Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE 2019

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE 2019

The Triumph is primarily a scrambler motorbike. And such a good one, in fact, that this wonderfully unreasonable and brutal fun machine can also be chased into difficult terrain. It reminds us why we love motorbikes: it provides great moments in the saddle, but also has practical disadvantages. Because off-road it is a mighty iron and can easily keep up with touring enduros, if not outdo them. With the lack of a windshield and limited space for luggage, it naturally loses out in terms of touring suitability. All in all, a fascinating motorbike that attracts a lot of attention.

beautiful exterior

high-quality components

great chassis

powerful, high-torque engine

works very well off-road

Limited touring suitability

very high, can be problematic for smaller pilots

somewhat tippy turn-in behaviour

right leg burns possible due to high-mounted exhaust.
