How does the new Yezdi Adventure 2025 fare in the ADV segment when it comes to its competition? Each motorcycle in the ADV segment promises to handle rough roads well, offer decent power, and come packed with usable tech. But which one actually delivers where it counts?
Has the new Yezdi Adventure 2025 quietly pulled ahead in all the right places? Let’s break it down and see how it stacks up against its segment rivals.

Most competitors fall into two extremes - either underpowered with low torque or slightly bulkier with high heat build-up. But the Alpha 2 engine on the new Yezdi Adventure 2025 finds the right balance. You get enough low-end torque for off-road use, high-speed cruising on highways, and smooth overtakes in city traffic.
2. Suspension & Ride Comfort
Whether you’re dealing with broken tarmac, expressway or trails, your suspension makes or breaks the ride.
-
Yezdi Adventure: Long travel front suspension + 220mm ground clearance
-
Rival 1: Softer front with less travel
-
Rival 2: Stiffer setup, not as forgiving on poor roads
-
Rival 3: Lighter, but gets unsettled on high-speed bumps
The new Yezdi Adventure doesn’t flinch over speed breakers or gravel stretches. The weight balance feels quite sorted too, thanks to the central exhaust. Even over long distances, the upright ergonomics and cushioned saddle make it a fatigue-free experience.
At 815mm, the seat height is factory-set for Indian riders. This means it's neither too high nor too low. Most adventure motorcycles in this space go higher, making them less accessible for many riders. The Yezdi Adventure provides confidence across all surfaces without requiring you to get uncomfortable on the high saddle at traffic signals.
The central exhaust routing adds agility and reduces heat near your legs. That’s something no spec sheet would tell you. However, it ensures great comfort, which you’ll appreciate in slow-moving traffic or during long trail rides. Overall, the new Adventure has a more refined, usable engine with the best combination of torque, cooling, and responsiveness.
3. Features That Actually Matter
You can throw in digital dials and labels, but what’s functional and useful during a ride? Here's a detailed overview on how the Yezdi Adventure 2025 fares against its competitors.

The ride modes in the new Yezdi Adventure are a fantastic feature to have. The throttle response changes subtly between Road, Rain, and Off-road modes, giving you better control based on surface grip. Also, the navigation display built into the console is a big plus when you’re riding solo through unfamiliar routes.
Unlike its rivals, this feature doesn't stop working in case you switch off the phone. The inclusion of USB charging means your devices won’t run out of juice halfway through your ride. In this segment, no other motorcycle offers this level of practical and useful technology.
4. Design That Serves a Purpose
The new Yezdi Adventure easily catches eyeballs through a set of visual updates:
-
New decals + colour options: Stand out while still looking purposeful
-
Rally style beak: For improved off road capabilities on all kinds of terrain
-
Distinctive YEZ branding on rear fender: To declare your commitment to adventure!
-
Segment-first twin headlamps: For better illumination, visibility, and safety
-
New reinforced sump guard: For better protection of engine and other components
Other adventure motorcycles in this range might have the size, but not the same attention to usability. And while some rival designs appear bulkier, they compromise on agility in tighter conditions. The taller stance of the Yezdi Adventure, combined with its ideal proportions, gives it a strong road presence without looking bulky.
5. Ownership Value: Peace of Mind Included
The new Yezdi Adventure 2025 is priced competitively at 2.14 lacs. But price tags alone don’t tell the whole story. What you really want is peace of mind over time. And that's where the robust ownership programme from Yezdi comes into the picture.
Yezdi Ownership Assurance Includes:
-
4 Years Standard Warranty / 50,000 km
-
2 Years Anytime Warranty
-
Roadside Assistance
-
Expanding service network (450 touchpoints)
Most rivals offer shorter warranty periods or add-ons at extra cost. The backup from Mahindra’s service ecosystem means spare parts and trained technicians are easier to access, especially when you’re touring away from home.
6. Real-World Feedback: Everyday + Touring
Let’s talk real-world practicality of the new ADV from Yezdi:
-
Daily Commute: Low-end torque, nimble turning radius, and upright stance make the Yezdi Adventure smooth in city traffic.
-
Weekend Trails: Central weight distribution and switchable ABS offer better control over loose gravel or off-road inclines.
-
Long-Distance Travel: The well-cushioned seat, windscreen, and navigation help you ride longer without frequent breaks.
Some competitors are better for city rides but feel underpowered on highways. Others are too top-heavy for daily use. The Yezdi Adventure hits the sweet spot between both.
Final Takeaway
If you're looking at this segment seriously, ask yourself a few simple questions:
-
Do you want usable power that doesn’t overheat in city traffic?
-
Would a lower seat height help in daily riding or trail hopping?
-
Are you okay compromising on ABS modes or navigation support?
-
Do you value a wide service network and long-term warranty coverage?
If the answers are clear, then the new Yezdi Adventure is exactly what the doctor ordered! It gives you the core strengths of its rivals - power, presence, tech, and comfort- but packages it all into a well-priced, better-designed, fine-tuned machine.
