2022 Yezdi Adventure | First Ride Review | PowerDrift

Looks like Yezdi wants a piece of the adventure pie by bringing in the Yezdi Adventure. Yes, it might look similar to the Royal Enfield Himalayan but the specs are completely different on paper. How much adventure does the Yezdi have? Here's Shumi and Varun Painter's first ride review and conclusion.

So the stiff suspension of the ktm adventures make them a joy in a corners but a similar stiff suspension in yezdi makes it a deal breaker. The low end torque or the lack of it in the ktms make the bike more engaging and fun to ride but the same thing in yezdis is the deal breaker? Double standards, eh?

Compared to KTMs, there Yezdi's are too soft. They don't have the performance to make use of the stuff setting, and they're not comfortable enough to compete against plusher bikes. My brother, learn nuance. It will save your life

[@bharathbhuvan570]

Completely looks like a pro- Himalayan review. Infact, the worst of powerdrift ever. I rode both, yezdi adv is way ahead of Himalayan. Vibes creep only after 6000 rpm. That is expected but by this time, we will be in 125kmph already. What more we need to cruise comfortably at 110-120kmph on highways. If we are going faster than that, is it really safe? Upto the rider whether to waste his life on highways.

[@HELMETDUDE]

Setting a benchmark? This is the first version, compare it with the first version of Himalaya. It's still way better, modern approach and value for money product where it can do all terrains. Talking about anti yezdi, you just said it is by giving an excuse. Bhai gazab ki analogy hai aapki, ranveer itna pasand hai? You can do better my brother!

[@SINGERAYAAN]

[@VinesnVandies]

Me too bro, booked and totally fell for it

[@abinash8957]

Is front frame compulsory?

[@aamir.khan.1991]

I am confused (again). Isn't meeting the benchmark a good thing? The Himalayan 450 is still a long way away so if the Himalayan 411 is assumed to be the top adv, and even if we assume yezdi misses the mark by just a small margin, it is makes it the second best motorcycle overall right at launch. With room for improvement. Let's not forget how well Himalayan stuck it's landing (from breaking footpegs to completely breaking into two) in its initial phase. Till now, the yezdi adventure hasn't exactly done something absolutely wrong. And then there is this extremely contrasting view about not doing things differently. That point was pressed upon quite a bit, but then there is quite a bit of difference in approach. And I'll directly say what was mentioned in the video that the Yezdi matches or betters the Himalayan on (with how i interpreted it and I am welcome to be pointed as wrong) . The engine is more modern and has a nice linear power delivery. Cruises well @100kmph. The instruments are modern and adequate (definitely better than on the Himalayan and will hopefully work for more than 15 months which is the average lifespan of the Himalayan console) . The brakes are adequate (very likely to be better in comparison) . Has off road ABS. Definitely a much better and fun to use gearbox.. LED lights all around. The suspension is comparatively less pliant but not a bad unit. It will hustle all the way to the redline better than the Himalayan 411. So, it is a direct competitor to the Himalayan which gets a lot of things right, betters a few things and doesn't charge a penny extra for it. And yet, the approach to the video is that of sinking disappointment. Shumi had a significantly more gentle approach while talking about the benelli trk251. The Honda highness wasn't taken apart in this manner when it was launched. Yeah, even i expected a lot more from the yezdi but what's up with these strong negative vibes? It is not at all a bad motorcycle. But the message that comes across is, don't buy it. I am not an offroader or a scrambler. And this coming from a guy who is nowhere near wanting to own an adv. I really am confused.

[@satishjoseph]

Can't believe you liked that gearbox. The bike just wouldn't pull in higher gears..I mean like at 30 km/hr in 3rd..have to lower the gears so frequently in traffic. Maybe on the highway it won't be an issue as gear changes will be minimal..but a strict no as a daily commuting bike. And not all of us have a garage big enough to have many bikes to serve different purposes. We need something that can do it all.

