But it’s also far better than you might expect.įor 2019 Triumph updated the KYB suspension to give it a better ride quality and more agility, something that certainly shows up when you are getting a bit giddy, but what most riders will appreciate is the neutral and balanced feel you get when just cruising on it. And its retro style twin shocks and slightly budget tubular cradle frame, single disc and unadjustable forks don’t shout ‘handling aplomb’. Ultimately, of course, the Street Scrambler is no sports bike. Overall it handles more than sweetly enough for you to enjoy yourself in the bends.

And although it is slightly taller and roomier than its Street Twin roadster cousin, due mostly to its larger diameter 19-inch front wheel and slightly long-travel suspension (which means it will never deliver quite the same feeling of security), the Street Scrambler is still as easy as pie to ride. It’s slim and reasonably light which makes it easily manageable and unintimidating. Triumph always somehow manages to make really good handling road bikes and the Street Scrambler, albeit a slightly budget, novice-orientated, off-road-styled retro roadster, is no exception.
