Yezdi Adventure vs rivals: price and specifications compared

The Yezdi Adventure has recently seen a design refresh and a price revision.

The Yezdi Adventure recently saw a refresh, which prompted this specification comparison with its closest competitors. While the Himalayan 450 would be closer to the Yezdi Adventure in terms of intent, it’s actually the Scram 400 which is the closer rival in terms of price and specification, which is why we have considered it.

Yezdi Adventure vs rivals: engine and output

Adventure has the highest output and power-to-weight ratio

Engine & output
	Yezdi Adventure	RE Scram 440	Hero Xpulse 210
Engine	334cc, single-cyl, liquid-cooled	443cc, single-cyl, air/oil-cooled	210cc, single-cyl, liquid-cooled
Power	29.6hp at 8,000rpm	25.4hp at 6,250rpm	24.6hp at 9,250rpm
Power-to-weight ratio	158.29hp per tonne	135.83hp per tonne	144.71hp per tonne
Torque	29.6Nm at 5,750rpm	34Nm at 4,000rpm	20.7Nm at 7,250 rpm
Gearbox	6-speed	6-speed	6-speed

No bike here has a really stand-out output figure and it’s more or less in line with their displacements. The Scram 440 uses an old-school, air/oil-cooled, large thumper which is sure to have a different feel and exhaust sound to the other two, which use modern liquid-cooled engines.

Yezdi Adventure vs rivals: weight and dimensions

Yezdi is the heaviest here; Scram has the lowest seat height

Weight & dimensions
	Yezdi Adventure	RE Scram 440	Hero Xpulse 210
Kerb weight	187kg (dry)	196kg	168-170kg
Seat height	815mm	795mm	830mm
Ground clearance	NA	200mm	220mm
Fuel tank capacity	15.5 litres	15 litres	13 litres
Wheelbase	1465mm	1460mm	1446mm

The Yezdi Adventure is by far the heaviest machine here, because topped up with fuel and all essential fluids, it will be quite close to the 200-kilo mark or perhaps even a little above it. While the Scram 440 too is a portly machine, its seat height is in the same ballpark as some commuter bikes, which will be a big plus point for shorter riders. At the same time, its ground clearance is quite respectable at 200mm. Unsurprisingly, the smaller Xpulse is the lightest machine here and it also has the shortest wheelbase, which should make it a manageable machine, despite its relatively tall 830mm perch.

Yezdi Adventure vs rivals: suspension, tyres and brakes

Scram 440 is the only one to use a 19-inch front wheel and alloys

Suspension, tyres and brakes
	Yezdi Adventure	RE Scram 440	Hero Xpulse 210
Suspension (F/R)	Telescopic fork / Monoshock	Telescopic fork / Monoshock	Telescopic fork / Monoshock
Brakes (F/R)	320mm disc / 240mm disc	300mm disc / 240mm disc	276mm disc / 220mm disc
Tyres (F/R)	90/90-21 / 130/80-17	100/90-19 / 120/90-17	90/90-21 / 120/80-18

Suspension hardware is one area where these three machines use identical setups although travel is unique to each bike. Where the Adventure and Xpulse 210 use a 21-inch wire-spoke wheel, the Scram uses a 19-inch alloy in keeping with its dual-purpose nature. In comparison to the Scram and Adventure, the Xpulse’s brakes might seem smaller but are commensurate with its lower kerb weight.

Yezdi Adventure vs rivals: features

Xpulse only bike to get colour TFT display

With its recent update, the Yezdi Adventure has now gained switchable traction control, a tilt-adjustable LCD display and an adjustable windscreen (although to change its position you need to unscrew some bolts, which is rather cumbersome). It already had switchable ABS and three ABS modes, which are carried forward as well. In comparison, the Scram 440 is a rather simple (but functional) machine with only switchable ABS. The Xpulse 210 is the only bike here to have a colour TFT display which can be paired to your smartphone via Bluetooth. And just like the Yezdi, it also gets 3 ABS modes.
