Yezdi Roadster — Overview
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 allYezdi 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.
