*What tires would Zack recommend for stopping in the wet?*

[@jeffsobey7380]

I'm an Oregonian, super appreciate not putting this off for a different day and attacking the weather head-on!

[@phil4986]

22:30 exactly why the Triumph Scrambler was made. Mad respect for Zack going through that mud lake and never putting his foot down once. I have never seen any reviewer take a brand new bike through something like that and do it that well. Kudos to Zack and Kudos to all those workers who made the Triumph Scramber he rode through that absolute mess. I figured out what drew me to the style of this bike so much. The whole bike looks great but that round part of the stainless exhaust shield in the back. That's the number plate. But's been expertly melded into the style of the bike. It does'nt overtly stand out. This whole bike just looks great. BMW figured the styling aspect out, about a decade ago and it's great to see other manufacturers , like Triumph here, seeing, that we have to actually like... to look at our purchases. This bike just puts a smile on my face everytime I look at it.

[@TerraMagnus]

Zack, you are the GOAT. Riding daily means riding in whatever weather comes. And there you are, riding to work in the rain.

[@hulkhatepunybanner]

*In **_San Angeles,_** that's like a five days a year.*

[@Porsche996driver]

Let’s stop calling everything the goat. That would be the goat lol.

[@TerraMagnus]

I literally said “oh the cool uncle” out loud right before Zack did. Nailed it. There’s no doubt which family member the Scrambler is.

[@R_6448]

lol I did the same thing

[@Dheeeeraj]

Me too! 😅

[@hulkhatepunybanner]

*Yes! **_And if young Nigel says he's happy, he must be happy in his world._*

[@jeditobiwan]

Was not prepared for the amount of water, and was definitely not expecting both you and the bike to just shrug it off. Fantastic!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

I was supposed to be test riding the 2024 Tiger 1200 today, but I wussed out because there’s a slight risk of rain… I feel guilty now😳

[@Johnnyreengo]

You backed out of riding an adventure bike bc of rain?

[@infesting]

Rain? Come on man. The rain is nothing to be afraid of. Your tires have almost the same grip as when dry.

[@Subboxstoker]

My local dealers won't let you test ride a bike in the rain

[@Hanitcal69]

Yeah you should feel guilty. Don’t buy an adv bike if you refuse to ride in rain

[@T3-RIDER]

Lol come to England every 2nd day is rain

[@Ddrishtant97]

The wheelie in the wet, at the end though..had me at the edge 💀🤣

[@16MrFred]

Worth noting Zach, and to anybody that may be in the market soon, go out and find a '23 model. The "X" got downgraded like crazy when compared to last year's "XC" model. Including the downgrade from Showa front forks and Ohlins rear, full adjustable suspension, the Brembo brakes are gone, the TFT got ditched, there's a lot less aluminum used in the body panels, and the fuel tank got smaller. That's just to name a few, pretty harsh compared to last year, the only benefit was lowering the seat height a bit more for accessibility.

[@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff]

In its defense it also comes with a lower price and they added the 6-Axis IMU which wasn't on the old XC.

[@disekjoumoer]

Yup, spot on. I think Triumph perhaps weren't selling enough XCs, so decided to lower the price and the quality of the components. Realistically, for the type of person who rides this type of bike, it probably doesn't matter all that much. The high exhaust is much more of a problem anyway, and the Zard lowered exhaust is pretty expensive.

[@logangodofcandy]

The X is a road bike. Paves or unpaved, but a road bike specifically. If you want an all road scrambler, get the 21-23 models, the second generation of these bikes. These new gen 3 are plain inferior.

[@16MrFred]

It's worth noting sure. The X and XC are road oriented and you sure don't need the IMU. I'd also like to point out the price went down about 1500, and you easily lost 2-3k or more in component quality with the downgrades. Cruise control was standard on both, no reason to remove it, other than just trying to upsell people to the XE. In value proposition I think Triumph did a massive disservice to the road going 1200 this model year.@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff

[@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff]

@@Africatwinrider1 love it Simon 👍👍👍. I do get a raw feel out of my ‘95 Daytona! No nothing! 🤣

[@Hanitcal69]

My dad got an XE last year and I love that thing. Every time I go home for the holidays I ride it as much as I can. It rips off-road too. I come from dual sports and small advs and I was extremely impressed by the handling. I can drag foot pegs easy

[@LooxJJ]

2023 XE has better suspension with Showa-Ohlins combo. 2024 has Mazorcchi suspension which is known for lot of issues.

[@Hanitcal69]

@@LooxJJ good thing it’s a 23

[@CCitis]

Yeaaaaaah I love my 2019 XE. If you want a do it all bike that’s not a transformer, this is it. Lots of fun.

[@UpsideDownFork]

So glad to see that you also ride in the rain! I thought it was just us brits that were stuck with rain to contend with!

