Custom Triumph Wambule Scrambler 900: Honour, Heritage & Purpose
PUBLISHED 11.07.2026
Few motorcycles carry a story as personal, rugged, and deeply rooted in tradition as the Wambule Scrambler 900.
Built by Stockwell Design for a serving soldier in the Royal Gurkha Rifles, this one-off Triumph is a tribute to two defining parts of its owner's identity: a distinguished military career in one of the world's most respected regiments and a lifelong connection to the mountains of his native Nepal.
Every modification tells part of that story.
Design & Heritage
The custom paintwork immediately sets the Wambule apart. Inspired by the colours and insignia of the Brigade of Gurkhas and the Royal Gurkha Rifles, the combination of deep rifle green, subtle scarlet accents, and crisp black framing gives the motorcycle a disciplined military presence while remaining refined and understated.
Closer inspection reveals the details that make this build truly unique. Flowing across the side panels is the outline of Mount Everest, paying tribute to the owner's homeland and the dramatic landscape of Nepal. Alongside it sits perhaps the most personal detail on the motorcycle: a hand-drawn illustration created by the owner's children, carefully incorporated into the finish so that a piece of home travels with him wherever the road leads.
Built to perform
Beneath the bespoke paintwork sits a Scrambler built to go beyond the tarmac. Continental TKC80 tyres give the bike its unmistakable stance while providing genuine off-road capability. A high-level front fender completes the classic scrambler silhouette, adding both function and a nod to traditional desert sleds.
The soundtrack comes courtesy of a set of handcrafted stainless steel drag pipes, giving the parallel twin a deeper, more purposeful voice that perfectly matches the bike's rugged character. At the rear, a Motone tail tidy and LED lighting package remove unnecessary bulk, tightening the proportions and allowing the aggressive rear tyre to become a defining feature of the build.
A Cockpit Inspired by the Trail
One of the most distinctive aspects of the Wambule came directly from the owner's riding experience away from motorcycles. An avid mountain biker, he requested a move away from traditional scrambler handlebars in favour of low, wide flat drag bars that replicate the feeling of a downhill mountain bike.
The result is a more aggressive riding position, placing greater weight over the front wheel and creating a direct connection between rider and machine that feels equally at home carving through corners or exploring gravel tracks.
More Than a Motorcycle
The Wambule Scrambler 900 is more than a custom Triumph.
It is a celebration of service, family and home, brought together through thoughtful design and carefully chosen details.
By blending the heritage of the Royal Gurkha Rifles with the spirit of the Himalayas and the attitude of a modern scrambler, Stockwell Design has created a motorcycle that is entirely unique to the rider who commissioned it.
