Classic Legends has secured a patent in India for an adjustable visor and speedometer system, expanding its intellectual property portfolio in the domestic motorcycle market. The patent has been granted for a 20-year term from March 21, 2023, under the Patents Act, 1970.
The patented technology covers a system that allows riders to adjust both the visor and the speedometer to suit their height and riding preferences. This adjustability is designed to be useful in varied conditions, including off-road riding, where riders may need different viewing angles and wind protection. The system was first introduced on the 2025 Yezdi Adventure, one of the company's key models in the adventure-touring segment.
