BSA Bantam gets pair of Bobber and Scrambler 350 models

BSA Motorcycles has expanded its best-selling Bantam platform with the reveal of a new Bobber 350 and Scrambler 350, which joined the company’s new Thunderbolt 350 adventure bike on stage at EICMA. 

At the heart of both models is the same 334cc single that powers their Bantam 350 sibling, while the Bobber 350 makes use of upside-down front forks, and a monoshock at the rear with seven-step adjustable preload.

The Scrambler 350 gains telescopic hydraulic forks and a twin shock absorber with five-step adjustable preload. 

The existing Bantam 350 produces 29bhp at 7,750rpm alongside 21.8 Ib-ft of torque at 6,000rpm, while BSA claims a power output of 28.22 hp (27.8bhp) at 8,000rpm and 19.4 Ib-ft of torque at the same 6,000rpm for the Bobber 350.

The new Bantam Scrambler 350 is tuned for slightly more performance, delivering a claimed 29 hp (28.6bhp) at 8,100rpm and 22.1 Ib-ft of torque at 6,750rpm. Fuel capacity is also different between the two models, with the Bobber 350 able to hold 13.2 litres, while the Scrambler 350 has a full capacity of 12.5 litres. 

The standard Bobber 350 will be joined by a special edition version in dark chrome, boasting gold upside-down forks, 16-inch spoked wheels, and a full-colour TFT display screen.

Meanwhile, the new Bantam Scrambler 350 takes inspiration from the original 1966 BSA Bushman. The Scrambler 350’s new engine is designed specifically to reduce weight and deliver increased power.

The new model will be available in three colourways; Black, Green and Grey, while also featuring spoked wheels and semi-knobby tyres.

Speaking about the new models, Anupam Thareja, Co-founder of Classic Legends Pvt Ltd, which owns BSA, said:  

“Today we introduce the world to another exciting chapter for BSA: the new Bantam ‘Dual Rebellion’, two bikes that redefine what a Bantam can be. The Bantam Bobber 350 stands for rebellion through individuality, and the Bantam Scrambler 350 stands for rebellion through exploration. Both are built on our best-selling Bantam 350 and share its values of inclusivity, purity of design, respect for the past and a real passion for riding. Above all, they share one aim: to get more people riding. 

“None of this would be possible without our Italian distributors, PELPI International, with whom we’ve had an amazing first year. Together we’ve brought BSA to new riders across Italy, and we’re excited to build on that momentum. The BSA story is only just getting started. Our team is constantly evolving existing models and developing new motorcycles, and we’re committed to growing BSA’s global footprint until we have a bike in every segment.”

Additionally, the new Thunderbolt 350 adventure bike, first unveiled at EICMA 2025, has also received three new colour options, including Black and Yellow, Grey, and Green and Ivory.

The new Thunderbolt will also hit the market in 2027 alongside the new Bantam 350 motorcycles. Finally, BSA confirmed new colour options aboard its Scrambler 650; Deep 

Green, Black Chrome and Gloss Black, as well as the existing Victor Yellow.
