2020 Triumph Street Scrambler

The Triumph Street Scrambler shares much with the Street Twin stablemate, but nestles its toes in the sand for some good dirty fun. It is powered by the same character-rich 900cc 270-degree-crank Bonnie engine, but it swaps the low-slung exhausts for “swan neck” duals for a scrambler-vibe and purpose. Spoked rims wrapped in dual-purpose rubber, a larger 19-inch front wheel, a wider spaced fork, wider handlebar, as well as off-road-friendly electronics further round out the multifaceted machine. The Street Scrambler pairs its full-bodied character with modern retro good looks for a wonderful taste of what it means to be a modern scrambler.

2020 Triumph Street Scrambler Reviews, Comparisons, And Competition

The recently revised 2019 Street Scrambler claimed test rider’s praise for the exhaust and its note: “The exhaust note of the Scrambler is more noticeable, again, adding a sprinkle of character, and, chasing a pair of them as the sun went down, I’d say the view from the rear of that distinctive high-level exhaust is memorable. It operates with a sweet-natured efficiency. It’s user-friendly in the extreme.”

Competition includes the Ducati Scrambler Icon, Husqvarna Svartpilen 701, and BMW RnineT Scrambler.
