Rumour: Triumph Street Scrambler launch on August 24, 2017

Triumph might introduce the Street Scrambler in India on August 24, 2017. The Street Scrambler is designed for on and off-road use. It is based on the Street Twin but gets a revised chassis. The riding position has been altered and the handle bars are taller and wider. It gets a high-mounted side exhaust, metal bash plate to protect the engine from impacts and 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels. The bike rides on Metzeler Touranace tyres designed specifically for tarmac and dirt riding.

In terms of dimensions, the bikes measures 831 mm in width and 1,120 mm in height. The seat height is 790 mm while the wheelbase is 1,446 mm. It weighs 206 kg dry and has a fuel tank capacity of 12 litres.

It shares its 900cc parallel-twin cylinder engine with the Street Twin. The air and water-cooled engine delivers 54 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 80 Nm @ 2,850 rpm and is mated to a 5-speed gearbox with torque assist clutch. It gets a ride-by-wire throttle and switchable ABS and traction control.

The Street Scrambler uses 41 mm KYB cartridge forks in the front and twin-shocks with adjustable preload at the rear with 120 mm of travel at both ends. Braking duties are handled by a single 310 mm disc at the front and 255 mm disc at the rear. The front and rear discs get Nissin 2-piston floating calipers.

The Triumph Street Scrambler will take on the recently launched Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled in the Indian market.
