Rajdoot, a legendary motorcycle brand from the past, is once again in the limelight. Known for its rugged performance and iconic design, especially the Rajdoot 350 and Excel-T, the brand had a strong fan base across India in the '70s to early 2000s. While there’s no official confirmation yet, online buzz and rumors suggest a possible relaunch of the Rajdoot bike in India by mid or late 2025.
Rajdoot was originally produced by Escorts in collaboration with Yamaha.
The comeback is expected to blend retro looks with modern features.
Social media posts showing the bike are mostly edited or fake (confirmed by ZigWheels).
Fake News vs Reality
Recently, digitally edited photos of a “new Rajdoot 350” went viral, showing a Chinese bike (Lifan) with Rajdoot branding. Experts at ZigWheels have debunked these images, calling them misleading. However, this hasn’t stopped fans from hoping for a real relaunch, especially as EV and auto portals speculate on a possible return.
Viral images circulating online are not official.
ZigWheels confirmed these are photoshopped Chinese bikes.
Enthusiasts still hope for a real Rajdoot 350 in the market.
Expected Specs, Mileage & Price
While nothing is officially confirmed, auto portals like MYEV and Bikes4Sale suggest that the new Rajdoot could feature a 350cc BS6 engine, retro-inspired design, and modern upgrades. The expected mileage is 30–60 km/l, depending on tuning and usage. The estimated price is between ₹1.5 lakh and ₹2.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
Expected engine: 350cc, BS6, 4-stroke single-cylinder.
Claimed mileage: 30 to 60 km/l depending on variant.
Projected price range: ₹1.5L – ₹2.5L (ex-showroom).
Launch Timeline & Final Thoughts
According to industry speculation, the Rajdoot bike might launch in India by July to December 2025. However, there is still no official word from Escorts or Yamaha, so buyers should wait for confirmation. If launched, the new Rajdoot could give tough competition in the classic bike segment and bring back strong nostalgia for Indian bikers.
Possible launch window: Mid to late 2025.
No official launch or teaser released as of now.
Would compete with Royal Enfield, Jawa, and Yezdi if launched.
