2019 Scrambler 1200XE Triumph Classic Bike – Features

The Original Scramblers & Genesis for Today’s Scrambler Scene

The new Scrambler 1200 line-up is descended from an unrivaled bloodline that can be traced back to the early 1950s Scrambler scene when Triumph played an essential part and established the standard for what made a scrambler spectacular. Triumphs were the first and actual desert sleds, building the top motorcycles of the day, stripped down with straight-through ‘twin pipes’ fitted high or low slung and cut off. With the Bonneville T-120TT and TR6’SC’, the world’s first production scramblers were born.

These were the motorcycles that Steve McQueen rode in the desert, that Bud Ekins raced in the dirt and won, and that participated in one of the most challenging desert races of all time, the Baja 1000. Triumph launched the first modern age’ Scrambler in 2006, heralding the birth of a new category once again. It sparked the contemporary world of Scramblers, as well as a whole new worldwide fan base, ranging from street riders to movie stars, all smitten by the famous Triumph scrambler style and timeless design.

Two Benchmark Setting New Scrambler 1200s

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 lineup includes two all-new versions. The range-topping Scrambler 1200 XE, which takes the specification to the maximum level and its off-road prowess and scrambling credentials to the very top of the motorcycling world, and the Scrambler 1200 XC, which is designed for the road and true off-road riding enjoyment.

Thrilling Performance

The newest generation Bonneville High Power 1200cc engine in both new Scramblers delivers category-leading torque and a dedicated scrambler tune.’ The sleek six-speed transmission provides smooth, linear power thanks to the distinctive 270° firing interval.

The 1200 engine, which was developed mainly for the Scrambler, produces 90 PS @ 7,400 rpm, which is 12.5 percent more power than the Bonneville T120 and 38 percent more than the 2019 Street Scrambler.

The Scrambler 1200 engine unit is also geared to offer ‘high torque’ off-road and on, low and mid-range, with peak torque of 110Nm at only 3,950 rpm. It is also 37.5 percent more than the Street Scrambler.

A finely built dual high-level exhaust system with stainless steel headers and brushed stainless steel silencers deliver the Scrambler soundtrack for a deep, punchy scrambler sound.

The Scrambler 1200 engine, like the rest of the new generation Bonneville, offers superior contemporary classic capabilities with ride-by-wire and a sensitively fitted liquid cooling system for improved performance and cleaner, more fuel-efficient riding.

The first major service interval on both Scrambler 1200 variants is 10,000 miles/16,000 kilometers.

Category Dominating Capability

The Scrambler 1200s take capabilities to new heights with a class-leading standard of rider-focused technology, including:

TFT instruments of the second generation Both versions have Triumph’s newest generation full-color TFT instruments, which have a beautiful look and two programmable information layout design themes. It contains a brand-new function that lets the rider change the message on the start-up screen to their name.

There are six different riding modes available, including ‘Off-Road Pro.’ Road, Rain, Off-Road, Sport, and Rider configurable riding modes are available on both models, allowing the throttle response, ABS settings, and traction control settings to be adjusted to fit the rider’s desire and riding circumstances.

In addition to these five settings, the Scrambler 1200 XE has an ‘Off-Road Pro’ mode that provides our most off-road-oriented setup for expert adventure riding and scrambling. The ‘Off-Road Pro’ mode disables ABS and traction control, and the throttle map is set to ‘Off-Road.’

Optimized Cornering ABS – supported by an IMU (XE only)

The Optimized Cornering ABS, which comes standard on the Scrambler XE, is a Scrambler XE-only feature. Regardless of the lean angle, this ensures optimal braking performance. Switchable ABS is standard on the Scrambler 1200 XC, and the three ABS settings are chosen manually through the Rider-configurable riding mode.

Optimized Cornering Traction Control – supported by an IMU (XE only)

Optimized Cornering Traction Control comes standard on the Scrambler 1200 XE, automatically adjusting the degree of traction control according to the riding circumstances. It keeps the bike’s lean angle at the optimal amount of traction control. Instead, the Scrambler XC has switchable traction control with five ride modes set manually via the Rider-configurable riding mode.

IMU – Inertial Measurement Unit (XE only)

A sophisticated Inertial Measurement Unit supports the Scrambler 1200 XE’s Optimized Cornering ABS and Traction Control (IMU) developed with Continental. It continuously measures roll, pitch, yaw, lean angle, and acceleration rates and responds with active safety features as needed.

All LED lighting with DRL headlight

All LED lighting is standard on both Scrambler 1200 variants, including a 5-inch headlamp, tail light with new diffused opacity details, and indicators (in applicable markets).

LED Daytime Running Lights (*in eligible markets) are also included in the headlamp, providing outstanding visibility and a distinguishing light profile.

Backlit switches that are illuminated Both Scrambler versions include backlit buttons with LEDs embedded within the switch cubes, which improve rider engagement and control by providing a mellow glow in all lighting circumstances.

Clutch with torque assists Designed to lessen the rider’s clutch lever effort, giving the grip a lighter touch and feel, making it easier to ride for extended periods.

Ignition without a key Both models come standard with Triumph’s key-less ignition system. The system detects the proximity of the keyless fob and then turns on the engine using the start button on the switch cube. For even more security, the key’s wireless transmission function can be turned off with the touch of a button.

Grips that are heated The Scrambler 1200 XE has heated grips as standard, and the Scrambler 1200 XC has heated grips as an option. With two modes, these are neatly integrated with a button on the left handgrip for greater rider comfort.

Cruise control is an impressive feature that allows you to drive Both Scrambler models to come standard with electronic cruise control. This single-button system is installed in the switch cube on the left side. For maximum convenience and safety, this feature can be accessed while riding.

Charging via USB Both of the new Scramblers have a 5-volt USB power outlet for charging personal devices. It is built into a fresh foam-lined storage compartment beneath the seat.

World’s first integrated Go Pro control system

For any motorcycle, this is a world-first. Triumph introduces an integrated Go Pro control system that makes it easier to use your Go Pro camera, thanks to a Bluetooth module built into the accessory.

The TFT instruments display the connection and control, allowing intuitive video and photo operation via the switchgear.

Navigation system with turn-by-turn directions Another Triumph first is integrating a turn-by-turn navigation system powered by Google TM, which is the company’s first motorcycle manufacturer collaboration. The navigation system is made possible by a Bluetooth connectivity module added as an accessory. The instruments display turn symbols on the screen using simple graphic icons once the rider has nominated the route on the Triumph app and set off. The rider has a navigation system, a route planner, their final destination, and points of interest such as hotels, gas stations, and restaurants at their disposal with this system.

Triumph App

Riders can get the all-new Triumph app for iOS and Android phones for free, including the connected navigation feature. The rider can control the navigation, route planner, final destination, and points of interest (hotels, fuel, restaurants, and so on) through this app.

Integrated phone and music operation

An all-new Scrambler 1200s have full Bluetooth phone integration, with a clear display on the color TFT instruments and intuitive phone operation via the switch gear, allowing the worthy rider to select music, control volume, and take calls. It is made possible by a Bluetooth module attached to the accessory.
