Triumph Scrambler Review
Introduction
58-bhp fuel injected parallel twin engine
Like all of Triumph’s Modern Classics, the Scrambler had to comply with Euro 3 regulations so the most notable upgrade is the fuel injection system that not only does that, but is designed to still look like a carburetor composed feeding system just to retain that original ‘60s look while being allowed to role down the streets today. Also, the engine is the same air-cooled, 865cc, DOHC, parallel twin only that featuring a 270 degree firing interval which is not the regular characteristic for the engine which was originally donated by the Bonneville. The exhaust noise differs due to that aspect so apart from the unique style the Scrambler stands out with a unique vrooom as well.
Independently of shapes and sizes, all Triumph consecrated models come with tubular steel cradle frames and twin-sided, tubular steel swingarms and the Scrambler wasn’t going to be the exception. Indeed, this brings a significant contribution to the 506 lbs wet weight, but it’s nothing that can’t be solved with a decent overall length (87.1 inches) and a low center of gravity achieved despite the allowing ground clearance. The cumulative effects of these features plus the 27.8 degree rake and 105mm trail ensure proper handling abilities both on and off the road, which is exactly what the bike is built for.
Price
Starting at $ 8,799, the 2010 Triumph Scrambler is a great bang for the buck and the reasons couldn’t be simpler: all around riding capabilities, complete comfort, classic looks and a distinguishable sound that always touches a passionate rider’s heart. And if you don’t happen to fit in that category, don’t worry because you’ll soon do so.
Press Reviews
"Compared to Thruxton the Scrambler is very docile and laid back. There’s not as much horsepower on tap and the riding position is much more relaxed. The seat height is low, slightly too low for me since the seat is so soft. My legs would have felt much more comfortable if I could just sit slightly higher on the super soft seat." – raptors and rockets"With its narrow and chuck-able frame, it’s actually a really rewarding way to ride – to have to make the motor work a bit – before you hit the speed limit. Then working to keep it ‘on song’ is great, grinning-like-an-idiot fun at 100kph." – advrider
"On the Scrambler, all you need to do is short shift as soon as possible up to fifth for smooth and pleasant acceleration. You never feel like you need to go anywhere in a rush. Life’s like a piece of chocolate." – motorcycledaily
"The Scrambler may only boast a top speed of 110mph - still 40mph above the national limit, you’ll note - but its sprightly acceleration makes for a bike that hustles swiftly along without too much ado. It is almost a litre-bike after all." – thisisbristol
"None of this matters much in the Scrambler’s natural habitat: city streets, especially traffic-clogged ones, where you can use its easy clutch action, responsive throttle and light, immediate steering to plot an ideal course through rush-hour traffic, helped along by a tall and comfortable saddle." – motorcyclistonline
Competition
Classic off road models are rare bread nowadays so it’s pointless trying to find an appropriate competitor for the Scrambler, one that would correspond both in what concerns style and performance. But, if it is to name a bike that is supposed to do the same things without the epic look, the Moto Morini Scrambler is the one.
