BSA has launched the Scrambler in the UK at a price of GBP 5999 (around Rs 5,23,338).

It uses the same engine as the Gold Star 650, making the same 45PS and 55Nm.

It is a proper scrambler style motorcycle with rugged looks, a slightly tall stance, block pattern tyres and a beak-like fender.

The Scrambler 650 also continues with the 5-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch, same as the Gold Star.

The bike gets 41mm conventional telescopic fork and twin rear shock absorbers with 5-step preload adjustability.

Being a scrambler, the bike should offer slightly more suspension travel than the road-spec Gold Star 650.

It runs on a 19-inch front and a 17-inch rear spoke wheels, along with a 110-section front and a 150-rear Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres.

There is a 320mm front and a 255mm rear disc brake setup with dual channel ABS.

At 215kg (kerb), the Scrambler is 14kg heavier than the Gold Star, and at 820mm the seat height is 40mm more.
