On the path of revival is one of the most iconic names in motorcycles – Yezdi. Come January 13, 2021, three Yezdi motorcycles are expected to be launched by Mahindra Group-owned Classic Legends. The line-up is likely to include Yezdi Roadking, Yezdi Adventure and Yezdi Scrambler.
The Yezdi Adventure, as its name suggests, will be an adventure-touring motorcycle that will take on the Royal Enfield Himalayan. It is likely to get the Jawa Perak’s 334cc engine, given that Classic Legends owns both brands. The Roadking is a roadster that is expected to use the same engine as the Yezdi Adventure. On the Jawa, the engine makes 30.64hp and 32.74Nm of peak torque but the outputs could be different on the Yezdi motorcycles. The Roadking is set to go head to head with the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and the Classic 350.
Yezdi was a brand that was sold in India in the 1960s and it remained in production until 1996. It was immensely popular among enthusiasts and was the desired name in that period.
