Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

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
Royal Enfield Meteor 350
- New engine feels infinitely more refined at high RPMs and has a good spread of torque
- Easy to ride for people of different sizes and skill levels
- The iconic thump is still very much present

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
Royal Enfield Meteor 350
- Navigation pod aside, equipment levels are pretty basic
- Engine could do with a little more grunt
- Rear suspension is a bit stiff for our roads

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

Overall review of Meteor
I got the fireball variant and had the windscreen, tripper navigation and backrest attached from RE itself. Talking about riding position. It is the one of the only bike after Bajaj avenger to have gears and rear brake slighty ahead to give you good posture. Mileage is pretty good as it gives 37 on long routes. Bike is comfortable but with a custom seat it would be more comforable for pillion. The weight ratio is very well divided which gives superior control of the bike. Coming from a 160cc avenger , i never felt it's heaviness and adapted to this bike pretty quick.

Justice for meteor 350
A good bike but they can add more new modern features and they could also give some more power and torque to the bike . Also there is need of some new colours it is boring to see all the old colours again and again . These bike deserves a lot more things then what it is having currently. I know it's a critic but it is what i see
