Here’s a complete round up of Yezdi’s first ever attempt at an adventure bike
After giving us Jawa motorcycles, Classic Legends has managed to breathe life back into yet another defunct classic brand by resurrecting the Yedi moniker in India. This iconic brand of the 70’s and 80’s is here to revisit an old affinity for two-wheeled adventures and spirited riding. However, Yezdi now offers three varieties of motorcycles- The Roadster for the road, the Adventure for off-road and the Scrambler for a bit of both. The Adventure is here to take on the Royal Enfield Himalayan, a motorcycle that has spearheaded the entry-level ADV space in India. On paper, both ADVs have similar hardware and off-road potential, but the Yezdi Adventure with more power has a bit of an edge. But adventures are more than just spec-sheets, hence, can the new Adventure challenge the Himalayan at its own game?

Launch Story
Yezdi made its debut in January 2022. All three variants are powered by the same 334cc engine as seen on the Jawa Perak. Jawa managed to price all three bikes well to compete with the Royal Enfield lineup aggressively. Check it out here.
Likes And Dislikes
The Adventure comes with capable hardware to handle some serious adventure touring. But does it meet the standards already benchmarked by the Himalayan? Know all about them in our likes and dislikes review.

Have a look at how Yezdi's first ADV stacks up when it comes to real-world performance and fuel efficiency. Check out the test results here.
Colours Explained
The Yezdi Adventure is offered in three paint schemes and each one is priced differently. With prices starting at Rs 2,09,900 (ex-showroom Delhi) , have a closer look at all three of them and know which one is our favourite.
Verdict
Yezdi had the aspirations of making the ideal adventure tourer, but unfortunately it has missed the mark. Despite its ADV outfit, it is happiest out on the road than off it. It’s one thing to benchmark the competition and a whole other challenge to make it work. Unfortunately, the Adventure falls short on a few counts.
