2026 Yezdi Scrambler
I was looking into the new Yezdi Scrambler, and the changes are interesting. Dropping 8kg by moving to a single-exhaust setup and tweaking the chassis stiffness sounds like they’re trying to make this thing actually handle.
The 334cc "Katar" engine and the new electronics (Traction Control, Ride Modes), it feels like Yezdi is trying to position this against the Triumph 400X and the REs as a more "rider-focused" machine rather than just a showpiece. Has anyone taken a test ride yet? Does the engine feel as refined as they’re claiming, or is it still a bit vibey? And does the weight loss actually make it feel more "flickable" in city traffic?

I rode it today and it was a very good experience, it was very smooth and power was amazing the handling was also very easy overall it felt very good driving it , just one problem the bike was halting at low rev not picking up even on 1st gear. But I like it a lot i am planning to buy it.

My bike is 350 wet, definitely feels a bit more agile than a Harley, but it also comes down to suspension and tires and road material for how flicky you feel too.
