00:002026 Triumph Scrambler 900 review, more than just a makeover Triumph, has given the Scrambler 900 its biggest update in over 20 years.
00:10And for 2026, this bike gets far more than a cosmetic refresh.
00:14While other Bonneville models, like the T100, T120, Bobber, and Speedmaster, only see small refinements.
00:22The Scrambler 900 has been seriously reworked.
00:25The upgrades cover the chassis, suspension, wheels, brakes, and electronics, making it far more competitive against rivals from Ducati, Royal Enfield, and BSA, on the road.
00:38The Scrambler 900 feels fun, easy, and confidence-inspiring.
00:43Despite its weight, it flows smoothly through corners with a surprising sense of lightness.
00:48It's comfortable for taller riders, approachable for shorter ones, and overall, very well-built.
00:55From the paintwork, to the engine finishes.
00:58Tension to detail is excellent, and gives the bike a premium feel.
01:03The 900cc, parallel twin engine, hasn't changed mechanically.
01:07Even with Euro 5 compliance, but that's not a bad thing.
01:11Power delivery remains soft, friendly, and easy to control, making it great in traffic and relaxed cruising.
01:18Twist the throttle harder, and it responds with a satisfying bark and strong mid-range pull.
01:24The engine note is deep and characterful.
01:27And the 5-speed gearbox works well in town, on motorways, everywhere in between.
01:32Where the big improvements really show is in the chassis.
01:36Triumph has swapped the old steel swingarm for a cast aluminium unit, and the spoked wheels are now aluminium too.
01:42This reduces unsprung weight, and noticeably improves handling.
01:47Suspension has been upgraded with 43mm upside-down Showa forks, up-front and twin Showa.
01:55Shocks with piggyback reservoirs at the rear.
01:57Braking is stronger as well, thanks to a larger 320mm front disc, and a 4-piston radio caliper.
02:04The Scrambler 900 now steers more easily, needs less effort to change direction, and offers better feel through the suspension.
02:15Grip is impressive, and braking performance is stronger and more controlled.
02:20A new EMU adds cornering abs, traction control, and optional cruise control.
02:26All working quietly in the background without spoiling the riding experience.
02:31Styling has been refined too.
02:33A reshaped fuel tank, slimmer subframe, updated seat, and narrower front mudguard, give the bike a more muscular.
02:41Add!
02:43Modern look while keeping its retro charm.
02:45Wider handlebars improve leverage.
02:48And the low 790mm seat height makes it very accessible.
02:52There's also a new TFT dash, with USB-C charging.
02:57It's clear and easy to use, though some may find it a bit too modern for a classic-styled bike.
03:02Build quality remains excellent.
03:05And Triumph backs it up with a 2-year unlimited mileage warranty, and over 120.
03:10Official accessories, at around 9,995 pounds.
03:15The Scrambler 900 costs more than rivals from BSA, Royal Enfield, and Fantic.
03:20But it also delivers more power, better components.
03:25In a more premium overall package, it looks and feels like a more expensive machine.
03:30Making it strong value for money.
03:33Bottom line, the 2026.
03:37Triumph Scrambler 900 isn't just refreshed it's genuinely improved.
03:41And it's now one of the most well-rounded modern retro Scramblers you can buy.
03:46Okay.
04:01Do it.
