GUWAHATI, Jan 18: Classic Legends has secured a new patent, further strengthening its positioning as a design-driven, performance-oriented motorcycle manufacturer.
The patent, covering an adjustable visor and speedometer system first introduced on the 2025 Yezdi Adventure, has been granted for a 20-year term from March 21, 2023 under the Patents Act, 1970.

The innovation enhances the interface between the rider, the motorcycle and the riding environment by allowing riders to adjust the visor and speedometer based on their height and comfort, even during off-road riding.
The company said the development reflects its performance engineering philosophy, where functional rider benefits guide design decisions.
Reviving iconic motorcycling brands, Classic Legends has steadily built a portfolio of intellectual property and industry-first technologies while developing motorcycles for both Indian and global markets.
Earlier, the company won a patent for its Airfilter Multifrequency Resonator used in its 650cc platforms, including the BSA Gold Star and BSA Scrambler sold in the UK.
Unlike conventional resonators that operate at a single frequency, the patented system suppresses unwanted air-filter noise across the engine’s entire rpm range.
Classic Legends was also among the early players to introduce a liquid-cooled 334cc engine in the mid-capacity segment, helping shift the market towards higher performance and better thermal efficiency at a time when air-cooled engines dominated.
This Alpha 2 engine now underpins the company’s mid-capacity lineup.
In addition, the manufacturer has been an early adopter of six-speed gearboxes, assist and slipper clutches, traction control and advanced braking systems in the segment, deploying each feature to deliver practical riding advantages rather than cosmetic upgrades.
Commenting on the latest patent, Susheel Sinha, Head of R&D at Classic Legends, said the recognition goes beyond a single innovation.
“This patent solves a specific rider-interface problem, but it represents how we think about motorcycles. Performance engineering for us is not about adding features; it is about mechanical clarity, durability and how the motorcycle feels over years of use,” he said.
The company’s design language, it said, continues to be shaped by mechanical function.
On the 2025 Yezdi Adventure, features such as the centrally routed exhaust are aimed at improving thermal efficiency and rider comfort, while the twin headlamps offer both a distinctive identity and wide illumination.
Similarly, the 2025 Yezdi Roadster’s adjustable seating, balanced riding triangle and factory-backed customisation options stem from early-stage chassis and structural design decisions.
Beyond the mid-capacity segment, Classic Legends has also demonstrated its engineering ambitions with the BSA Gold Star, one of the largest single-cylinder 650cc motorcycles produced in India, highlighting its capability to develop high-displacement platforms alongside advanced mechanical systems.
The company said its sustained investment in in-house R&D, engineering talent and integrated design has resulted in multiple industry-firsts, with two patents already granted, two more filed, and several innovations in the pipeline, a release stated.
