Classic Legends launched the 2025 Yezdi Adventure yesterday with some notable upgrades over the outgoing model. The Yezdi Adventure sits right in between the Hero Xpulse 210 and the Royal Enfield Himalayan. The latter is the undisputed benchmark in the entry-level adventure touring space. Let us look at how the Yezdi Adventure fares against the Royal Enfield Himalayan.

2025 Yezdi Adventure vs Royal Enfield Himalayan: Design

In the latest iteration, the Yezdi Adventure gets quite a few cosmetic upgrades over the previous model. The biggest change is the twin-pod circular asymmetric LED headlamp setup which looks familiar to the BMW F 800 GS. The front beak has been redesigned to be taller and adopts a rally-inspired style, while the windscreen now offers adjustability.

Additional updates include a standard bash plate for enhanced underbody protection, improved seat cushioning to boost rider comfort, and sleek dual-LED taillights that accentuate the updated look.

On the other hand, the Royal Enfield Himalayan maintains its rugged, utilitarian character. Its design is more understated, yet it presents a larger presence compared to the KTM 390 ADV. Built with touring in mind, it features a more comfortable seat, an upright riding posture, and integrated provisions for mounting luggage.
