Both the Streetfighter and the Adven-X are likely to be powered by the same liquid-cooled, 334cc, single-cylinder engine.
A few days after we brought you images of a new Yezdi street bike, we can now report that there are two altogether new models on the anvil – the Streetfighter and Adven-X.
- Adven-X appears to be an off-road focused model
- Streetfighter shares a lot of parts with Scrambler
-
Both bikes will share the same 334cc engine
Yezdi Streetfighter, Adven-X: same engine, different intentions
Let’s start with the Yezdi Adven-X as there’s a little less to unpack there. What we have here is essentially the Yezdi Adventure dialled up to eleven, with what seems to be longer-travel suspension at both ends. It also seems to be shod with properly knobby block-pattern tyres at both ends although it should have the same rim sizes as the standard Adventure. The seat has also undergone a radical transformation to become a flat, rally-style unit although it’s not a single-piece design as seen on the new Royal Enfield Himalayan Rally Pack and still has distinct sections for both the rider and pillion.
One very conspicuous aspect here is that it carries ‘Rally Pro’ badging on the side panels which is exactly what Triumph bestows upon its off-road focused Tiger range of bikes. It remains to be seen whether this badging will show up on the production-spec Yezdi Adven-X. The rest of the bike is very similar to the current Yezdi Adventure and for more information on the same, you can tap here.
The Yezdi Streetfighter is a very cool-looking machine that has a few elements which are at odds with its name. On the one hand you have what seems to be a nice upright riding position with a long flat seat, that’s typical of neo-retro roadsters. But, you also have suspension units and spoked rims (thus, no tubeless tyres) shod with dual-purpose rubber that seem to be lifted straight off the Yezdi Scrambler.
The twin exit exhaust system on the Yezdi Streetfighter is a very neat touch and is similarly styled as the one on the Ducati Monster SP, a bike we reviewed recently. The offset digital dash, LED headlight, switchgear, the dainty tail lamp perched atop the tiny rear fender and the upswept seat all appear near-identical to the Yezdi Scrambler.
It will be interesting to see how these upcoming Yezdis slot into the company’s lineup and whether they will be sold alongside the models they are based on or will replace them. Keep watching this space for the latest updates.
