The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC is a superb blend of modern classic design and adventure capability

Design

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC may not look attractive or good-looking to everyone. That's because it blends modern classic design, yet loaded to the gills with all the modern electronic gadgetry, as well as real off-road capability. It's got a tall-ish stance, with the big, 21-inch spoked front wheel, suspended from the 45 mm Showa upside down fork with 200 mm travel. The LED headlight with the LED DRL strip lends a premium touch to the otherwise plain-Jane looks of the Scrambler.

The Scrambler 1200 XC is powered by the Bonneville 1200 cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine tuned to put out 89 bhp at 7,400 rpm and 110 Nm of peak torque at 3,950 rpm. The engine has a nice meaty torque, coming in low in the revs, and the 89 bhp of power is more than enough to keep things interesting.
