Norton Reveals New 650cc Scrambler Concept

Norton Motorcycles will be developing two variants of the Scrambler, the road-going street scrambler and the off-road dual-purpose variant. Both the models will be equipped with a 17-inch rear wheel. The front wheel of the road-going model will measure 18-inch, whereas the dual-purpose model will get a bigger 19-inch wheel.

Norton states that the design of the 650cc Scrambler will be sturdy enough to ride through rough terrain and even endure minor falls. The company will use top-spec components during the production of the motorcycle.

The Norton Scrambler concept will draw power from a 650cc parallel-twin engine producing 100bhp. The same engine will be used in several other models with a wide band of power output ranging from 70bhp to a whopping 172bhp which will be a supercharged version.

On the design front, the Norton Scrambler features a classic look with the round headlamp and teardrop fuel tank design. The concept motorcycle will also be equipped with modern technology such as traction control and ABS.