[@jasonshortphd]

I live in Seattle. It rains about 9 months of the year in some form or another. I’ve been told by lots of friends that our climate is very similar to London. I ride unless there is ice on the road.

[@fardrives]

I just bought this bike yesterday, and on the way home about 2 hours from the dealership I ripped through a rain storm with no problems 😂

[@DangerCell]

You are absolutely bonkers man! I cannot believe how cheerfully you, literally, plowed through that test. Absolutely no one could fault you if you woke up on this lousy rainy day and said "F that, I am not gonna blast down the freeway on a bike with a beer sized speedo for a windscreen... F-ing 1/4 mile mud puddle on a glorified street bike? F that, I don't care how hight the pipe is mounted, I didn't bring my snorkel today...". Did you make a bet or something? And the skills on display on this one...dam man, you are a legend brother!

[@K1r4Gamer]

Personally not a fan of the scrambler style, but I love the fact that Zack did this episode in the rain and showcased the versatility and useful functionality of the Scrambler and ADV motorcycles in general for daily riding and epic adventures. Absolutely love this episode 😍😎💪🦾

[@martinmackye9865]

Lived 10 years in Seattle and 15 in Los Angeles....found the streets in L.A. quite grippy when wet and the streets in Seattle ridiculously slippery when wet.... Go figure.

[@dinosaursr]

It’s the Seattle grunge that does that.

[@dukenukem1682]

(AKA Mikeydan73) Thank you for using my question Zack. When I purchased last year the 1200 Scrambler and Tiger 900 where my candidates. I choose the Tiger 900 GT Pro for exactly the reasons you said someone might. The looks and character of the 1200 were hard to pass up though.

[@barrettwbenton]

First time I've watched a rainy Daily Rider! I've rudden enough times in the wet to appreciate Zack's efforts here, and that Triumph was clearly up to the task. Well done!

[@naturalconditions]

That was some real scrambin' around there. Rain riding is spooky for me, especially on interstates, but you made it look effortless. Great episode. Thanks!

[@Mugochap]

I have a 2023 XE and am nearly the same build as Zach, 6’3 and 185lbs. I don’t have the same issues he does with the seat, maybe the 2023 has more robust padding? But I will agree with his highway commentary… the wind blast at anything over 70mph is pretty rough especially if you’re wearing a helmet with a visor like I do. The motor is amazing, it sounds great and has awesome low end torque for off-road and around the town riding. I commute on mine, take it on gravel/double track paths and love hitting the twisties. While the 21in wheel doesn’t change direction as quickly as a smaller wheel, it’s super stable mid corner in my experience. After years on sport bikes, the Scrambler 1200 XE has been the perfect bike to transition too. BTW… I usually get 50+ mpgs if I’m not too hamfisted.

[@SeattleScramblin]

It's an amazing machine, man. I have the 22 XE and also feel like my seat is not a problem at all. I think it must be a cheaper seat.

[@logangodofcandy]

I got the 23 XC, and I have a regular full helmet, so the wind blast at 80-90 isn't all that bad. Get a helmet without a visor. Perfect bike IMHO.

[@Africatwinrider1]

​@@logangodofcandythink you mean peak, a visor is what stops bugs hitting your eyes

[@ferociousfrankie]

Now Zack is just showing off. Riding during an atmospheric river in CA is full send.

[@daddio1954]

What a stud. Great review Zach. Agree 150% WITH WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID. I have never seen a reviewer ride in the rain and through deep puddles with a brand new bike! I owned a 2022 scrambler XC and traded it for a Yamaha Tenere because I wanted to go true ADV. Your review made me miss that scrambler.

[@dipeshpatel7623]

What better than a daily rider video on Saturday morning!!

[@magnamole]

Coffee done, Daily rider posted. Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit, this is a great morning!

[@andrewbozhozr]

[@rostl1165]

I have a Scrambler 1200 XC (last year’s model) and absolutely love it. Thanks for the video!

[@jorgecoria7858]

And we got the full dash vs this new small one.

[@splodge57]

I can't see Triumphs logic in replacing the XC with a bike that is not as good.

[@diaz4534]

​@@splodge57 Pour a voir eu le scrambler XE et le XC, je ne comprends pas non plus l'intérêt de ce X qui est moins bien équipé que les modèles précédents ? Je pense que Triumph a sorti ce X pour diminuer le prix de vente mais aussi attirer les personnes de petites tailles. Je ne sais pas si c'est un bon calcul, l'avenir le dira 😅 Ma préférence ira au scrambler XC qui est vraiment FUN .

[@biffjoesen2529]

Tremendous vid! From fjording to wheelies in the rain to the leaderboard review, top shelf stuff!

