Dubbed Scrambler Sixty2, the new machine is motivated by a 399cc engine, which offers half of the standard Scrambler’s 803cc displacement, while the rest of the bike is pretty close to its more serious sibling. While the normal Scrambler has an 88mm bore and a 66mm stroke, the 399cc version changes that to a 72 x 49mm setup, whilst offering the same air-cooled L-Twin configuration. A somewhat similar halving scheme is applied to the output, with the Scrambler’s 75 hp and 50 lb-ft (68 Nm) of twist being scaled down to 41 hp and 25 lb-ft (34 Nm) of torque. In terms of the chassis, the steel trellis frame is kept, but unlike in the case of the normal Scrambler’s inverted Kayaba fork, the Sixty2 packs a normal-position Showa Fork. There’s a Kayaba rear damper that can be adjusted for preload, while the wheel travel of 5.9 inches (150mm), offered at both ends of the bike, mirror that of the original bike. The same can be said about the 4.4 inches (112mm) of trail and the 24-degree rake angle, but the wheelbase has jumped 0.6 inches (152mm) to 57.5 inches (146mm) for the all-important, especially for the targeted riders, stability. Sure, the engine might follow the scheme mentioned above, but when it comes to the scales, the Sixty2 sits at 403 lbs (182 kg) in wet form, which means it’s only 8 lbs (3.6 kg) lighter compared to the standard Scrambler. -
