Pros and Cons in comparison

Indian FTR Rally 2023

Just like the very first FTR 1200, the Indian FTR Rally is a deceptive package that you shouldn't be angry with because it reaches its limits very early on in off-road terrain despite off-road tyres. Instead, you can be pleased that this naked bike is surprisingly comfortable and convenient with good performance in terms of handling and braking. This means that the FTR Rally perfectly embodies the scrambler concept. The powerful V2 engine helps it to be labelled a power scrambler. The weaknesses in the display and the small tank volume fall into the category of acceptable shortcomings, which should not put you off buying it.

Powerful V2 engine with lots of charisma and plenty of power

easy handling despite high weight

unique concept

independent look

complete equipment

good brakes

comfortable riding position

Only 13 litre tank capacity

quickshifter not even available as an accessory

too long start sequence of the electronics on the display

high price

Triumph Scrambler 1200 X 2024

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
