2019 Triumph Street Scrambler | First Look Review
2019 Street Scrambler in Cranberry Red.
Just two years after its launch as part of Triumph’s lineup of modern classics powered by its liquid-cooled 900cc High Torque parallel twin, the Street Scrambler is getting several performance updates, as well as a handful of design changes.

Big news is a 10-horsepower bump in power, for a claimed peak of 65, and a 500-rpm higher redline, now at 7,500. The 59 lb-ft claimed peak torque is delivered at just 3,200 rpm for optimum real-world performance.

Engine updates also include a new magnesium cam cover, a new lightweight crankshaft, dead shafts and balance shafts, a new mass-optimized clutch cover and a new lighter torque-assist clutch. It also gets a new Brembo 4-piston front brake caliper and a new cartridge-style fork with more widely-spaced stanchions for a more aggressive stance.
Four-piston Brembo front caliper should improve brake bite and feel.
New technology updates include Road and Rain riding modes, which adjust the throttle map and traction control but not power output. Traction control and ABS are both switchable.
The Street Scrambler underwent a minor style refresh to go along with its new performance enhancements. The number plate-style side panel now has new graphics and a more contemporary logo...
