![]() The engine makes peak power a little higher in the rev range and peak torque a little lower, and it’s slightly more fuel-efficient. However, as detailed lower, both Scrambler 1200s offer solid performance and fun on both loose and paved surfaces.Īnd for 2022, Triumph gave the Scrambler 1200 lineup a few tweaks. The XC is less off-road-focused than the XE, though slightly easier to ride around in urban environments, Cycle World explains. Or rather, heirs to that legacy, because the Triumph Scrambler 1200 is available in two regular-production forms: the XC and the XE. The modern Triumph Scrambler 1200, which debuted in 2019, is the heir to that legacy. And Triumph’s bikes, such as the post-war TR models, were commonly seen sliding through the dirt. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, British motorcycles like the BSA Rocket Gold Star were often built into scramblers and flat-trackers. Triumph may only just now be getting into motocross and enduro motorcycles, but the British brand has extensive off-roading experience. Cons: Expensive, heavier than the Ducati.Pros: One of the closest things to a naked adventure bike, plenty of commuting and off-road features, torquey and linear engine.Preload- and rebound-adjustable Kayaba mono-shock 7.9”Ģ022 Triumph Scrambler 1200 2021 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE | Triumph XE: 47mm fully-adjustable Showa inverted forks 9.8”Ĥ6mm fully-adjustable inverted forks 7.9”įully-adjustable Ohlins RSU twin shocks with piggy-back reservoirs 7.9” (XC) and 9.8” (XE) XC: 45mm fully-adjustable Showa inverted forks 7.9” Six-speed manual with slipper-assist clutch But while both can hit the dirt in style, which one is the better off-pavement companion? And two of the most capable are the Triumph Scrambler 1200 and Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled. However, there are a few scramblers that can genuinely go off-road. But while the first scrambler motorcycles were essentially proto dirt bikes, most modern examples tend to mimic the look and not also the capability. ![]()
