Along with Triumph and Bajaj’s first roadster, a scrambler motorcycle has also been spotted for the first time. This will be Triumph’s take on the scrambler segment that’s been garnering renewed interest of late.

A major distinction between the roadster-styled Triumph Bajaj 350 and the Triumph Bajaj Scrambler lies in the underpinnings. The Scrambler comes with a larger 19-inch front wheel, in contrast to the smaller 17-inch unit in the Triumph Bajaj 350. The rear wheels of both bikes are 17-inch units. In the scrambler, the alloys are wrapped in block pattern Metzeler Karoo Street tyres, which, coupled with the larger front wheel, should make it perfect for light trails. Oh, and for added protection, the bike also features a headlight guard, knuckle guards, and a bash plate.

One of the test mules even featured a flyscreen, braced handlebar, front fender beak, and a tail rack. Triumph has equipped the bike with easy-to-reach handlebars, serrated footpegs, and a split-seat setup, making it trail-friendly. It gets a TFT instrument cluster, so expect it to be smartphone-compatible and support navigation, at least as an option.

The motorcycle will be powered by the same single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine as the roadster. Expect the displacement to be somewhere around 350cc-400cc, and if we’re lucky, Triumph could tweak the final ratios for better performance off the road. The motorcycle also features twin vertically stacked upswept exhausts for a sporty look.

The Triumph Bajaj Scrambler could cost Rs 25,000 more than the roadster, putting its expected price tag at Rs 2.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Triumph might launch the motorcycle alongside the roadster, likely in early 2023. It will help establish the bikemaker in the fast-growing sub-500cc scrambler segment. Currently, the only affordable scrambler/scrambler-style motorcycles available in India are the Husqvarna Svartpilen 250, Honda CB350RS, and the recently launched Yezdi Scrambler.
