This ticks every box I could possibly want... easily capable for anything I’d be doing off-road, big enough to be hellish comfy on motorway stretches, massive luggage options, the coolest looking thing since McQueen raced an original. I really need to sell something, my ST, a kidney, my soul! Everything the Africa Twin has, but in the most beautiful package that looks like a motorbike. Ted Simons 21st century ride! Where do I sign- and how can I hide it from the wife!!!

Daniel Parkinson luggage options? Motorway stretches? I think that’s the only places it’s lacking, in every other respect it’s spot on... maybe not pillion comfort as well. You’d need a screen for long motorway hauls which would make it look a bit silly I think. Also in terms of luggage I haven’t seen anything for this or the smaller one yet? Just some small leather bags that are just a token effort
@danp6755
@danp6755 6 жыл бұрын
Scot Wilson - yeah absolutely! All that off-road plushness will be like riding a mattress on the motorways- obviously I wouldn’t expect it to handle like my ST on the tight A roads. I’m a fabrication technician so I don’t see anything being too testing for any luggage system once the correct rack is made and fitted- ally boxes or soft bags depending on your intentions. I did 3 weeks in Europe on a naked 1200 Bandit with soft luggage years ago and found no issue not having a screen, plenty of people do rtw epics on duel sports with nothing more than a number board! No bike is perfect for anything more than it’s intended purpose, this actually IS a scrambler unlike the other badly named offerings out there. It looks massively capable off road, and on it. How many people ride the hottest litre sports bike to work and back every day, and never see a track or a fraction of its potential, just as many GS riders would freak at the thought of a rain shower or gravel bridleway! Triumph have possibly created something very special with these, and it turns out it’s a motorbike! If you want to drag the missus everywhere you’re clearly not headed off-road anyway, if luggage options are stopping you riding further than the shops you’re probably on a bike for reasons other than loving the ride. A lot of people want an adventure but also want 5* accommodation every night. I’m sure this won’t be everyone’s idea of a perfect bike, but it pretty much looks like mine! (None of the above is aimed at you btw! I’m not here for an argument!)

Great review. All the essential info and some opinion on the difference between the versions. I am definitely the target market for this - I have a GS which is great but I don't use its touring capabilities as I don't have the time with young children. If I only ride Sundays and the occasional weekend away I will probably have more fun on this. Luggage can be a bag strapped on the back and it might come in 25kg lighter than a GS with panniers on. I will be taking a test ride on an XE...

Suspension looks really competent. Bike stays composed recovering from jumps etc, check the headlamp for reference, it hardly moves off line. Impressive. Cant wait to see it up against a 1090R which weighs the exact same 207 kg and up to this point has the best suspension in this weight bracket. The Trumpet will match it I reckon, possibly with 30mm more suspension travel, it may even beat it.

@Bunnyshooter 223 my 650 versys seem to be just fine on the highway. The new 600s have plenty of power these days. The real benefit (for me) of a 600/650 scrumbler is that I would actually consider buying one at a lower cost of a 600 cc engine while keeping the look. Lets be real, the only place these bikes will be riden is on the street due to their weight and awesome appearance. Someone who loves the dirt will buy a real dirt bike not this.

Short, sweet, to the point and absolutely no faffing about. You rock, John. Love the bikes, but, although they are utter works of art, I'd still get a KTM. And although they really sound divine and the two German reviews I've seen so far (Motorradmagazin and 1000ps) like it as well, although Christian from MM prefers the XC, says it's better on the road and almost as good in the dirt, I suspect that Triumph is going to have a wee bit of difficulty shifting many of these. That's partially because GS riders are incredibly brand loyal, no matter what prices or crap BMW throws at them, and partially because Triumph's new Speed Twin will be a better bike for almost all real road riding.

