The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC is the bigger, and more powerful scrambler model in the Triumph Bonneville family. The Scrambler 1200 XC offers true-blue off-road ability with the styling of a modern classic. Globally, the new Scrambler 1200 is available in two variants - the Scrambler 1200 XC and the even more extreme, top-spec Scrambler 1200 XE. For India though, Triumph has onlyintroduced the Scrambler 1200 XC. But even with less suspension travel than the XE, the 1200 XC is a hard-core Scrambler which can go the distance and take on all kinds of terrain. The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC is priced at Rs. 10.73 lakh (ex-showroom).
The 1200 cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine is more or less the Bonneville 1200 high torque engine of the Triumph Bonneville T120, but the state of tune is different. The Scrambler 1200 XC engine is tuned to have performance which is somewhere between the High Torque 1200 cc engine's power and torque and the Thruxton High Power 1200 cc engine's characteristics. It puts out 89 bhp at 7,400 rpm, but the 110 Nm of peak torque comes in at just 3,950 rpm, which comes in at around 1,000 rpm less than the Thruxton.
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 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC comes with a full-colour TFT screen with a long list of features, and also includes optional Bluetooth connectivity which offers turn-by-turn navigation and even GoPro controls from the handlebar. The Scrambler 1200 XC offers a choice of five riding modes as well - Road, Rain, Sport, Off-Road and a customisable Rider mode.
