Triumph Street Scrambler suppose to have “limited off-road capability” but you guys took it well beyond “limited”. It is nice to see what this beautiful piece of machinery can do! 👍
A LOT of people have been doing that, I think Triumph say "limited capability" for the legal side of things, in case one bike in a thousand or one customer in a thousand really screws up... but they're far more capable than Triumph have been letting on.
I've had a spanking new 22 SS in my garage for 2 weeks tomorrow. I have to take Rider safety driver course, but by-pass all testing at DMV if I do and discount on insurance. So anyway, the 2.5 day course starts Friday. I've putted it along in the parking lot is all. Never wished MONDAY would hurry and get here before.
Brilliant! The funny thing is that the modern Scrambler is more capable than any bike made until the early 70s off road. We never thought twice about taking "street" bikes into the poop back in the day. Put some knobbies on it and go.
Very true!! I restored/customised a 1966 Honda CL77, the larger version of the bike Dave Ekins plotted the initial Baja 1000 on. Nostalgic, pretty and sounds lovely.... but it's a bit crap! I do love it but never ride it. [Ross]
@@martycech5844 I was visiting my brother and saw his neighbor washing his Harley. Took about an hour and ended with what looked like a hair dryer but 2ft long. After it was spotless and shiny I heard it start up (can't miss a Harley starting up) and he rode away. About 10 minutes later he was back and the bike was in the garage.
@@c.g.c2067 You are right there. I will have to design my own when I buy one of these 900 scramblers which I intend to. Because I am going to lift the bike with a 200 mm travel set of forks up front and 200mm Ohlins at the rear there will be room to take a 2 into 1 system behind the right shock and then fit a mini mega like a Predator pro shorty no wider than the shock so a conventional pannier rack will fit. Doable definitely.
@@c.g.c2067 Right again! How stupid am I? Trouble is I have ridden RTW twice and done lots of really daft things. I could just buy a 1200 XE for my next adventure but where is the challenge in that? My f*k*n* grandmother could do my next challenge on that! I am the idiot who broke the world record for the 7,350 mile TAT (27 days) on a 690 SMCR with 17 inch wheels rather than taking the easy option of the ER with 21/18 inch wheels to prove a point. Just a pigheaded fool who likes to challenge the brainwashed norm in a world that I see as losing the point I guess. All the best on your next adventure my friend.See you out there!
Damn, i got a '15 Scrambler a few month ago. Never did offroad bevor, tought it would be fun... Crashd it in the furst puddle and fall of a hill with the bike... dman hard work to get ot of there alone! Bevor the next adventure starts i need difinitely more practice!! but yea it was kind a fun :D
Definitely a good idea to ride off-road with at least 1 friend... Also, those old air cooled Bonnie scramblers are quite top heavy and much less well suspended.
To be honest I could barely see where I was going due to a duff pair of tear offs.... but Polsden Lacy, Box Hill... around there on an OS map. Plenty of BOATs to enjoy. [Ross]
Lionel Alwin I’d say no, if you’re going to actually use it for ‘scrambling’. The stock Pirelli phantoms will be terrible on off road terrain, and you will likely need to turn off the ABS which the T100 cannot do. It also has a significant amount of extra weight compared to the street Scrambler and no higher pipes. Having said that, if you’re using it for road, they perform very well and use the same engine, apart from a slightly different tune. Hope that helps. [Dan]
Thanks a lot for your reply, Dan! It really does help. I am a highway rider with occasional cravings for off-roading. When such a situation presents itself, I wanted to be sure if t100 would take me to the other side without any untoward incidents.
I noticed that the rear brake caliper/pads are on the bottom end of the rotor. Does this interfere with off roading? Is it vulnerable to getting hit by big rocks or other debris?
In theory it's not the best placement for an off-road bike, but this isn't a single-purpose bike and there are other considerations on setup. It didn't seem to slow Ross down green-laning with the guys. (Dutch)
I'm a little late to the party but for most of the videos I've watched previously they said that you really shouldn't take this bike off road. What is your genuine opinion of that a year or so later? Thank you.
It's a road bike first and foremost, being a ''scrambler''' is just super trendy for marketing right now, that being said put some knobby tyres on any bike and it will do better off road.
Ross may have his own view, but I've used these for soft off-road and they're a great fit, look great and are big solid boots with decent protection, but they're not a patch on proper MX boots if you're racing or going hard on a WR450, etc. Dutch
Us too. I need one on my personal Scrambler!

