Overview[edit | edit source]

Triumph Scrambler Matt Black









A modern interpretation of a timeless classic, the Scrambler demands attention wherever it goes.

Inspired by the 60s Triumph off-road sports motorcycles that were stripped down for racing, the Scrambler has a unique look and feel all of its own. With classic styling details including gaiters, white seat piping and high swept chromed side pipes, its easy to see why the Scrambler was the choice of so many Hollywood icons.

Scrambler. Stripped down. Purposeful. Head turning. The stuff of Hollywood legends.

With the latest twist. Our fuel injected, air-cooled 865cc parallel-twin, reworked with different timings for that distinctive exhaust note from those classy high swept chrome pipes. Fork gaiters.

Pulling strongly from low down. An accessible ride that's easy and relaxed. What it's always been. Only better.


Triumph’s legendary air cooled, 865cc, parallel twin features modern fuel injected and with a 270 degree firing order for 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 and spartan Jet Black or Matte Khaki Green color schemes, and it won’t take long to realize why the Scramblers of the past were the choice of Hollywood icons of the era.

Perfect for the urban jungle or great escapes into the countryside, Triumph’s Scrambler is a classic traditional motorcycle with an unmatched feelgood factor.

Taking its cues from the stripped down desert sleds of the 1960s, the Scrambler reprises Triumph's rich heritage in off-road competition in a modern road-biased package.

Back in the day, competitors would take their Triumph twins, strip them down and fit dirt tires and suspension, not to mention high level exhausts, and head out on the rough terrain. These Triumphs were hugely competitive in enduro competition and famously ridden by Hollywood star Steve McQueen in the 1964 International Six Day Trial (ISDT) in the former East Germany.

The Scrambler takes its inspiration from those ISDT machines with its classic styling dominated by the twin high level exhausts, designed to provide maximum ground clearance on rough terrain.

Spoked wheels with lightly knobbled tires, high footrests, rugged fork gaiters and wide off-road style handlebars give a further nod to the Scrambler's off-road heritage.

The utilitarian style is highlighted by the simple single color options: Jet Black and a military style Matt Khaki Green, with a whole range of official Triumph accessories available to further personalise the Scrambler. Items such as headlight grilles, skid plate and number boards can turn the Scrambler into a real ISDT replica, while fly screen and leather luggage options cater for the large number of Scrambler owners who enjoy tackling the urban jungle each and every day.

Powering the Scrambler is a unique version of Triumph's 865cc parallel-twin. Designed outwardly to look like a classic 1960s twin, this DOHC eight-valve unit is a low maintenance modern engine developed to meet the most stringent emissions regulations.

The fuel-injected twin delivers a laid back 59PS, with 68Nm of torque at just 4750rpm making the Scrambler a breeze to ride in all conditions. With its 270-degree crankshaft, the Scrambler takes on a totally different character to the other models in Triumph's classic range, producing a totally addictive off-beat soundtrack which can be cranked up a notch with the fitment of the off-road Arrow exhaust system available as part of Triumph's genuine accessories range.