[@sutty1963]

this as got to be one of the best Daily rider so far ,,so pleased you rode in the rain and to do the puddle jumping that triumph to me deserves n1 slot for doing that and not putting a foot wrong ,, well done zack

[@hsscha]

youre a mad man with that offroad section, love the videos, best reviewer on youtube

[@steveottavaino3804]

“oh ya, that’s the good stuff”. Doubtless the best quote on the net for those who understand.... Brilliant!!!

[@RacerXdBrother]

I currently ride an HD FXLRS, but I owned both a T100 and T120 and loved them. Triumph makes superb motorcycles, the 1200 HT engine is outstanding and the entire lineup both derived from the Bonneville platform as well as the adventure bikes and the Rocket 3 is incredible. Top fit and finish, tons of tech and specs on a number of rides below 15k. Outstanding, can't say enough. If I could I would still have a few Triumphs in the garage including the Scrambler 1200 XE.

[@leobender2910]

Zack and Arie are by far the coolest bike dudes on youtube

[@JohnDoe-mx3rr]

Damn that railroad portion is commitment

[@MichaelRaberts]

Please do a daily rider of the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X whenever you can get them in the US.. Loved them in the Delhi ride.. wanna see how they fair on your usual route

[@MikeNeufeld-t7o]

I have a 2022 XC. This is my forever bike, it does everything with aplomb and guaranteed to make you smile on the way to work. I put on the Unit Garage windscreen and it seems to work well. The only thing I might have an issue with is the heat on the right leg. Not bad if you’re moving, but stop and go city traffic gets warm. If was buying a new one, I would get the XE because of the cruise control.

[@CCitis]

I have an XE. To me, heat comes with being a motorcycle. A de cat makes a big difference.

[@BS32768]

Me - driving my car carefully over paint lines in the rain as I'm listening to Zack back it in on two wheels in the same conditions.

[@512mbflashdrive]

[@keithdosik]

It’s a wet one today; the offroad section should be fun!

[@ATHBLT]

So much respect for this. Risky, edgy, yet so genuine to approach this ride and review in the rain. This is why I’m subscribed.

[@kenteagle2918]

I appreciate that you actually put it through it's paces in regards to the market segment it's in. Too many reviews of this type of bike never take them through dirt or significant standing water. Would love to see a 12 month follow up of condition and maintenance / repairs assuming it continues to be ridden in true scrambler fashion.

[@applec2400]

I didn’t need confirmation that Zach is a way better rider than myself but this confirmed that. 😅

[@oragrag67]

highlight of my day every time a new daily rider gets posted, keep up the fantastic reviews zack!

Zard makes a full system exhaust that runs below the footpeg, for those who really don't like burned thighs.

[@trueheart78]

I bought a 1200 XC a few years ago and I love it! I wish it was a bit lighter, but that is my only complaint. 💙

[@wallymurray620]

Very impressed with the ride through the rain, felt right considering the scrambler, thanks. And thanks for the look back to the 2023 board for a wider comparison.

[@theCycleReport]

A few years ago, when I reviewed the street twin (when it became water cooled and semi-broke away from the "old" 900s), I absolutely loved it for the same subjective reasons you love this. Doesn't win on numbers, or any technical details but just is something you fall in love with and WANT inside the first mile you ride it. I mentioned that the 1200 would be a hard sell for me. Neither is the type of bike I'm going to be squeezing high end performance out of, and unlike say the 400, the 900 twin is plenty strong enough that I never felt I needed the extra 20ish hp of the 1200 for an extra 4 grand when it otherwise looks, sounds, operates nearly identical. It's a hard sell to not feel the 900 family isn't enough. I'm not opposed to high performance, I have a 160hp bike that most of my riding buddies say is a death trap and it makes me giggle... but I doubt somebody is riding the 900 triumph twins and says that they're not fadt enough yet is suddenly content with the 80hp 1200 big brother. Seems like triumph invented a flagship of the retro series so they could sell a flagship of the retro series.

[@pierceferriter4664]

to me 😬

[@Magicks]

Just got a Scrambler 900 and I love it! 1200 would have been nice but it's just a bit too tall for me (5'8" 155lbs), the 900 is a great option though!

[@SingleTrackMined]

I love this because when I was a teenager I used to ride my friend's SL350 Honda. This evokes that. Good times. Absolutely love these reviews!

