Classic Legends Secures New Patent: Redefining the 2025 Yezdi Adventure Experience
In a significant move that strengthens its position as a design-driven manufacturer, Classic Legends has been granted a new patent for its innovative adjustable visor and speedometer system. First introduced on the 2025 Yezdi Adventure, this patent is granted for a 20-year term effective from March 21, 2023. This milestone underscores the company’s “design-first” philosophy, where engineering decisions are dictated by practical rider benefits.
Precision Engineering for the Modern Rider
The patented technology allows riders to manually adjust both the visor and the speedometer to match their height and specific comfort requirements. This level of customization is particularly beneficial during off-roading, where visibility and instrument readability are paramount. According to Susheel Sinha, Head of R&D at Classic Legends, the innovation is not merely about adding features but about providing “mechanical clarity and durability” to the riding experience.
A Growing Legacy of Innovation
This latest win is part of a broader strategy to build a robust portfolio of intellectual property. Classic Legends has a track record of R&D firsts, including:
- Airfilter Multifrequency Resonator: A patented component used in the 650cc BSA Gold Star and BSA Scrambler that damps unwanted sound across the entire RPM range.
- Alpha 2 Engine: The 334cc liquid-cooled engine that serves as the backbone for the company’s mid-capacity portfolio, designed for high thermal efficiency.
- Advanced Systems: Early adoption of six-speed gearboxes, assist and slipper clutches, and traction control in the mid-sized category.
Form Following Function
The design language at Classic Legends ensures that aesthetic choices serve a mechanical purpose. On the 2025 Yezdi Adventure, features like the centrally routed exhaust improve thermal management, while the twin headlamps provide wide, confident illumination for night riding.
Similarly, the 2025 Yezdi Roadster emphasizes ergonomics through early-stage structural design, offering accessible seat heights and balanced riding triangles. Beyond mid-capacity bikes, the company has demonstrated high-displacement capability with the production of the BSA Gold Star’s 650cc single-cylinder engine.
Future Outlook
Classic Legends continues to invest in in-house R&D and engineering talent. With two patents won and two more filed, the company is reviving iconic brands like Jawa, Yezdi, and BSA for global markets while maintaining a focus on performance-classic DNA. Notably, the BSA brand is also exploring the future of mobility, having been awarded a £4.6 million grant by the UK government for zero-emission motorcycle development.
