Triumph Street Scrambler: Pre-2026 vs 2026 Models
Important - Please Read Before Ordering
Triumph changed the exhaust configuration on the 2026 Street Scrambler. As a result, our Triumph exhaust systems for the latest 2026 model are not the same fitment as those for 2025 and earlier bikes.
We've also found that some pre-2026 motorcycles are still being registered for the first time in 2026, so the registration year alone is not a reliable way to identify your bike.
To make sure you order the correct exhaust, please check your VIN before placing your order.
Why Does the Exhaust Fit Differently?
The 2026 Street Scrambler has a revised exhaust configuration, including a different centre heat shield design. This means the exhaust mounts differently to the motorcycle.
Because of this change, it is important that you select the exhaust specifically designed for your model.
How to Identify Your Street Scrambler Model
Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) tells you which version of the bike you have.
You can find your VIN stamped on the steering stem, just below the handlebars.
Once you have located your VIN:
UK & Rest of World - Look at the 11th character of your VIN.
North America - Look at the 10th character of your VIN.
Then use the guide below:
| VIN Character | Model | Exhaust to Order |
|---|---|---|
| T | 2026 Street Scrambler | Post-2026 exhaust |
| S | 2025 / pre-2026 Street Scrambler | Pre-2026 exhaust |
If Your VIN Contains a T
If the relevant VIN character is T, you have the 2026 model.
You should order our new post-2026 exhaust from this page.
Please do not use the pre-2026 exhaust, as the exhaust mounting configuration is different on the 2026 model.
If Your VIN Contains an S
If the relevant VIN character is S, you have a 2025 / pre-2026 model.
You should order our pre-2026 exhaust instead.

Why Can't I Just Use My Registration Year?
This is particularly important for bikes registered in 2026.
Some motorcycles built before the 2026 model change are still being registered during 2026. Therefore, a bike with a 2026 registration plate may not necessarily be a 2026-model bike.
Always use the VIN to identify your motorcycle rather than the registration year.
Quick Check Before You Order
Before placing your order, please check:
- Find your VIN on the steering stem, just below the handlebars.
- Identify the relevant character:
- UK & Rest of World: 11th character
- North America: 10th character
- Check the character:
- T = 2026 model → Post-2026 exhaust
- S = 2025 / pre-2026 model → Pre-2026 exhaust
- Make sure you are ordering the exhaust that matches your VIN