[@JC-nx5xx]

Very well written.... But feel somewhere shumi is right.. Yezdi missed an opportunity to be a leader in setting benchmark rather than being a follower. Adventure bikes need to have higher low-end torque but yezdi misses due it's DOHC config. Console is definitely looks aftermarket and could have easily made it look premium and elegant. Suspension might be tuned to softer side. Himalayan engine is a long stroke engine where yezdi can't match in torque spread. Being a modern engine, Yezdi adv is actually slower than the Himalayan in 60 to 100kmph shift which is definitely not acceptable being a DOHC engine.

[@aamir.khan.1991]

@@satishjoseph I am someone who likes the bike to be engaging. And as i very clearly mentioned, powerdrift said it is a good gearbox. I just agreed. The engine might not be torque oriented but it compensates more than enough by having a gearbox that has a nice throw and good tactile feel to it. If i were omeone who didn't enjoy changing gears, i would have went for a gearless scooter. I really love it when I have to down shift and rev match while braking on my rc390. But that's not the point. The point is that adventure is quite a different bike Himalayan has an agricultural machine gearbox but better low end pull. Adventure isn't that strong (not exactly a slouch either) but has a fun to use gearbox which a lot of riders will enjoy.

[@aamir.khan.1991]

@@JC-nx5xx yes. It is slightly slower for in gear acceleration. But better at 0-60,0-100, higher top speed, etc. And with an engaging gearbox, would you really mind dropping a couple of gears and then out accelerate the Himalayan? I know i wouldn't. Console isn't exactly to my liking either. But gets the job done. No issues with visibility in direct sunlight, and has all basic info. If the yezdi Bluetooth module works, it'll be most definitely better than the very messy Himalayan console. It's a pain to locate the needles on that thing. Again, I agree, a better suspension and maybe better tuning.. Yezdi didn't hit the nail on its head. But is it really that bad a motorcycle? I agree with the quoted negatives. But is it enough to make it a motorcycle to avoid buying? As I said, i am not an adv person, but if i were to ever consider, the yezdi seems a significantly better fit for me. The review really does not feel that way. Too strict. I would really like to see how yezdi grows from here.

[@PD-dj7cu]

@@JC-nx5xx stick to an automatic scooter if you are too sissy about slotting into right gear for the right speed. Jesus, people want to drive big ADVs and go on Himalayan tours but can't be arsed to drop a gear lmao!!

[@biswaswaroopdas1028]

I picked Xpulse 2004v over both Yezdi Adventure and Himalayan . Yezdi's suspension is very stiff after I rode it after Xpulse. And though Himalayan's suspension is pretty good I would still stick with Xpulse given it's light weight and the fun you have while you ride. Plus almost a lakh rupees cheaper.

I love my Xpulse. I had done an east coast ride from Kerala recently and the one and only thing where Xpulse missed out was on highways which is very important when you do a 10K+ road trip. So, in my personal opinion, overall Xpulse is probably not comparable to these other 2 adventure bikes in that aspect. Anyways, enjoy your new Xpulse!!

I have always been a fan of powerdrift bike reviews as they are very detailed, but gotta ask this when RE last year launched classic 350 with same looks as previous version and very minor changes barring the j series engine you were totally fine with it whereas you are complaining about Yezdi not setting benchmark feels weird.....

[@suryavalluri3894]

If re changes the classic it wouldn't sell so re couldn't and yezdi being a net brand should be making a bike with its own identity rather than a slight improvement over a bike which is extremely old and I'm not a fan of royal Enfields classic i actually think the old classic 350 was one of the most dull bike i ever rode but re can't take a chance there renaming a new bike classic is always going be considered sacrilege but yezdi never made an adventure before is someone wants to go on touring they have a adventure 250 if main focus is off-road then they have a established himalayan and a more fun xpulse where does the yezdi adventure stand it's better on road than himalayan and obviously below ktms where as off-road it's softer than ktm but harder than the rest when this happens it just becomes a bike which stays in the middle like the Gixxer 250/ pulsar 250 it might sell due to it being a middle ground but it will not impress as it has nothing ground breaking going for it when compared to the competition

