Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles, manufactured by Classic Legends, has introduced its 2026 product line-up ahead of the festive season in India – comprising three models: the Yellow Falcon Adventure, Green Mamba Roadster and Grey Panther Scrambler.

The company initiated the national market rollout from Kerala, coinciding with the Onam festival period, alongside the establishment of 20 customer touchpoints across the state.

The Yellow Falcon Adventure introduces cross-spoke wheels compatible with tubeless tyres, an addition requested by owners. The variant features a yellow and grey scheme with decals, paired with the 334-cc liquid-cooled Alpha2 engine producing 29.6 PS power and 29.9 Nm torque. Standard features include traction control and three ABS operating modes for road, rain and off-road conditions. The tubeless cross-spoke wheel option will be available across the wider Yezdi Adventure line-up. Prices start at INR 212,969 ex-showroom New Delhi for the base Yellow Falcon, rising to INR 232,969 for the tubeless wheel variant.

The Green Mamba Roadster incorporates a matte green paint finish, a brown seat and copper decals. It uses the 334-cc liquid-cooled Alpha2 engine linked to a six-speed transmission with an assist-and-slipper clutch. The variant is priced at INR 205,969 ex-showroom New Delhi.

The Grey Panther Scrambler features a metallic grey finish, ribbed brown seat, and matching tank pads. It is powered by the 334-cc liquid-cooled KATAR engine, delivering 30 PS power, 30 Nm torque, and a rated fuel efficiency of 30 km per litre. The model is priced at INR 205,969 ex-showroom New Delhi.

Boman Rustom Irani, Co-Founder, Classic Legends, said, "Yezdi has always been a brand built as much by its riders as by us. Riders have passed Yezdis down generations, restored them, and built communities around them. The 2026 line-up brings that spirit to life with three purpose-built motorcycles."

Anupam Thareja, Co-Founder, Classic Legends, said, "As Onam marks the start of India's festive season, there could be no better place or time to reaffirm our commitment to Kerala and its riders. Kerala has always been close to my heart as a rider, and it has made Yezdi its own from its past glory to the new launch. We are proud to unveil the 2026 range for India, from Kerala, as we continue bringing the brand closer to riders across the country. I am sure we will be the number one motorcycle brand in our segment in this riding paradise. As a two-wheeler brand, probably we are the first ones to do a national launch in Kerala."

The company has opened bookings across India for the 2026 product range. The network addition in Kerala forms part of a broader expansion plan targeting 500 touchpoints nationwide within the current financial year and 700 touchpoints by FY28. All models remain covered by the company's standard warranty program, which provides four-year or 50,000-kilometre coverage extendable to six years, alongside roadside assistance and maintenance contract options.
