Developed in partnership with Chinese brand Jedi, Jawa 1000 Sport Cruiser is likely to be limited to 15 units
Jawa 1000 Sport Cruiser concept has been unveiled at the Brno bike show in Czech Republic. Tipping the weighing scale at around 240 kg, it has been presented with a twin-cylinder engine which could generate max power of 113 bhp. Developed in partnership with Chinese brand Jedi, the 1000 Sport Cruiser is likely to be limited to 15 units. The concept version showcased at the Brno bike show is reportedly a pre-production prototype which has been designed by Jan Hrbek – the guy famous for Jawa’s signature paint colour.
Though originally rolled out as a cruiser, Jawa 1000 Sport Cruiser gets multiple high-performance elements in the form of Brembo Stylema brake calipers and Ohlins suspension setup at front and rear. The exhaust pipe boasts of a unique Leo Vince end can while the engine features a 270-degree crankshaft layout. It is expected to carry a price tag of around £53,000 (Approx Rs 56 Lakh).
It is not yet confirmed when the concept will be readied into a full-fledged production model due to the highly unconventional design of the engine casings. The model showcased at the Brno bike show looks more of an early-stage, non-functional 3D-printed or clay styling prototype. Even if it makes to the production line, an India launch is highly unlikely due to the price tag it carries.
Jawa has been retailing 300-350cc small engine displacement motorcycles in the Indian market since its resurrection in 2022. Owned by Mahindra’s Classic Legends, it sells cruiser and bobber models in our country which includes the likes of Jawa Perak, Jawa 42, Jawa 350, Jawa 42 Bobber and Jawa 42 FJ. The adventure and roadster bikes are sold under ‘Yezdi’ branding.
Recently, the 2026 Jawa 42 was launched at a sticker price of Rs 1.85 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi) in the Indian market. Introduced in a new a pastel Ivory paint shade, it features the signature ‘42’ retro detailing with elements like chequered-flag graphics, bold decals and classic badging. Apart from the new colour, Jawa 42 remains the same in terms of aesthetics, features, cycle parts and engine specs while available with a standard warranty of 4-year/50,000-km.
At the heart, the 2026 Jawa 42 has the same 294 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled J-Panther petrol engine which belts out top power of 27 bhp and peak torque of 26.8 Nm. The engine is linked to a 6-speed gearbox and assist and slipper (A&S) clutch, which are first-in-segment features. The brand claims that it is up to 40 percent more powerful than other 350cc motorcycles in the category.
