Yezdi Roadster now gets two gloss finish paint schemes paired with an all-black theme

Right from the time Yezdi’s comeback range was being reimagined, Jawa-Yezdi Motorcycles was clear about one thing – to bring back the brand’s true spirit and offer models that embody everything that the brand stood for, and more. The spirit of adventure, unapologetic fun & thrill was aptly personified by three models – The Yezdi Adventure, Scrambler & Roadster. 

A uniquely styled motorcycle with a perfect blend of classic lines and modern touches, the Yezdi Roadster was introduced with a choice of five matte finished colours spread across dark and chrome themes, accentuating its unique character.

To spice things up, even more, Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles today announced two new colours in the Yezdi Roadster range. Inferno Red and Glacial White are two new colourways that will be available on the Roadster. Both colourways will come with a gloss finish on the fuel tank and a lustrous Obsidian Black theme running across the motorcycle. The two new colours find themselves at the opposite ends of the passion spectrum but remain interlinked in a primordial, raw way to appeal to riders of different personalities.

Imagined in their new avatar, the latest Yezdi Roadster duo are christened as “Fire & Ice”. All set to rule the hearts, these iconic motorcycles are the brand’s homage to these powerful forces of nature and promise a rush of adrenaline inherent to the Roadster. Both motorcycles will be priced at INR 2,01,142 ex-showroom, Delhi. 

Presenting the two new additions to the Roadster family, Ashish Singh Joshi, CEO – Classic Legends, said, “The Yezdi Roadster has been a phenomenal success for us in terms of attracting riders into our Kommuniti. It has been one of our most popular models since its launch and has already given countless adventures and experiences to its riders across the country, staying true to its true-blue Roadster character. The new Inferno Red and Glacial White colours infuse new energy into our Roadster range and will make it stand out even more, attracting more riders into its fold.”  

“What remains unchanged is the ultimate ‘Roadster’ experience that this motorcycle offers. The Yezdi Roadster is the perfect manifestation of a classic ‘Roadster’ motorcycle with its naked, well-proportioned form and a potent engine mounted in a capable chassis to deliver the ultimate rush over city runs or long highways sojourns,” he added.    

On the powertrain front, the Yezdi Roadster comes powered by a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, DOHC single cylinder 334cc engine that delivers peak power of 29.7PS @ 7300rpm & peak torque of 29Nm @ 6500rpm, resulting in gushing performance both in the city and highway. The engine is mated to a six-speed transmission that comes with a standard Assist & Slipper Clutch for smoother shifts. 

The motorcycle rides on a dual cradle chassis, which is tuned to offer great on-road manners and stability on straight line as well as around corners. Braking is handled by a 320mm disc up front and a 240mm disc at the rear armed with dual channel ABS by Continental – a class leading technology that makes the braking experience an absolute joy with an optimum amount of bite via the floating callipers. 

Adding to the Roadster’s street cred are comfortable split seats, a compact headlamp and a tightly packaged engine area to lend solidity to the overall design. Alloy wheels along with chunky tyres, flanked by chopped fenders add to the beefy looks. A digital speedometer with high contrast display offers all vital information to the rider while LED headlamps and turn signals offer better illumination overall. 

Among the three purpose-built models in the Yezdi line-up, the Roadster is a motorcycle that embodies Yezdi’s spirit of thrill, designed to ignite everyday rides with its sheer road presence, muscular demeanour and standout performance. The Roadster carries forward Yezdi’s legacy that made it the motorcycle of choice for circumnavigating the world and partake in transcontinental adventures back in the day. The simplicity, reliability and robustness made it the perfect partner in crime for the daredevil riders of that era. 

The Yezdi Roadster was born with the same soul and has travelled to every challenging destination our country has to offer, including Umling-La, the Thar Desert and unexplored corners of North-East India, thrilling its riders in the same way as its predecessors.
