The 2025 Triumph Scrambler 900 continues the brand’s tradition of offering one of the most stylish, approachable, and versatile middleweight motorcycles on the market. It wonderfully blends retro design with modern usability. While it may not be built for hardcore off-road adventure like the Scrambler 1200 XE, the 900 excels as a street-focused machine with just enough fire-road capability to keep things interesting. For 2025, some subtle updates help boost the package further.
A Special Colorway Makes The Scrambler 900 More Beautiful
What truly distinguishes the 2025 model is its fresh coat of vintage-inspired paint and logos. The new Icon Edition adds $750 to the base price and features Triumph’s heritage 1907 logo, which is undeniably cool, but is a bit of a head-scratcher at that price point. Also priced at an extra $750 is the one-year-only Stealth Edition, painted in a striking orange and black combo. Again, this is a rad option, but it makes Triumph seem a little greedy. While these upgrades don’t add horsepower or enhance handling, they could very well add future collectible appeal for riders and enthusiasts who appreciate limited-edition bikes with character, so that’s something.
The base price for the Scrambler 900 starts at $11,495—not super-competitive when stacked against rivals like the Ducati Scrambler Icon ($11,195) and the Moto Guzzi V7 Stone ($9,190). The Ducati may lean sportier, and the Guzzi more laid-back, but the Triumph sits confidently in the middle. At its core, the Scrambler 900 is a back-to-basics bike done right; light, stylish, and practical with just enough flair to stand out, if you want to tack on a $1,500 for paint and stickers.
There Are No Mechanical Changes To The Scrambler 900
At its heart, the 2025 Scrambler 900 remains largely unchanged from last year. It’s powered by Triumph’s proven 900cc liquid-cooled, eight-valve parallel twin. Output remains unchanged from last year–64 horsepower at 7,250 rpm and a healthy 59 pound-feet of torque available down low at 3,250 rpm. That torque makes it an ideal everyday bike, especially for people who prefer a relaxed, predictable powerband. The bike uses a five-speed gearbox and chain final drive, staying true to its traditional format while offering ride-by-wire throttle control and three riding modes: Road, Rain, and Off-Road. ABS and traction control are standard, although not IMU-managed, keeping the tech suite modern without being over-complicated.
Suspension travel is a modest 4.7 inches at both ends, the same as on the Speed Twin 900, making it well-suited for city streets and occasional gravel roads but far from a true off-roader. With a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combo, and dual-purpose tires, the Scrambler 900 keeps the look and capability of a classic scrambler without veering into full ADV territory. Braking is handled by a single 310mm disc up front with a two-piston caliper and a 255mm disc in the rear.
