    2022 Yezdi Roadking New Motorcycle Teased Officially

    Upcoming Yezdi Roadking 2022 Motorcycle RenderAtleast two new motorcycles under the Yezdi brand have been spied testing – One is Roadking scrambler and other is adventure
    Mahindra owned Classic Legends has been working to revive the defunct brands Yezdi and BSA. The company has already revived the Jawa brand in India back in late 2018 and BSA earlier this month. Initially, there will be two models coming out of the Yezdi lineup- the Roadking scrambler and an adventure bike.
    Both motorcycles are expected to be underpinned by a new architecture accompanied by a higher load-bearing rear subframe and have been spotted on multiple occasions in recent times. The company has been actively testing these bikes ahead of their launch expected to take place in the first half of 2022.
    2022 Yezdi Roadking New Motorcycle Teased
    As seen in earlier spy shots, the Roadking is expected to be a neo-retro scrambler with some classic styling elements. The motorcycle has been spied featuring highlights such as a round headlamp, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, circular rearview mirrors and fork gaiters. The single-piece seat gets a ribbed pattern while the tail section seems upright yet very short.
    The rear fender has no visible extension and flaunts a small LED headlamp while the rear wheel gets a tyre hugger. The bike will feature a twin exhaust setup with short tailpipes and canisters. Take a look at the first official teaser below.

    There’s another one waiting in line ;)?

    Riding ergonomics look fairly comfortable with a tall and wide handlebar and centre-set footpegs. Mechanical components including engine-gearbox assembly, liquid cooling shrouds and suspension units have been blacked out to provide a dual-tone theme to the motorcycle.
    Yezdi Adventure Styling
    Coming to its Adventure sibling, the motorcycle receives some distinct styling highlights which are in line with contemporary modern ADVs. These include a signature beak upfront, a raised tail section, a taller stance and a big windscreen. Unlike the scrambler, the adventure bike boasts of a single-sided upswept exhaust canister and different radiator shrouds in comparison to current Jawa models.
    Expected Specs & Features
    Both motorcycles share the same underpinnings with the frame being suspended on conventional telescopic forks at front and a mono-shock with preload adjustability at rear. However, the Adventure bike is expected to offer more travel than its scrambler sibling. That said, both motorcycles ride on wire-spoked wheels shod with dual-purpose tyres.
    Anchorage will be taken care of by disc brakes on both ends with calipers from ByBre. In terms of features, Yezdi ADV will be equipped with a fully digital instrument console and all-LED illumination including taillight, turn indicators and headlight.
    In all probability, these bikes will be powered by a 334cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor that pumps out 30 bhp and 32.74 Nm of peak torque. This unit will be paired with a six-speed gearbox via a slipper and assist clutch. The powertrain currently features in Jawa Perak and will also be seen propelling the brand’s upcoming cruiser. More

    Yezdi Adventure Testing On Highway At 100 Kmph – Caught By Dominar Rider

    Yezdi Adventure will rival Royal Enfield Himalayan 2022While Yezdi ADV will directly rival Royal Enfield Himalayan, the scrambler will take on upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter
    After successful resurrection of Jawa, Classic Legends is working to revive other iconic brands such as Yezdi and BSA. While Yezdi will be focused on domestic market, BSA will cater exclusively to UK and other European markets. Yezdi range will initially include two bikes, Roadking scrambler and an ADV. These have been spotted quite frequently in production-ready form. Launch can be expected sometime next year.
    Yezdi scrambler and ADV styling
    Both Yezdi bikes have retro styling with features such as round headlamp and spoke wheels. Scrambler model gets some additional retro bits such as round rear-view mirrors. On ADV, rear view mirrors have a contemporary design. Features that are common across both bikes include LED headlamp, sleek cylindrical-shaped LED turn indicators, fork gaiters and knuckle guards.
    Talking about unique aspects of these bikes, Yezdi scrambler has wide, flat handlebar, upswept exhaust, sleek seat design with quilted pattern, and rear type hugger. The bike has short tail section and number plate is mounted on rear tyre hugger. Metallic grab rails can be seen at the rear, which are long enough to support decent sized luggage items.
    Just like Himalayan, Yezdi ADV has a dominating profile. It will be hard to miss on the streets. Latest spy video from Bullet Guru shows the Yezdi adventure testing on highway at speed of over 100 kmph. The video was captured by Bajaj Dominar rider.

    Some key features include secondary raised front fender, a tall windscreen, sculpted fuel tank, full digital instrument console packed in rugged, shockproof casing, and split seats. Handlebar is placed at just the right height, which should ensure optimal control and comfort when negotiating uneven terrain.
    The bike has dedicated racks at both front and rear. Front rack is an integrated unit that also works to protect the fuel tank, radiator and engine. Yezdi ADV has upswept exhaust with the angle of elevation higher than that of its scrambler sibling.
    Engine and specs
    Both Yezdi bikes are expected to share an entirely new platform. There could be some slight variations based on specific design and hardware requirements. It is likely that Yezdi bikes will borrow the engine from Jawa Perak. The 334 cc, liquid cooled, single-cylinder, DOHC motor churns out max power of 30.64 ps and peak torque of 32.74 Nm. It is mated to a 6-speed constant mesh gearbox.
    At the front, both bikes have standard telescopic forks. Yezdi ADV is likely to use 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels. In comparison, its scrambler sibling will have 17-inch units at both ends. The ADV uses knobby dual-purpose tyres whereas the scrambler gets road-biased units. At the rear, ADV has monoshock suspension with preload adjustability. Scrambler is likely to have dual gas-charged suspension setup.
    If Classic Legends has plans to play the volumes game with Royal Enfield, it will have to opt for competitive pricing. If that’s how it turns out to be, Yezdi bikes could be launched in the range of Rs 1.75 lakh to Rs 2.10 lakh. More
