Jawa Perak: Nourished to Fascinate

The new Jawa Perak maintains the bobber design with its low-slung and floating single seat, an integrated taillight, teardrop fuel tank, and low-set and broad handlebar without a pillion seat.

With its bullet shell-shaped headlight, long forks, and 1485 mm wheelbase, the design is unmistakably Jawa. The bike’s engine and spoked wheels get covered in a menacing blacked-out paint job.

The Perak is a stunning motorbike since it is a factory-custom bobber. It has a matte black-grey paint job that adheres to a blacked-out motif, and most of its mechanical components are black.

Gold pinstriping highlights the design on the fuel tank, side panels, and fenders. The floating seat design with a tan-brown leather seat that gives the Perak the traditional bobber stance is the second major selling point of the vehicle.

The Jawa Perak motorbike distinguishes out because of its side profile, and the single-piece seat and the long extended swingarm further enhance the motorcycle’s distinctiveness. Similar to other earlier models, the gasoline tank has a teardrop-shaped form.

Jawa Perak comes in one colour:

• Black

Jawa Perak offers one variant:

• Jawa Perak STD

The Perak gets outfitted with standard halogen lamps everywhere, but the tail lamp is an LED. The instrument cluster is a circular piece that features an odometer with a small digital display taken from the Jawa Standard.

The motorcycle has monoshock mounts underneath the seat for the back and telescopic forks up front. At both ends, dual-channel ABS reinforced disc brakes perform braking functions.

The Jawa Perak features simple styling and design components, and it does, however, provide several essential features and accessories. It comprises a single-sided extended aluminium swingarm and a single-pod instrument cluster on top of the headlamp housing.

With a seat height of 750mm, the Jawa Perak is a bit high for anybody under 5 feet 8 inches tall. Once seated, you will need to squat a little to reach the handlebars because the rider’s triangle is powerful but not as harsh as the older model.

The larger engine is the main distinction between the Jawa Perak and other JAWA bikes. A single-cylinder, 334 cc DOHC engine with liquid cooling and a maximum output of 30.22 PS @ 6100rpm and 32.74 Nm @ 4000rpm powers the motorcycle.

The engine uses the same 293 cc mill as the Jawa and the Jawa 42 but has been bored out to produce more power. The motor is the first Jawa to meet the upcoming emission standards because it has a 6-speed gearbox and is BS6 certified.

Telescopic forks handle the front suspension, and in place of the dual shocks found on earlier JAWA motorcycles, the monoshock unit manages the rear suspension.

The swing arm-mounted mono-shock with preload adjustment is still in the back. The front and rear suspension parts got significantly modified to match the new chassis’ dynamics.

For stopping power, double disc brakes with dual-channel ABS are standard. Additionally, the swingarm is longer than it was on earlier Jawa motorcycles.
