Yezdi ADV Bike Spotted Again, Bears An Uncanny Resemblance To Royal Enfield Himalayan

- The Yezdi ADV is likely to be launched next year.
- The ergonomics are upright, with slightly rear-set footpegs.
- Gets a larger front spoke wheel and a smaller rear unit for optimum off-road dynamics.
Looks like Yezdi is keen on stealing Royal Enfield’s thunder. In March, the Yezdi Roadking Scrambler was spotted testing for the first time, and things started to get a little more interesting last month as the Roadking was seen testing again, alongside a new adventure bike. This time around, the same ADV has been spotted again, but the latest spy shots give us a clearer view of the front portion of the motorcycle.
A fleeting glance instantly reminds us of the Royal Enfield Himalayan, as the test bike sports the same beak-type front fender, circular headlamp (though it gets an LED headlight unlike the Himalayan’s old-school halogen unit) with a short windshield, and minimal body panels. The headlight, too, has been mounted to the triple clamp unlike the tank brace-mounted one on the Himalayan.
The single-piece handlebar is tall and wide. This, coupled with the split seat setup, offers an upright riding stance. However, the rider’s footpeg is slightly rear-set. We’re yet to see how it would impact stand-up riding as that particular stance will be used by several riders while going off the road. It also gets a pair of saddle stays and a tail rack for better touring capabilities. Geeks will be happy to know that the bike gets a proper full-digital instrument cluster. We wouldn’t be surprised if it came with smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation, as that seems to be the norm for most of the modern two-wheelers nowadays. Moreover, it will be ideal for the Yezdi ADV as it’s meant for touring.

The bike is likely to be powered by the same 293cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine as the Jawa and the Jawa Forty Two. In the retro roadsters, the motor churns out 27.33PS and 27.02Nm. We hope Yezdi tweaks the engine differently to suit the ADV’s demeanour.
The chassis is suspended on a long-travel telescopic front fork (with the test bike sporting a fork gaiter) and a rear monoshock. The upswept exhaust and the high ground clearance should ensure decent water-wading capabilities. Yezdi has also equipped the bike with a larger front spoke wheel (looks like a 21-inch unit), and a smaller one at the rear (likely to be a 17-incher), with disc brakes at both ends.
The bike doesn’t look too far away from production, so expect the bikemaker to launch the adventure tourer early next year. It could be priced at around Rs 1.90 lakh (ex-showroom), and will directly rival the Royal Enfield Himalayan, which retails at Rs 2,10,373 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

It was great experiencing owning this bike. This is an underrated adventure bike. Yezdi service could have been better. But required much maintaining it in good condition. Did not regret buying yezdi Adventure. Company stopped making the colour which is unique (Magnite Maroon). Yezdi Adventure Magnite maroon 2024. Read More
Very good comfortable bike for touring and off-road. Comfortable for city as well. I have driven close to 18000 kms and felt very ease to ride. It's easy to maneuver in the city also mileage compared to other bikes I felt the mileage is accurate. In proper Hyderabad traffic I'm able to get 29-31 and highways it's a book crazy 36. Read More
Well 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
I decided to buy this bike primarily because of the approachable seat height, which was my main priority. Being 5'7 feet, the size and ergonomics are a perfect match for physique. I feel completely in control. Beyond the comfort, I absolutely love the way it looks, man I love the design it is stunning in every angle especially with the updated duel headlamps. On top of that the bike has great features and offers excellent mileage, it is a total package. So far i did 3 rides of around 300 km on this beast and honestly the comfort is excellent. I did not get back ache even once (of course i had no rides longer than 300km). Overtaking long vehicles on highway is easy the power of the bike never disappointed me. Cruising at 110Kmph is smooth, the max i went was 145 but that felt hard on the engine. mileage i am getting is around 40kmpL with a avg speed of 80 kmph. The best part of the ride are the suspension and the headlamps. The High bead throw of the bike is actually far better than the stock headlamps of the bikes in my gang like the TRK 502x, Himalayan 450, GT 650 and the Triumph Speed 400. Suspension of this bike is butter smooth when the road is bad (at least thats what i felt). Speaking of the service the service center guys are very friendly, the service quality is on point. I had a small engine light issue after 1st service but they fixed it in 5 mins and were genuinely interested in helping. Everything running smooth now. The bike also has 3 riding modes road, Off road, and rain. and they do work actually. Once i drove my bike in very heavy rain with a pillion the breaking of the bike was Great even in the heavy rain and slippery roads (had the riding mode in rain) with the regular road mode also the breaking was excellent with the Bybre braking system and the duel channel ABS i feel much confident while breaking and riding at higher speeds. I did not get the chance to do much of off roading so do not have much idea about the off road riding mode. I will definitely recommend this bike. The biggest plus point is the seat the 815mm seat height it makes the bike more accessible for wider range of riders including the once who are not very tall like me. The best part is they managed this seat height without sacrificing the ground clearance. It feels a little bit top heavy but the weight is still very manageable, so this bike is a really great option for beginners too. In this price segment if you want a robust build quality and real off road capability without breaking the bank or losing out features this bike is a excellent option for you.Read More
