Z900RS 2026 vs Scrambler 1200 X 2026

If straight-line speed is your priority, the Z900RS takes the lead. With 26 HP more than the Scrambler 1200 X, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Z900RS has a clear advantage. Weighing in 12kg less than the Scrambler 1200 X, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Scrambler 1200 X. Its seat height is 15mm lower than the Z900RS, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the z900rs offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
