Scrambler 900 Specifications

The Triumph Scrambler 900 is built around a 900cc, liquid-cooled, SOHC parallel-twin engine with a 270° crank firing order - the same configuration that gives it that distinctive uneven burble rather than the flat thrum of a 360° twin. It produces 64.1 bhp at 7,250 rpm and a healthy 80 Nm of torque at just 3,250 rpm, which means the power is accessible well within city riding ranges. You're not hunting for the redline to get things done.

Power goes through a 5-speed gearbox with a chain final drive. Triumph fits switchable dual-channel ABS as standard, alongside traction control and two riding modes - Road and Rain. The Rain mode softens throttle response and dials down traction control intervention, making wet-road riding considerably less stressful.

On the chassis side, the Scrambler 900 runs a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear - spoke-style, tubeless - which gives it that authentic scrambler stance. The front tyre is 100/90-19 and the rear 150/70-17, with dual-purpose rubber that handles light gravel and hardpack without drama. Ground clearance sits at 157 mm and the wheelbase at 1,445 mm.

Seat height is 790 mm - manageable for riders of average height in India, though the 223 kg kerb weight means you need both feet planted when stationary. The 12-litre fuel tank gives a realistic range of around 270 km before you start thinking about a refill. Braking comes from a 310 mm front disc and a 255 mm rear disc, both with the dual-channel ABS.

The electronics package is thoughtful without being overcomplicated: ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control, and an LCD instrument cluster with a digital speedo, gear position indicator, and two trip meters. No TFT screen or Bluetooth here - and that suits the Scrambler 900's honest, purposeful character.
