Triumph 2021 Scrambler 1200 XC Modern Classics Bike – Features and Price
All of the Scrambler 1200’s Class Leading Capability
The Scrambler 1200 XE and XC for 2021 are the newest version of one of the most competent and unusual bikes on the market, as well as one of Triumph’s most high-spec models. A true class-defining cross between two motorcycle worlds, with the classic design and character of a Triumph Modern Classic, paired with the capabilities and specifications of a full-on adventure motorbike.
Enhanced For 2021
The new Scrambler 1200 XC and XE, along with the rest of Triumph’s legendary contemporary classic line-up, includes a Euro 5 engine development that preserves all of the Scrambler’s famed power and torque delivery while lowering emissions. The next generation upgrade also has a redesigned exhaust system that improves heat dispersion.
Thrilling Performance
The Triumph 2021 Scrambler 1200 XC Modern Classics Bike is powered by Triumph’s newest iteration of the 1200cc high-power British twin. The engine change, which is new for 2021, reduces emissions and meets or exceeds Euro 5 criteria. The result is fantastic torque from low down right through the rev range, thanks to a standard inertia crank and a high compression cylinder head, as well as a dedicated Scrambler tune, which was specifically developed to give the perfect balance of power and torque delivery for both road and off-road riding.
At only 4,500 rpm, peak torque reaches 110Nm, while peak power of 90PS comes at 7,250 rpm. The dual high-level exhaust system, modified for Euro 5 compliance with increased heat distribution, delivers the characteristic Scrambler sound created by the 1200cc 8-valve parallel twin engine.
Category-Dominating Specification and Capability
The 2021 Scrambler 1200 has all the category-leading specifications and features that give these bikes their distinctive cross-over Classic and Adventure capabilities.
With 250mm front and rear wheel travel, the class-leading long travel suspension provides tremendous off-road prowess and ground clearance, as well as an enjoyable road riding experience. The Ohlins dual spring rear shocks and the high-spec upside-down Showa front forks are completely adjustable for preload, compression, and rebound damping, allowing for outstanding comfort and handling on various conditions, from city streets to rugged off-road tracks.
The category-leading new Brembo M50 radial monobloc calipers with dual 320mm floating discs in the front and the Brembo caliper with a single disc on the rear provide superior stopping power. The ABS, which comes standard on both models, is responsible for the superb braking performance.
High-spec wire-spoked wheels with aluminum rims and a side-laced design come standard on the Scrambler 1200, enabling tubeless tires to be used. Metzeler Tourance tires are the regular fit. However, Pirelli Scorpion Rally tires are advised as an acceptable alternate choice for more intense off-road usage.
The Scrambler 1200’s outstanding off-road prowess and commanding riding posture are aided by the 21″ front wheel, providing excellent vision on and off the road. The Scrambler 1200 has a dominating posture and attitude thanks to its wide adjustable handlebar position and adjustable folding foot controls on the XE variant.
Class-Leading Technology
The new Scrambler 1200 XC and XE are loaded with cutting-edge technology and rider assistance, and they set the bar. Both versions have full-color TFT instruments with two design themes and three display arrangement choices, enabling the rider to customize the amount of information shown according to their preferences. The rider’s name may also be added to the TFT start-up routine. The multi-functional TFT display is operated by a 5-way joystick and additional controls positioned on the handlebar, all of which are lighted for more straightforward navigation in the dark. The TFTs are legible in all lighting circumstances owing to the high and low contrast displays, and the changeable screen angle fits every rider’s height thanks to the ability to alter it.
The accessory-fit My Triumph connection system is also pre-enabled on the new Scrambler 1200. Through easy handlebar controls and a TFT interface, the rider may access phone calls, play music, utilize turn-by-turn navigation, and manage a Go-Pro.
The six riding modes – Road, Rain, Off-Road, Sport, Off-Road Pro (available on the XE only) and Rider-Configurable – are enabled by Triumph’s newest generation ride-by-wire system, which offers responsive and accurate throttle control at all times. Except for the Off-Road and Off-Road Pro modes, which can only be chosen while driving, the riding methods change throttle response, traction control, and ABS settings for increased safety and optimal performance in all riding circumstances.
The Scrambler 1200 XE also has optimized-cornering ABS and traction control, which alter the degree of involvement to preserve the best ride possible at any lean angle. The Inertial Measurement Unit controls these characteristics, measuring the bike’s roll, pitch, yaw, and acceleration rates to determine the slight angle and adjust braking and traction control appropriately, assuring enhanced rider stability.
The Scrambler 1200 has LED lights on the front and back, as well as LED indicators, for decreased energy use, higher durability, and enhanced visibility (market specific). LED daytime running lights are combined into the headlamp, providing improved visibility and a unique front-end appearance (market specific).
Torque-assist clutch, cruise control, keyless ignition, an under-seat USB charging socket, and inner wiring ready to plug in the accessory fit new heated grips, which have three modes and are accessed through an intuitive button built into the left grip, are all standard on both of the 2021 Scrambler 1200 models.
Modern Custom Style features Category-Leading Finish and Detailing
These motorcycles provide all the trademarks of an authentic scrambler by combining Triumph’s original Scrambler DNA with superbly made contemporary bespoke flair. The new 2021 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC and XE offer natural scrambler-defining flair, from the classic shape with its high-level dual exhaust to the dominating height and elegance.
The engine has the identical machined engine fins and black engine covers as every other Bonneville, as well as the traditional maker’s-mark triangle Triumph engine logo. The smooth contoured 16-liter fuel tank, with brushed aluminum Monza fuel cap and brushed steel strap, is a category-leading degree of finish and artistry. The custom-style bench seat, complete with embroidered ribbing and the Triumph logo, completes the distinctive appearance while providing the best riding posture and comfort for any journey.
The Scrambler 1200 has minimal aluminum mudguards, a sculpted side panel with a brushed aluminum Scrambler 1200 emblem, an aluminum bash plate, and wide-set handlebars to complete the recognizable scrambler design. Hand guards, a Brembo MCS lever, gold forks, and a handmade aluminum long travel swingarm with a high standard shot blasted and anodized finish are all included on the Scrambler 1200 XE.
The new Scrambler 1200 XC and XE are available in three colors for 2021: Cobalt Blue, including a Jet Black stripe, Matt Khaki Green with a Jet Black stripe, or single-tone Sapphire Black.
