Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Speed Twin 1200 RS 2025

With the new Speed Twin 1200 models, Triumph offers two exceptional machines that combine retro looks and modern technology in an appealing way. The powerful 1200cc parallel twin now meets state-of-the-art electronics and spoils you with a marvellous sound. The elegantly equipped RS feels most at home on winding roads. The sporty ergonomics with an active riding position, the precisely tuned firm suspension, the quickshifter and the marvellous Brembo brakes make it the perfect choice for ambitious riders. Despite the sporty design, the ride comfort remains surprisingly good.

powerful punch from the revs

high-quality workmanship

sporty suspension

successful looks

high-end components

accessible seat height

quickshifter as standard

agile handling

Compact dimensions could be a problem for tall riders on long journeys

heat development of the engine when stationary

dashboard and cockpit cannot keep up visually with the rest of the bike

Triumph Scrambler 1200 X 2025

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 X is an emotional and powerful bike that feels just as comfortable on long touring tours as it does on challenging winding roads. With its charismatic engine and stable geometry, it conveys a powerful riding experience and attracts attention with its striking design. But it also impresses in practical terms, particularly with its versatility and suitability for everyday use. However, there are weaknesses in the features and handling, which should not go unmentioned for a bike in this price range.

magnificent engine

beautiful appearance

full electronics package

large scrambler (also) for small people

pleasingly low fuel consumption and emissions

sound as bassy as ever

good everyday suitability for lengthy tours

reliable, lean angle-dependent traction control.

Limited lean angle freedom

Exhaust heat still noticeable

Suspension not adjustable except for rear suspension preload

ABS too defensive on slippery tarmac

Noticeable vibrations at high speeds
