Two ADV bikes put on their racing shoes to conquer the Quickest Adventure Bike Crown.
The Yezdi Adventure was launched in India, alongside the Roadster and the Scrambler as a direct rival to the Royal Enfield Himalayan last year. The Yezdi Adventure uses the same 334cc, single-cylinder engine that powers the other Yezdi bikes but is available in a different state of tune for the Adventure model.
Now Adventure bikes are rugged and are specifically designed for those unpaved roads, and we don’t often see Adventure bikes performing top-speed runs. Interestingly in this video, you can watch the newly introduced Yezdi Adventure takes on the BMW G310 GS in a high-performance drag race.
Which adventure bike do you think will win this drag race?
The Contenders
In this video, you can watch two popular adv bikes, the Yezdi Adventure and the BMW310 GS race against each other
The Yezdi Adventure uses a 334cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected motor that produces around 30.2 PS of peak power at 8,000 rpm and 29.9 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. The engine is paired to a six-speed gearbox.
Its rival in this drag race, the BMW G310 GS, uses a 313cc, water-cooled, single-cylinder 4-stroke engine, four valves, fuel-injected engine that churns out 34 PS of peak power at 9,500 rpm and 28 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm delivered with the help of a six-speed gearbox.
Yezdi Adventure VS BMW G310 GS: Drag Race
Round 1
Both the riders set off the starting line on the mark of three horns
Both the riders set off the starting line on the mark of three horns. Surprisingly! The BMW G310 GS takes the lead proving that it offers better initial acceleration than its rival. The Yezdi Adventure turned out to be a quick accelerating motorcycle, but it failed to beat its opponent in round one. The BMW G310 GS won the first round with flying colors.
Round 2
Yezdi launched the Adventure recently to rival the RE Himalayan
The riders swap their bikes before the race to keep things fair. Both the riders et off once again on the mark of three horns. The BMW G310 GS took the lead while the Yezdi Adventure struggled to catch up. The G 310 GS touched a speedo indicated top speed of 164 kmph. The G 310 GS won the second drag race as well.
Conclusion
The BMW G310 GS won the drag race battle fair and square.
The Yezdi Adventure is a fast touring motorcycle compared to the Himalayan but it was no match to the G 310 GS, at least on the road. The G 310 GS produces slightly more power than its rival but is also combatively lighter than the Adventure, which helped it to win the drag race.
