Scrambler 1200 X | Features and Benefits

Hi, I'm Jamie and I'd like to introduce you to the new 2024 Scrambler 1200 XE and all-new Scrambler 1200 X. Delivering the iconic style and character of Triumph's modern classics range with the capability and usability normally only associated with adventure motorcycles, these two new models deliver even more of what makes the Scrambler 1200 so unique. Let's take a closer look at the new Scrambler 1200 X. This new model retains all the core capability of the previous Scrambler XC model but now features several key upgrades including a new lower seat type to bring even more riding enjoyment to a wider range of riders than ever before. Starting with that legendary 1200cc Bonneville engine with a lower inertia crank and higher compression cylinder head, the 1200 X has a dedicated Scrambler tune for the perfect blend of road performance and tractability for riding on all terrains. While the power and torque figures are near identical to the previous model, they only tell part of the story. The engineers have been hard at work to improve how that power and torque are delivered. A new single 50mm throttle body together with a revised exhaust header run that follows a tighter curve and neatly integrates the catalyzer box improves the gas flow. These new parts result in the Scrambler 1200 X's peak power of 90PS arriving a little early in the rev range. As well as creating a more flexible engine, these upgrades also ensure that the Scrambler 1200 X exceeds Euro 5 emissions requirements and delivers excellent fuel economy with the added benefit of optimized exhaust heat management for enhanced rider comfort. A six-speed gearbox and Triumph's refined torque assist clutch also feature on the Scrambler 1200 X. This reduces rider fatigue thanks to a light lever action with a consistent feel regardless of the riding situation as well as contributing towards the narrow engine package. The Scrambler 1200 X also benefits from the very latest generation ride-by-wire throttle. Not only does this guarantee responsive and precise throttle control but it also enables five riding modes that adjust throttle response, ABS and traction control settings, rain, road, sport, off-road and rider. Each offer settings to suit the riding conditions. Each mode is easily accessible via the handlebar mounted controls. Easy to ride and super accessible. The Scrambler 1200 X's all-round appeal has been broadened further by new Mazzocchi suspension components. These updates have been developed to deliver a more road-focused setup with a lower seat height of 820mm. That's 20mm lower than the Scrambler XC model and 50mm lower than the XE making the Scrambler 1200 X manageable for riders of all sizes. Adjustable handlebars offer even more scope to tailor the ergonomics for the perfect riding position. The 45mm diameter USD forks and dual twin spring rear suspension units offer 170mm of front travel with 170mm at the rear for perfect balance and an even better road ride that can be fine-tuned to suit solar riding or carrying a passenger and luggage. Off-road ability however remained uncompromised with the Scrambler 1200 X as capable as ever over rough roads and tracks offering superb confidence in all conditions. The twin piston axial Nissan calipers are paired to 310mm discs up front with a single piston floating caliper and 255mm disc at the rear and with an adjustable span lever even the daintiest of digits can find the perfect feel. ABS is of course a standard feature and this together with the traction control features Triumph's optimised cornering system with inertial measurement unit or IMU to give even more confidence all the way through and out of every turn and both are switchable to meet the demands of off-road riding. Let's check out the beautiful side-laced spoked aluminium tubeless wheels each sized to provide assured handling both on and off-road. The 21-inch front wheel also contributing to the Scrambler 1200 X's commanding riding position. Fitted with Metzeler Karoo street tires performance is biased towards superb road handling but with the capability to venture off-road.
