Triumph is launching its 2024 Scrambler range, with the introduction of the new Scrambler 1200 X, more affordable, and an improved Scrambler 1200 XE.
With Triumph’s 1200cc ‘High Power’ Bonneville engine with torque-rich performance, a 21-inch front wheel ready for off-road, and Triumph’s premium quality and finishes, the two new models seem ready to raise the bar in terms of performance and style in the Scrambler category.
The new Scrambler 1200 X offers the same capability, riding position, and torque-rich performance that Scrambler customers love, combined with a generous equipment and technology specification. Built to be more affordable, the Scrambler 1200 X has a seat height of 820mm, reducing to 795mm with the low seat accessory, a generous dedicated specification that offers good functionality at a more competitive price and a maintenance interval of 16,000 km to reduce costs during ownership.
The ‘cool’ and capable Scrambler 1200 XE also hits the road with sporty upgrades, including state-of-the-art Brembo Stylema® calipers, new suspension with improved adjustability, enhanced style details, and improved touring capability.
With a high specification and technology that customers value, the new Scrambler 1200 X features: – New MarzocchiTM suspension, 45 mm USD fork and rear shock absorbers with piggyback reservoirs and preload adjustment capability, providing an optimized 170 mm wheel travel for road riding – Advanced rider technology (not installed in the previous Scrambler XC) to make the Scrambler X even better on the road, including new ABS optimized for curves, and switchable optimized cornering traction control – Multifunction instruments with integrated TFT display – Five riding modes, including Off-road – Fully LED lighting, including exclusive DRL headlight, compact taillight, and new contemporary slim indicators – USB charging – Connectivity activation accessory, turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth phone, or music operation. Updates for the Scrambler 1200 XE in 2024 include:- Radial monobloc Brembo Stylema® calipers updated with 320 mm dual floating discs and single-piston Nissin caliper at the rear • Optimized MarzocchiTM 45mm USD forks and twin-spring shock absorbers with piggyback reservoirs – New MarzocchiTM suspension optimized with long wheel travel of 250 mm both front and rear, fully adjustable – with increased adjustability – Revised intake and exhaust manifolds providing a broader torque distribution across the upper range of rotations – Enhanced styling details, including new slim LED indicators and compact LED taillight – Improved touring capability with high screen as an accessory and robust luggage system with options for rear panniers accessories. EXCITING PERFORMANCE  Both models feature the same 1200 cc Bonneville twin-cylinder engine and torque-rich Scrambler tuning with a new 50 mm single throttle body and revised exhaust manifolds, providing improved flow and greater torque distribution across the upper range of rotations, from 5,000 RPM to the redline.The 2024 models have also been finely tuned to provide the perfect balance of power delivery for on-road and off-road riding. Peak power now arrives a little earlier in the rev range, reaching 90 hp at 7,000 RPM, with peak torque of 110 Nm also arriving earlier, at 4,250 RPM. The distinctive high-spec dual exhaust system is completed by brushed stainless steel silencers, providing that deep and characteristic Scrambler tone. PREMIUM SPECIFICATION Both variants share the same tubular steel Scrambler frame, as well as high-spec stainless steel spoked wheels with lightweight and durable aluminum rims. The two models offer significant ergonomic differences, including different handlebar designs, with the XE offering 65 mm more width than the X, ensuring greater control on challenging off-road terrain. The reversible risers allow riders to adjust the handlebar position, and the XE also features a removable spacer for a 10 mm height adjustment. Further expanding ergonomics, the XE also has adjustable foot controls to accommodate a variety of riding styles and footwear.Both motorcycles feature a premium cast aluminum dual-sided swingarm. With 579 mm, the XE has a swingarm 32 mm longer and a longer wheelbase than the X, increasing control and confidence on difficult off-road terrains, while the shorter wheelbase of the X contributes to agile and responsive road handling.
These motorcycles are also equipped with top-of-the-line Metzeler tires. The X benefits from the Karoo Street, focused on road and dual-purpose, while the XE variant receives the Metzeler Tourance, contributing to its unparalleled balance of on-road and off-road capabilities. For even more extreme off-road capabilities, the Triumph-approved Michelin Anakee Wild tire is the tire of choice.
