Triumph Motorcycles India is set to launch the updated versions of Street Twin and Street Scrambler on 14th February. Both are the most affordable motorcycles in their lineup.
Both the updated models were showcased at Intermot 2018 in Germany. Upgrades for 2019 include minor design upgrades and heavy mechanical revisions.
That said, the styling of both the motorcycles have been retained. Triumph Street Twin is a Classic Roadster with a hint of modern touch. Street Scrambler is a scrambler-type motorcycle with spoke wheels, exposed body parts and the high-set exhaust setup.

Changes in the cycle parts include new 41mm KYB forks at the front paired up with retained KYB dual-shock absorbers at the back. Switchable Traction control and ABS are standard equipment now.