[@cospinkristijan2267]

Becos now it's a Royal drift not powerdrift 😀

[@deepjyotiofficial6242]

Classic 350 being the benchmark doesn't need any major look change but the engline replacement was needed really long ago. The vibrations it produced were really annoying. But yezdi bringing a new bike could have made it different looking maybe if it had a beak in the front and looked like a mix of g310gs and Himalayan than no one could have complained. In short " Don't fix if ain't broke".

i was a yezdi guy from mid 90's to about 2005 long after it was discontinued. i used to do 300 kms long highway ride from my college to my home town and back every week ( that made it 600 kms) . how it performed on the highway (the way they were back then) doing 80 to 90 km/hr was a bliss. It was so relaxed at those speeds, that slow reeving long stroke 2 stroke engine was made for highway touring . It felt as if it would do those speeds not just all day long but all your life the feeling was so reassuring and bullet proof but now they have an engine that is short stroke eventually high reeving which is just opposite to the actual brand heritage and a classic bike feel..

No hate to any one but I'll be totally honest. This bike does look like Himalayan and its not a bad thing.

On the roads, people will still call it a Himalayan wannabe or ripoff. Not impressed, Yezdi.

The styling is pretty much in line with all old time adventure bikes, both the yezdi and the himalayan are trying to capture that essence. The yezdi's tank design however is very reminiscent of the old yezdi roadking, same for the engine block, and that's one way it sets itself apart.

Very apt review. I currently own BS3 Himalayan and am looking for upgrade. But BS6 Himalayan offers just ABS but has more weight and less power so selling my BS3 and getting BS6 doesn't feel like upgrading. So I was eager to see Yezdi adventure. But as Schumi said, I will still be trading off amazing suspension for marginal gain in power and few creature comforts. What setting new benchmark is can be explained by, I am more leaning towards Xpulse 200 4v. Sure it makes less torque and power. But it makes more milage, has ABS. Also it's light-weight and cheap. That's the benchmark it sets which Himalayan can not beat. I have decided not to sell my BS3 just yet and wait another year for Honda CRF300 rally, but my friends Xpulse 200 4v seriously checked my resolve than Yezdi Adventure.

My bubble, which is that PD is completely sincere, has burst. But that's ok because nothing lasts forever. Right? To trash a brand (because of whatever reason) at the expense of one's credibility is not the wisest thing. People are not naive. The way I see it, how the Yezdi Adventure--by virtue of being itself--kind of allows you very little success despite all your effort to nitpick speaks louder than anything. Out of good faith I simply hope you guys avoid reviewing products from this brand altogether. It is your ACHILLES' HEEL. 🙏

[@gaurav.anirbandutta]

If they don't review, that'll look even more fishy. Like they don't review the Mahindra Mojo anymore. The picture is loud and clear on what their stance on Mahindra/Jawa/Yezdi/Classic Legends products is.

[@supratimdey1230]

Hiiiii PowerDrift........ Appreciate your efforts!!!!!!!!! 🏍️💥🏍️

[@kshitij2454]

Read this comment for spoilers. In my test ride comparison. Himalyan feels way heavier than this yezdi adventure. And maybe I have a thing for stiff suspention as well. 😁

[@NSKeditz.official]

Most underrated raveer singh joke I came across

[@vroombk]

😂😂😂

[@aghoshdev3213]

Royal Enfield is sponsoring powerdrift or what 🤔

[@raiinwalis5577]

as a Himalayan owner I'd recommend people to go for xpulse rather than the yezdi.

[@jamalgota895]

mmm interesting....

[@rickykahlon8321]

Guys Now wait for Yezdi Roadster review again the great show will prove its loyalty for re ... it's just fun to watch the act

[@rajatghosh6613]

I think you guys should set up a consultancy where you can test ride a vehicle before it is launched and Shumi should be heading it up. It allows us to have more refined product as we get what the bike is supposed to be and as old as time can be Shumi brings a level of refinement which Yezdi misses.

