Updated Scrambler 1200 XE – For the road, for adventure touring, for
extreme off-road fun
New Scrambler 1200 X – For the road and beyond, built to be more
accessible.
Triumph is launching its Scrambler line-up for 2024, with the introduction of the new, more
accessible Scrambler 1200 X, and an enhanced top-specification Scrambler 1200 XE.
Featuring the Triumph high-torque 1200cc Bonneville engine with powerful performance, off-
road ready 21-inch front wheel, and a premium quality and finish, the two new models will
raise the bar even higher for performance and style in the Scrambler category.
The new Scrambler 1200 X delivers the same exceptional core capability, commanding
riding position, and torque-rich performance Scrambler customers love, combined with a
generous specification of equipment and technology. Built to be more accessible, the
Scrambler 1200 X has a seat height of 32.28” (820mm), reducing to 31.29” (795mm) with the
accessory low seat, a dedicated specification that offers exceptional functionality at a more
competitive price, and a 10,000mile (16,000km) service interval to lower the cost of
ownership.
The cool and capable Scrambler 1200 XE also hits the road in the new year sporting
updates including latest-generation Brembo Stylema ® calipers, new suspension with
enhanced adjustability, enhanced styling details, and improved touring capability.
Steve Sargent – Chief Product Officer, Triumph Motorcycles
“Built for both on-road and off-road adventures, the new Scrambler 1200 XE sets an even
higher bar for performance, capability, and modern classic style. The Scrambler 1200 X is a
new choice for our customers, optimized to deliver the specification riders have asked for,
with a lower seat height, even more competitive pricing, and an even better road ride than
the previous Scrambler 1200 XC.”
With the high specification and technology that customers value, the new Scrambler 1200 X
features:
New Marzocchi TM suspension, 1.77” (45mm) USD forks and RSU with piggyback
reservoirs and preload adjustability delivering 6.69” (170mm) wheel travel optimized
for road riding.
Advanced rider technology (not fitted to the previous Scrambler 1200 XC) to make
the Scrambler 1200 X even better on the road, including new optimized cornering
ABS, switchable optimized cornering traction control.
Multifunction instruments with an integrated TFT display
Five riding modes, including Off-road
USB charging
Accessory activated connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth phone & music
operation.
Updates for the Scrambler 1200 XE in 2024 include:
Updated latest generation Brembo Stylema ® radial monoblock calipers with twin
floating 320mm discs, and single piston Nissin caliper on the rear
Optimized Marzocchi TM 1.77” (45mm) USD forks and ‘twin-spring’ RSUs with
piggyback reservoirs
New optimized Marzocchi TM suspension with long 9.84” (250mm) wheel travel front
and rear is fully adjustable with enhanced adjustability
Revised intake & exhaust headers delivering a broader spread of torque through the
upper rev range
Enhanced styling details including new compact taillight
Improved touring capability with accessory high screen and rugged luggage system
with tail bag accessory options.
THRILLING PERFORMANCE
Both models sport the same 1200cc Bonneville twin engine and torque-rich Scrambler tune
with a new, single 1.96” (50mm) throttle body and revised exhaust headers, delivering
improved flow and a broader spread of torque through the upper rev-range, from 5,000 RPM
through to the redline.
The 2024 models have also been precisely tuned to deliver the perfect balance of power
delivery for both on and off-road riding. Peak power now arrives slightly earlier in the rev
range, reaching 89 HP at 7,000 RPM, with peak torque of 81 Ft-Lb also arriving earlier, at
4,250 RPM.
The unmistakable high-specification twin-exhaust system is completed by brushed stainless
steel silencers, delivering that trademark deep and characterful Scrambler tone.
PREMIUM SPECIFICATION
Both variants share the same dedicated tubular steel Scrambler frame, as well as high
specification side-laced stainless steel wire spoked wheels with lightweight and durable
aluminum rims. The two models provide key ergonomic differences, including different
handlebar designs, with the XE measuring 2.56” (65mm) wider than the X ensuring greater
control on more challenging off-road terrain. Reversible risers enable riders to adjust the
handlebar position, and the XE also features a removable spacer, for a .39” (10mm) height
adjustment. Expanding ergonomics even further, the XE also boasts adjustable foot controls
to suit a variety of riding styles and footwear.
Both bikes feature a twin-sided, premium cast aluminum swing arm. At 22.8” (579mm), the
XE has a 1.26” (32mm) longer swingarm and a longer wheelbase than the X, enhancing
control and confidence on difficult off-road terrain, while the X’s shorter wheelbase
contributes to an agile and responsive road-ride.
These bikes are also equipped with top of the range Metzeler tires. The X benefits from the
road-focused, dual-purpose Karoo Street, while the XE variant runs on Metzeler Tourance,
contributing to its unparalleled balance of road and off-road capability. For even more
extreme off-road capability, the Triumph-approved Michelin Anakee Wild is the tire of choice.
Both models are kitted out with high specification suspension. The X variant features road
biased Marzocchi TM 45mm cartridge forks at the front and suspension units supporting at the
rear. The rear suspension units come with piggy-back reservoirs and adjustable preload,
allowing customers to fine tune their riding experience on the road and beyond.
The XE has a more off-road focused setup, with optimized Marzocchi TM 45mm forks and
premium, twin spring Marzocchi TM suspension units which are fully adjustable and have more
incrementality in adjustment for compression and rebound, giving even greater control. This
optimized suspension provides a significant 250mm of wheel travel front and rear for
unparalleled off-road capability and ground clearance.
STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENT.
When it comes to braking, both models feature state of the art equipment for guaranteed
efficiency across road and dirt. The XE boasts powerful latest generation Brembo TM
Stylema® radial Monoblock front calipers with twin 12.6” (320mm) floating discs, providing
class-leading braking performance. While the front is taken care of, the rear is held down by
a 10.04 (255mm) disk with a Nissin caliper, further maximizing braking performance.
The X model features twin 310mm floating front discs, with Nissin twin-piston axial calipers.
Meanwhile, the rear is supported by a 10.04” (255mm) rear disc and a Nissin floating brake
caliper, to deliver a confident braking performance on the road. The front brake lever position
can also be adjusted to the rider’s preference on both models.
FEATURING NEW AND IMPROVED RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY.
The Scrambler X and XE both feature optimized cornering ABS and optimized cornering
traction control, regulating intervention to deliver and maintain optimum traction at any lean
angle. Five rider modes are available for the Scrambler 1200 X, each with their own
dedicated throttle response and specific ABS and traction control settings. Riders can
choose from Sport, Road, Rain, Off-Road and Rider Configurable, while the XE also has Off-
Road Pro to allow the experienced rider complete uninterrupted control for the most
challenging off-road riding.
Greater riding stability is achieved thanks to a high specification Inertial Measurement Unit
(IMU) which has been developed in conjunction with Continental. This system enables the
optimization of cornering ABS and Traction control, automatically selecting the correct
setting by measuring roll, pitch, yaw, and acceleration rates to calculate lean angle. With
particular focus on enhancing the overall riding experience, the X and XE are both equipped
with a torque assist clutch.
The Scrambler 1200 XE features integrated and customizable full color TFT instruments.
Two minimal and stylish information layout design themes are available, each with a further
three options to change the level of information displayed. The choice between a high or low
contrast display is also available, as well as personalized start up screen to make the latest
Scrambler XE feel more like your own.
The Scrambler 1200 X features a dedicated hybrid multi-function LCD/TFT display,
incorporated in an elegantly styled circular instrument dial. This compact, and minimal
display can be easily read at a glance.
UNMISTAKABLE SCRAMBLER CUSTOM STYLE.
Both models feature the key elements that make the Scrambler simply unmistakable, from
their distinctive silhouettes to the signature high-level twin exhaust design and beautifully
sculpted fuel tank. Both models feature a classic one-piece ribbed bench seat, in black for
the XE and brown for the X and both boast enhanced styling details and compact taillight
housing.
The bikes are complete with a variety of striking finishes and details, including sculpted side
panels with brushed aluminum Scrambler 1200 badge, the iconic Triumph triangle tank
badge, a brushed aluminum Monza-style filler cap and brushed stainless strap. The XE is
finished with brushed aluminum mudguards, while the X features high quality painted
mudguards.
There are three unique color schemes available for each model. The Scrambler 1200 XE will
be available in contemporary Phantom Black & Storm Grey, which features red accents, the
bold new Baja Orange & Phantom Black, or ever-popular Sapphire Black. The Scrambler
1200 X is available in rich Carnival Red, cool Ash Grey, or classic Sapphire Black.
TAILOR YOUR SCRAMBLER.
More than 70 genuine accessories are available to bring an even greater touring capability,
ranging from heated grips, 9.25 Gallon (35 L) tail bag and high ‘Dakar’ screen, to high-level
front mudguard, handlebar brace and stainless-steel engine bars. The complete rugged
luggage system now offers 26.95 Gal (102 L) of total stowage capacity.
THE ORIGINAL SCRAMBLERS & ; TODAY’S SCRAMBLER SCENE
The new Scrambler 1200 line-up can trace its roots directly back to the original Scrambler
scene of the early 1950’s, where Triumph played a pivotal role and set the template for what
made a Scrambler great. Building the leading bikes of the day, stripped back with straight-
through ‘twin pipes’ fitted high or low slung and chopped off – Triumphs were the original
desert sleds. These inspired the world’s first production scramblers, with the Bonneville T-
120TT and the TR6’SC’. In 2006, with the launch of the very first ‘modern era’ Scrambler,
Triumph again delivered the genesis of a new category. This triggered the world of
Scramblers we see today and a whole new global fan base, from urban riders to movie stars,
even featuring in the latest Bond film, No Time to Die.
ON THE ROAD
The Scrambler 1200 X will start from $13,595 USD and $14,795 CAD. The Scrambler 1200
XE will start from $15,295 USD and $16,595 CAD. Orders can be placed now at Triumph
dealers, with bikes arriving for retail from February, 2024.
