It seems this has some how to become a little lost, so here are some check points to work towards listed in order of my personal opinion of importance: NOT GOOGLE SEARCH “bike model scrambler”.įrom the beginning, the off roader’s wanted a lighter handling bike, well balanced with good bottom end and ground clearance. So what are the targets you should be aiming to hit if you’re looking to Build a scrambler? As always you should take your queues from bikes built by those who know best (Manufacturers + Racers), Old Enduro and VMX bikes as well as your modern Motocrosser’s. These enduro bikes evolved into what you see today tearing Supercross tracks apart.Ĭheck out this Video of some 60’s British racing gold. Better ground clearance, more suspension travel, and the thinner more padded seat/tank section. As you would imagine these guys quickly realized that their road bikes were no good and needed some modification, the industry eventually reacted with Knobby tyres and the release of enduro style bikes. The shortest distance might have been the toughest terrain but, if you could handle it, you won. Last chance, if alternatively, you’re looking for a cafe racer, check out our cafe racer parts guide here.īack in 19-Dickety-3 some mad Brit racers took their road bikes into a paddock and started racing time trails with a start and end point and no real track. Purpose is the center of our universe after all. So I wanted to take a look at what makes a good scrambler and more importantly why that is. I won’t claim to have ever built the perfect off-road machine, but jeez you gotta at least try. Previously to this, I was seeing a huge surge in heavy road bikes having the tyres swapped out for Knobbys, a set of tracker bars slapped on and branded a Scrambler. As things go I’ve had a run of Scrambler bikes come through the garage recently which got me thinking on just how these bikes came about and why. They have history, a story and their own little ticks that you grow to love. Why is it so that you can’t get enough of them? PERSONALITY is the word. Everybody loves them, they are outdated, rattly, and perform pretty horribly in comparison to modern motorcycles.
