Triumph Street Scrambler review Visordown road test
- 7 years ago
The most-fun lovin' new Bonneville is here in the form of the new Triumph Street Scrambler.
The heritage that feeds in to Triumph’s latest Scrambler can be traced back to the 650cc Bonneville T-120TT of the early '60s. But the Scrambler as we know it was launched in 2006 and apart from the addition of fuel injection and a few detailing tweaks, it’s remained largely the same since then.
But now we’ve got a new Scrambler - the Street Scrambler, launched alonside the new Street Cup. It uses the new 900cc water-cooled parallel-twin engine from the Street Twin, has a high-level exhaust, wire-spoked wheels, bench seat clad in dual purpose tyres, plus bear trap foot pegs and a bash plate, mate.
Costing £8,900, its price hits a similar mark to competition from Ducati and BMW. It slightly more (£368) more expensive than the Ducati Scrambler Classic, but cheaper than the more rugged forthcoming Desert Sled, which starts from £9,395 and the BMW R nineT Scrambler, which starts from £10,550.
But what does it ride like? Like the most fun loving and playful of the new Bonnevilles.
