To attract the already expected adventure motorcycle enthusiasts, the 2024 Yezdi Adventure 350 was recently spotted testing. This new motorcycle will receive a number of upgrades and improvements. It has been reported that Yezdi is planning to launch the new adventure motorcycle in May/June this year.
2024 Yezdi Adventure 350 engine upgrades
According to reports, the heart of the 2024 Yezdi Adventure 350 features a redesigned 334cc liquid-cooled engine. The company is believed to have optimized the engine’s internal components. Most likely, it will offer improved refinement and responsiveness.
In addition, adjustments to the throttle valve maps are expected. This could help the bike provide a more spirited riding experience. It also helps the motorcycle off-road as it is its natural habitat.
New exhaust system and heat management
One of the standout features of the upcoming Adventure 350 is its new exhaust routing. The recently spotted test vehicle was seen with its manifold pipe now protruding from the center of the cylinder head.
In addition, the catalytic converter was placed behind the engine. This was most likely done to increase the efficiency of thermal management. This reconfiguration not only improves engine performance, but also ensures optimal comfort by minimizing heat transfer to the rider’s legs.
Aesthetic improvements and accessories
Apart from all the mechanical improvements, the 2024 Yezdi Adventure 350 boasts a fresher appearance. The test mules featured bright colors and unique graphics.
Additionally, it was announced that the company will introduce a sturdier metal strike plate. This means the bike is better protected from uneven terrain.
Market positioning and competition
In the current adventure motorcycle market, the Yezdi Adventure 350 sits between the Hero Xpulse 200 4V and the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. This particular segment is growing day by day in the adventure touring segment.
Details and expectations start
Adventure motorcycle enthusiasts can mark their calendars for the launch of the Yezdi Adventure 350 in May or early June 2024. As for the price, the current Yezdi Adventure 350 is priced at Rs 2.55 lakh. Most likely there will be a slight price increase for this new model.
Honda is also planning to introduce an adventure motorcycle
The Japanese bicycle manufacturer Honda is also working on developing its very own adventure motorcycle. This new Honda ADV bike will be based on the Honda CB350 platform.
In terms of design, the patent images have revealed that it will get a sturdy front fairing for added wind protection. Additionally, it will feature a high-set front fender and hollowed seat, as well as other adventure bike-specific design details.
Most likely, the upcoming Honda CB359 Adventure will retain the same 350cc powerplant. However, it is expected that the gear ratios will be adjusted to suit its adventurous nature.
The expected features of this new adventure bike include modern conveniences such as dual-channel ABS and riding modes. Additionally, Honda could also offer Bluetooth connectivity, full LED lighting and a digital instrument console. The exact dates for the market launch of this model are yet to be announced.
