Expert's Opinion on 42 Bobber
Overview

A Fun Yet Practical Bobber
- The Jawa 42 Bobber is a beautiful looking 400cc bobber that enjoys a unique positioning in the Indian market as the only bobber in that segment. It offers punchy performance and everyday rideability at the same time.
Design

Eye Candy
- The true-blue bobber styling makes it standout on the road
- The single-piece seat along with the tyre hugging fender makes it one of the segment’s most unique bikes
- The Black Mirror colour scheme with the chrome fuel tank and blacked-out finish makes the bike look quite stunning
Performance & Mileage

Punchy Performance
- 334cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine offers smooth and refined performance
- The engine has a peaky nature to it and offers quick acceleration
- Good performance at higher speeds and higher revs; overtaking at highways is a breeze
- We got a decent 30.56kmpl mileage figure in the city during our road tests
- Engine’s peaky nature translates to frequent gear changes in the city
- Gearbox feels quite clunky, negating some of the smooth experiences offered by the engine
- Vibrations can be felt at the handlebar, footpegs and fuel tank post the 100kmph mark
Handling

Agile Handler
- Bike feels agile and tips into corners easily
- It is easy to manoeuvre the bike in city traffic conditions
- The brakes offer good stopping power and the levers offer good feedback as well
Ride Quality

Between Good and Plush
- The suspension absorbs bumps and potholes quite well most of the time
- At high speeds and after long hours on the saddle, road imperfections can be felt on the rider’s backside
Comfort & Storage

Adequately Comfy
- The upright riding posture leads to a comfortable riding experience
- The seat is well cushioned, which is a boon during those weekend rides
- The leg position is slightly weird and makes it awkward to grip the tank
Features

Build Quality Left To Be Desired
- The features list with the LCD instrument console is decent for a retro style bobber
- The USB charging port is a handy feature
- The readability of the console under harsh sunlight needed to be better
- The fit and finish levels of the console also could have been better
Verdict

Should you buy the Jawa 42 Bobber?
- The 42 Bobber offers a good package of beautiful looks, punchy performance and agile handling
- If you aren’t that bothered about fancy features and want a 400cc bobber, then it is a good option to consider
