Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE 2026

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE combines strong character with real versatility. It looks great, sounds fantastic, convinces on the road and gravel, but demands respect in handling and behaviour. Not an all-rounder for everyone, but a special niche bike with a lot of personality and a not inconsiderable price.

superb engine

beautiful to look at

full electronics package that can be completely deactivated if required

sublime riding experience, good bike for tall people

customisable ergonomics

pleasingly low fuel consumption and emissions

sound as bassy as ever

Exhaust heat still noticeable

original equipment tyres not up to standard

high centre of gravity

limited steering angle

sluggish direction changes

limited ergonomics when standing

sensitive in the event of a rollover
