2019 Triumph Street Scrambler | First Ride Review
The lion’s share of the Street Scrambler’s power bump is in the mid-to-high-end, making highway passes easier and reducing the need to downshift in corners. Photos by Kingdom Creative.
Triumph’s 2017 Street Scrambler, powered by the 900cc “High-Torque” parallel twin used in the Street Twin, rolled into the gap left by the departure of the previous generation Scrambler two years ago. With less weight, more power and a slightly modernized look, it has proven to be a popular choice in Triumph’s modern classic line, and for 2019 it has received a refresh that includes a bump in mid-range power, a new cartridge-style fork and a Brembo front brake.

As its name suggests, the Street Scrambler is primarily a road-going machine (those looking for more than just light off-roading adventures should give the all-new Scrambler 1200 a hard look), and after riding it and its Street Twin sibling (which received similar changes this year) back-to-back at the press launch in Portugal, the Street Scrambler’s upright, commanding riding position proved to be well-suited to navigating the urban jungle.

For 2019, the Street Scrambler gets more power, better suspension and brakes, new ride modes and a light style refresh.
