Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Street Scrambler 2018
Just like its sister Street Twin, the Street Scrambler also receives decisive updates to the engine, chassis, brakes and ergonomics. And even though the greatly increased power has a positive effect, the bulbous torque is almost more pleasing. The chassis is of a very high quality, offering a lot of comfort and stability. A small drawback of the Street Scrambler are the footrests that touch down early. On the other hand, the look is perfect. If you love scramblers, you will like the side-mounted exhaust system, the wide fork and the overall higher-quality finish.
BMW R nineT Scrambler 2018
There's really no point in trying to figure out why the R nineT is so popular, the concept is obviously an excellent fit for today. The BMW R nineT Scrambler also works excellently, relying on the same "old" boxer engine with air cooling, which BMW has miraculously made Euro4-compatible without sacrificing performance or character. The chassis is softer, the wheelbase longer and the equipment more spartan - but under the alias Scrambler this is perfectly acceptable, after all the focus is on comfortable riding. The optional one-man saddle is a bit hard, but the R nineT Scrambler is by no means uncomfortable, and the riding position is particularly convincing. So if you can live with less equipment, steel instead of aluminium and simpler suspension elements, you can save a lot of money with the Scrambler - which you can then best invest in customising!
