Yezdi Launches 2026 Festive Range, Plans Major Dealer Expansion

Classic Legends-owned Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles has chosen Kerala as the starting point for its 2026 festive-season offensive, rolling out a refreshed three-bike Yezdi lineup while simultaneously expanding its retail footprint in the state to more than 20 outlets. The Kochi-based unveiling, timed to coincide with Onam, marks what the company describes as one of the first instances of a two-wheeler brand headlining a nationwide product launch from a single southern state rather than a metro hub.

Three Bikes, One Theme

The updated range - internally branded the "Untamed Trinity" - spans Yezdi's Adventure, Roadster and Scrambler models, each getting a new paint scheme rather than a mechanical overhaul.

The Adventure, called the Yellow Falcon in its latest form, is the headline update. It now offers cross-spoke wheels running tubeless tyres, addressing a long-standing rider request for the durability of spoked wheels without the puncture-repair hassle of tube-type tyres. It continues to run the 334cc liquid-cooled Alpha2 motor, tuned for roughly 30 PS and just under 30 Nm, paired with switchable riding modes for road, rain and off-road use and standard ABS.

The Roadster, now in a Green Mamba avatar, keeps its mechanical package unchanged - the same Alpha2 engine, six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch - but adds a matte green shade with a brown quilted seat and copper-toned graphics.

The Scrambler, badged Grey Panther, is the only one of the three built around Yezdi's other engine platform, the KATAR unit. The company pitches it as a "30-30-30" motorcycle - roughly 30 PS, 30 Nm and 30 km/l - wrapped in a grey finish with a matching brown seat and tank pads.

Pricing for the range (ex-showroom, Delhi) is as follows:

Bookings for the new colourways are open across the country with immediate effect.

Why Kerala

Company leadership framed the choice of Kerala less as a marketing gimmick and more as a nod to the state's outsized role in the mid-capacity motorcycle segment, where Yezdi's older models have long carried a cult following tied to touring culture and, at times, popular cinema. Onam, arriving as the first big festival of the season, gave the brand a natural moment to anchor the launch regionally before bookings opened nationally.

Classic Legends' co-founders used the occasion to reiterate that the modern Yezdi range - built around the Alpha2 and KATAR platforms has been central to the brand's recent growth, and to signal continued confidence in Kerala as a market the company wants to lead outright in its segment.

Dealer Push: 20 Outlets Now, 700 Nationally by FY28

Alongside the product reveal, Jawa Yezdi confirmed it has brought on board more than 20 dealer partners across Kerala, calling it one of the largest single-state network additions in the brand's history. The expansion is aimed at cutting down wait times for sales and service and improving overall ownership experience in a state where demand has historically outpaced local availability.

Zooming out, the company reaffirmed a broader target of scaling its pan-India dealer network to around 700 touchpoints by FY28 - a sharp jump from current numbers, underlining how aggressively Classic Legends intends to chase volume growth for the brand over the next couple of years.

Ownership Package Stays Consistent

Buyers of the new range continue to get Jawa Yezdi's existing ownership benefits, unchanged for this launch:

• A 4-year/50,000 km standard warranty, extendable up to 6 years
• 1-year roadside assistance, extendable up to 8 years
• Optional annual maintenance contracts for up to 5 years
• Support through the brand's expanding sales and service network

The Bigger Picture

The Kerala launch fits into a pattern for Classic Legends, which also owns the Jawa and BSA marques: rather than treating festive season updates as cosmetic refreshes alone, the company is pairing them with retail expansion in target markets. With Onam kicking off India's festival calendar, the timing gives Jawa Yezdi an early runway before the traditionally bigger Dussehra-Diwali buying window later in the year — and a chance to test whether a state-first launch strategy can work as well for a modern motorcycle brand as a national one.
