Jawa-Yezdi Motorcycles India has officially expanded its 'All Stars' portfolio with the launch of the 2026 Jawa 42 All Stars Edition. Priced starting from Rs 1.85 lakh (ex-showroom), this model joins the recently debuted 42 FJ and 42 Bobber All Stars editions. This represents the first significant comprehensive update to the entry-level Jawa 42 since 2024.
The All Stars Edition is more than just a cosmetic refresh. The motorcycle features redesigned front and rear fenders, revised side covers, and a new alloy wheel design. Most notably, it adopts the upswept exhaust system seen on the 42 FJ, giving it a more aggressive, sporty profile. The ride quality and visual stance are further enhanced by fatter tyres—100/90-18 at the front and 150/70-17 at the rear—providing a broader footprint compared to the previous 90/90 and 120/80 setup.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that Jawa is strategically targeting the 'urban agility' segment. By slashing the kerb weight from 182-184 kg down to 175 kg, the 42 All Stars becomes significantly more flickable in city traffic. The inclusion of dual-channel ABS as standard further aligns the bike with modern safety expectations in the 300cc category.
| Feature | Outgoing Jawa 42 | Jawa 42 All Stars Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Kerb Weight | 182-184 kg | 175 kg |
| Front Tyre | 90/90 | 100/90-18 |
| Rear Tyre | 120/80 | 150/70-17 |
| Seat Height | 788 mm | 795 mm |
Under the hood, the motorcycle retains its potent 295cc liquid-cooled engine, which delivers 26.8 bhp and 26.3 Nm of peak torque. This engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, ensuring a smooth power delivery across the rev range. The 13.2-litre fuel tank remains unchanged, maintaining its long-distance viability.
"The Jawa 42 All Stars Edition successfully bridges the gap between heritage aesthetics and modern performance, making it a formidable competitor in the retro-modern segment."
The pricing strategy is tiered based on color options, with the 'All Stars Ivory' being the most affordable at Rs 1.85 lakh and the 'All Stars Black' topping the list at Rs 1.90 lakh. A non-All Stars Ivory and Black variant is also available for Rs 1.80 lakh. Deliveries are scheduled to commence on September 14.
