The new Jawa 350 OHC is a mix of old and new generation of style and performance. As per Jawa Czech Republic website, powering the 2017 Jawa 350 OHC is an air-cooled single-cylinder motor from Chinese manufacturer Shineray, itself a derivation of an older Honda design.

The 397cc single cylinder is capable of producing 27.35bhp and 30.6Nm of torque and is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The motor meets the current Euro 4 emission norms.

The Jawa 350 OHC features modern technology such as Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). Along with modern tech, the Jawa 350 OHC has the styling which throws you back to the 1970s.

Other specs include 160kg dry weight and 12-litre fuel tank. Additionally, the Jawa 350 OHC sports 19-inch wheels at the front and 18-inch for the rear.
