The Updated Yezdi Adventure: Comprehensive Overview and Key Features
The updated Yezdi Adventure has been released, with prices ranging from Rs 2.10 lakh to Rs 2.20 lakh (ex-showroom). While the bike’s core design remains unchanged, it has undergone extensive revisions across nearly all aspects.
334cc Motor Enhancements
The 334cc motor of the Yezdi Adventure has undergone significant internal changes to enhance its performance and reliability. The exhaust header is now centrally routed, and the coolant flow has been optimized. These modifications help improve heat management, ensuring the engine runs cooler and more efficiently. Despite these changes, the updated mill is now rated for 29.6hp and 29.8 Nm of torque, which is 0.7hp less than before, but torque remains the same.
New, Smaller Tank Rails
One of the most noticeable updates is the new, smaller tank rails. The bulky tank rails of the previous bike have been replaced with a sleeker system. Unlike the older model, where the tank rails formed a cage around the tank, the updated bike’s rails are positioned just on either side of the fuel tank. This change not only improves the bike’s aesthetics but also reduces weight.
Weight Reduction
The Yezdi Adventure has seen a significant weight reduction, now tipping the scales at 187kg, which is a whole 11kg less than before. This reduction in weight enhances the bike’s agility and handling, making it more maneuverable and easier to ride, especially in off-road conditions.
Redesigned Bash Plate
The bash plate has also been redesigned and now comes with an integrated sump guard. This redesign provides better protection for the engine and other vital components when riding over rough terrain. The integrated sump guard is a welcome addition for adventure riders who frequently encounter challenging riding conditions.
Color Options and Pricing
The Yezdi Adventure is available in four colors:
- Tornado Black: Rs 2.10 lakh
- Magnite Maroon: Rs 2.13 lakh
- Wolf Grey: Rs 2.16 lakh
- Glacier White: Rs 2.20 lakh
Apart from the Tornado Black, all other color options for the Yezdi Adventure are dual-tone. The starting price of the Yezdi Adventure is now slightly lower, though the top model’s price remains unchanged.
