The iconic Yezdi motorcycle brand has finally been re-introduced in the Indian market. Classic Legends has rolled out three new Yezdi bikes, namely, Adventure, Scrambler and Roadster. Customers can book the models by paying a token amount of Rs 5,000, which is fully refundable. While the Yezdi Adventure has been positioned against the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the Yezdi Roadster takes on the Honda CB350 RS. The Yezdi Scrambler will face challenge from the upcoming Royal Enfield Scram 411.
Yezdi Adventure comes in three paint schemes – Slick Silver, Mambo Black and Ranger Camo – which are priced at Rs 2.09 lakh, Rs 2.11 lakh and Rs 2.18 lakh respectively (all, ex-showroom). It’s the flagship Yezdi bike in the country. The company says that the Adventure has been “designed to fulfil every requirement of a long-distance rider” and carries “serious off-roader” styling, comfortable ergonomics”.
At the heart of the new Yezdi Adventure is a 334cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel injected motor paired to a 6-speed constant mesh transmission. The engine returns a claimed power of 30.2PS at 8,000rpm and 29.9Nm of torque at 6500rpm. It’s said to be tuned for “torque mid-range for trail riding while developing great top end power for high-speed highway cruising”.
The bike sits on an all-new chassis suspended on a monoshock swing arm setup at the rear and long travel telescopic forks. It has front and rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS with three switchable modes – Road, Rain and Off-road. Some of its key features include USB charging capability, Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, speedometer and TFT/LCD display.
The company is offering a range of accessories with the Yezdi Adventure such as a headlamp grille, crash guards, fog lamps, top box, panniers, jerry cans with mounting brackets, knuckle guards and more. The bike comes equipped with 90/90-21” front and 130/80-17” rear tyres. It offers a fuel tank capacity of 15.5 litres.