but a Street Twin shouldn't be difficult to transform it to scrambler right? lots of after market parts there already and if you start with a taller aftermarket suspension and a sump guard you should do the same green lanes as you did on the street scrambler.
It's all about the suspension, the map, and those pipes, plus wire wheels (more flexible) and a bigger rim up front (better across obstacles). This then effects the mudguard mount position on the fork lowers. There's lots to change over, but you could, in theory, make the street twin work better off road.
you are right about the spoke rims, but with some TKC80 i think it would be doable, maybe a bit slower. then if you change the rims i dont think the mudguard would be problem, probably you can find aftermarket ones to fit. Map?...hmm stock one will do just fine unless you change for full exhaust, Zard makes nice options for slip-on's. you might take inspiration from this guy : th-cam.com/video/lfzwPGSdwg4/w-d-xo.html
I ride the Surrey Green lanes and I garentee this bike wouldn't cope with Shere Lane!! It would struggle with wolvens lane.... Doesn't triumph say its not ment be taken off road...? I heard a guy broke he's frame taking it off road and triumph UK didn't wanna know.. There excuse was its ment for hipsters to pose on and not to be taken off road... Dunno if its true...

Now triumph has an official off road capability scrambler which is scrambler 1200, but I am going to buy 900 one and take it to the off road anyway🙂
This video literally made me finally decide to buy a scrambler. Keep up the videos literally my favourite channel
You won't be sorry. I still love mine - Dutch.
so, what do you think about your scrambler so far?
Just bought the new sandstorm edition , can't wait to get adventuring :)

So anyway, the 2.5 day course starts Friday. I've putted it along in the parking lot is all. Never wished MONDAY would hurry and get here before.
I've been ragging mine off-road and love it so much, looking forward to getting it in the mud :)
SgTSmeG great fun aren’t they. We’ll organise a few green lane days soon. Come along
Just sat on one of these today such a comfortable motorcycle... all I need to do is go for a test ride

I loved the dealer loaner Scrambler I had for a week, but I don't want to get rid of my Street Cup... maybe I need to get a second Twin.. 😉
more offroad vid please!! It looks it was a great fun
Your wish is our command ;-)
uhhhh the cleaning THE CLEANING. looks hell of a lot of fun though

That's the thing about that high exhaust besides the heat it deliveres; you can't place two side bags and travel with it.
Just fit some Dustland shotgun pipes which have heat shield fitted and are super slim and problem solved.
@@jamesfairmind2247yes it may work, however this high exhaust pipes might appear fancy to someone but in reality they are terribly unpractical

my first bike was a new 1973 honda 450 scrambler
Good video. What jacket are you wearing?
Did triumph setup the off Road centre afterwards?
I forgot to ask, what's your inseam?
Can you tell us more about your route for the day please!

Would a t100 in stock condition perform half as good as these scramblers? If yes, I will go for t100. I need your honest opinion!

Can a pillion actually seat with that exhaust???
Yes. The pipe gets warm but doesn't burn. Open pipes (without a cat) run even cooler.

Off road riding does seem pretty limited there. (Googling green laning right now...) 🇺🇸
Green-laning = Trail riding in US English. Firetrails and stuff you'd do on an old XR600.
Bike Shed Motorcycle Club Or my Husqvarna TE630! Gotcha. Thanks.
To be fair, the TE is a bit more capable that an XR or the Triumph, but yes, you get the idea.
