Our take on this /// Verdict

The BMW R nineT Scrambler is a motorcycle that seamlessly blends classic design with modern technology, making it a compelling choice for those who appreciate both style and performance. The 1170cc airoil-cooled boxer twin engine delivers a robust 109 HP and 116 Nm of torque, providing ample power for both city riding and more adventurous terrain. The bikes handling is agile and responsive, especially in twisty roads, where it feels almost like a supersport bike despite its scrambler designation. However, its not without its quirks the protruding cylinder heads can be a concern in tight turns, and the lack of luggage space might limit its touring capabilities. Despite these minor issues, the R nineT Scramblers solid build quality, feature-rich package including cornering ABS and cruise control, and its unmistakable sound make it a joy to ride. For those who value a unique riding experience and are willing to pay a premium, the R nineT Scrambler is an excellent choice.

Latest Updates

Sunday, 05 November 2023 08:21 PM BMW Motorrad has extended its range of accessories for the R nineT models, including the Scrambler, with the introduction of the “Machined” range of customizing parts. This allows owners to personalize their bikes further, which is a great option for those who love to customize. I believe this will be a hit among Indian bikers who enjoy tweaking their rides.

Wednesday, 30 August 2023 08:32 AM For the 2023 model year, the BMW R nineT Scrambler has been retained in its existing form but with a notable price reduction of $500. This move is likely to make the bike more appealing to potential buyers in the Indian market. I think this price cut is a smart move by BMW to stay competitive.

Tuesday, 30 August 2022 01:32 PM In 2021, BMW Motorrad made several technical modifications to the R nineT family, including the Scrambler, and significantly extended the range of standard and optional equipment. This update aimed to enhance the performance and customization options of the bike. I think these updates have made the R nineT Scrambler a more attractive option for Indian riders looking for a versatile bike.

Sunday, 14 June 2015 06:33 PM BMW Motorrad presented the R nineT Scrambler as part of their interpretation of a scrambler bike, first showcased at the Wheels & Waves Festival in Biarritz in 2015. This model has since become popular for its classic enduro outfit and boxer engine feel. I believe the Scramblers unique design has helped it stand out in the Indian market.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 08:18 PM The mileage of the BMW R nineT Scrambler is approximately 19.60 kmpl, which is reasonable given its powerful engine and the type of riding it is designed for. While this may not be the most fuel-efficient option, the bikes performance-oriented nature means that fuel economy is not its primary focus. For riders who prioritize the thrill of the ride and the unique characteristics of the boxer twin engine, the mileage is acceptable. However, for those who plan to use the bike for long-distance touring or daily commuting where fuel efficiency is crucial, other options might be more suitable.

Ex Showroom Price vs On Road Price	Ex-Showroom Price is the Manufacturing Cost of the vehicle + Dealer/Seller Profit + GST (Goods and Service Tax) + Transportation Charges (from the manufacturing plant to the dealership). On the other hand, the On-Road Price is the actual cost you pay to the dealership to make the vehicle legal to run on the roads. It includes Ex-Showroom Price in your city + RTO Charges (Vehicle Registration) + One Time Road Tax + Insurance Charges. The On-Road Price also includes some optional things like if you opt for Genuine Accessories and Extended Warranty while buying a vehicle. Please note that the On-Road Price varies a lot across different states in India due to different percentage for the State Registration Charges.
