In short
The Jawa Perak, on sale since 2019, is Jawa's bobber flagship at ₹2.22 lakh, using the same 334cc single tuned to 30.2 bhp, the most powerful figure among current Jawa models. A single Stealth colourway and a sparse feature list keep it minimalist, and 145mm ground clearance is the tightest in the lineup, a trade-off for its low-slung custom look.
What works
- 30.2 bhp, the highest output of any current Jawa
- 750 mm seat height and bobber stance for a distinctive low ride
- 7-step adjustable monoshock rear suspension
- Dual-channel ABS with twin disc brakes
What doesn't
- Single colour option, Stealth, with no alternatives
- 145 mm ground clearance is the lowest of any Jawa model here
- Basic feature list next to the newer 42 Bobber at a similar price
Best for: Bobber purists, Solo city riding, Distinctive styling seekers
Price and variants

On the road in Delhi the base Perak comes to ₹2.53 Lakh: ₹2,19,950 ex-showroom, ₹18,726 in Delhi road tax and registration (8.5%), ₹13,856 for first-year insurance. Dealers add handling and accessory packs on top; both are negotiable.

Mileage
Perak's claimed mileage is 30 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 28–31 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.
Engine and ride
The 334cc liquid-cooled engine makes 30.2 bhp and 32.74 Nm through a 6 Speed. With a kerb weight of 185 kg that is 163 bhp per tonne, 42th best power-to-weight of the 59 bikes in this class we have reviewed.
The torque and power figures are well balanced, so it neither needs to be revved hard nor feels lazy when you do.
Chassis hardware includes a rear monoshock and dual-channel ABS, with a disc, 280 mm, 2 piston caliper up front and disc, 240 mm, 1 piston caliper at the rear.
Seat height is a low 750 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The Perak remains Jawa's statement bobber, the most powerful engine in the range wrapped in a stripped-back, single-colour design. It is a style-first purchase rather than the best value in Jawa's lineup.
Riding it every day
With 30.2 bhp on tap, the Perak has real urgency for overtakes and highway cruising, and the adjustable monoshock lets the ride be tuned to taste. The low 750 mm seat and bobber stance make it easy to manage at traffic lights, but the 145 mm ground clearance demands care over speed breakers and broken patches, a genuine daily consideration in most Indian cities.
What to know before buying
A single Stealth colourway means no customisation choice at purchase beyond aftermarket work, unlike every other Jawa in this comparison. The feature list is sparse next to the newer 42 Bobber, missing LED headlamps and USB charging that a similarly priced newer Jawa includes. As with the rest of the range, confirm Jawa's service centre coverage in your city before buying, since bobber-specific parts may take longer to source in smaller towns.
Who should buy it
Riders who want Jawa's original, purest bobber shape and the most power in the family, and who are not fussed about colour choice or the latest features, will still find the Perak appealing. Buyers wanting more equipment for similar money should cross-shop the 42 Bobber first.
Features
- Dual-channel ABS
- Front disc brake
- Rear disc brake
- Hazard lamps
- Rear monoshock
- LED tail lamp
- Digital console
- Engine kill switch
On safety kit the Perak has dual-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake and hazard lamps. Dual-channel ABS is the one item on this list worth paying for if it is variant-dependent.
Against Goan Classic 350, 42 FJ or Rebel 300, it gets rear monoshock that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off, slipper clutch and led headlamp, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 1 colours: Stealth. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 2 years or 24,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 6,000 km.
Jawa runs a limited sales and service network in India, at roughly 400 touchpoints. Check the nearest workshop before buying if you live outside a metro; a 40 km ride for every service adds up.
On sale since 2019, the Perak is established enough that early production issues have been worked through and used examples give a fair read on resale.
Perak: questions people ask
- What is the price of the Jawa Perak?
- The Perak is priced at ₹2,21,820 ex-showroom Delhi in its single variant, as of September 2026. On-road price adds road tax, registration and insurance.
- What is the on-road price of the Perak in Delhi?
- About ₹2.53 Lakh for the base variant in Delhi: ₹2,19,950 ex-showroom plus ₹18,726 in Delhi road tax and registration and ₹13,856 for first-year insurance. Figure from dealer quotes, updated monthly; handling and accessory packs can add more.
- What is the mileage of the Perak?
- Claimed mileage is 30 kmpl. Owners typically see 28–31 kmpl in mixed city and highway riding.
- How much does the Perak cost to run per month?
- Fuel works out to about ₹3.21 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹2,507 a month before servicing.
- What is the EMI for the Perak?
- With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹7,030 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.
- What is the engine capacity and power of the Perak?
- It uses a 334cc engine producing 30.2 bhp and 32.74 Nm, with a 6 speed.
- Is the Perak suitable for short riders?
- Yes. Seat height is 750 mm, low for the class, so riders around 5'2" and above can reach the ground comfortably.
- Perak or Goan Classic 350: which is better?
- The Goan Classic 350 is ₹3,491 more expensive to start and more efficient at 36.2 kmpl against 30 kmpl. Pick the Perak for bobber purists, the Goan Classic 350 for relaxed cruising. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.
- Which bikes are cheaper than the Perak?
- Among the 64 cruisers we have reviewed, the Classic 350 (₹1.98 Lakh), the Ronin 225 (₹1.3 Lakh), the Avenger Cruise 220 (₹1.34 Lakh) start lower.
- Is the Perak's low ground clearance a problem in Indian traffic?
- At 145 mm it is the lowest in Jawa's range, so tall speed breakers and rutted lanes need to be taken slowly and at an angle to avoid scraping. It is best suited to riders with smoother commute routes rather than daily rough-road use.
- Does the Perak justify its price over the 42 Bobber?
- The Perak offers slightly more power and a purer bobber stance, but the newer 42 Bobber matches it closely on performance with a longer colour choice and similar features for less money. The Perak's appeal is mostly about being Jawa's original bobber design rather than a clear spec advantage.