[@techcrosspoint9821]

Why not appreciate what we got seeing the segment and competition at that price point? Most importantly 6 gears over 5 of Himalayan...

[@sarfrasnasim9112]

Eagerly waiting for the comparison video

[@jairajnisal1911]

Eagerly waiting for roadster vs meteor comparison

[@theindianthing1]

Why are you guys acting salty??just because yezdi did not give you a test bike? Seriously guys i expected better from you. All you talk about is negatives..and act like Himalayan is so perfect 😂😂😂

[@meninodsouza6538]

That ending or should I say sequel to the next video was 🔥

[@automotriztechnica]

Himalayan chassis in design perspective when you compare mechanical stress on the box cross section frame is a biggest deal breaker to me. Stresses are maxed out at corners of a box frame. In design engineering, Yezdi Adv excels and is far better then Himalayan. Any Royal Mech Engineering personal will say it on the spot, unbiased whereas if you ask any economists, short term riders they will say Himalayan is a benchmark only on money match.

[@gaurav.anirbandutta]

Review Mafia can't mention that. They're tight lipped on the shortcomings of the RE

[@nagasatish7280]

@powerdrift, can you make a video on selecting the right gear for long distance touring. Or atleast can you make a video on the best budget gear available in the market.

[@salimshah8089]

HD is the good bike

[@Raajsingh90400]

Fell in love with Adventure!

[@preethamreddy9533]

I really had great respect to you guys until now for your honest and proper reviews , even the splendor doesn't feel as bad as you are showcasing this bike in the vedio , and the thing that u are focusing more on negatives than the bike it self pisses me off !!

[@keshavpandey6417]

Love the concept and delivery of video... 👌👌👌

[@rushikeshgaikwad6411]

When the yezdi rodster is coming.???

[@omkarpotadar6464]

Liked the last part🔥✌️👏... These kinda videos are more informative than watching riding machines😀

[@athullal7438]

If the suspension ain't that good what's the entire point considering its an ADV?

[@souvikbagchi1442]

i owned himalayan 2years back,now i have yezdi adventure...trust me guys yezdi adventure is far better than himalayan..in case of power,handling,instrument console,gear numbers,cooling system,full led setup,sitting position,mid end power,top end power just awesome than himalayan...PD guys please dont do this,dont gave us false review...please accept it yezdi adv is far far better than re himalayan

[@kimphilbi9109]

Thanks, it's a time when customers need to stand up against fake reviews.

[@rashsoni7262]

Now that what an experienced ride reviews a bike, not like every other influencer just bragging good points about a bike which is given to them by the company or the showroom, here we get to learn what experts have to say, be it good or bad. Every machi has its Pros and Cons we just have to choose our poison, thats it

[@sbinay7556]

I just don't understand why you guys didn't criticize Bajaj for N250 and F250 in this way. Instead you justified them as if it was a great product. Bajaj failed to deliver what the fans wanted but you guys didn't had a problem with it.

[@anchalsingh7996]

Going with Yezdi now!

[@Maseeha171]

Yea did nobody ask the question that can it offroad? The Himalayan may be the benchmark and what not but it can't really go off the asphalt that good. Chassis isn't that sturdy, power, it's just too heavy? Also the USB is better off like that where it might not look as good but the placing makes it splash proof and more sturdy imo.

[@avaneeshsharma8788]

Himalayan has already proved what it is made of..let the yezdi prove too👍this is what happens when you honestly review a motorcycle..lots of criticism in comments section for giving a genuine feedback on a motorcycle..you expect a honest review and when powerdrift does that,they are "anti yezdi" or "bribed from RE"😂 no biker buys a motorcycle just by watching some KZbin reviews.. do you people at least know how to ride a motorcycle? So one minute silence for the guys who criticized pd for projecting their perspective on a motorcycle 🔥grow up for heaven's sake guys

[@easternprestige]

Wish Varun alone had been on this video. Would have watched it just for him. Shumi is like that cry baby who ruins the long legged flights! Sighh!

