About

The Yamaha SCR950 Scrambler is built on the platform of the Yamaha Bolt, but with significant changes to ergonomics, seating position, and aesthetics. It features a 942cc V-twin engine that is tuned for low-end torque, making it ideal for cruising and light off-road adventures. The bike has a motocross-style handlebar, mid-mount footpegs, and a thinly padded bench seat that, while hard, provides a classic scrambler feel. The suspension includes a 41mm telescopic fork and dual piggyback shocks, which offer a smooth ride but can be harsh over rough terrain. The SCR950 also comes with Bridgestone knobby tires and a belt drive, which, while not ideal for serious off-road use, adds to the bikes low-maintenance appeal. With its retro styling, including old-school fork gaiters and an LED rear taillight, the SCR950 is a visually appealing bike that combines the best of both cruiser and scrambler worlds.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Yamaha SCR950 Scrambler is a unique blend of cruiser and scrambler elements, and my experience with it has been a mixed bag. On one hand, the bikes low-end torque is exceptional, making it a joy to ride on twisty roads and even some dirt trails. The 942cc V-twin engine provides ample power and a smooth, cruisy ride that is perfect for sub-60 mph cruising. However, the bikes weight and ergonomics can be a bit of a challenge, especially for tighter turns and off-road adventures. The suspension, while compliant, can be harsh over rough terrain, and the brakes, though adequate, lack strong stopping power. Despite these limitations, the SCR950 has a certain charm that makes it hard to ignore, especially for those who value its retro aesthetic and the fun of riding a bike that feels connected to the road.

Price

In India, the Yamaha SCR950 Scrambler was not officially launched, so there is no official ex-showroom or on-road price available. However, if we consider the global pricing as a reference, the SCR950 was priced around 8,699 in the US. If it were to be launched in India, the price would likely be significantly higher due to import duties and taxes. An estimated ex-showroom price could be in the range of 7-9 lakhs, and the on-road price would be around 9-12 lakhs, depending on the state and local taxes. This makes it a premium offering, but the unique blend of scrambler and cruiser features might justify the cost for enthusiasts looking for a distinctive ride.

Latest Updates

Saturday, 31 August 2024 06:14 PM The 2025 Yamaha SCR950 Scrambler is expected to be priced around Rs 11 lakh in India, making it a competitive option in the scrambler segment. This price includes modern features like an LCD speedometer and LED lights, along with its powerful 942cc V-twin engine. I think this pricing is quite attractive for those looking for a blend of retro style and modern performance.

Saturday, 17 August 2024 04:26 PM Yamaha has confirmed that the SCR950 Scrambler will be available in two colour options in India: Charcoal Silver and Rapid Red. The bikes design pays homage to classic Yamaha models while incorporating contemporary elements. The colour choices should appeal to a wide range of buyers.

The bike also comes equipped with advanced safety technologies such as ABS and traction control, enhancing its versatility and safety. This makes it a great option for both seasoned riders and newcomers.

Thursday, 20 June 2024 08:12 AM The SCR950 Scrambler is powered by a 942cc air-cooled SOHC 4-stroke V-twin engine, producing maximum torque at 3000 rpm. This engine is known for its reliability and character, making it ideal for gentle cruising. The bikes engine is also under-stressed, reducing the likelihood of major faults.

Enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting its official launch, given its unique blend of retro aesthetics and modern functionality. I believe this bike will attract a lot of attention in the Indian market.

Wednesday, 10 April 2024 12:45 AM The SCR950 Scrambler has a long wheelbase of 1575 mm and measures 2250 mm in length, with a high seat height of 32.7 inches. This design, along with its 100/90-19 front and 140/80-17 rear tyres, provides optimum grip levels and a comfortable riding posture.

Monday, 25 March 2024 04:29 PM The bikes braking duties are handled by 298 mm front and rear single disc brakes, ensuring robust stopping power. Additionally, the SCR950 comes with a 12-liter fuel tank, which is sufficient for both city rides and short off-road adventures.

Tuesday, 20 February 2024 12:20 PM Yamahas decision to revive the SCR950 Scrambler has been seen as a strategic move to tap into the growing scrambler market in India. The bikes unique design and modern features are expected to appeal to a diverse range of riders. I think this is a smart move by Yamaha to expand its market share.

Monday, 15 January 2024 09:18 AM The SCR950 Scrambler rivals other popular bikes in the segment, including the Harley-Davidson Iron 883 and the Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark. Its competitive pricing and feature set make it a strong contender in the Indian market.

Sunday, 10 December 2023 12:36 AM The bikes retro design elements, such as the teardrop fuel tank and high-mounted exhaust, are complemented by modern touches like LED lighting and an advanced digital display. This blend of old and new is expected to be a major selling point for the SCR950 Scrambler in India.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 03:32 AM When it comes to mileage, the Yamaha SCR950 Scrambler is not particularly frugal. With its large 942cc V-twin engine, the bike is designed more for power and torque rather than fuel efficiency. In real-world conditions, you can expect a mileage of around 15-20 kml, which is typical for a bike of this size and type. This means running costs will be higher, especially if you plan to use it for long rides or daily commuting. However, for those who prioritize the riding experience over fuel efficiency, the SCR950 still offers a compelling package.
