          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons
          • Bajaj Avenger Street 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 Street 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

            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

            Jawa 42 Cosmic Rock DT
            I have 42 Cosmic rock dt , bike is performance vice so great it smokes RE’s and great features and comfort and safety , breaking is accurate and to the point , i dont feel any issue at all regarding ground clearance. It is decent . The only problem is mileage, i get only around 25 in the city and 30 on highway with avg speed of 80 and other problem is engine heating , yes it heats alot. Overall bike is great i love it . Just the mileage and heating is negative point
