Classic Legends Pvt. Ltd., part of the Mahindra Group, has shared a block your date invite with the media confirming the resurrection date for the much-awaited Yezdi Motorcycles. The Indian manufacturer will revive Yezdi on January 13, 2022, and the company is expected to launch at least three new motorcycles under the storied brand. The company has been teasing Yezdi's return for the past couple of weeks and the line-up is likely to include an adventure, scrambler and a roadster motorcycle. More details on the pricing, specifications, and availability will be uncovered next month.

Recent images of Yezdi Motorcycles during a TVC shoot also confirmed that the brand's first products will be called the Yezdi Adventure, Yezdi Scrambler, and the Yezdi Roadking. The line-up will take on the offerings from Royal Enfield as well as Honda and Benelli in the segment. The Yezdi range will be sharing its underpinnings with Jawa Motorcycles, also owned by Classic Legends.
The bikes are expected to draw power from the 334 cc single-cylinder motor seen on the Jawa Perak. While details on the power and performance figures are yet to be revealed, they are likely to be identical to the Perak. The Perak develops about 30 bhp and 32.74 Nm of peak torque, while paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The brands could share other cycle parts too in order to maximise economies of scale.

The Yezdi brand will be the third resurrection from Classic Legends after Jawa and more recently BSA. The brand was a creation of Ideal Jawa, owned by the Irani family who sold licensed Jawa motorcycles in India beginning in 1960. The Yezdi brand was introduced in 1973 by the same firm and was based on the Jawa bikes. The name was established by a phonetic transcription of the Czech language. Yezdi essentially translates to "jezdi" or rides in Czech. Yezdis also had a strong repute in the Indian motorsport scene and were preferred bikes for rallying back in the 1980s and 1990s.
