Yezdi Scrambler — Overview
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 allAutocar 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.
