They have now revealed it on twitter. As per that, the Jawa and Jawa 42 deliver a ARAI certified figure of 37.5 kmpl. This is a little more than Mojo’s mileage of 35 kmpl.

The lineup will be joined by the retro bobber styled Perak which launches towards the end of 2019.The motorcycles are produced at the company’s Pithampur plant in Madhya Pradesh.
Jawa bikes are powered by a 293 cc, single cylinder, 4 stroke, liquid cooled, DOHC engine offering 27 bhp power and 28 Nm torque mated to a constant mesh 6 speed gearbox. The engine is tuned to offer optimal mid range performance and an exhaust note that is distinctive of a classic Jawa bike.
Classic Legends Pvt.

This allows customers to walk into any dealership with an old bike and get it exchanged for a new Jawa bike.
