Jawa 350

Ex-showroom Delhi, the 350 range runs from ₹1,82,531 (Legacy Edition) to ₹2,21,474 (Chrome - Spoke) across 5 variants.

That makes it priced 4th lowest among the 53 cruisers we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the 42 (₹4,197 more) and the CB350 (₹14,503 more).

On the road in Delhi the base 350 comes to ₹2.1 Lakh: ₹1,82,531 ex-showroom, ₹16,102 in Delhi road tax and registration (8.8%), ₹11,784 for first-year insurance. Dealers add handling and accessory packs on top; both are negotiable.

350's claimed mileage is 29.5 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 27–31 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.

Among the 40 cruisers we have reviewed it ranks 12th for mileage, 4 kmpl above the group average of 25 kmpl.

Power comes from a 334cc single producing 22.26 bhp and 28.1 Nm, paired with a 6 Speed. At 194 kg the power-to-weight figure is 115 bhp per tonne, which ranks 46 of 51 in its class here.

Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.

Chassis hardware includes dual-channel ABS and a slipper clutch, with a disc, 280 mm, 2 piston caliper up front and disc, 240 mm, 1 piston caliper at the rear.

At 790 mm the seat is average for the class; most riders from 5'5" up will be comfortable at stops.

On safety kit the 350 has dual-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. Dual-channel ABS is the one item on this list worth paying for if it is variant-dependent.

Against Classic 350, 42 FJ or 42, it gets led tail lamp that most rivals skip.

What it lacks: alloy wheels and tubeless tyres, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.

It is offered in 8 colours: White, Black, Orange, Maroon, Deep Forest, Grey, Obsidian Black and Chrome Maroon. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Standard warranty is 2 years or 24,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 6,000 km.

Service reach is the weak point: Jawa has about 400 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country. Confirm there is one within reach before you sign.

The 350 launched in 2024, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
