2019 TRIUMPH STREET SCRAMBLER
Street
Scrambler
S
ince its inception for the 2017 model year,
the Triumph Street Scrambler has been
known as a fantastic motorcycle, one of the
most potent "scramblers" on the market, if you
will. The best part? Triumph announced at this
year's Intermot show that it will receive a host of
influential upgrades for 2019.
Triumph's engine department had to do with a
large portion of the Street Scrambler's updates.
This means that the 900cc SOHC twin-cylinder
engine sees a 10-horsepower boost (now up to a
claimed 65 hp) and gets an extra 500 rpm before
hitting its rev limiter. Selectable riding modes (Rain
and Road) have also been added to the Scram-
bler's package, which complements the switch-
able ABS and traction control systems that are
carried over from the previous iteration.
Aimed at extracting more off-road prowess out
of the Scrambler, Triumph fitted the motorcycle
with "higher-specification" cartridge forks up front,
which offer a full 4.7 inches of travel to tackle the
gravel fire roads. A new four-piston Brembo brake
caliper has also been fitted to the Scrambler to
improve stopping power. Both of these upgrades
were ones that we longed for since our first miles
on the Street Scrambler.
The 2019 model year sees the Triumph Street
Scrambler available in three colorways—Fusion
White, Cranberry Red or Khaki Green and Matte
Aluminum. These distinctive colors complement a
number of slight visual changes, including a more
contemporary logo, premium instrument styling,
and a more adventure-oriented seat finish. An
Urban Tracker kit is also offered for those wanting
to further separate the Street Scrambler from the
rest. This includes a 6.6-gallon pannier, Vance &
Hines slip-on muffler, black handlebar brace, num-
ber plate kit, and many other small pieces. CN
