Triumph Street Twin 2018

The new Triumph Street Twin cleverly continues the success story of the predecessor model; instead of radical changes, there are targeted improvements to the engine, brakes, chassis and ergonomics. The enormous 10 hp increase in power is nice, but the special character of the powerful in-line two-wheeler is still experienced more in the mid-range. Added to this is an improved look and feel at a price that is hardly higher. If you have too much money in your wallet, you can pimp and customise your Street Twin with almost 140 original accessories.

While the many different motorbike genres are becoming increasingly blurred and overlapping, the Ducati Scrambler Icon is indeed the uncomplicated and robust scrambler promised in its name. The wide handlebars make for unbelievably easy handling, so it's easy to forgive the fact that the comfort-oriented chassis has no adjustable fork, while the shock absorber can at least be adjusted in rebound and spring preload. You also forgive the fact that the front single disc needs quite a bit of manual force; after all, it is very commendable that a cornering ABS is fitted as standard. The rest of the equipment, however, is again in keeping with the minimalist style, which is perhaps even a little exaggerated in the case of the (outdated) LCD instruments. All in all, however, the Scrambler Icon convinces above all with its successful appearance, which conveys what it's all about even when stationary: lifestyle instead of riding style!
