The 2026 Yezdi Scrambler arrives with a series of mechanical, feature, and design updates aimed at improving overall usability while retaining its rugged character. Here are five key highlights that define the updated model:
1. Revised 334 cc engine with improved output
The 2026 Scrambler carries a tweaked power unit. While it continues with the 334 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine paired to a six-speed gearbox, this unit now benefits from a slight performance bump. Output stands at 29.58 bhp and 30 Nm, up from the earlier 28.7 bhp and 28.2 Nm. The update is aimed at delivering smoother performance and better rideability.
2. Reduced weight for better handling
Yezdi has managed to shave off weight from the motorcycle, bringing it down to 174 kg from the earlier 182 kg. The cut, achieved by employing lighter components, improves manoeuvrability to make the Scrambler easier to handle, particularly on rough terrain where control is critical.
3. New traction control and updated instrumentation
One of the more notable additions is switchable traction control, now offered with three preset modes. This enhances grip management across varying terrains. The instrument cluster has also been updated with a more informative LCD display, improving data readability and rider interface.s

4. Chassis tweaks and revised ergonomics
The chassis has been reworked for improved stiffness, which should translate to better stability and riding dynamics. Suspension setup remains unchanged with telescopic forks offering 150 mm travel at the front and a monoshock with 130 mm travel at the rear. Ground clearance continues at 200 mm, while the seat height has increased by 13 mm to 813 mm, altering the riding stance slightly.
5. Fresh styling and updated colour palette
The 2026 Scrambler gets subtle cosmetic tweaks, including new tank graphics and redesigned oval-shaped side panels. The bike is now offered in four colour options: Legacy Black, OG Yellow, Rogue Red, and Rally Blue. Pricing ranges between ₹1.99 lakh and ₹2.08 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom), depending on the colour variant. With the latest updates, the Scrambler is priced ₹4,000 more than the outgoing model.
