Built around Triumph's classic motorcycle platform, the 2011 Triumph Scrambler features a 865 cc (52.8 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 58 HP (42.3 kW) at 6,800 rpm while maximum torque reaches 67.8 Nm (50 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 67.1 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 229.5 kg (506 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 HP/kg (3.96 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 1,499 mm (59 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15.9-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
