In short

The Scrambler 900 uses a 900cc twin making 64.1bhp, priced from about ₹10.75 lakh, positioning it as a simpler, lighter-featured alternative to the Scrambler 1200. It suits riders who want classic scrambler styling without the 1200's off-road hardware or price, though the shorter feature list makes it a harder sell against similarly-priced naked bikes.

What works

  • 64.1bhp and 80Nm from a proven 900cc twin
  • 223kg kerb weight is manageable for the class
  • 23kmpl mileage is respectable for a twin this size
  • Twin rear shocks give a classic scrambler look and feel

What doesn't

  • No slipper clutch or USD forks unlike the Daytona 660 or Scrambler 1200
  • 5-speed gearbox feels dated against 6-speed rivals
  • Priced close to considerably more powerful naked bikes like the MT-09

Best for: Classic-style commuting, Weekend scrambler riding, Style-focused buyers

Price and variants

Ex-showroom Delhi list prices from the manufacturer. On-road for your city is in the panel above.

The Scrambler 900 comes in a single variant at ₹10,74,700 ex-showroom Delhi, so there is no trim ladder to climb: every Scrambler 900 leaves the showroom with the same equipment.

That makes it priced 103th lowest among the 148 sports bikes we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Scrambler Icon (₹12,286 more) and the CB750 Hornet (₹25,700 less).

On the road in Delhi the base Scrambler 900 comes to ₹12.07 Lakh: ₹10,74,700 ex-showroom, ₹93,976 in Delhi road tax and registration (8.7%), ₹38,504 for first-year insurance. Dealers add handling and accessory packs on top; both are negotiable.

Engine and ride

The 900cc liquid-cooled engine makes 64.1 bhp and 80 Nm through a 5 Speed. With a kerb weight of 223 kg that is 287 bhp per tonne, 56th best power-to-weight of the 146 bikes in this class we have reviewed.

Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.

Chassis hardware includes dual-channel ABS and traction control, with a disc, 310 mm, 4 piston caliper up front and disc, 255 mm, 2 piston caliper at the rear.

At 790 mm the seat is average for the class; most riders from 5'5" up will be comfortable at stops.

Our review

Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.

Verdict

The Scrambler 900 offers classic Triumph twin character and scrambler styling at a lower price than the 1200, but it does so by trimming the electronics and suspension hardware that make the bigger bike stand out. It is a simpler bike for a simpler budget.

Riding it every day

The 64.1bhp twin is smooth and torquey enough for relaxed city and highway riding, and at 223kg it stays manageable in traffic. The twin rear shocks and 157.5mm ground clearance handle typical Indian road imperfections adequately, though the absence of a slipper clutch and USD forks is noticeable if you have ridden the Scrambler 1200 or Daytona 660 back to back.

What to know before buying

Triumph's dealer network covers this platform across major Indian cities, and running costs should be predictable given the shared parts with other Bonneville-based twins. Cross-shop carefully against rivals like the CB750 Hornet and MT-09, which offer more power at similar or lower prices.

Who should buy it

This suits a rider who wants scrambler styling and Triumph's twin-cylinder feel without needing the 1200's off-road hardware or price tag. It is a reasonable choice for relaxed daily riding and occasional weekend trips, less compelling for anyone prioritising outright performance per rupee.

Features

  • Dual-channel ABS
  • Front disc brake
  • Rear disc brake
  • Tubeless tyres
  • Traction control
  • Side-stand engine cut-off
  • Hazard lamps
  • LED daytime running lamp
  • LED tail lamp
  • Digital console
  • +3 more

On safety kit the Scrambler 900 has dual-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres, traction control, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. Dual-channel ABS is the one item on this list worth paying for if it is variant-dependent.

What it lacks: alloy wheels, usd front forks, slipper clutch and led headlamp, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.

It is offered in 3 colours: Carnival Red / Jet Black, Matt Khaki and Jet Black. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Warranty, service and ownership

Standard warranty is 2 years, unlimited km.

Triumph runs a limited sales and service network in India, at roughly 150 touchpoints. Check the nearest workshop before buying if you live outside a metro; a 40 km ride for every service adds up.

On sale since 2022, the Scrambler 900 is established enough that early production issues have been worked through and used examples give a fair read on resale.

About ₹12.07 Lakh for the base variant in Delhi: ₹10,74,700 ex-showroom plus ₹93,976 in Delhi road tax and registration and ₹38,504 for first-year insurance. Figure from dealer quotes, updated monthly; handling and accessory packs can add more.

Claimed mileage is 23 kmpl. Real-world figures are usually 15–25% lower.
How much does the Scrambler 900 cost to run per month?
Fuel works out to about ₹4.12 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹3,215 a month before servicing.
What is the EMI for the Scrambler 900?
With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹34,080 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.
What is the engine capacity and power of the Scrambler 900?
It uses a 900cc engine producing 64.1 bhp and 80 Nm, with a 5 speed.
Is the Scrambler 900 suitable for short riders?
Yes. Seat height is 790 mm, low for the class, so riders around 5'2" and above can reach the ground comfortably.
Scrambler 900 or Scrambler Icon: which is better?
The Scrambler Icon is ₹12,286 more expensive to start and less efficient at 19 kmpl against 23 kmpl. Pick the Scrambler 900 for classic-style commuting, the Scrambler Icon for first ducati ownership. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.
Which bikes are cheaper than the Scrambler 900?
Among the 148 sports bikes we have reviewed, the Pulsar 125 (₹93,507), the MT-15 V2 (₹1.68 Lakh), the Roadster (₹2.02 Lakh) start lower.
Is the Scrambler 900 too basic compared to rivals at this price?
It typically carries fewer electronic features than rivals like the CB750 Hornet or F900R at similar money, so buyers focused on equipment lists should compare carefully, though the Scrambler makes up ground on styling and Triumph's twin-cylinder character.
Can the Scrambler 900 handle a pillion on longer highway rides?
It manages two-up riding reasonably well thanks to the twin rear shocks and relaxed 790mm seat height, though the 5-speed gearbox and 64.1bhp output mean sustained high-speed overtaking with a pillion needs more planning than on the 1200cc Scrambler.
