All about Jawa 300 vs KTM 390 Duke vs Dominar 400 ✓ Specification ✓ Price ✓ Mileage ✓ Color ✓ Features ✓ ABS ✓ Comparison.
The Iconic Jawa Motorcycle brand launched the new 300cc motorcycle in India. The reintroduction of the brand in India will take place 22 years after closing their operations in the country back in 1996. Back in 2016, Mahindra and Mahindra, one of the India’s largest automobile conglomerate acquired the brand licence to produce and sell Jawa motorcycles in the Indian sub-continent. Jawa and features a properly old school design similar to the Jawa bikes of the past. Even the instrument console is reminiscent of the older motorcycle, but gets a small digital inset for the odometer. The speedometer and the fuel gauge are analogue units. Despite being technologically modern, the engine has been designed to look like the two-stroke motors seen on older Jawas, adding more character to the overall styling.
KTM 390 Duke debuted at the 2012 EICMA show in Milan, italy and went on sale in India in 2013. In its home market, the 390 Duke’s engine size and weight place it in the midrange category, and it sells for more than three times the average price of a motorcycle in India. In 2017 KTM 390 Duke hasn’t got a bump in power or torque. That is just about the only thing that hasn’t changed about it. It looks the part, having derived styling from the 1290 Super Duke.
Dominar, the newest family of motorcycles from Bajaj. And, one that Bajaj claim will re-energise the motorcycling market in India much the same way the Pulsars did 16 years ago. The first motorcycle from the Dominar family is the Dominar 400, and we hopped on to see for ourselves, what could make this motorcycle a game changer. The single-cylinder motor delivers 35PS at 8,000rpm and 35Nm at 6,500rpm of peak torque (43PS and 35Nm on the KTM 390 Duke).
