An Up Close Look At The Yezdi Roadster

Last week Yezdi launched the Roadster in India and here are some interesting facts you should know about it. We’ve also compared it against the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and the result is rather surprising. Now, let’s take a closer look at the most affordable Yezdi through these crisply detailed shots. 

A bit reminiscent of the Jawa 42, the Yezdi Roadster is quite a treat to look at. Its old-school design cues, like the round LED headlight, droplet-shaped fuel tank, scooped seat, bar-end mirrors and the mildly raked-out front end make for a visual treat along with a sense of purpose.

While the Dark variants make for a bit sportier demeanour, the Chrome models make the Roadster look quite laid-back with the tall transparent front visor. 

Similar to the Scrambler and the Adventure, the Roadster too is powered by a Jawa Perak-sourced 334cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor that pumps out 29.7PS and 29Nm. It runs on a different state of tune than its siblings. 

On the features front, apart from the LED illumination, Yezdi has equipped the Roadster with a fully digital LCD console, similar to that on the Scrambler. Sadly, it doesn’t get the handlebar-mounted phone charging unit like the other two. 

The Yezdi Roadster rides on a gaitered telescopic fork and twin gas-charged rear shocks. It gets a 320mm front and a 240mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS. 

You get a 100/90 – 18 front and a 130/80 – 17 rear alloy wrapped in MRF rubber. The Roadster can hold 12.5-litres of fuel and tips the weight scale at 184kg.

Yezdi has priced the Roadster at Rs 1,98,142 (ex-showroom Delhi) onwards for the Dark models and Rs 2,06,142 (ex-showroom Delhi) for the Chrome models. Its only direct rival currently available is the Royal Enfield Meteor 350.
