The 2026 BSA Scrambler 650 is an off-road-styled sibling to the Gold Star, sharing its 652cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine producing 45 hp and 55 Nm of torque through a 5-speed gearbox with slipper clutch. A larger 19-inch front wheel, 187mm ground clearance, and 820mm seat height give it a more upright, scrambler-oriented stance than the road-focused Gold Star.
