2025 Acko Drive Awards: Yezdi Adventure Is The ADV Motorcycle Of The Year

2024 was a big year for Classic Legends, the brand revamping nearly its entire portfolio. Of which, the Yezdi Adventure finally came good on the promise of delivering a great adventure touring experience. And as a result, it walked away with the award for the ADV Motorcycle of the year.

While it might not look like it, Yezdi has refined, lightened and optimised a lot of the elements from the previous version of the Adventure. Hence, the 334 cc single pot mill is a lot more versatile and vibe free than ever before. The suspension components are now tuned to take in the bumps at normal speeds and not just when gassing your way through fast trails.

Although it doesn’t have quite the finesse of its competitor for the category – the Honda NX500 – it does cost quite a lot less than the Japanese adventure bike. And its previous competitor, the Royal Enfield Himalayan, has outgrown the class and now operates in a different segment altogether. As a result, the Yezdi Adventure lies in a relatively relaxed space where it comes across a great do-it-all, go-everywhere motorcycle.
