Engine and performance

The torque and power figures are well balanced, so it neither needs to be revved hard nor feels lazy when you do.

Dimensions in practice

The Scrambler Nightshift weighs 191 kg with fluids, has an 795 mm seat, 176 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1449 mm wheelbase. That clearance is generous: speed breakers and broken roads will not trouble the underbody.

The fuel tank holds 13.5 litres.

Tyres are 110/80-R18 front and 180/55-R17 rear, tubeless.

Features, and why each matters

Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.

Safety and braking

  • Dual-channel ABS

    Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.

  • Front disc brake

    Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.

  • Rear disc brake

    Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.

  • Tubeless tyres

    A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.

  • Traction control

    Cuts power if the rear spins on wet paint or gravel. Rare under ₹2 lakh.

  • Side-stand engine cut-off

    Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.

  • Hazard lamps

    All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.

Convenience

  • USB charging port

    Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.

  • Engine kill switch

    Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.

Chassis

  • USD front forks

    Stiffer than conventional forks, so the front feels planted under hard braking.

  • Slipper clutch

    Stops the rear wheel hopping on aggressive downshifts. Also makes the lever lighter.

Lighting

  • LED headlamp

    Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.

  • LED daytime running lamp

    Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.

  • LED tail lamp

    Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.

Console and connectivity

  • Colour TFT console

    Readable in direct sun and can show turn-by-turn navigation.

  • Digital console

    Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.

  • Ride modes

    An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.

Equipment against Scrambler Full Throttle, Scrambler Icon and Scrambler 1200

What it lacks: alloy wheels, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.

It is offered in 1 colours: Nebula Blue. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