@samrit123in 6 жыл бұрын
*Triumph is going to sell a lot of these.* But you're right, GS owners are not the target audience for this bike (although Africa Twin is already doing a great job eating GS' lunch). The retro market is bigger than anyone realizes (remember how BMW got into the retro segment just to compete with the Bonnies and now Indian also wants to replicate the same by hiring Ola Stenegard, the dude that designed the R NineT range). Duc Scrambler is their highest selling model by a mile, 55000+ units sold. And that bike is nowhere near the XE e in terms of capabilities. Harley, MV Agusta, Norton, Guzzi (V85TT, another retro adv bike) they all have new retros planned for the next couple of years.
@disekjoumoer
@disekjoumoer 6 жыл бұрын
@@samrit123in Yes, you're right, but the retro bikes that are selling well aren't the off-road ones. Ducati's Desert Sled doesn't sell anywhere near as many as their other scramblers. These are, of course far better bikes, but also at much higher prices. I'd absolutely love to have one, for the sound, looks and torque, but in reality I wouldn't want to tour on one or filter through traffic on one either. KTM is bringing a new SMT based on the 790 engine. I'm already saving for that (I have a 990 SMT).

That bike design is a work of art - The only thing that spoils it for me is the exhaust system, it ruins the rest of the looks of the bike. But they do deserve a pat on the back for coming up with that "look", totally unique, it looks absolutely great. Not a big fan of these "revived" named bikes, but this one from Triumph is something else. Anyone on KZbin bought one of these? I am curious about what sorts of problems you get in the first year compared to the 2nd year - How reliable are they, any niggles or silly things that fail? Then again, any Major items that let the bike down?

@scotwilson4169
@scotwilson4169 6 жыл бұрын
ernst jo the power is on another level. The 900 has around 60ftlb and just over 50 bhp, this 1200 has 88 and 89bhp I believe. The 900 was really fun to ride, but it was more of a small-bike novelty feel. Great around back lanes but on the open road it was lacking. I rode the 1200 thruxton and the engine was amazing, I’ve got a Tiger 1200 so I’m used to that sort of power, and the 1200 thruxton didn’t disappoint at all, it actually feels like it’s got more torque - you will only notice the power difference after 80 mph really.

Robert Voigt The engine in this is the high power from the thruxton instead of high torque from the bonnie, so engine will be better. The main thing is suspension, the bonnie, thruxton and bobber Black all have short suspension so on bumpy roads they’re pretty uncomfortable. That’s just my opinion because I have a Tiger 1200 and always had adv bikes so they soaks up bumps really well - so for me the bonnie, thruxton and bobber were fine on smooth roads (but we live in the uk) so on bumpy roads I didn’t like them I absolutely loved riding the thruxton (I had it as a loan bike for 3 days) only disadvantages for me were hard suspension, riding position, luggage capability and motorway comfort ^^So my point is this scrambler should at least sort out the suspension/comfort. Next problem is getting a screen that works but doesn’t look ridiculous..

In the real world, a rider wouldn’t slip on different tyres for different conditions. If you loved the grandad supermoto aspect of the bike and kept the road tyres on, would it still be an off road beast? Or would you be limited to dirt roads? I don’t ask to belittle it, I’ve seen Riding wit Tom’s road video and that’s enough to make a sale in my mind, but I just wonder if all the suspension and electronics is going to be enough to get this to scramble on dirt in road tyres better than say the considerably cheaper Street Scrambler?

