Jawa 42 All Stars 2026: Price, Specs, Changes & Rivals

Last verified: 13 September 2026. The Jawa 42 All Stars is the 294.72cc, liquid-cooled Jawa 42 launched in India on 9 September 2026, according to current launch coverage. It is not the 334cc Jawa 42 FJ. The All Stars range is listed at roughly ₹1.85–₹1.90 lakh ex-showroom Delhi, depending on colour and variant; this is media-confirmed launch pricing rather than a single nationwide official price.

Quick launch summary

The 2026 Jawa 42 All Stars brings a 294.72cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, a six-speed gearbox and assist-and-slipper clutch to the familiar roadster formula. Its key differentiators are the wider 150/70-17 rear tyre, revised suspension and seat focus, refreshed colour choices, digital instrumentation, USB charging and dual-channel ABS on All Stars versions. The aim is a more rounded specification, not a different 334cc platform.

Price and colour-wise positioning

Current launch listings place the All Stars from about ₹1.85 lakh and up to about ₹1.90 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. Treat that as colour/variant-dependent media-confirmed positioning. It should not be confused with lower entry prices attached to the broader Jawa 42 range. Before booking, buyers should ask a dealer for their city’s current ex-showroom and on-road figure.

294.72cc engine and gearbox

The core is a 294.72cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. Launch coverage quotes output at around 27.2 hp and 26.3 Nm; these are media-confirmed figures where a standalone current Jawa launch specification is not exposed. A six-speed gearbox and assist-and-slipper clutch are part of the reported package. That makes this a distinct proposition from the Jawa 42 FJ’s 334cc format, and the two should not be compared as identical variants.

What changes for 2026?

The All Stars update centres on refinement and specification: revised suspension tuning, more supportive seat cushioning, the wider rear tyre and a colour-led refresh. Jawa also highlights the J-Panther direction of the powertrain; specific real-world NVH or ride claims are deliberately not made here because this is a launch analysis, not a first-hand road test.

Colours and styling

Current listings identify Ivory, Moss Grey, Battle Green, Nebula Blue and Black in the All Stars palette. Availability can differ by dealer or variant, so colours should be confirmed locally. The All Stars keeps the compact neo-classic roadster silhouette, while the wider rear tyre gives the rear view a more planted visual stance without turning it into a different motorcycle category.

Suspension, brakes and tyres

The reported hardware includes a 35 mm telescopic hydraulic fork, twin gas-charged rear shocks with adjustable preload, a 280 mm front disc and 240 mm rear disc. The All Stars specification includes dual-channel ABS. The 100/90-18 front and 150/70-17 rear tyre combination is useful context for buyers comparing it with roadsters that use narrower rear rubber. Exact comfort, grip and braking performance depend on conditions and are not claimed here.

Features and everyday context

A digital instrument cluster and USB charging improve day-to-day usability, while the 13.2-litre fuel tank is quoted for the model. No official certified mileage figure is stated here. Any 30–33 kmpl discussion seen in launch coverage is indicative/media-reported, not a Jawa-certified promise. That distinction matters more than an optimistic number in a buying decision.

Rivals: Hunter 350, Classic 350 and Honda CB350

The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and Classic 350 use 349cc engines rated at 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm with five-speed gearboxes. Honda’s CB350 family uses a 348.36cc engine with 20.7 bhp, 29.4 Nm and a five-speed gearbox. On paper, the Jawa’s reported power output and six-speed transmission stand out; the rivals answer with their own character, dealer networks and established ownership ecosystems. Compare live city pricing, riding position and service access before treating a specification table as a final verdict.

Pros and cons

Potential positives: media-confirmed 294.72cc liquid-cooled package, six-speed gearbox, assist-and-slipper clutch, wider rear tyre, dual-channel ABS and distinctive colours. Points to check: final colour-wise pricing, dealer availability, local service experience and a test ride before choosing between Jawa and the established 350cc alternatives.

Who should consider it?

It deserves attention from riders wanting a modern-classic roadster with a liquid-cooled 294cc engine and a six-speed gearbox. It is particularly relevant if the All Stars styling and reported equipment list appeal more than the retro-tourer approach of some rivals.

The 2026 changes are chiefly about making the All Stars package feel more complete on paper: the reported revised suspension tune and improved seat cushioning address everyday usability, while the 150-section rear tyre, digital cluster, USB charging and dual-channel ABS make the specification easier to compare with modern roadsters. They are not a licence to assume a particular ride quality; a showroom inspection and test ride remain essential.

Against the Hunter 350, the Jawa makes sense for buyers attracted by a liquid-cooled 294cc engine, reported higher peak output and a six-speed transmission. The Hunter remains the more established choice for buyers who prioritise its broad dealer network and familiar J-series character. Against the Classic 350, the decision is more about style and riding position: the Classic leans traditional, while the 42 All Stars is the more compact roadster-shaped alternative.

Buy the Jawa if the All Stars’ colour palette, equipment list and media-confirmed price band fit your shortlist after a local quotation. Skip it if you need a settled ownership record, a lower-risk service-network decision or a specific real-world mileage promise today. Neither conclusion needs a fake ride claim: the final call should follow a test ride, dealer support check and price comparison in your city.

AutoHunt verdict

The Jawa 42 All Stars is a meaningful specification-led refresh, not a 42 FJ substitute. Its price band and reported upgrades create a credible alternative in the middleweight roadster space. The sensible buyer should use the media-confirmed launch facts as a starting point, then verify colour, price and availability with Jawa before booking.
