At the heart of the 2008 Triumph Scrambler allround motorcycle, Triumph pairs a 865 cc (52.8 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 56 HP (40.9 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 51 Nm (37.6 lb-ft) at 4,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 64.7 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (4,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Scrambler measures 204.6 kg (451 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.27 HP/kg (3.65 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 826 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,501 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16.65-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
