The Yezdi Scrambler is a proper entry-level Scrambler that looks and promises to ride the part. Below we have discussed five of its notable features.
The entry-level Scrambler segment barely has any competition. Players who populate this segment are not out-an-out scramblers, which include, the Honda CB350RS and the Husqvarna Svartpilen 250. But with the new Yezdi Scrambler, theres now a proper reckoner. Right from its design with dual gas shock absorbers and high-rise mudguards to its peppy 334 cc engine complemented by a meaty exhaust note - every element affirms that this is a proper Scrambler.
Below here we have discussed some of the key standout features of the Yezdi Scrambler, but before you go ahead, make sure you join our 91Wheels Telegram and 91Wheels Whatsapp group to know more about vehicles, conduct discussions on your favourite ride and much more!
Chassis and Suspension
The Yezdi Scrambler has the smallest wheelbase amongst the three bikes at 1403 mm. The tubular steel double-cradle chassis rides on 41 mm front telescopic forks at the front and twin gas shock absorbers at the rear for that retro feel. The swingarm is completely new, and since this is an off-road spec bike the suspension gets long travel, but theyre not the same as the one on the Adventure. Ground clearance is also higher at 200 mm and with a good seat height of 800 mm.
Design
As stated before, the Yezdi Scrambler looks like a proper scrambler motorcycle, and some might even mistake it for a smaller Triumph Scrambler. Right from the fly line seat design to its round headlight, the design looks iconic and simple at the same time. Some of the standout design elements include the high-mounted mudguard, a large 12.5-litre fuel tank, the ribbed flat seat, and spoke wheels, and the minimal tail section finishes off the retro feel. This is further accentuated by swept-up dual exhausts, which retains the overall rugged appeal, without compromising on its functionality.
Engine
Just like the Adventure and Roadster, the Yezdi Scrambler also uses the same 334 cc engine but is tuned for a peppy character. The single-cylinder engine features different pistons from that of the Jawa, and it produces 29.1 Ps@8000 rpm and 28.2 Nm@6,750 rpm. The Scrambler gets a noticeable flatter curve, which should make this bike fun to ride in cities and sustain highway cruising speeds for a longer time. The six-speed gearbox further gets slipper clutch assistance, and just like any modern bike misses out on a kick-starter option too. (This wouldve been cooler)
Features
The Scrambler is the second motorcycle in Yezdis revived line-up to feature Bluetooth connectivity. However, it can also get a small screen console, same as the one that is standard on the Yezdi Adventure, as an added accessory. To control the above settings, the toggle switch on the left handlebar might remind you of the KTM ADV 250. The switch modes also let you control the ABS settings off-road, rain, and road. Theres also a handle-mounted USB and Type C charger, aside from LED headlights, and turn indicators.
Price and Rivals
The ex-showroom price of the Yezdi Scrambler in Delhi starts from Rs. 2,06, 900, without any kit or accessories. The dual-tone colour option will push the price to Rs. 2,10,900 . The accessories list includes a headlight cover, knuckle guards, flyscreen, and a larger rack at the back which replaces the stock rack.
Once launched, it will go against the likes of the CB350RS and Husqvarna 250. In the future, Royal Enfield is also said to launch its Haunter 350, based on the Himalayan.
