Read through the news today, and you'll find a slew of updates to Triumph's Modern Classic lineup, but for my money, the Scrambler 900 got the best updates out of the lot. Between tech, chassis, and stylistic tweaks, this model is bound to make anyone who bought the MY25 version of this model feel hard done by. And that's a good thing because we need notable improvements when bikes get a price hike, which this model will for 2026.
This model is closely related to the Speed Twin 900, which got a fistful of updates last year, and now, it seems, it's time to give them to the Scrambler. While the Speed Twin 900 gained more on-road prowess, the Scrambler 900 is becoming more of an off-road monster, thanks to a more refined chassis, upgraded suspension, lightweight aluminum wheel rims, and the introduction of lean-sensitive optimized cornering ABS and traction control.
Of course, most of those new features will help the Scambler be a better all-around motorcycle, which it arguably always has been, but Triumph has skewed its progress more toward being a better off-road motorcycle than the previous version. The chassis update takes the form of a redesigned tubular steel frame, which is now paired with a cast aluminum swingarm that's supposed to reduce. weight while increasing rigidity.
