Yezdi and BSA launch two new scrambler motorcycles in India: From price to features – here's everything you need to know

Classic Legends-owned Yezdi and BSA jointly launched two new scrambler motorcycles – the Yezdi Scrambler 350 and BSA Scrambler 650 – in India on Thursday, April 23. According to a company release, both models feature authentic design, specially engineered powertrains, and robust build quality. With their original scrambler heritage, both brands are strengthening their presence in both ends of the premium motorcycle market.

Yezdi Scrambler 350: Lightweight city-focused scrambler

The company claimed that the Yezdi Scrambler 350 is India’s lightest 350cc scrambler, which is designed for urban riding and weekend getaways. It is powered by a new liquid-cooled engine named ‘Katar’ (pronounced ‘ka-taar’), which forms the core of the motorcycle’s structure and performance.

The motorcycle features a strong torque-to-weight advantage, offering quick response from standstill. It is intended to deliver a direct and flickable riding experience.

The Yezdi Scrambler 350 is priced at an introductory Rs 1,99,950.

Anupam Thareja, Co-founder, Classic Legends, said, "I have always believed that scramblers will redefine Indian riding culture the way SUVs redefined passenger four-wheelers. They are the SUVs of motorcycling. Scramblers are built for confident city-riding. But they are also agile and rugged enough to inspire you to explore terrain beyond roads on the weekends. Cap it all with the drop-dead gorgeous and bold design signatures of Yezdi and BSA, and we are ready ‘2 cause a scene’ in the segment we created. Between the Yezdi 350 and the BSA 650, we have just defined what the Indian scrambler can be. The new Yezdi is designed to be your first crush with its unmistakable presence. A real scrambler designed around a tight core, this Yezdi is a taut, restless storm in stance and performance."

BSA Scrambler 650: British heritage with modern engineering

The BSA Scrambler 650 is powered by India’s only 650cc single-cylinder engine in its segment, producing 45 PS and 55 Nm at 4,000 rpm. The model continues BSA’s legacy of British engineering and draws design inspiration from classic motorcycles such as the Gold Star Catalina, A10 Spitfire, and A65 Firebird.

Design elements include a sculpted tank with chrome accents, a flat ribbed bench seat, signature '65' oval side panels, and an exposed subframe. The motorcycle has been developed with India-specific adaptations for improved control and comfort.

The BSA Scrambler 650 is priced at an introductory Rs 3,24,950.

Boman Irani, Co-Founder of Classic Legends, said, "Yezdi has always belonged to riders with a flair for style and little patience for rigid labels. I grew up around these machines and got to see the underground scrambler movement myself. When I think of Yezdi, I think of scramblers. Each ride carries a sense of mischief that has always been a part of the Yezdi experience. The first Yezdi Scrambler made the format accessible in India; the new one expands what scramblers can become."
