          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
