Updated Yezdi Adventure launch postponed

A few weeks ago we reported that Classic Legends would launch an updated version of the Yezdi Adventure on 15 May. The company has now communicated that the launch event has been postponed.

1. Launch now expected in early June
2. New Yezdi Adventure will get an updated design

Yezdi Adventure: What happened?

Launch will likely occur during the month of June.

Classic Legends has taken this decision thanks to the recent India-Pakistan conflict. The company’s statement reads, “In view of the current situation and the evolving national context, we believe it is our responsibility to stand with our forces and show solidarity. We have therefore taken the decision to postpone the event out of respect for the prevailing priorities.”

The company went on to state that it will issue a revised timeline once the situation stabilizes. As of now, we understand that a launch in early June is being evaluated.

This launch may come as a surprise as it has been less than a year since Classic Legends launched an updated version of the Yezdi Adventure with an updated engine and some changes to the aesthetics, particularly in respect to the metal crash cage around the fuel tank.  
However, as it turns out, Classic Legends was working on a further design update that couldn’t be completed in time last year which is why another version will be launching soon. 

We have learned that this time around, the bike will get a design change that will be unique in the segment. Mechanically, the Adventure will remain the same with a 334cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces 29.6hp and 29.8Nm of torque. 

The Yezdi Adventure currently costs Rs 2.10 lakh to Rs 2.16 lakh, depending on the colour. The bike occupies a unique spot in the market and is currently priced between the Hero Xpulse 210 and the KTM 250 Adventure.
