India’s lightest 350cc scrambler, the restless Yezdi Scrambler, is engineered for both urban commutes and weekend escapes. The new liquid-cooled Katar (pronounced ‘ka-taar’) engine is the functional and structural core of the motorcycle. With a strong torque-to-weight ratio and responsive performance, it starts at an introductory price of Rs 1,99,950.

The BSA Scrambler 650, powered by India’s only 650cc single-cylinder engine in the segment, combines authentic British scrambler styling with strong low- and mid-range torque delivery. It draws its bespoke design from historical icons such as the Gold Star Catalina, A10 Spitfire, and A65 Firebird, BSA’s world-famous scramblers. The motorcycle is available at an introductory starting price of Rs 3,24,950.

Anupam Thareja, Co-founder, Classic Legends, said, “Scramblers have the potential to become the SUVs of motorcycling, changing the expectations riders have from their motorcycles forever. We hope these machines, built for confident city-riding and beyond, and bearing the design signatures of Yezdi and BSA, will inspire Pune to explore terrain beyond roads on the weekends. The Yezdi Scrambler is a taut and restless storm in stance and performance, while the BSA Scrambler channels its British lineage that originally inspired the format across continents.”

Today’s launches extend Yezdi and BSA’s commitment to scramblers with two new motorcycles built around the format’s original demands: Lightweight, torque-led, and responsive.

Customers can now visit their nearest dealership in Pune to experience the brand-new scramblers as well as the complete range of Yezdi and BSA motorcycles.

All the dealerships offer sales, service, and aftersales support under one roof, and are backed by the company’s Customer Assurance Programme, designed to support long-term ownership with reliability and peace of mind, including:

• 4-year/50,000-km standard warranty
• Extended warranty options up to 6 years
• One year of roadside assistance
• Support across 400+ sales and service touchpoints nationwide
