BSA's Mahindra-backed revival brings three 2026 models built on heritage designs: the liquid-cooled 344cc Bantam 350 inspired by the post-WWII original, the 652cc DOHC Gold Star 650 (45hp), and an off-road Scrambler 650 variant with a taller seat height and rally tires, all pitched as honoring BSA's manufacturing and racing legacy dating back to 1861.

A 652cc DOHC making 45hp on the spec sheet reads like a solidly modern-road-tuned effort compared to the old model. Reviving under Mahindra with three models at once is a scale that gets me too.

Was BSA a really big deal brand back in the day?

This lineup is going to go head-to-head with Royal Enfield's customer base

There've been a few of these Mahindra-backed revivals before, hope this one actually sticks

45hp from a 652cc DOHC is modest by modern standards, but I get the intent

Reviving the Gold Star name is almost too much for my heart
