          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons
          • Bajaj Avenger 160

            • India’s most affordable cruiser
            • Has a classic cruiser look, with the low seat, forward-set footpegs, and easy-to-reach handlebars
            • Comfortable and easy to ride in the city

            Jawa 42

            • Motor feels a lot more usable, with the torque spread evenly across the rev range. This helps in riding at moderate speeds at a gear higher, which wasn’t possible earlier
            • Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
            • Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy
          • Bajaj Avenger 160

            • Dual-channel ABS would have been a nice addition
            • Build quality could have been better
            • Could have given better mileage

            Jawa 42

            • The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
            • Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps

            Affordable cruiser
            Very comfortable bike and cheapest cruiser available in india. 160 cc works for short rides and does the job. Can face problems while taking a tight space u turn or curve. I have personally taken the 160 cc bike on mountains which are of low level adventure and easy to climb like mussoorie, nainital etc.

            Comfort for long ride
            Best for short height riders but not comfortable for riders above 5”8 riders. Need to tune the engine so that we get performance as well as mileage also and company need to work on styling also. We need digital tachometer and LED in it for better throw of lights at night. And need good grabs handles for pillion

            About jawa42
            I'm loving the classic modern design of the Jawa 42! 🤩 The twin exhaust adds a touch of retro charm. Plus, the high pickup and top speed make it a blast to ride. It's perfect for long rides with its impressive mileage and reliable brakes. Anyone else a fan of this beauty? #Jawa42 #Motorcycle #ClassicModern

            Jawa 42 black dual abs and alloy
            Bike is in exceptional good condition as less driven by me. I had to move to banglore this didn’t get much time to drive it. I have full service record till date of timely maintenance. If you are looking for a bike which is very less driven than this is the chance to grab it as early as possible. Price is negotiable but not too much.

            Good looking and heavy performance , above average comfort, design can be modified, more dashing with double silencer and many more. Two people can comfortably sit.
