Triumph Scrambler 900 2026

Triumph Scrambler 900 2026

The new Triumph Scrambler 900 is an amazingly profound evolution. It is more dynamic, more precise and has a more beguiling sound than ever before. Technically it is a masterpiece, emotionally a point of friction. Anyone looking for a purely retro bike may feel alienated. Anyone looking for a bike with a strong character for country roads, gravel tracks and weekend adventures could fall in love ... or become addicted. I'm torn between the two. And that is perhaps the greatest compliment I can pay a bike.

Precise reponsiveness

addictive sound

agile handling despite weight

suspension

modern electronics sensibly integrated

high driving dynamics

excellent turn-in behaviour

Loss of analogue cockpit romance

some accessories of older models not compatible

design too modern for traditionalists
