Jawa to make a comeback

MAHINDRA HAS created a brand new company called Classic Legends and this will be the company which will relaunch Jawa in India. Right now we have full details on the new engine which looks exactly like the one we have seen in the past. The single cylinder head has fins despite this motor being liquid cooled and the Jawa nametag is embossed on the valve cover. The rest of the motor too is clean and there is little clutter all around. The twin pea shooter pipes also hark back to the past. Next up are the specs. The new Jawa will come with a 293cc, liquid cooled, single cylinder, DOHC four-stroke engine. While this is the same motor which powers the Mahindra Mojo, engineers have given it a complete retune. The motor produces 27bhp and 28Nm of torque tuned to offer a generous mid-range and a flat torque curve. The engine has been built on a BS6 ready platform and we are told that the fuel injection system has been perfectly tuned for enjoyable rides. But what is even better news is that the company says that it will sound much like the old Jawa as a maverick team of sound engineers in Italy have worked extensively to produce a similar soundtrack to the original two-stroke motor.
