2024 Triumph Scrambler 1200 Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 бер 2024
- Triumph is, arguably, the manufacturer who brought scrambler styling back into the limelight nearly 20 years ago now. For many of those years, it was just that, a styling exercise to capitalize on the classic cool that scramblers imbue. It wasn’t until the end of 2018 that Triumph stepped up its scrambler game in a way that truly harkened back to what the desert sleds of yore were used for - scramblin’ off the beaten path. The Scrambler 1200 XE & XC proved to be ADV-capable, classically styled machines that not only filled a niche that hadn’t yet been addressed, but bridged a gap between its modern classics and the burgeoning adventure motorcycle realm.

Thanks. Good description covering the differences. TBH, I think that cruise control should be an option an any "throttle by wire" motorcycle, though.
So on the more road focused bike, you don’t get cruise control? Make that make sense, Triumph.
I've bought a X and I'm dead chuffed with it. I've never had a bike with CC and don't miss it or feel I need it but I agree, omitting it on a more road focused version of the Scrambler is counter intuitive, especially on a ride-by-wire machine where including it would be easy with minimal cost.
I’ve always loved the style of these bikes
Best looking adventure bike of the moment! not the best off road but for sure the most beautiful
Great lookn bikes
I have owned R1200GSA/R1250GSA, Tenere 1200, Hypermotard 1100, ZX9R, etc. My favorite engine/transmission was a Triumph 1200XC. The keyless Fob and electronics were not top tier but I loved riding that motorcycle. I sold it before I moved from Nevada to NC… but I am thinking about buying the X.
If you have or have had a Street Scrambler 900, really liked it but sometimes wished it had a bit more power then the X is for you. That's what I have done and loving it so far. 👍
It’s good that you have Ryan using a lavalier mic but it would be nice if you killed the mic in the video camera because it picks up all the ambient noise (a generator?).
They actually had some mic issues and we had to use an iPhone on the seat of one of the bikes! Considering the situation, it didn't end up too bad thanks to the guys on the ground and our editors.

Thanks for explaining what happened. I just wanted to chip in case you didn't notice the ambient noise. Good stuff!
I really want the XE
Yes. You do.
I feel like someone gave you a 5 minutes heads up to do this review.
That's how it goes at press launches. Jump off the bike, tell the camera what you think!
Then you only needed a 5’ video bro. You only talked spec shit. Waste of time
If you aren't short or going hardcore off-road, buy the XC. I feel like buying a second one.
There is no XC anymore 😂
Looks like a good time, but $15,300 really means about $17k out the door after fees and taxes. That’s a lot of jack for a poor man!
Who u tellin. I’m my area the previous models can be had for 10-13k. Better value in my book with all the down grades to both models. Especially to the X compared to last years XC
Exactly. It's the reason I didn't get one. Couldn't find any used in my area either. Ended up with a barely used FTR for a nice price.
Yes and definitely too big and heavy for off-road use other than unpaved roads.
People have been bashing this beautiful bike non stop for 5 years. It's the best Bonneville ever made if you know how to ride and can afford to buy a motorcycle that is simply brilliant. They spec'd it down to lower the cost year over year because people complained. I have ridden the hell out of this bike at a paved race track all day and rode it off road in Mojave the next week with the same tires. No bike is perfect for everyone's budget or needs. But the best scrambler ever made isn't cheap. Why would it be?
Cost cutting on the display and brakes hurt the desirability of the bike 😮
So let us hear the bike 😢
It seems a little backward with the cruise control being on the more off road bike and not on the more street road biased bike.
So about $15k is now what we pay for "a nice" bike? Yow....
As always if your shorter leg youncan5 ride these bikes
You’re jumping back and forth, maybe focus on bike, and then jump the other bike.
On april fools?
Okay..
Sorry but that is a poorly constructed review mate.
