Scram vs Adventure: Mumbai to Panchgani Ride 🏍️ for IBW 2025

IBW 2025 unfolded against the breathtaking backdrop of the Panchgani hills. One of India’s most iconic motorcycling festivals bringing together machines, music, and miles of memories. But this wasn’t just about the destination. It was about the ride.

We set off from Mumbai on a 250 km highway-and-ghat run astride two of the most affordable touring options - the Royal Enfield Himalayan and the Yezdi Adventure, to find out which one truly delivers when it comes to real-world touring, comfort, performance, and value.

From expressway stretches to winding hill roads, crosswinds to corner carving, this was a proper test of suspension travel, engine tractability, cruising ability, and rider ergonomics.
