Upgrades also including improved front braking hardware on both bikes and includes a new 310 mm disc up front, while the rear continues to get a 255 mm disc brake. The suspension has also been revised and the bike now comes with two riding modes - Road and Rain, while the Street Scrambler gets the additional Off-Road mode. Both the Street Twin and Street Scrambler share the same underpinnings but are very different motorcycles. The modern classics are targeted at different sets of customers and also wear appropriate footwear with the Street Twin riding on road tyres, while the Street Scrambler offered with dual-purpose rubber. The latter also gets a taller seat height and higher set exhaust pipes.

Triumph will be announcing prices for the new bikes today and we expect the 2019 Street Twin to be priced around the Rs. 8 lakh mark, while the Street Scrambler is likely to command a price tag of around Rs. 9 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen.
