Yezdi has launched the updated Scrambler in India at a starting price of Rs 1,99,950 (ex-showroom, Delhi), making it about Rs 5,000 more expensive than before. But unlike what the familiar silhouette might suggest, this isn’t just a minor update, it’s a proper ground-up rework.
The biggest change lies underneath. The new Yezdi Scrambler is now built from the ground up and gets a completely new engine – no longer based on the earlier Alpha2 platform. Instead, it now shares its motor with the BSA Bantam 350.
This revised 334cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC engine produces 30PS and 30Nm, paired to a 6-speed gearbox. That is 0.9PS and 1.8Nm more than before. The motor features an 11:1 compression ratio and is designed to deliver a more refined and tractable riding experience. Yezdi claims a mileage of 30kmpl for the new Scrambler.
Another major highlight is the weight reduction. At 174kg, the new Scrambler is 8kg lighter than before. The weight reduction might be due to the now single exhaust setup which replaces the dual exhaust from the previous iteration.
The choice of colours on the Scrambler has been simplified to four shades: Legacy Black - Rs 1,99,950, OG Yellow, Rogue Red - Rs 2,05,950, and Rally Blue - 2,09,950 (all ex-showroom).
On the design front, the ‘69’ number plate isn’t just for show. It’s a direct callback to Yezdi’s late-1960s off-road racing roots, an era where stripped-down motorcycles with number boards defined the scrambler culture. So yes, it genuinely adds to the bike’s identity.

The suspension setup now consists of a telescopic fork with 150mm travel and twin shock absorbers at the rear with 5-step adjustability and 130mm wheel travel. Braking duties are handled by a 320mm front disc and a 240mm rear disc, with dual-channel ABS.
The bike rides on an 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup, wrapped with knobby tyres -- 100-section front, 140-section rear. It has a 13-litre fuel tank capacity and has an accessible seat height of 813mm.
The console, however, remains unchanged. It continues with the same circular LCD unit seen on the current Yezdi Roadster. We’d have really liked to see a TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity.
The bike retains all-LED lighting and continues to offer three modes: Road, Rain and Sport. These change how the ABS and traction control sensitivity.
This isn’t just a mild refresh; it’s a proper overhaul where it matters. A new engine, reduced weight, and revised underpinnings directly address the shortcomings of the previous model.
On paper, the Yezdi Scrambler now looks like a far more sorted and usable scrambler. If the real-world performance backs this up, it could finally deliver on its promise. It goes up against rivals like the Royal Enfield Scram 440 and the more premium Triumph Scrambler 400 X.
Meanwhile, BSA has also launched the Scrambler 650 in India at Rs 3.25 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), adding another interesting contender to the segment.
