Engineered by Triumph for the classic motorcycle segment, the 2016 Triumph Scrambler utilizes a 865 cc (52.8 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 59 HP (43.1 kW) at 6,800 rpm while maximum torque reaches 68 Nm (50.2 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 230 kg (507 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.26 HP/kg (3.9 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 paired with a rated consumption of 5.11 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 313 km (194 miles) between fill-ups.
Within MotoLibrary's Triumph archive, this model family spans 12 indexed model years from 2006 to 2017, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