Both models are equipped with high-spec suspension. The X variant features 45mm MarzocchiTM cartridge forks more tailored for road use upfront and twin shock units at the rear. The rear suspension units come with adjustable piggy-back reservoirs for preload, allowing customers to fine-tune their on-road and off-road riding experience.
The XE has a more off-road-focused setup, with optimized 45mm MarzocchiTM forks and premium dual spring MarzocchiTM suspension units that are fully adjustable and have more incremental adjustment for compression and rebound, providing even greater control. This optimized suspension provides a significant wheel travel of 250mm front and rear for increased off-road capability and good ground clearance.
STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT
When it comes to braking, both models feature top-of-the-line equipment to ensure efficiency on both road and off-road. The XE boasts powerful front BremboTM Stylema® Monoblock radial calipers with state-of-the-art floating double 320 mm discs, providing class-leading braking performance. While the front is taken care of, the rear is managed by a 255 mm disc with Nissin caliper, further maximizing braking performance.
The X model features two 310 mm floating front discs, with Nissin dual-piston axial calipers. Meanwhile, the rear is supported by a 255 mm rear disc and a Nissin floating brake caliper, to provide confident braking performance on the road. The position of the front brake lever can also be adjusted according to the driver’s preference on both models. WITH NEW AND IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY FOCUSED ON THE RIDER Both the Scrambler X and XE feature optimized ABS and traction control in curves, adjusting intervention to provide and maintain ideal traction at any lean angle.There are five available riding modes for the Scrambler 1200 X, each with its 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 experienced riders full and uninterrupted control for the most challenging off-road riding.
Greater riding stability is achieved thanks to a high-specification Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) developed in collaboration with Continental. This system allows for optimized cornering ABS and traction control, automatically selecting the correct setting by measuring roll rates, lean angles, yaw, and acceleration to calculate the lean angle. With a focus on improving the overall riding experience, both the X and XE are equipped with an assist clutch.
The Scrambler 1200 XE includes integrated and customizable color TFT instruments. Two minimal and elegant information layout design themes are available, each with three more options to change the level of information displayed. The choice between a high or low contrast screen is also available, as well as a custom start screen to make the latest Scrambler XE completely yours.
The Scrambler 1200 X features its own hybrid LCD/TFT multifunction display, incorporated into an elegantly styled circular instrument dial. This compact and minimalist screen can be easily read at a glance.
UNMISTAKABLE CUSTOM STYLE OF THE SCRAMBLER
Both models feature key elements that make the Scrambler simply unmistakable, from their distinct silhouettes to the high dual exhaust design and beautifully sculpted fuel tank. Both models feature a classic single-piece ribbed seat, in black for the XE and brown for the X, and both feature enhanced style details in the form of a new slim indicator design and compact rear light housing.
Motorcycles are complete with a variety of finishes and striking details, including sculpted side panels with brushed aluminum Scrambler 1200 emblem, the iconic triangular Triumph emblem on the tank, a Monza-style brushed aluminum filler cap, and a brushed stainless steel bracelet.

OS SCRAMBLERS ORIGINAIS E A CENA SCRAMBLER DE HOJE
A nova linha Scrambler 1200 pode ir buscar as suas raízes diretamente à cena original da Scrambler do início dos anos 1950, onde a Triumph desempenhou um papel fundamental e definiu o modelo para o que se tornou uma Scrambler de maior porte. Construindo a partir das principais motos do quotidiano, despojadas, com “escapes duplos” direitos montados
em posição elevada, ou baixa e cortados – as Triumphs eram os originais ‘desert sled’. Estas inspiraram as primeiros scramblers de produção do mundo, com a Bonneville T 120TT e a TR6 ‘SC’. Em 2006, com o lançamento da primeira Scrambler da “era moderna”, a Triumph voltou provocar a génese de uma nova categoria. Isso desencadeou o mundo de Scramblers que vemos hoje e toda uma nova base global de fãs, de pilotos urbanos a estrelas de cinema, até mesmo com lugar de estrela no último filme de Bond, Sem Tempo para Morrer.
