The bike is expected to come with analogue instrument cluster. There is a single disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear, a single channel ABS is expected as it has been mandated by the government.

The launch of the bike is scheduled for November 15 and it will be priced around Rs. 1.5 lakh (ex-showroom). The modern classic Jawa motorcycle will take on Royal Enfield Classic 350 and Bullet 350.
