2025 Yezdi Roadster
2025 Yezdi Roadster : The Comeback Machine Grows Bolder and Smarter.
The legendary Yezdi Roadster nameplate continues to evolve with the launch of the 2025 Yezdi Roadster, bringing a classic brand into modern times with style, grit, and refined engineering. After making waves with its return in recent years, Yezdi’s Roadster has become a popular choice for riders seeking a blend of retro charm, cruising comfort, and everyday practicality.
The 2025 update is more than just cosmetic — it builds upon feedback from previous versions, offering subtle design enhancements, better engine refinement, and a more rider-centric experience. Let’s dive into what makes the Yezdi Roadster a serious contender in India’s growing mid-capacity cruiser segment.
Design and Styling: Retro Cruiser Vibes, Modern Attitude
The Yezdi Roadster 2025 stays true to its neo-retro DNA, boasting a low-slung stance, muscular fuel tank, minimalistic side panels, and a curved rear fender that gives it a distinctive cruiser silhouette. For 2025, Yezdi has introduced new dual-tone color options, improved paint quality, and blackened-out engine and exhaust components that give it a stealthier, more premium look.
The round LED headlamp and retro-styled tail light continue to emphasize the bike’s vintage character, while bar-end mirrors (in higher variants) and alloy wheels keep it firmly grounded in the 21st century.
A slightly reworked seat offers improved cushioning and stitching, enhancing long-distance ride comfort without compromising the low-slung roadster appeal.
Yezdi Roadster Engine and Performance: Familiar Power, Better Tuned :
The 334cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine returns in the 2025 Yezdi Roadster but with noticeable refinements. The motor still produces around 29.2 PS of power and 28.95 Nm of torque, but with a revised mapping and ECU tuning, it now offers better mid-range grunt and smoother throttle response — perfect for both urban cruising and open highways.
The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox that now features revised gear ratios, especially in the lower gears, allowing for better pickup and fewer gear changes in city conditions. Clutch feel is lighter too, thanks to an updated assist and slipper clutch mechanism, reducing fatigue in stop-go traffic.
Riding Dynamics and Comfort: Made for Indian Roads
The 2025 Yezdi Roadster continues to impress with its dual cradle frame, offering a balanced ride that feels solid at high speeds yet nimble enough in city lanes. Telescopic front forks and gas-filled twin rear shocks offer adequate comfort across a range of surfaces — from smooth tarmac to patched-up rural roads.
The seat height of 790 mm makes it accessible for a wide range of riders, while the wide handlebar and forward-set foot pegs deliver that laid-back cruiser feel. However, cornering clearance remains decent for weekend riders who like to lean just a little into the twisties.
At 184 kg (kerb weight), the Roadster feels manageable, especially considering its solid construction and commanding road presence.
Brakes, Tyres, and Safety
Braking is handled by a 320 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc, now paired with dual-channel ABS as standard. For 2025, Yezdi has worked on better brake feedback and reduced fade, which is noticeable especially during long rides or downhill braking.
It runs on 100/90-18 front and 130/80-17 rear tubeless tyres, offering a fine balance between grip, durability, and comfort. The alloys, besides enhancing looks, also help avoid the tube-related hassles common in older bikes.
Technology and Features
The 2025 Yezdi Roadster isn’t overloaded with tech, but it packs in useful features that enhance the riding experience:
-
All-digital instrument cluster (improved visibility and better contrast in sunlight)
-
Gear position indicator
-
Distance to empty & fuel efficiency readouts
-
LED headlamp and tail light
-
Turn-by-turn navigation (in higher trims via Bluetooth)
Though still not as tech-heavy as some modern rivals like the TVS Ronin or Honda CB350 RS, the Roadster focuses on the essentials.
Mileage and Practicality
Thanks to improved fuel mapping, the Yezdi Roadster now delivers around 30–35 km/l in mixed riding conditions. With a 12.5-litre fuel tank, it easily offers a 300–400 km riding range, making it suitable for weekend getaways or even intercity travel.
It also comes with optional saddlebags and backrest accessories, making it practical for light touring. The low seat, upright posture, and punchy mid-range also make it great for daily commuting, especially for riders who prefer a cruiser style over naked street bikes.
Price and Competition
The 2025 Yezdi Roadster is priced between Rs 2.09 To Rs 2.15 Lakh (ex-showroom) depending on the variant and color option. At this price point, it competes with:
-
Royal Enfield Hunter 350
-
Jawa 42
-
TVS Ronin
-
Honda H’ness CB350
While each rival has its own charm, the Roadster’s balance of classic styling, liquid-cooled power, and refined ride quality give it a unique spot in this competitive segment.
Final Verdict: More Refined, Still Distinctively Yezdi
The Yezdi Roadster 2025 isn’t just a nostalgia trip—it’s a statement of intent. It proves that retro can be practical, powerful, and refined without losing its soul. With improved tuning, better comfort, and rider-centric updates, Yezdi has addressed the shortcomings of previous models and delivered a more mature cruiser.
Whether you’re a returning fan of the Yezdi brand or a new-age rider looking for an accessible yet premium cruiser, the Roadster deserves a test ride. It’s a bike that speaks the language of the open road — in a voice that’s loud, proud, and undeniably Yezdi.
