 front, 140/70-17 rear) make puncture repair a headache.
  • The semi-digital instrument display is basic and skips modern connectivity options.

Verdict

The Jawa Perak is a great effort to offer the bobber character to the Indian masses. Plus, its punchy 334 cc liquid-cooled engine, distinct dual exhaust notes, and low 750 mm floating seat make it a head-turner on our roads.

However, it lacks a rear seat, tubeless tyres, and a modern screen - stuff that make it more practical. Despite that, if you are willing to trade everyday utility for style, the Perak is undoubtedly a unique offering in our market.
