India is one of the largest markets in the world for two-wheelers. We have several Indian and international brands present in this segment, with a variety of options for customers to choose from. Over the years, customers’ tastes have also shifted, and they are now ready to accept other types of motorcycles. One such segment that has seen growth over the years is scramblers. They are like the crossovers of motorcycles that can handle both on-road and light off-roading. They are suitable for many Indian cities where there are a lot of potholes and broken roads. Here we have a list of 10 scrambler motorcycles that one can buy in India.
The Keeway SR 250 is a neo-retro scrambler that was launched back in 2023. It is one of the more affordable scrambler motorcycles one can buy in India. The Keeway SR 250 gets a basic design with round headlamps, telescopic forks, disc brakes, dual-channel ABS, a minimalistic design, and more.
