Context
Why does it matter?
The Yezdi brand will make its comeback in the Indian market under Classic Legends, the owner of Jawa Motorcycles. Both the Roadking and Adventure models will flaunt a retro-inspired design and might also offer certain tech-based features. The former will go against the Royal Enfield Hunter, while the latter will take on the Himalayan. They will certainly raise the competition in the market.

Yezdi Roadking will be a scrambler, while the Adventure will be an adventure tourer. They will have a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, circular headlight as well as mirrors, and spoked wheels. The Roadking will sport a flat seat with a quilted pattern, a rear tire hugger, and centrally-mounted footpegs. The Adventure will flaunt a windscreen, an underbelly bash plate, split-seats, knuckle guards, and dedicated racks.

The vehicles will flaunt telescopic front forks
To ensure the safety of the rider, Yezdi Roadking and Adventure will be equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS for improved handling on the roads.
