The new Jawa engine is a befitting testament to the old one. First up , let’s get past the specifications of the Jawa. A 293cc – Liquid Cooled – Single Cylinder – DOHC, because specs alone won’t do justice to the new engine. It packs 27 bhp and 28 Nm of torque.Yes they gave it a generous mid-range and a flat torque curve for an unwavering, consistently powered ride. The brief they took upon themselves was always to build an engine that had the Jawa DNA. Classic, yet sporty. And it was clear, if anything, it had to be free revving.
They worked closely with one of the world’s leading engine specialist at the technical center in Varese, Italy. Not only did they build an engine with a near flat torque curve and generous mid-range, but also a motor strong enough to last a lifetime. Piece by piece bringing together Classic and Sporty all in one!
However it was not just the aesthetics and power delivery they tried to engineer. The unique exhaust note of the old Jawa was something that they were in love with. They wanted their engine to have a unique sound, given that replicating the tone of a classic 2-stroke on a modern day 4-stroke would be a big challenge. Thus a maverick team of sound engineers in Italy worked extensively with the team through countless cycles of harmonic pipe combinations and multiple other permutations to discover a sound that was worthy of the new Jawa.
While the engine is built with a reminiscent sameness yet is an engine of the future. The all new Jawa engine is based on a BS6 ready platform. From the tuning of the fuel injection to the gearbox that completes the powertrain, they believe one will get from this engine, what one seeks in a classic.
