Calling all motorcycle enthusiasts! Get ready to rev your engines because Yezdi might be about to drop a brand new motorcycle, and it looks like a serious contender in the modern-retro roadster segment. While details are still under wraps, a leaked video has sparked a frenzy of speculation, and we’re here to dissect every juicy detail we can glean.
A Modern Twist on a Classic Legacy
The leaked footage showcases a stunning motorcycle that embraces the modern-retro design philosophy. The fuel tank, reminiscent of the Yezdi Adventure with a signature angular Yezdi touch, hints at a potential new design language. A classic round headlamp complements the clean instrument cluster, likely featuring a combination of analog dials and subtle digital displays. The single-piece flat seat and extended rear fender create a sleek and purposeful stance.
Road-Ready with a Hint of Scrambler Spirit
This motorcycle seems tailor-made for carving up tarmac. Alloy wheels wrapped in retro-styled Pirelli Phantom Sportscomp tyres scream road performance, while the low front mudguard reinforces its street-biased intentions. Interestingly, the engine features a single exhaust on the right side, unlike the Yezdi Scrambler’s dual pipes. This could hint at a configuration based on the liquid-cooled, 334cc unit powering the Yezdi Adventure.
Filling the Roadster Void: A Potential Road King Revival?
With a conventional modern-retro roadster missing from Yezdi’s current lineup, this new motorcycle perfectly bridges that gap. The possibility of it carrying the legendary Yezdi Road King name adds another layer of excitement. While no branding was visible in the video, reviving this iconic moniker would be a stroke of marketing genius.
Competition Heats Up: Taking on the Royal Enfield Hunter 350
This upcoming Yezdi machine has all the makings of a worthy rival to the popular Royal Enfield Hunter 350. However, keeping the price as competitive as the Hunter’s (around Rs 1.50 lakh-1.75 lakh ex-showroom) might be a challenge. We expect the Yezdi to fall in the Rs 2 lakh or slightly above price bracket.
More in the Pipeline: Updated Scrambler and Roadster on the Cards?
Eagle-eyed viewers might have spotted glimpses of two other intriguing motorcycles in the background of the leaked video. One appears to be a revamped Yezdi Scrambler featuring spoked wheels, a stacked double exhaust, and a new boxy fuel tank that stays true to Yezdi’s design heritage. The other hints at a potential refresh of the Yezdi Roadster, Yezdi’s answer to the Royal Enfield Meteor. This glimpse suggests a possible shift from the current single-pod instrument console to a dual-pod setup.
The Road Ahead: Speculation and Excitement
While the official unveiling is yet to happen, the leaked video has ignited a firestorm of excitement among motorcycle enthusiasts. The potential arrival of a new Yezdi roadster, coupled with the possibility of updated Scrambler and Roadster models, injects a dose of fresh energy into the Indian motorcycle market. With its modern-retro design, powerful engine, and competitive pricing (hopefully!), this new Yezdi motorcycle has the potential to be a game-changer. We eagerly await Yezdi’s official announcement to get all the juicy details and see if this mystery machine lives up to the hype.
