This rider-centric feature allows customization for comfort and visibility across varying terrains and rider heights, epitomizing the company\u2019s core philosophy: design must serve a clear mechanical and ergonomic purpose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">\u201cThis patent solves a specific interface problem, but it represents how we think,\u201d said Susheel Sinha, Head of R&amp;D at Classic Legends. \u201cPerformance engineering here isn\u2019t about feature accumulation. It\u2019s about bringing mechanical clarity and durability to how a motorcycle feels over years of use.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">This latest win adds to a growing intellectual property portfolio, which includes a patented Airfilter Multifrequency Resonator for its 650cc BSA models and the pioneering Alpha 2\u2014a liquid-cooled 334cc engine that advanced India\u2019s mid-capacity segment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">The company has consistently been a first-mover, introducing six-speed gearboxes, advanced clutches, and traction control to mid-sized bikes. Each innovation follows the principle of \u201cform follows mechanical function.\u201d On the Yezdi Adventure, for instance, the centrally routed exhaust was chosen for thermal efficiency, while the twin headlamps provide wide illumination, not just distinctive styling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">From the adjustable ergonomics of the Yezdi Roadster to one of India\u2019s largest single-cylinder 650cc engines in the BSA Gold Star, Classic Legends\u2019 approach is unified. Customization and design begin with chassis geometry and rider ergonomics, ensuring engineering ambition enhances the riding experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">With two patents now granted, two more filed, and numerous industry-firsts, Classic Legends is structuring its legacy not merely on nostalgia, but on a foundation of deliberate, rider-first engineering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_6730\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"6730\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/belgaumnow.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bengaluru:\u00a0Classic Legends, the force behind revived marques like Yezdi and BSA, has secured a new design patent, further cementing its strategy of building motorcycles where engineering innovation directly addresses rider needs.
