Yezdi Roadster

OVERVIEW & PRICE

Performance and Engine

The Yezdi Roadster is powered by a 334 cc Alpha2 liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine delivering 29.1 PS and 29.6 Nm of torque. Gear-based mapping ensures optimised torque delivery and smooth acceleration in city traffic, with responsive highway performance especially between 4,500 and 6,500 rpm.

It is equipped with a 6-speed gearbox featuring an assist and slipper clutch, ensuring seamless gear transitions for city riding and effortless highway cruising. The sixth gear functions as an overdrive, with a conventional one-down, five-up shift pattern.

You can confidently reach speeds above 120 km/h, making the Roadster an excellent choice for thrill-seekers in this segment. It performs best at 90–100 km/h and has enough power for easy overtaking. While there are some vibrations at high speeds, most riders find this a small price for the excitement the bike delivers.

Mileage and Fuel Efficiency

Benefit from an ARAI-certified mileage of approximately 29.06 km/l, placing the Yezdi Roadster ahead of competitors in the 300-350 cc segment. Its advanced liquid-cooled engine and fuel injection system empower riders to achieve exceptional fuel efficiency without compromise.

Riders often report getting 30 to 31 km/l in real-world conditions, sometimes even better than the official numbers. This strong fuel efficiency makes the Roadster a reliable choice for both daily commutes and longer trips.

Handling

The handling of the Yezdi Roadster is significantly refined for Indian conditions thanks to a combination of a stiffer frame, upgraded suspension setup, and improved tyre grip. The bike features 41mm telescopic forks at the front with 135mm of travel, and twin rear shocks with 106mm of travel, providing a firm yet compliant ride. This setup strikes a balance between comfort and control, enabling the bike to remain composed on both highways and twisty backroads.

The steel-braced MRF tyres provide good traction during cornering and braking. At the same time, the dual-channel ABS, paired with a 320mm front and 240mm rear disc brake combo, ensures confident stopping power on various road surfaces. Although the longer wheelbase and 18-inch front wheel sacrifice some flickability in tight urban traffic, the Roadster excels in stability and composure, especially on open roads.

Comfort

Embrace comfort on every ride. The Yezdi Roadster’s upright posture is engineered for Indian roads, making every commute or long-distance tour enjoyable. Sink into the spacious, well-cushioned split seat, and feel fatigue melt away as wide, flat handlebars offer relaxed control for all-day riding pleasure.

While the suspension is firm to enhance handling, it is by no means harsh, efficiently absorbing most potholes and road undulations without excessive jolts. Some users have noted that the rear suspension feels slightly bouncy at low speeds, suggesting that the damping could be further tuned for improved smoothness in stop-and-go traffic. Overall, the ride quality is described as taut but comfortable, complementing the bike’s confident dynamics.

Build Quality

The Yezdi Roadster boasts a reinforced, durable frame that strikes a balance between classic retro flair and sturdiness. Enhanced chassis and subframe strength improve both structural integrity and riding stability.

High-quality materials and smart engineering combine to create a bike that feels robust without being excessively heavy, with attention to detail evident in the finish and the precise fitment of panels, decals, and components. The updated wider rear fender, side arm rear hugger, and wider 150-section rear tyre add both to its rugged stance and functional resilience on Indian roads.

Styling

The Yezdi Roadster blends the brand’s hallmark retro styling with contemporary enhancements that sharpen its muscular stance. A stretched, low-slung profile, wide handlebars, sculpted fuel tank, and bobber-style rear craft a commanding silhouette. Subtle chrome accents and new decals intensify its classic character.

LED lighting for the headlamp, tail lamp, and multi-functional blinkers provides modernity without compromising the retro character. The wider 150-section rear tyre, side arm rear hugger, and wider rear fender add visual bulk and a rugged look, perfectly blending vintage aesthetics with modern robustness.
