At the heart of the 2009 Triumph Scrambler classic motorcycle, Triumph features a 865 cc (52.8 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 59 HP (43.1 kW) at 6,800 rpm while maximum torque reaches 69 Nm (50.9 lb-ft) at 4,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 68.2 HP per liter and a 2,050 rpm working window between peak torque (4,750 rpm) and peak power (6,800 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 205 kg (452 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.29 HP/kg (3.47 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 825 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
