Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles is gearing up for an exciting double launch in India on 12 August, where it is expected to introduce two new motorcycles to the market. These upcoming models are likely to be the Yezdi Scrambler and the Yezdi Roadster, both of which were recently spotted undergoing testing on Indian roads.
The updates arriving with these motorcycles are expected to mirror the changes introduced on the 2025 Yezdi Adventure. This means both the Scrambler and Roadster are likely to feature the updated Alpha 2 engine along with a host of modern features and equipment upgrades. Riders can look forward to technology enhancements such as traction control, multiple ABS modes (depending on the variant), and new paint schemes. Additionally, Yezdi may also explore the option of offering customisation packages through motorcycle-specific accessories, enabling buyers to personalise their rides extensively.

Design Changes and Visual Upgrades
Both motorcycles are expected to receive subtle yet impactful design tweaks aimed at giving them a more distinctive visual identity compared to their predecessors. The 2025 Yezdi Roadster, in particular, is likely to feature LED indicators that also function as taillights, a design choice reminiscent of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450.
From a hardware standpoint, there could be revisions to the suspension setup, including updated rear dampers, aimed at improving comfort, handling, and ride quality. These changes are expected to refine the overall riding experience while retaining the rugged charm that Yezdi bikes are known for.
Powertrain and Performance
As with the Yezdi Adventure, both upcoming models will be powered by the 334cc, liquid-cooled Alpha 2 engine, which delivers 29.6 bhp of maximum power and 29.9 Nm of peak torque. This powertrain will be mated to a six-speed gearbox, promising a balance between performance and highway cruising capabilities.
Variants and Pricing
It is expected that Yezdi will offer both motorcycles in multiple variants, catering to different rider preferences and budgets. Given the updates in engine technology, added features, and possible design enhancements, both the Yezdi Scrambler and Roadster are likely to see a price increase compared to the outgoing versions.
With the launch date just around the corner, anticipation is building among enthusiasts who have been waiting for Yezdi’s refreshed lineup to hit showrooms.
