Which one is for you?

If you are someone looking for an adventure bike that can both get around town and take on bad roads, these two bikes will do the trick. However, what varies is when it comes down to the smallest details. The Himalayan takes the lead when you have to navigate difficult trails. The 21-inch wheels would definitely help control heavy bumps.

However, if you don’t need to tackle very, very difficult terrain and prefer to take your bike for occasional off-road rides, the Scram becomes a better choice, thanks to its ease of movement. The lower weight is useful around town as well as when maneuvering on off-road trails.
