As per our sources, total 3 Jawa bikes will launch. The first one is going to be unveiled on 15th November. We expect that in the remaining 2 bikes, one bike might use the Yezdi moniker.
We all know that Classic Legends is going to unveil the 300cc Jawa next month, on 15th. They have revealed the engine too. When we contacted our dealer source, he said that three bikes will be launching ranging between 250-400cc. Since we have a 300cc one in the line, details of the other 2 bikes still remain. We believe that one would be a Jawa with a different engine and also a Yezdi. Jawa Motorcycles when debuted in India, they had a good run with the Jawa name for a decade or so. After that, their bikes were named Yezdi, which grew on to be more successful.
The new 2017 Jawa 350 was revealed some months ago. Much like its predecessor, the new motorcycle has a 350 cc heart and its design pays homage to the original one. A big difference, however, is that the engine is no more a 2-stroke unit. The company has used a 4-stroke motor in order to meet the much stricter emission norms of today’s day and age. So, it will lose its earlier engine and that classic noise but will get the same body. One of the good things about such restored or revived bikes is that they get almost the same body, but they lose their engines, their iconic throttle sound and also cheap pricing.

Yezdi Launch Date
| Launch Date (expected) | Late 2018/Early 2019 |
Mahindra hasn’t yet made an official announcement on the launch date of the new bike. However, it’s worth a note here that the manufacturer recently launched the official website for Yezdi. This, along, hints at a fast-approaching launch. Subsequently, its launch could happen at the end of 2018.
Production of the new Yezdi will take place at Mahindra’s Pithampur facility. The new bike will be also exported as the new Jawa 350. We await an official word on the launch date at the moment.
Yezdi Price
| Price (expected) | Rs 1.5 lakh |
Price of the new Yezdi model will be announced only at the time of its launch. However, Mahindra has been pretty vocal about positioning this new brand as a lifestyle offering. This means there’s a high chance of prices being on the higher side. We’re expecting a price of Rs 1.5 lakh for the upcoming model. The new bike will be manufactured locally and India will be the export hub for this new model. The new offering will go on to rival the Royal Enfield Classic 350.
Yezdi Specifications
| Engine | 350cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled |
| Max. Power | 26 BHP @ 5,250 RPM |
| Peak Torque | 32 Nm @ 4,750 RPM |
| Transmission | 4-speed Manual |
The new Yezdi will have the same single-cylinder 350cc engine that powers the 2017 Jawa 350. This engine comes from a Chinese engine manufacturer, Shineray. Essentially, this engine is based on an old Honda engine. The motor outputs a max. power of 26 BHP and a peak torque of 32 Nm. It comes mated to a four-speed manual transmission. That said, we’re hoping Mahindra would take note of this and offer a five-speed unit. The new bike will offer ABS.
Yezdi Mileage
| Maximum Mileage | 30 KMPL |
| Minimum Mileage | 24 KMPL |
While the ARAI mileage figure will be out only around the launch, it’s possible that this engine will offer a maximum mileage of 30 KMPL. Based on a slightly outdated engine, the motor won’t be as efficient as some of its modern counterparts.
Yezdi Top Speed
| Top Speed | 130 KMPH |
The claimed top speed for the Jawa 350 is 130 KMPH. The India-spec Yezdi could have the same claimed figure.
