Yezdi 500cc Retro Bike, Royal Enfield Rival, Revealed
Apart from the retro bike, the Yezdi Streetfighter and the Yezdi Adventure Rally Pro factory-modified bikes were also revealed at the dealer event
Yezdi Motorcycles has recently showcased some new Yezdi bikes at a dealer event along with some factory custom motorcycles. In the video, we can clearly see four bikes parked on the stage.
Roadking
The first bike in the video seems to be the Yezdi Roadking 500. Based on the BSA Goldstar’s engine platform, the Roadking 500 is likely to feature a downsized version of the 650cc engine, probably a 450-500cc one. The engine is liquid-cooled as the bike also has a radiator, and the fins on the engine are for a retro look.
Its raked-out front, round LED headlights and indicators, twin-pod console, bench seat, simple side panels, and boxy yet sleek fuel tank, are a tribute to the original Roadking. Moreover, the bike gets a telescopic fork and a monoshock at the rear. It gets disc brakes on both ends, with dual-channel ABS. The bike is fitted with Pirelli Phantom Sportscomp tyres, the front appearing to be 110-section.
The second bike in the video seems to be a preview of a smaller capacity Yezdi Roadking with a 334cc engine. Check out the details of the bike in our previous story here.
Yezdi Custom Streetfighter 334
Then we can spot the factory custom Streetfighter version of the Yezdi Scrambler. The bike features a fresh paint scheme with a 'Streetfighter 334' graphic on the side panels.
The Yezdi Streetfighter shares many components with the stock bike including the 334cc engine, fuel tank and body panels. The Yezdi Streetfighter 334 has a wide handlebar which is now flatter and lower. It also features a USB charging port near the left-side switchgear. The custom Yezdi Streetfighter also gets a ribbed single-piece seat.
It is equipped with a telescopic fork and twin long-travel gas-charged shocks at the rear. The bike gets a pair of recently launched Ceat Crossroad block pattern tyres. The exhaust features heat wrapped header pipes and vertically placed twin endcans.
Yezdi Adventure Rally Pro
Towards the end of the video, we can see the Yezdi Adventure Rally Pro (could be called Yzdi AdvenX), the factory custom version of the Yezdi Adventure. The bike features a new Topographical paint job. It gets a braced handlebar with handguards and premium rear-view mirrors with adjustable stalks.
The Yezdi Adventure Rally Pro features the same switchgear as the stock Yezdi Adventure, whereas the split seats are sleeker than the stock bike. It also gets bungee hooks under the seat. The bike is equipped with spoked wheels with knobby tyres.
While these are the pre-production and factory custom versions, it will be interesting to see what the final production versions would be like. Till then, stay tuned because we will be the first to bring you any news and developments about them.

- Well built machineWell built bike, very good riding posture. Upright and stable handling. This bike is very comfortable for long distance touring. 500 km in a day is very easy. No fatigue or tiredness whatsoever. In the city the torque helps pull ahead. The size of the bike is bit tricky to manage in traffic but overall fine motorcycle.Read More
