This major evolution also delivers higher revs, up by 500rpm to 7,500rpm, which together with its unique high torque delivery, with a peak torque of 80Nm is delivered low down @ 3,200rpm, and its signature high level exhaust system bring that unmistakeable Scrambler soundtrack and thrilling, agile and responsive ride.

The Street Scrambler’s High Torque 900 engine updates include:

- New magnesium cam cover

In addition to these updates, the new Street Scrambler retains its high standard of modern engine technology that has contributed to making this one of the most favoured bikes for customers and customizers alike. Ride-by-wire brings enhanced rideability, safety and control, from a single throttle body. Liquid cooling delivers low emissions and fuel efficient riding. High service intervals of 16,000km also help maintain the Street Scrambler’s low cost of ownership.
