Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE 2026

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

sound as bassy as ever

Exhaust heat still noticeable

original equipment tyres not up to standard

high centre of gravity

Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster 2026

Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster 2026

The Speedmaster focuses on calmness with character: it accelerates powerfully from low revs, remains flawlessly stable and turns kilometres into an exercise in composure. The ergonomics relax the shoulders and back, the seat provides support without tiring, and the throttle response is linear, precise and never nervous. On the motorway, it feels safe and quiet; on open country roads, it invites you to flow with clean lines instead of forcing the rhythm. The electronics intervene discreetly and the cruise control provides that extra level of comfort that makes all the difference on long days. No heroic gestures - rather the lasting pleasure of travelling with a steady pulse and mechanical authority.

High level of long-distance comfort with supportive ergonomics

very stable directional stability and lines

easy, predictable steering

powerful acceleration from the cellar

unobtrusive, effective electronics including lean angle-dependent traction control and cruise control

low seat height with secure footing

Very low footrests, early touchdown in curves

less charismatic sound than the Bobber

noticeable weight when manoeuvring

limited dynamic reserves at fast country road speeds