Kieron Botting Hi Kieran. How are you? A few things to consider & clarify: I love Triumph a lot but I’m not brand loyal and you shouldn’t be either. The Thruxston R is my all time favorite bike. I’m 5’6 & athletic and that matters. The scrambler series by Triumph is exquisite and unequal in quality. However if I were looking at an off-road/on road bike-that is good at both of pick the Desert Sled for two reasons: (1) the Triumph is a nicer bike but not $4k nicer. (2) the DS is lighter. Ducati should have put a fuel indicator, auto turn signals, and running light on the first generation but they finally corrected that. For most people who don’t live near Moab or the Sahara desert, the DS will do everything almost as well as the triumph and if you bang it up no big deal The XE is for y’all riders who are into Xtreme riding and if that’s not you, it’s really not the right bike. If you aren’t doing crazy shit on that bike sell it and get something you can still have a blast on but isn’t more bike than you need. No one wants to spend more $$ on a bike than you need to. If you are doing long distance off reading the XC is excellent: otherwise I think Ducati DS does just what the XC does for a lot less coin I promise you’ll still have fun and smile every mile. But if I said you could buy a Triumph Scrambler XE/XC or a Desert Sled & a trip around the world, fully paid for, what would you choose? Be that as it may, if you got it enjoy the heck out of it. It’s quality is unsurpassed and it’s very capable either model. Same goes for the BMW R9 & Thruxston R. Less money more style and so much performance. Now if you live on the edge and push the XC to its limit OK. But few will do so. Whereas the Desert Sled is easier to push to the limit and yet you won’t be disappointed when you hit the limit but happy you are still safe and within your own limits perhaps. But again if you are an Extreme rider and out overlanding long distances with huge jumps: You’ll want the XE If you are brand loyal and just like to have some fun as a weekend warrior and it has to be a triumph: XC Be safe daddio

Great reply, mate. Thank you for your thoughts. I’ll be getting it to travel and won’t be too crazy off road, obviously. Hmmm... I’m not too price sensitive and given that I intend hold onto the one that takes me round the globe, I’m not really considering what it’s resale might be either. I think I’ll give the Sled and the XC a spin and see how both go. After all... what’s the point in asking advice if you’re not gonna listen! Once again, thank you. Will you be posting any videos of your rides? If so I’ll give you a cheeky follow and keep my eye out. 👊

I have to admit that, on screen at least, is looks like a decent off roader. Basically, I dislike fairings on a bike and think they belong on scooters. I've owned more "Trail" bikes than anything else and somehow, Triumph have managed to at least make this appear somehow lightweight. I guess that's part;y down to the lack of plastics, the suspension clearance and the 19 inch front wheel. The only vaguely "adventure" machine I've ridden was a 1000 Varadero about 20 years ago. What a SOS that was!

Great review John. That bike looks amazing, shame about all the electronic bollocks, but I guess that is just a given these days. One thing annoys me about this bike though. The weight and power figures are pretty pathetic compared to an old KTM950, which is now 15 years old. It is significantly heavier than an old KTM950 (KTM 198kg dry vs. 205kg dry) and makes significantly less power (KTM -98hp vs 89hp) It does win the torque battle though, so that is great - Triumph 81 lb/ft vs KTM 70 lb/ft. It also achieves that torque much sooner. I wouldn't mind the lack of outright hp if the Triumph was much lighter. A serious question here - why are modern bikes (particularly ADVs) getting heavier and heavier. Ultimately specs-wise this bike is a little bit disappointing. We seem to be going backwards in this part of the market. Styling - wise this thing rocks though and looks much more comfortable. The XE seat height isn't too bad either. It is slightly lower than the KTM, so pretty manageable for a proper ADV. The XC would be even more manageable, but obviously, you lose a bit of ground clearance. When I win lotto I will definitely be checking one of these out :)

That's a great review buddy, will it be a rider friendly bike for city? The exhaust heats up faster than the street scrambler?

John, you made me call into my local Triumph dealer today, cool review; thanks. One question, do you have to clutch it up? Really tempted to buy an XE after watching your review a couple of times.

Phil480 not as far as I’m aware mate. Seat height felt ideal on the road for me and was manageable off road.

Great review, this is my next bike! I've been planning to buy a new one for about 2 years now, and had decided the Africa Twin or the Tiger 800 would be the choices. But, when I saw this a month ago, it's been love at first sight. Thanks again for the great review!

Is the XC still off-road capable? I don’t think I’d be tall enough for the XE

TheWindigomonster it is, there’s slightly less travel in the suspension and a few other differences, but we rode both and the XC would cope off road. I’m 5 11 and suited the XE more.
