5 differences between the Street Twin and the Street Scrambler

Triumph has launched a new off-road biased version of the Street Twin, called the Street Scrambler, priced at Rs 8.1 lakhs (ex-showroom). It features a slew of visual and utilitarian upgrades to discern it from the host bike, and to make it better at off-roading. Here are five major differences between the Street Twin and the Street Scrambler. 

Visual and functional upgrades

The Street Scrambler gets a flat solo bench seat, aluminium rear rack, removable pillion seat, off-road footpegs, rubber knee pads and a bash plate. Even the passenger footpegs and hangers are easily removable. The instrument cluster has been tweaked slightly. It breathes out through a new elevated side-slung twin-pipe exhaust system.

Revised chassis

While it is based on the same Street Twin platform, the Street Scrambler gets a slightly revised chassis to suit its character. The sub-frame has also been redesigned to accommodate the new seat and exhaust. 

Tweaked ergonomics

The Street Scrambler gets wider handlebars while the footpegs have been moved forward. This offers a more upright riding position than the Street Twin. It also makes it more comfortable for the rider to stand up and ride.

Larger wheel

The Street Scrambler rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels as opposed to the 17-inch alloy wheels on the Street Twin. These wheels are shod with Metzeler Tourance dual-sport tyres.

Switchable ABS

While the Street Twin only gets a switchable traction control system, the Street Scrambler also benefits from a switchable ABS, which should prove to be a boon while off-roading.
