2023 Triumph Scrambler 900 First Look [Fast Facts: Retro Motorcycle]

Say farewell to the Triumph Street Scrambler and welcome the 2023 Triumph Scrambler 900 to the fold. The motorcycle is unchanged, save new colorways for ’23. Jet Black returns, joined by Matt Khaki and the striking two-tone Carnival Red & Jet Black paint jobs.

Despite the name, it remains primarily a street motorcycle. However, should it be called in for some light-duty off-pavement action, the 19-/17-inch wheel combo comes in handy. Keep in mind that the wire-spoke wheels are shod with Metzeler Tourance tires, which prefer tarmac to dirt.

The 899cc vertical twin with up-pipes returns. It delivers a healthy 59 ft-lbs of torque at a modest 3250 rpm, with a peak of 64 horsepower coming at 7250 rpm. This makes the 2023 Triumph Scrambler 900 an easy ride, as you can either short-shift the five-speed transmission, or let it wind up. We tested have tested the Street Scrambler.
