It might look like it is a great road bike but its off-road capabilities will surprise you. Triumph introduced the Scrambler in 2006 and added a fuel-injection system in 2009. Since then, there has been no holding this fierce competitor back. Although the basic style of the Scrambler hasn’t had any recent major changes in look and style it has had upgrades in performance and quality. These upgrades in performance help to deliver one sleek and smooth ride.

This powerful motorcycle manages give higher ground clearance for farther off road travels but the illusion that this is a low ride. This gives the rider increased balance and a smoother drive. The exhaust on this trail blazer is fitted with twin steel silencers to quiet your rumble through great outdoors.
