2009 Triumph Scrambler

Inspired by the 60’s Triumph off road sports motorcycles that were stripped down for a purpose, the Scrambler demands attention wherever it goes with its own purposeful look.

The legendary air cooled 865cc parallel twin is now fuel injected and with a 270 degree crank delivers a distinctive exhaust note through the stylish high swept chromed side pipes you can’t fail to notice.

Add classic 60’s styling details including gaiters, white seat piping plus two new colour options of Jet Black and Matt Khaki Green and it won’t take long to realise why the Scramblers of the past were the choice of Hollywood icons of the era and why they’re perfect for today’s urban jungle or great escapes into the countryside.

Features & Benefits

Engine
The Scrambler’s air-cooled, parallel twin cylinder engine offers a cubic capacity of 865cc for excellent midrange torque. Both pistons rise and fall together via a 270° crankshaft firing interval so the classic character of a British twin-cylinder engine is retained, whilst twin balancer shafts provide civility and refinement. 90% of peak torque is maintained from around 2500rpm through to redline providing smooth, effortless acceleration throughout the five gears.

Fuelling
The Scrambler features a fuel injection system designed for clean running and to meet forthcoming Euro 3 legislation. The retro styling remains uncompromised though, as the fuel injectors are cleverly concealed by throttle bodies designed to look like traditional carbs.

Chassis
With a strong tubular steel cradle frame and supple front and rear suspension (41mm telescopic forks and twin chromed spring preload-adjustable rear shocks) the Scrambler is built tough, to iron out the bumps. Its high, wide handlebars and high-set footpegs further aid control and low-speed manoeuvrability. Steering geometry is set at 27.8° of rake, with 105mm of trail and a wheelbase of 1500mm. Twin piston calipers are used for both brakes, the front working a single 310mm disc, the rear a 255mm disc, for ample stopping power.

Wheels
The spoked wheels are sized 19 x 2.5in (front) and 17 x 3.5in (rear), both wearing lightly-knobbled tyres in sizes 100/90-19 and 130/80-17.

Exhaust System
The high-level chromed stainless exhaust pipes, retro styled silencers and evocative heat shields are all key to the Scrambler’s unique look.

Triumph 2009 Triumph Scrambler Media/Press Release(s):

Other changes to the 2009 range include a new colour option – Phantom
Black and New England White – for Triumph’s stripped down factory custom, the
Speedmaster, plus a rugged new look for the Scrambler. This popular retro
model has been given a tough new look for 2009, thanks to an attitude-filled Matt
Khaki Green colour scheme echoing military bikes of the 1950s and 1960s. The
Scrambler, which takes its design cues from the off-road bikes of the ‘60s, will
also be available in Jet Black.

Both the 2009 Speedmaster and Scrambler will be available from August and are
priced at £6,199 otr* and £5,999 otr* respectively.
