    2025 Jawa 42 FJ Spied Without Dual Exhaust

    2025 Jawa 42 FJ Spied With Single ExhaustWith the updated exhaust setup, 2025 Jawa 42 FJ will be lighter, offering a higher power-to-weight ratio and more agile handling
    In the competitive sub-middleweight motorcycle segment, unique features can help draw in enthusiasts. A relevant example is Jawa 42 FJ, which uses a dual exhaust setup. While single-cylinder bikes typically don’t require dual exhausts, having them enhances the retro feel. However, based on recent spy shots, it appears that Jawa may be going back to the standard single exhaust setup. Let’s look at the possibilities.
    2025 Jawa 42 FJ spied
    As is evident from the image, the 2025 Jawa 42 FJ does not have an exhaust on the left side. On top of that, the single exhaust on the right side is not clearly visible. It is possible that the new 2025 Jawa 42 FJ could also get an underbelly exhaust. Due to the low-resolution image or possibly an optical illusion, it’s difficult to confirm the presence of a right-side exhaust.
    2025 Jawa 42 FJ Spied With Single Exhaust
    However, since Jawa 42 FJ leans heavily on retro styling, a single exhaust setup is more likely. The retro aesthetics are evident with the circular headlamp, classic teardrop fuel tank design, long exhaust pipe and broad rear fender. Moreover, all the popular 350cc bikes from rival brands utilize a single exhaust setup. Using an underbelly exhaust may actually alienate enthusiasts who prefer the retro look and feel.
    Single exhaust benefits
    With a single exhaust setup, users can expect multiple benefits from 2025 Jawa 42 FJ. The bike will become lightweight, effectively enhancing agility and overall control and handling. Users will find it easier to navigate the bike through tight spaces such as heavy traffic and packed parking slots.
    2025 Jawa 42 FJ Spied With Single Exhaust
    With less weight, the power-to-weight ratio will also go up. Powering the bike is a 334cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine that generates 29.17 PS and 29.62 Nm of torque. It is mated to a constant mesh 6-speed gearbox.
    Since the dual-exhaust setup is largely a cosmetic feature, switching to a single exhaust can help reduce production costs. It is unlikely to result in any major tweaks to the powertrain components and other related parts. The existing Jawa 42 FJ dual-channel ABS variant is available at a starting price of Rs 2.15 lakh. Users can choose from a total of six colour options.
    New Jawa 42 FJ Spied With Single Exhaust
    No other changes detected
    Excluding the single-sided exhaust setup, there don’t appear to be any other changes in 2025 Jawa 42 FJ. The bike is a more stylized and powerful version of the standard Jawa 42. Some of the key features include a round LED headlamp, telescopic front forks, a single-piece seat, a split grab rail and an upswept exhaust. The bike uses a double cradle frame.
    Both ends have disc brakes with ABS. Front and rear wheels are 18-inch and 17-inch, wrapped in 100/90 and 140/70 tyres, respectively. The wide tyres improve traction at high speeds and also work to enhance the bike’s visual appeal. Jawa 42 FJ has a seat height of 790 mm, which seems ideal for optimal control and handling.

Hero Glamour Drum brake variants (MY24 + OBD-2B) are available in four colour options – Gun Metal Black Silver, Candy Blazing Red, Techno Blu Met Blk and Black-Sports Red. The Disc variants have the same colours but miss out on the Black-Sports Red option.
    2025 Hero Glamour 125 Black Metallic Silver
    As compared to the Super Splendor XTEC, Hero Glamour has more stylized and eye-catching graphics on the fuel tank and side panels. Hero Glamour has features such as a fully digital instrument console, LED headlamp and real-time mileage indicator. However, the bike does not get Bluetooth like the Super Splendor XTEC.

    2025 Bajaj Platina 110 Reach Showrooms Before Launch – Major Update

    2025 Bajaj Platina 110 UpdatedEarlier this year, Bajaj discontinued Platina 110 ABS variant from its portfolio alongside CT125X and Pulsar F250. However, the company carried over non ABS drum brake variant of Platina 110 forward. Fast forwarding to April 2025, Bajaj has given Platina 110 a major update and updated units have been reaching showrooms. Let’s take a closer look.
    2025 Bajaj Platina 110
    The affordable budget commuter segment has been one-sided for a very long time in the favour of Hero MotoCorp’s Splendor range. However, Hero doesn’t operate in the 110cc segment, which is positioned between 100cc and 125cc. That’s where Bajaj’s Platina 110 comes into the scene and for MY25 version, it brings major updates along with it.
    2025 Bajaj Platina 110 Updated
    For starters, there seems to be a new set of colours and the one seen in the video by Machine Rules shows a new colourway. Where black acts as the base colour and there’s a light green shade used for highlights and graphics. Same shade of green can also be seen in pinstriping done on alloy wheels.
    In contrast, the MY24 Platina 110 was offered in three colourways with graphics – Ebony Black Blue, Ebony Black Red and Cocktail Wine Red – Orange. Apart from the colours, there are a few visual updates to 2025 Bajaj Platina 110 that distinguish it from MY24 model. MY25 version gets a chrome surround engulfing headlight that is absent in MY24 model.
    2025 Bajaj Platina 110 Updated With Fuel Injector
    Also, Bajaj Auto seems to have stopped offering the translucent knuckle guards on MY25 model or they may not be installed on this particular unit seen in this video. Other updates include the addition of a USB charging port, which is a welcome feature, and a few revisions around swingarm region. Seat cover, halogen headlights, LED DRLs and other components seem to be carried over.
    Fuel Injector replaces e-Carburettor
    Main change can be seen in 2025 Platina 110’s engine. This engine will now be BS6 P2 OBD-2B emission standard compliant, which is mandated on all vehicles sold in India after April 1st, 2025. To achieve latest and more stringent emission standards, Bajaj has replaced the electronic carburettor with a fuel injector.
    [embedded content]
    With this new fuel injector, we can expect changes in this motorcycle’s performance metrics and fuel efficiency. For context, the electronic carburettor model used to deliver around 8.5 bhp of peak power and 9.81 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 4-speed gearbox. Other than that, there are no other changes and even the fully analog instrument cluster has been carried over. More

    Vida electric scooter is offered in three variants – V2 Lite, V2 Plus and V2 Pro. 2025 Hero Vida V2 lineup now starts from Rs 74,000 for the base V2 Lite, which is Rs 11,000 less when compared to previous prices. That is because Hero has slashed prices of Vida V2 Lite by Rs 11,000, effective immediately.
    Going up the variant range, Vida V2 Plus price has been slashed by up to Rs 15,000. This is the maximum price reduction Hero is offering to Vida V2 lineup. On the other hand, top-spec Hero Vida V2 Pro does not get any price reduction. Instead, it gets a price hike of Rs 4,700, which is now priced at 1,20,300 (ex-sh).
