Given that it is a modern motor, the electronic aids further enhance the fun quotient. With 100Nm produced at as low as 2000rpm, you have an abundance of torque at any point in the rev range. The 1200cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin motor impressed by just how easy it is to have fun with as little revs as possible.

However, you can tweak all this to your liking, thanks to full adjustability at both ends.ĭespite its dual-purpose nature, the Metzeler Tourance tyres seemed to be doing a better job of gripping the tarmac than sliding around on dirt. While the rear Ohlins RSUs too were set on the firmer side, it did not upset the riding dynamics. Under stock setting, the front suspension is set on the firmer side causing the front end to bounce around. Both sides get a massive 200mm of wheel travel. Suspension setup includes fully adjustable Showa upside-down forks and twin Ohlins piggyback shock absorbers. They still offer more than enough progression and you can trust them with your life to keep you the right side up.
The Scrambler 1200 XC gets top-spec Brembo M50 monoblocs, though they have a slightly dialled down bite, considering the intended off-road use. It also has the potential to singe your right calf when you decide to grip the bike, standing up on the pegs.
The upswept scrambler-style exhaust has a deep, bassy rumble, but can get quite hot at slow speeds and at standstill. It gets a 16-litre fuel tank and with a claimed fuel efficiency figure of slightly over 20kmpl, you are looking at a range of approximately 300km on a tankful. Wind protection is next to nothing, but Triumph will sell you a windshield as well as other touring accessories.

Triumph has also thrown Bluetooth connectivity with turn-by-turn navigation into the mix. It has two themes and relays a whole lot of information on the go.
Modern bits come in the form of Triumph’s second-gen colour TFT screen. Off-road crash protection is limited to just an aluminium bash-plate, so you might want to invest in knuckle protectors, engine guards and the usual protection kit. The minimalist design means that there is little to no bodywork to damage. While every other bike manufacturer seems to be coming up with its own vision of what a neo-retro scrambler should look like, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XChas stuck to its guns by staying as close to the original British scramblers of yore as possible. We got to ride this new and more offroad-focused Scrambler in India and here are our views about it with detailed images. Triumph has launched its new hardcore Scrambler 1200 XC in India at Rs 10.73 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
