In recent years, retro styled bikes have proved very popular again, and this very much includes the return of Scramblers! 

Whether you’re looking to purchase your first or maybe your next Scrambler, or you’re just curious about some good picks for 2025, this blog will take you down a top 10 list, from off-road legends to stylish street machines. 

So, grab your helmet, and let's hit the trail! 

Stealing hearts on the list today is the thrilling CCM Maverick…

With a spritely engine and robust frame, this is definitely a standout scrambler-style bike due to its ability to transition incredibly between on- and off-road riding. With a 600cc engine, 55bhp, and 43 ft-lb of torque, this impressive ride ensures strong performance while also being lightweight and light handling at 150kg! 

Are you craving that off-road capability? The updated suspension system and knobby tires make it both comfortable and stable for your next urban commute or weekend trail adventure. The CCM Maverick also offers customisable options to add a layer of individuality to the bike.

If you're after a bike as rebellious as it looks, the CCM Maverick could be your new best friend, but all of this comes at the hefty sum of £12,595.  However, bear in mind CCM have very recently gone into administration, so you may want to be quick if you’re after one! 

Up in eighth on the list and making a strong impression is the Triumph Scrambler 900. 
The 900cc parallel twin engine powers up to 65hp and 80Nm of torque. The engines torque rich delivery makes it an incredibly fun ride. 

It features long travel suspension, a comfortable up right riding position and Brembo brakes for confident stopping power. The dual purpose tires and cartridge forks also deliver top riding over any uneven paths. 
This scrambler has the perfect balance of classic looks and everyday practicality. If you’re looking for that little bit more it has an option of over 120 accessories offering more rugged, scrambler style, protection, comfort, luggage and security. 

For newer riders or those looking for an A2 licence compatible option, the Triumph has the scrambler 400 X, a lightweight, accessible version, still bringing the scrambler spirit. 

If you’re after a scrambler that doesn’t just look the part but also rides with purpose its this one. Priced from £9,795 it sits in the more premium end of the retro price range, but you’re getting serious comfort, heritage and power for the money.

 Up next we have the Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail…

The Leoncino 800 Trail is another model from the Pesaro-based manufacturer, bringing out the authenticity of the Leoncino line concept. 

With its raised double exhaust and 19-inch front wheel this bike has what it takes to tackle the off-road smoothly. Roaring in confidence with its 754cc and 81.6HP engine, you’ll be flying in no time. With its knobby tires, updated suspension, and braking system, this bike is practically begging for a good old dust-up on the dirt trails. 

From what I can see it looks like the Trail version of the Leoncino 800 has come to an end though you can pick up a pre-registered one still at £6,299.

Say hello to this American original Beauty that is the FTR 1200 Rally, a bike inspired by track roots (Flat Track) adding a dose of rugged style and of course functionality. With its 1203cc engine, it’s got more than enough power to get your hearts racing.

The bike's higher ground clearance and sturdy tyres are made to handle dirt and gravel offering stability and grip for back road riding, giving it that unmistakable Scrambler aesthetic.  It’s not just a bike but a powerful machine with true off-road spirit if you want the MAIN event… you have it right here. 

Now, I hate to break it to you but starting at £14,995 the 1200 Rally isn’t exactly a budget bike, but like I say those of you who are looking for all-in-one it’s well worth the investment – this really is a special and very powerful offering on this list. 

Coming in at number five we have the BMW R12 NineT. Now admittedly it is not like the days not so long ago with the RnineT Scrambler, already packaged ready to go. With the R12 Nine T, it really only takes more scrambler form going through the BMW configurator, where you can add on the extras such as the Classic II spoked wheels, titanium exhaust etc just be prepared for quite a price.

This is a bike that doesn’t follow its role models…and quite easily, takes centre stage. The design? Spot on, that minimalist rugged vibe makes it look like it can handle some serious off-roading, but let's be honest it's probably more about the style than the dirty adventures…The golden upside-down fork, chrome-plated header, and numerous aluminium parts, every inch make for an unforgettable experience. 

Amongst many updated features, the boxer engine, fortunately, stays the same with 1,170cc and 109hp and delivers as per usual. Additionally, the three riding modes allow you to choose whichever best suits the journey ahead. 

Last but not least, the price tag… yep, it is admittedly on the more expensive side, starting at £14,420, when you start to add those extras though don’t be shocked to see it closer to the £20k mark. 

Time-travelling back to the seventies with the Caballero 500 at number four, this legendary scrambler is a truly timeless icon. 

Coming equipped with a 449cc, single-cylinder, 4-valve, liquid-cooled engine the Caballero 500 is capable of producing 40hp and 43 Nm @ 6000 rpm of torque. Is this one of the most powerful offerings on our list today? No, but if you are looking for a true Scrambler in looks and styling then this may be the one for you.

The Caballero is a true dual sport bike, and not only does it give you a seamless yet powerful time, but it also has an Italian vintage look bringing character to the roads. The shiny red fuel tank, chrome steel central tube frame, and twin-pipe exhaust make this a unique bike. 

Price-wise, it sits at £3,899 making it the most affordable offerings on our list today, and for the style of bike who can say no? 

Ducati are one of the leading brands in the Scrambler scene, and you can pretty much take your pick of gorgeous Italian scramblers they have available. New or used, for this entry though we are looking at the recently introduced stripped-down, timeless Icon Dark. So, let's talk about it…

With its matte black finish and minimalist look it is edgy without being too overwhelming. Powering the Icon Dark we have an 803cc, 73hp engine, and lightweight chassis, making it agile and responsive in all different riding conditions.

For a scrambler, it's got all the kick you need for city streets and fun on the backroads with a low centre of gravity, making it excel in manoeuvrability. The Icon Dark also comes equipped with modern technology with a 4.3-inch TFT display that particularly stands out in my eyes, giving you all the vital information on a nice clear dash. 

Starting from £9,495, this bike is still not inexpensive however a more reasonably priced high-quality scrambler for sure.

Built on the same reliable platform as the Rebel 500, the CL500 features a 471cc parallel twin engine delivering 46hp and 43Nm of torque making it A2 licence friendly and approachable for the newer riders. Don’t be fooled though as it still has more than enough power for longer rides and off-road trails too. 

The rugged, go anywhere design sets this one aside and with a well-balanced chassis and slipper clutch it takes the stress right out of downshifts for an all in all enjoyable experience. 

Honda is renowned for its reliability and the CL500 is no exception, it’s a bike that feels solidly put together and easy to maintain. At £5,699, it’s also not too badly priced if I do say so myself!

Taking our number one top spot today we have the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE Icon Edition…

 The New Triumph 1200 XE Icon Edition has a modernised classic appeal with the capability to tackle the most rugged of roads. It’s incredible performance, capability, and style with its low seat heights and off-road practicality, the XE is the ultimate scrambler! 

Its beastly 1200cc Bonneville engine and 110 NM peak means you can expect a lot of fun from this beastie. Meanwhile, the optimised chassis geometry and high-specification suspension help offer great handling in even more rougher conditions. The Icon Edition is absolutely dripping in style with the combination of paint styles, enhanced by the gold lining giving it that exclusive feel and unmistakable presence.

However, this is all shown in the price of £13,295, which is quite a considerable amount more expensive than some of the other offerings we mention on this list I know. However, You really are getting a high-spec highly rated scrambler highly deserving of the number 1 spot on today’s list.

And there you have it - ten scramblers that bring serious style, power, and versatility to the table. So, what are you waiting for? The road is all yours!
