Jawa Classic 300 vs Royal Enfield Classic 350: Mahindra’s sub-brand Classic Legends has officially launched the rear disc brake model of the Jawa Classic 300 in India for INR 1.73 lakh (ex-showroom). The updated model is also equipped with 2-Channel Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). It is good to see that Jawa took the customer feedback seriously and launched the updated model within a few days after the official launch of Jawa motorcycles in India.
Another good thing is that the customers who booked the 1-channel ABS (rear drum brake) model can upgrade to the dual-channel ABS model with a rear disc brake with no changes to the booking amount. The deliveries of the updated Jawa Classic 300 will begin in June 2019. Jawa Classic 300 targets the Royal Enfield Classic 350, offering a lot more than what buyers presently get at this price point.
In comparison to the RE Classic 350, Jawa wins with 7.2 BHP of more power, BS6-compliant engine, liquid cooling, fuel injection, better top speed, and 22 kg of lesser overall body weight. Jawa has simply taken the standards to the next level. Here is a quick technical specification comparison between the updated model of Jawa Classic 300 and the Royal Enfield Classic 350 ABS.
