Yezdi has made its Adventure more tech-savvy for 2025 with traction control as standard. While the overall silhouette remains unchanged, the bike gets a redesigned headlight and new colour options. These changes aim to keep the Yezdi Adventure competitive in the growing mid-size adventure segment. To find out where the all-new Yezdi stands, we compare the 2025 Adventure with its closest rival, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450.
Both bikes are built for long-distance touring and off-road exploration, but which one delivers better value on paper? We break down their features, performance, and tech to help you decide.
The bike has received some exciting cosmetic updates, with the most notable being the new asymmetric LED headlight replacing the previous round headlamp. The front beak is now taller, featuring a rally-style design, and the windscreen is adjustable. Other enhancements include a standard bash plate for added underbody protection, revised seat cushioning for improved rider comfort, and sleek dual-LED taillights that complete the refreshed design.
