On paper, the Yezdi Adventure displaces 109cc less than the Himalayan 440, but the Yezdi starts off strong—quite literally—with more power at a higher redline than the Himalayan 440. Its engine is also liquid-cooled compared to the Himalayan’s air- and oil-cooled mill. Both the motorcycles have six gears, so highway travel shouldn’t be a chore on either.
Things become a bit more even in this section. Both motorcycles share similar ground clearance numbers, but the Himalayan is more accessible with a 15mm lower saddle height. Yezdi reports 187kg for the Adventure but that’s dry weight. So, with 90 percent fuel, it should weigh just as much, if not more than the Himalayan’s 199kg.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 440 vs Yezdi Adventure: Features
The Yezdi offers a more comprehensive feature package compared to the Royal Enfield. The Adventure gives you traction control, adjustable wind shield and instrument cluster, three ride modes (Road, Rain, Off-road); all of which are missing on the Himalayan 440. On the other hand, the Royal Enfield comes with a tripper pod as standard for turn-by-turn navigation, a USB type-C port, and LED headlight and taillight. But if rider aids are what you’re after, the Yezdi has more of them.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 440 vs Yezdi Adventure: Price
Yezdi offers more value for money
Royal Enfield has kept things straightforward with the Himalayan 440 just offering one variant in three colours. All of them share the same price as well. Yezdi offers three variants of the Adventure in four total colours, separated only by the colour choices. Like we had mentioned earlier, you can add cross spoked tubeless wheels to its middle and top variants for Rs 20,000 extra. To conclude, on paper, the Yezdi Adventure puts up quite the fight to the Royal Enfield Himalayan 440 but real-world experiences may vary. It would be prudent to decide between the two after taking test rides.
