Yezdi Roadster — Overview

The Yezdi Roadster is a street bike available at a price range of Rs. 1,98,916 - Rs. 2,12,929 in India. It comes in 6 variants and 6 colours. It is powered by a 334 cc BS6 Phase 2B engine and has a user reported mileage of 30 kmpl. With both front and rear disc brakes, the Yezdi Roadster comes with anti-locking braking system. It develops a power output of 28.7 bhp and a torque of 29.62 Nm.

When Yezdi roared back from a 30-year silence in 2022, the Roadster was the model that sparked the most debate. The 2025 version answers every criticism with an updated 'Alpha 2' 334cc liquid-cooled engine making 29.1 PS - outgunning the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 by a solid 9 bhp - paired with an assist-and-slipper clutch, dual riding modes, and a reprofiled seat that touring riders have praised over 280+ km days. Six colour options, six factory custom kits, and a starting price of Rs 1.97 lakh (ex-showroom) complete a package that's hard to ignore under Rs 2.30 lakh on-road in most cities.

Yezdi Roadster Latest Updates

View all

  • Yezdi launched the Roadster Red Wolf special edition on March 3, 2026, at Rs 2,09,950 (ex-showroom Delhi). The variant arrives factory-fitted with a touring windshield, quilted brown leather seat, cushioned pillion backrest, and extensive chrome detailing across the engine covers and exhaust - a first for the Roadster range.

  • Autocar India and Evo India published first-ride reviews of the 2025 Yezdi Roadster, praising the reprofiled seat, improved paint quality, and smoother Alpha 2 engine behaviour at city speeds. Both reviews flagged high-rpm vibrations beyond 5,000 rpm and inconsistent front-brake feel as areas for further improvement.

  • Yezdi Roadster prices were revised down by over Rs 16,000 following a GST reduction on sub-350cc motorcycles in India, with the range now starting at Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) - making it the most affordable it has been since launch.

What We Like

  • Striking neo-retro design - round LED headlamp, teardrop tank, and twin exhausts look properly classic in every colour
  • Updated Alpha 2 engine is noticeably smoother at city speeds, with light clutch action and slick 6-speed shifts
  • Reprofiled seat is touring-ready - riders report no fatigue on 280+ km days
  • Dual riding modes (City/Highway) and 50+ factory accessories offer genuine everyday flexibility

What Could Be Better

  • Vibrations creep into bars and foot-pegs beyond 5,000 rpm - noticeable on expressways and long NH stints
  • Build quality can be inconsistent - inspect welds and trim carefully at delivery
  • Spare parts are patchy outside tier-1 cities, and the front brake has an all-or-nothing feel

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Yezdi Roadster?

The 2025 Yezdi Roadster is the most convincing version Classic Legends has built - better engine, sharper looks, and enough kit to justify its Rs 1.97-2.11 lakh ask. For city riders and weekend tourers within metro reach of a Yezdi dealer, it's a genuine threat to Royal Enfield's dominance in the retro segment. Just inspect the specific unit carefully before delivery, and let the bike settle for 500 km before judging the vibration level.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the ex-showroom price of the Yezdi Roadster in Delhi and Mumbai?▾
The Yezdi Roadster base variant (Shark Skin Blue/Smoke Grey) is priced at Rs 1,96,950 ex-showroom across India. In Delhi, the on-road price works out to approximately Rs 2.29 lakh, while in Mumbai it is approximately Rs 2.35 lakh - differences driven by each state's road tax rate and insurance charges.
QWhat is the real-world mileage of the Yezdi Roadster?▾
The Yezdi Roadster has an ARAI-claimed mileage of 29.06 kmpl. In city riding with frequent stops, owners report 25-27 kmpl; on open highways in Highway riding mode, figures of 28-31 kmpl are achievable. The 12.5-litre tank gives a practical range of approximately 330-360 km per fill.
QWhat is the service cost and interval for the Yezdi Roadster?▾
The Yezdi Roadster's first service is due at 1,000 km and costs approximately Rs 1,500. Subsequent services are due at 6,000 km (~Rs 1,259), 12,000 km (~Rs 2,800), and 18,000 km (~Rs 5,300). Yezdi includes several free services that cover roughly the first two years of ownership.
QWhat is the EMI for the Yezdi Roadster base variant?▾
For the Yezdi Roadster base variant at an on-road price of approximately Rs 2.29 lakh in Delhi, with a 20% down payment and 9% interest over 36 months, the monthly EMI works out to approximately Rs 6,200. Financing is available through Yezdi's partner lenders, HDFC Bank, and Bajaj Finserv at authorised showrooms.
QIs the Yezdi Roadster worth buying in 2025?▾
The 2025 Yezdi Roadster is a strong buy for riders who want retro-roadster styling with modern mechanicals - 29.1 PS, dual-channel ABS, dual riding modes, and an assist-slipper clutch at Rs 1.97-2.11 lakh is genuinely competitive. The main caveats are high-rpm vibrations on highways and a thinner service network outside metros, so it suits urban and semi-urban riders best.
QWhich is better - Yezdi Roadster or Royal Enfield Meteor 350?▾
The Yezdi Roadster wins on outright performance - 29.1 PS versus the Meteor 350's 20.2 bhp - and offers more modern features like dual riding modes and an assist-slipper clutch at a similar price. The Meteor 350 counters with better mileage (~35 kmpl vs 29 kmpl), a vastly larger nationwide service network, and stronger resale value; it remains the safer long-term ownership bet for riders outside metro cities.
QDoes the Yezdi Roadster have an assist-and-slipper clutch?▾
Yes, the 2025 Yezdi Roadster comes with an assist-and-slipper clutch as standard across all six variants. The assist function reduces lever effort for easier city riding, while the slipper mechanism prevents rear-wheel hop during aggressive downshifts - a genuine safety and performance upgrade at this price point.
QDoes the Yezdi Roadster have Bluetooth connectivity?▾
No, the Yezdi Roadster does not offer Bluetooth connectivity or smartphone pairing. The LCD instrument console displays speed, gear position, fuel level, and riding mode, but there is no turn-by-turn navigation or call/music notification support. Riders who need connectivity would need to add a third-party Bluetooth device.
