Yezdi Scrambler — Overview

The Yezdi Scrambler is a bike available at a price range of Rs. 1,97,499 - Rs. 2,01,187 in India. It comes in 3 variants and 7 colours. It is powered by a 334 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a expert reported mileage of 24.71 kmpl. With both front and rear disc brakes, the Yezdi Scrambler comes with anti-locking braking system. The Scrambler bike weighs 192 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 12.5 liters. It develops a power output of 28.7 bhp and a torque of 28.2 Nm.

At just 174 kg, the Yezdi Scrambler is the lightest scrambler you can buy in India - and the 2026 model finally makes the case stick. Launched at Rs 1,99,950, it gets a revised 334cc 'Katar' engine with 29.56 bhp, traction control, and three riding modes (Road, Rain, Off-Road) that the Scram 411 simply can't match on paper. Add switchable ABS with a dedicated off-road mode that cuts rear ABS entirely, and you have a capable city-to-trail machine for under Rs 2.1 lakh. The catch? The rear suspension is stiff, the service network is still thinner than Royal Enfield's, and spoke-only wheels mean tubed tyres on the trail. If you can live with those trade-offs, the Scrambler punches well above its price.

Yezdi Scrambler Latest Updates

View all

  • Autocar India published its full road test of the 2026 Yezdi Scrambler on June 6, 2026, rating it positively for improved engine refinement and ride quality but flagging glitchy electronics - riding mode changes were unreliable and a side-stand sensor malfunction was reported during testing.

  • Classic Legends officially launched the 2026 Yezdi Scrambler in India at an introductory starting price of Rs 1,99,950 (ex-showroom, Delhi), introducing a revised 334cc 'Katar' liquid-cooled engine producing 30 PS and 30 Nm, traction control with three riding modes (Road, Rain, Off-Road), a weight reduction of 8 kg to 174 kg via a new single exhaust, and updated styling with race number board side panels across a fresh four-colour palette.

  • The Yezdi Scrambler (2022-2025 generation) has been discontinued following the introduction of the 2026 model. The outgoing Scrambler was priced from Rs 1,97,499 (ex-showroom, Delhi) and has been delisted from the official Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles website.

What We Like

  • India's lightest scrambler at 174 kg - 8 kg trimmed over the previous gen via a single exhaust
  • Feature-packed for the price: traction control, 3 riding modes, switchable dual-channel ABS, USB-C charging
  • 334cc liquid-cooled engine delivers punchy mid-range power - real overtaking grunt on highways and ghats
  • 200 mm ground clearance and semi-knobby tyres handle broken tarmac and light trails confidently

What Could Be Better

  • Rear suspension is noticeably stiff - pillion and rough-road comfort suffer
  • Service network lags rivals; fewer authorised centres than Royal Enfield across most Indian cities
  • Spoke wheels only (no alloy option), meaning tubed tyres and slower roadside puncture fixes

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Yezdi Scrambler?

The 2026 Yezdi Scrambler is a genuinely capable machine at a sharp price - better featured than the Scram 411 and lighter than anything else in its class. The stiff rear end and patchy service network are real concerns, but if you ride mostly solo on varied terrain and don't need a dense dealer network, the Scrambler offers more equipment per rupee than its rivals right now.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the price of the Yezdi Scrambler in India?▾
The 2026 Yezdi Scrambler starts at Rs 1,99,950 (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the Legacy Black variant and goes up to Rs 2,08,950 for Rally Blue. On-road prices are higher - expect approximately Rs 2,29,580 in Delhi and Rs 2,38,628 in Mumbai after adding RTO, insurance, and dealer charges.
QWhat is the real-world mileage of the Yezdi Scrambler?▾
Yezdi claims 30 km/l (ARAI) for the 334cc Katar engine. Real-world owner reports typically land between 25-28 km/l in city conditions and 28-30 km/l on highways at steady throttle. The 12.5-litre tank delivers an estimated range of 330-375 km between fills.
QWhat is the EMI for the Yezdi Scrambler base variant?▾
For the Legacy Black at Rs 1,99,950 with a 20% down payment (Rs 40,000), the loan amount is approximately Rs 1,59,950. At 9% p.a. over 36 months, the EMI works out to roughly Rs 5,090 per month. Over 60 months at 8.5%, it drops to around Rs 3,300 per month - compare rates from Bajaj Finance and HDFC before deciding.
QHow does the Yezdi Scrambler compare to the Royal Enfield Scram 411?▾
The Scrambler produces more peak power (29.56 bhp vs 24.3 bhp) and adds traction control, three riding modes, and switchable ABS that the Scram 411 lacks. However, the Royal Enfield Scram 411 delivers more low-end torque (32 Nm vs 30 Nm), has a significantly wider service network, and scores higher in user satisfaction ratings (4.5/5 vs 3.6/5).
QIs the Yezdi Scrambler good for off-road riding?▾
The Scrambler is well-suited for light to moderate off-road - its 200 mm ground clearance, semi-knobby tubed tyres, and Off-Road ABS mode (which deactivates rear ABS for controlled slides) make it genuinely capable on gravel tracks and trails. It is not designed for serious enduro or heavy off-road riding; suspension travel (150 mm front, 130 mm rear) limits it to moderate terrain.
QWhat riding modes does the 2026 Yezdi Scrambler offer?▾
The 2026 Scrambler offers three riding modes - Road, Rain, and Off-Road. Road mode provides full traction control and ABS intervention, Rain mode softens throttle response and increases ABS sensitivity, and Off-Road mode deactivates rear ABS entirely to allow controlled rear-wheel slides on loose or muddy surfaces.
QWhat is the service interval for the Yezdi Scrambler?▾
The Yezdi Scrambler's first service is typically due at 500-1,000 km and is usually complimentary at authorised dealerships. Subsequent scheduled services are recommended every 5,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first. For current service labour charges, contact your nearest authorised Yezdi dealership as costs vary by city and service type.
QDoes the Yezdi Scrambler have alloy wheels?▾
No - the 2026 Yezdi Scrambler uses spoked wheels only (19-inch front, 17-inch rear) with tubed tyres. There is no alloy wheel variant available. This means puncture repairs require tube removal rather than a quick plug-and-pump, which can be inconvenient during longer rides or on remote trails.
