Triumph has announced updates to its popular Street Scrambler and Street Twin motorcycles for 2019, boasting significant enhancements in power and equipment for the new specification.

The new 2019 Street Scrambler introduces a significant set of major updates with power and performance being top of the list. The 900cc high-torque Bonneville engine has been upgraded to deliver 10PS more peak power, taking the total to 65PS, which is an impressive 18 percent more than its predecessor.

This major evolution also delivers higher revs, up by 500rpm to 7,500rpm, which together with its unique high torque delivery, with a peak torque of 80Nm is delivered low down @ 3,200rpm, and its signature high level exhaust system bring that unmistakeable Scrambler soundtrack and thrilling, agile and responsive ride.

In addition to these updates, the new Street Scrambler retains its high standard of modern engine technology that has contributed to making this one of the most favoured bikes for customers and customisers alike. Ride-by-wire brings enhanced rideability, safety and control, from a single throttle body. Liquid cooling delivers low emissions and fuel efficient riding. High service intervals of 16,000km also help maintain the Street Scrambler’s low cost of ownership.

Whether cruising the urban streets or riding the dirt tracks and green lanes, the 2019 Street Scrambler is designed to deliver easy precise handling and a balanced agile feel. With dedicated new chassis and suspension updates, the new Street Scrambler represents a significant upgrade to capability and brings even more of the dynamic Scrambler poise, ride and style.

The new Brembo four-piston front brake caliper, featuring premium Brembo branding, provides better stopping power, with improved bite and feel for greater rider control. New higher spec cartridge front forks, with scrambler-style rubber gaiters and a full 120mm travel, deliver great road and light off-road capability and comfort.

In addition to the higher specification equipment, the Street Scrambler delivers a commanding rider position with comfortable ergonomics and accessible neutral handling. These come from its signature scrambler wide handlebars, forward set foot pegs and a 19 inch spoked front wheel with dual purpose Metzeler Tourance tyres fitted as standard.

As a result, the new Street Scrambler raises the bar for its intuitive handling, set-up for a truly confidence-inspiring ride and even greater capability for light off-road riding.

Timeless Scrambler design DNA, iconic clean lines, signature high-level exhaust, sculpted tank, minimal bodywork, and premium modern finishes – the new Street Scrambler is one of the most eye-catching motorcycles in the world.

Representing a major step forward for Triumph’s most successful modern classic, the new 2019 Street Twin now brings a significant step up in power, a higher specification of equipment, even more rider comfort and first-in-class technology.

Launched in 2016 the Street Twin is the most contemporary model in Triumph’s Bonneville line-up and has become the single biggest selling modern classic. This success has come thanks to its beautiful custom looks, accessible and confidence inspiring ride, and thrilling high torque engine.

New Road and Rain riding modes have been added, which adjust the throttle map and traction control settings for the optimum riding experience in all conditions. Along with that comes a new TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) accessory option capability, for greater riding practicality and rider confidence, plus traction control, which is switchable via the instrument menu and optimises the delivery of the Street Twin’s class-leading torque when traction is compromised.

The Street Twin’s stylish custom character has been enhanced further with even more contemporary sophisticated details and styling touches. Most noticeable are the beautiful new cast aluminium, multi-spoke wheels with machined detailing – a high quality finishing touch that adds a new dimension to the motorcycle.

The new Street Twin logo, featuring on the new side panel, provides a more contemporary look compared to the previous model. There is also an upgrade to the instrument styling, with a new bezel complete with high value metallic Bonneville embellisher, plus a new dial face with a premium translucent silver finish and more integrated warning lights. The Street Twin boasts many of the engine and technological upgrades of the Street Scrambler.

Pricing and availability for both models in Australia is yet to be determined.
