The India-Pakistan conflict pushed Classic Legends Pvt. Ltd. to postpone the launch of the 2025 Yezdi Adventure. But now, the company has confirmed that the launch of the updated motorcycle has been rescheduled to June 4. Classic Legends had stated at the time that the decision to postpone the launch was done in 'solidarity with the armed forces."
The latest media invite from Jawa-Yezdi hints at a new design detail on the 2025 Adventure. The bike is expected to get a new headlight cluster sporting a completely new design. The Yezdi Adventure was criticised for being a bit too similar to its closest rival, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 411. The bike maker made some changes to the model last year but the new headlamp unit should help the bike get an identity of its own.

We can expect revisions to the fuel tank styling, side panels, and tail section, in an aim to bring a more impactful design over the older model. Yezdi is also expected to update the electronics package as part of the latest set of changes, likely with features like switchable traction control and ABS.
Power will come from the same 334 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine on the new Yezdi Adventure. The engine will be updated to meet the latest OBD-2B emission regulations. The Alpha2 motor was introduced last year with key upgrades while pushing out 29.2 bhp and 29.8 Nm of peak torque. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. Other mechanical bits including the telescopic front forks, a monoshock at the rear, and disc brakes on both ends will be carried over.

Speaking at the recent launch of the CLE 53 AMG – a 449hp, straight-six petrol-powered sports coupè that's the 10th AMG model in the brand's India line-up – Iyer attributed the steady Y-o-Y growth of EVs to multiple reasons, including the availability of a wider range of models, and the expansion of retail touch points across the country. 'Today, only 30% of India's customer touch points sell EVs in any form. And that growth has happened from 10% so there are more customers who are educated about EVs now, and that's driving growth".

Classic Legends may launch electric bike in UK first, IPO in 12–18 months

Classic Legends, the Mahindra-backed venture that has resurrected heritage brands like Jawa , Yezdi and BSA , is preparing for its next big leap, an electric motorcycle. The machine is already ready, but the company has chosen not to launch it yet. For co-founder and managing director Anupam Thareja, the logic is clear. Building a credible mid-market global motorcycle brand means getting the timing right rather than rushing into a crowded EV space, a report by PTI stated. Classic Legends, backed by Mahindra, is preparing for a public listing within 12–18 months while holding back its electric motorcycle launch until market conditions improve. The EV, developed in the UK, is expected to debut there before arriving in India. Classic Legends has positioned itself as more than just a retro motorcycle maker. By reviving legacy brands in both India and the UK, it is attempting to create a global story that blends nostalgia with modern mobility trends. IPO on the horizon While the electric bike waits in the wings, the company is also preparing for a public listing. Thareja indicated that a stock market debut within the next 12 to 18 months is very likely. Interestingly, Classic Legends does not have an urgent need to raise funds. With ₹875 crore already in reserves, the IPO is more about structure and scale than about short-term liquidity. 'We are creating a global company," Thareja said, signalling the intent to align capital with long-term ambitions. Also Read : Classic Legends to rev up exports, accelerate domestic network expansion EVs: ready but waiting On the product front, the electric motorcycle has already been developed at the company's Coventry-based R&D hub in the UK. Supported by a 50 per cent government grant, the facility has become central to Classic Legends' EV strategy. Yet the bike will not be rushed into showrooms. Thareja believes scooters will drive the first wave of EV adoption, followed by commuter motorcycles, while premium classics will be among the last to shift. The reasoning is pragmatic. Long-range motorcycles require larger battery packs that remain expensive. Charging infrastructure is still limited and financing for electric two-wheelers is not yet widespread. All of these factors combine to make a premium electric motorcycle a product slightly ahead of its time. UK first, India later Given the current environment, the UK is likely to be the first market where Classic Legends' electric bike will debut. India, despite being the home base for Jawa and Yezdi, may have to wait until infrastructure and consumer appetite for electric classics improve. Also watch: The 2025 Yezdi Adventure is here with new looks and features. This is what the exhaust sounds like Balancing audacity with patience Classic Legends has shown boldness before, such as bringing back BSA in the UK before entering India. Yet on electrification, the company is exercising restraint. For Thareja, the strategy is about aligning audacity with patience. The goal is to ensure that when the brand finally goes electric, it does so on the right terms and at the right time. Check out Upcoming EV Bikes in India. First Published Date:
