Triumph Motorcycles has introduced the latest addition to its Scrambler lineup with the launch of the Scrambler 1200 X in India. Priced at Rs 11.83 lakh (ex-showroom), this adventure-focused motorcycle promises an exhilarating riding experience combined with accessible ergonomics and impressive features.
Accessibility and Design
One of the key highlights of the Triumph Scrambler 1200 X is its lower seat height, which makes it more accommodating for riders of varying heights, especially those on the shorter side. With a seat height set at 820 mm, which can be further lowered to 795 mm, riders can confidently reach the ground and maneuver the bike with ease. This accessibility factor sets it apart from its sibling, the Scrambler 1200 XC.
From a design perspective, the Scrambler 1200 X exudes classic charm with modern accents. Its rugged yet stylish appearance is complemented by signature Triumph design elements, including the iconic tank shape, high-mounted exhausts, and distinctive Scrambler silhouette.
Performance and Handling
At the heart of the Triumph Scrambler 1200 X lies a potent 1,200cc parallel-twin engine, delivering a robust output of 89 BHP and 110 Nm of torque. With five riding modes – Rain, Road, Sport, Off-road, and Rider configurable – riders can tailor the bike’s performance to suit various riding conditions and preferences.
While the Scrambler 1200 X may feature a more basic suspension setup compared to its XC counterpart, it still offers excellent handling and stability on diverse terrain. The telescopic front fork and Marzocchi adjustable mono-shock rear suspension provide a comfortable and controlled ride, whether cruising on highways or tackling off-road trails.
Features and Technology
Equipped with a host of advanced features, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 X ensures a safe and connected riding experience. Riders can stay informed with the digital instrument console, while cornering dual-channel ABS and traction control enhance stability and control in challenging situations.
Despite its rugged capabilities, the Scrambler 1200 X doesn’t compromise on convenience. It boasts a spacious 15-litre fuel tank for extended journeys and weighs in at 228 kg, offering a balanced and manageable ride for riders of all skill levels.
Conclusion
With its accessible ergonomics, robust performance, and stylish design, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 X emerges as a versatile adventure companion for riders seeking excitement both on and off the road. Whether embarking on long-distance tours or exploring scenic trails, this iconic Scrambler promises an unforgettable riding experience for enthusiasts across the country.