[@rudy199x]

Love the review been waiting for this,and love Varun's swat cats hoodie too ❤️

[@kushveersingh4908]

2M+ on that box !! Really thoughtful and creative 👍

[@mandalorian1992]

Waited too long for this!! No review or perception seems complete without Shumi's validation!

[@gagan7476]

We'll be waiting the For the comparison ❤️❤️🔥🔥

[@Azhar-acchu]

So you are not satisfied with anything for a product priced lesser than Himalayan?? C'm on bro. Don't be anti yezdi'ian. We feel except heating, This is a better motorcycle in its price segment

[@gaurav.anirbandutta]

It is what it is.

[@palashswarnakar7392]

compare video with Himalayan please 🙏

[@powerdriftofficial]

Happening soon!

[@janemariemenezes2612]

I really appreciate the love you show to each other.

[@Shaival24]

Review was good, just like sensie shoomi and vpainter always give. But loved the music.

[@AnshumaanBakshi]

Nothings clear, but music was great, waiting for part 2

[@ankurbagai1056]

Yezdi Scrambler, Roadster and Adv. missed out huge on what they could've done, similar to Jawa. They tried to benchmark/copy RE which is the highest standard in Indian Market with riders swearing upon their RE more than even the Harley Davidsons at times, at the price and market cap thatt RE does, it should've been something new. Something different which could replicate the Yezdi DNA from 1990s while sticking to the new standards and set new benchmarks. In this regard, Honda with 350 Highness or Benelli with Imperale 400 in the cruiser category while Husqvarna or KTM Adv. in their adventure line-up have done so incredibly either with comfort or looks or price or power, Yezdi seems like a cheap copy of RE bikes. I love how they tried brining in Scrambler in the mix which was missing in under 5 lakh mark but that doesn't help either. You rather take a RE and get it modified, and it'll still run better. With the news of upcoming Himalyan 450 and 650, RE Scram, and RE Shotgun... They're beyond that 350-500cc mark, and now getting into fght with Harley Davidson while sticking to their roots and affordability. Not to forget that both Harley Davidson and Norton are trying to find a manufacturer/collaborator to bring in sub-500cc bikes under 3 lakh range somewhere by early 2023 which will open some more competition on both higher end of above 600cc end as well as starter end of sub 500cc.

[@alokghosh4756]

Shumi, Varun .....great insight for the machine.... N while u both are having fun with the machines..... would really love if the pd team can do videos for bikes that are not available in our market for us to see what we miss out.....

[@saurav5233]

We need a 500 + cc Africa twin from an Indian stable...since the ADV segment is gaining momentum here in the country, i think its time now.

[@deceivingrakesh]

Doesn't liquid cooled engine mean nothing :-D

[@HEIST_IS_LIVE]

Please do the review of Yezdi Roadster too. After your review we can decide to buy or not

[@harshadwadekar9521]

Jab tak PowerDrift ka video na Dekho tab tak bike review complete nahi hota ❤️

[@akashpandey02]

Amazing bike🔥

[@muddiraj07]

I liked the casual nature of this video , u know without the forced lame jokes. I wish you guys would do this more often.

[@nathansugumar5175]

Compare to Yezdi scrambler review its way better than that. Very Neat and professional review from PD teams. Congrats

[@jashn1703]

Hey why you not considering ktm adventure 250 in this, same power, less weight. Also the price is nearby now after the price cut.

[@triz7598]

The Swat Kats hoodie

[@akshayl5363]

So now the wait is for the next video... An off-road/highway review on the scrambler....??

[@ishan_sharma28]

That Swat Cats hoodie though!

[@Rahul75559]

We’ve gotta launch Himalayan 650 asap. - RE owner somewhere
