The 2025 Rajdoot marks the grand return of an Indian legend — reborn for a new generation of riders. Once known for its rugged simplicity and bulletproof reliability, the Rajdoot now blends classic retro styling with modern engineering and safety features. It’s not just nostalgia — it’s a statement that heritage can still roar on modern roads.
Design and Styling – Classic DNA with a Modern Twist
The 2025 Rajdoot New Model stays true to its vintage roots, keeping the round headlamp, teardrop fuel tank, and chrome fenders that made it iconic. However, Bajaj’s design division (rumored to be backing the revival) has added LED lighting, digital instrumentation, and refined metal finishes. Dual-tone paint schemes — Retro Silver, Royal Green, and Vintage Red — give it a stylish yet authentic old-school presence. Every curve and chrome line pays tribute to the original Rajdoot 175.
Under the hood, the 2025 Rajdoot features a 200cc single-cylinder, air-cooled FI engine, delivering around 18 HP and 17 Nm torque. It’s tuned for smooth throttle response and linear power, ideal for both city commutes and highway cruising. The 5-speed gearbox, fuel-injection system, and BS7-compliant emission setup ensure better performance with lower maintenance. The new frame also improves balance and vibration control, giving it a confident, comfortable ride.
Ride Comfort and Features – Old Soul, New Experience
Built on a semi-double cradle chassis, the Rajdoot offers modern ride dynamics with telescopic front forks and twin gas-charged shocks at the rear. The seating is plush and upright, perfect for long rides. Dual disc brakes with ABS, an LCD cluster, and USB charging port make it a practical companion for daily riders and classic collectors alike. Despite being retro, it’s smartly equipped for modern commuting.
Price, Launch, and Market Position
The 2025 Rajdoot New Model is expected to launch by mid-2025, priced around $1,700–$1,900 (₹1.45 lakh approx.). Competing against the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and Jawa 42, the Rajdoot offers a unique mix of retro charm, reliability, and affordability. It’s aimed at both nostalgic Indian buyers and international retro-bike enthusiasts looking for something different.
Conclusion
The 2025 Rajdoot isn’t just a comeback — it’s a revival of spirit. Classic looks, a modern heart, and a name that defined Indian motorcycling now ride together once again.
