BSA has revealed its new Bantam ‘Dual Rebellion’ range at EICMA 2026 in Milan, with the Bantam Bobber 350 and Bantam Scrambler 350 adding two distinct personalities to the British brand’s growing modern-classic line-up. Both new models are powered by a 334cc liquid-cooled, DOHC single-cylinder engine, building on the existing Bantam 350 platform while taking the styling in very different directions.

The BSA Bantam Bobber 350 is designed around the solo riding experience, with a low-slung stance, factory-custom bobber styling and a single-seat layout. BSA describes it as a motorcycle focused on individuality and escaping the everyday, with the compact single-cylinder engine intended to deliver accessible performance and light handling.

The standard Bobber features telescopic front forks and dual-channel ABS. BSA also showcased a special-edition Bantam Bobber 350 SP, finished in dark chrome and featuring gold upside-down forks, 16-inch spoked wheels with a chunky front tyre and a full-colour TFT display. The SP specification gives the Bobber a premium, custom-inspired appearance. Joining it is the BSA Bantam Scrambler 350, which takes inspiration from the original 1966 BSA Bushman – a stripped-back, high-clearance machine developed for rougher terrain.

The new Scrambler combines the 334cc liquid-cooled DOHC engine with telescopic hydraulic forks, twin rear shock absorbers and dual-channel ABS. Spoked wheels and semi-knobby tyres reinforce its scrambler styling, while BSA says revised gearing and accessible low- and mid-range torque are intended to provide sharp throttle response and everyday usability.

Available in Black, Green and Grey, the Scrambler is described as lightweight and agile, with a design intended to bridge urban riding and more adventurous excursions. BSA says the new engine has been developed to reduce weight and increase power, although detailed output figures have not yet been provided in the supplied announcement.

“The expansion of our 350cc range with the all-new Bobber and Scrambler models is perfect for the Australian market and we are also proud to offer two new iconic Gold Star colours Birmingham Blue and Brooklands Black” said Jeff Leisk, Managing Director of BSA Importer, LMI.

The two new Bantams represent an expansion of the category that has become an important part of BSA’s modern range. The existing Bantam 350, launched in 2025, has reportedly performed strongly in the UK and European modern-classic markets. Its latest colour addition is Mist Green, a finish intended to pay tribute to the original Bantam introduced in 1948.

More colour across the BSA range

Alongside the new motorcycles, BSA used EICMA to introduce additional colour options across several existing models. The BSA Thunderbolt 350 receives three new combinations: Black and Yellow, Grey, and Green and Ivory. First shown at EICMA 2025, the Thunderbolt is BSA’s adventure-oriented model, drawing on the original Thunderbolt tourer while adopting rally-inspired styling. Its equipment includes traction control and three ABS modes. BSA says the Thunderbolt, along with the new Bantam models, is scheduled to reach markets in 2027.

The BSA Gold Star 650 also gains further colour choices, following the introduction of Birmingham Blue and Brooklands Black. The 652cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder modern-retro roadster was first introduced in its current form in 2021.

For the BSA Scrambler 650, the 2027 colour range includes Deep Green, Black Chrome and Gloss Black, joining the existing Victor Yellow. Launched in July 2025, the Scrambler 650 is designed for both road and off-road use, with Brembo brakes, dual-channel ABS and Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres.

BSA’s next chapter

BSA traces its origins to Birmingham in 1861 and was once the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer. Following the brand’s revival in 2016 by Classic Legends, part of the Mahindra Group, the company has been steadily rebuilding its international presence with a range of modern motorcycles drawing on its historic identity.

The latest Bantam models continue that approach, using familiar BSA names and styling influences while incorporating contemporary engines and equipment. Both are Euro 5+ compliant, according to the company. Anupam Thareja, Co-founder of Classic Legends, said the Bobber and Scrambler represented two different interpretations of the Bantam concept, with one focused on individuality and the other on exploration. The new models and updated colour schemes underline BSA’s intention to broaden its appeal across several motorcycle categories.

The Bantam Bobber 350 and Scrambler 350 are expected to arrive in markets during 2027, with further specifications and market details to be confirmed. The Thunderbolt 350 is also heading to Australia, with the adventure-oriented model expected to join BSA’s local range in 2027.