[@igniteflow]

Big respect for doing this review in the rain. Best in the business 🙌

[@chriskucharik]

Ok, I'm sold. Talk about THE bike to survive the Zombie Apocalypse! I have to disagree with you placement on the Leaderboard. 1) You rode thru that flash mud-pool like a champ. Name one other moto that could have done that? In a pinch, you could take this baby anywhere on your Daily Ride 2) 1200cc + 6-speed + cruise control = it can handle USA 80MPH freeway -- clear roads or w/traffic 3) Long Ride Solution = Corbin seat upgrade -- most need it anyway 4) 4-gal = Range -- full tank for a week of commuting or weekend fun time 5) Weekend Warrior = I can screw around in the dirt for funs-in all I want 6) Has to be more comfortable than a sport bike / naked when stuck in traffic (many states, including mine do NOT have Lane Splitting & Filtering... someday for all us riders...) 7) Price - $13k -- could be slightly less expensive for ideal, but given the features; it's not bad. How is this not one of the top if not #1 Daily Rider for 2024? One un-answered question: How do the tubeless road-off-road tires last if I rack up the pavement miles? Can they endure the ODO test? Closing Thought: If the Triumph Scrambler 1200 was a woman, she would be: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joHQnmWXib5jpNE

[@mitchell87ification]

Can we get a comment on the headlight quality as part of the daily ride? Living in NW Europe, half the year my daily ride requires headlight :)

[@Tartan1206]

I think every review should have a short night section so we can see how good or bad headlights are.

[@SeattleScramblin]

I'll say that I have the XE and the headlight is awesome. Super bright LED. My brights are blinding haha

[@Tartan1206]

@@SeattleScramblin that's awesome. I wish they did headlight reviews as part of the overall review. I bought my Tuono a few years ago based off of reviews and it's headlights are the worst I have ever had. Sure it wins the naked bike shootout but that doesn't matter when you can't see at night lol.

[@SeattleScramblin]

@Tartan1206 I had the scrambler 900 before getting my XE and it was a night and day difference. It does seem like some corners were definitely cut on the X to make it cheaper but I wonder if the headlight was one of them.

[@JohannesSebastian]

OMG: What family-member is this bike MUST BE A FUTURE ELEMENT in all your reviews 👍🎉😃

[@gmc3578]

the new "X" Scrambler 1200 was aimed to give more of an entry level bike in a Scrambler 1200 when compared to the out going 1200XC model, so its a little lower, softer and more affordable than before - I believe

[@logangodofcandy]

It has much less off road performance, but that's because nobody was buying the XC or XE for off-road. Some did, and I bought my XC for that purpose, but MOST were just bought as road bikes. The X is a brilliant business move, but the XE should not have been downgraded..should have been THE off-road bike with a road only version

[@bravo_victor]

Great review as always. Completely agree with what you said about the Tiger 900: the modern ADV bikes don't do anything for me personally, and I don't want to own a motorcycle I don't enjoy looking at. I love the idea of an XE as a pseudo ADV bike - it just looks like a motorcycle should look, and I appreciate that.

[@drew1481]

So glad you reviewed this!!!

[@aussiebloke609]

The biggest problem I have with modern bike seats is not really how thin the seat padding is, as high density foam can be thin and still be comfortable. It's how flat the seat is, and how thin it is at the edges, where the back/inside of your thigh pushes against it. The edges need to round off and hang the side padding lower if you want to be able to ride for more than an hour or two. I currently daily a '79 CB750F, and find that most bikes of this period (I also used to daily a CB250T, GT250, GS750...even a CB250RS) are much more comfortable than their more modern replacements. Much slower, obvs...but much more comfortable.

[@underwaterwatchesunderwater]

Let's hear it for Uncle Nigel, really felt that dude come alive in your description. And I loved the bit right at the end. You're right, being able to go to the front of the lights is the trade off for getting splashed in the chest. Thanks for making these vids for us. Love em =)

[@tomryner5830]

Regarding the seat. I replaced mine with the quilted comfort seat. It is what it claims… comfy.

[@logangodofcandy]

I paid $20 for a sheep skin with 2.5" pile at a local place that stitched a strap onto it in all of 2 minutes. It's comfortable, warm, and it keeps my ass relatively cool when it's hot.

[@getty6974]

One thing personally i have to say that Triumph Scrambler is the only "real" scrambler there is on market. It is basically fat, heavy enduro bike. I love it. One of my top "if i had the money i'd buy it"

[@zrx12gs650g]

That was fun.. Especially in the water! Thanks Zack!

[@logangodofcandy]

I ride in the rain idgaf. The XC, the mid size of this bike is my first bike and it's amazing. The X is just shorter and is not designed for off-road, but more non-paved and pot hole filled roads. The scrambler 1200 is a great bike for any tall person around 6 feet, 182cm. Taller, get the XE..shorter, get the X.

[@512mbflashdrive]

for what it's worth, those Karoo Streets are super decent in the rain! one of my favorite commuting adv tires.

[@fabiopunk1661]

I have a Triumph Bonneville and this seems to share the same "seat policy": I am 160 pounds and find myself sitting on the seat armature basically. I do not think it is matter of padding thickness as my BMW GS has basically the same seat thickness but I can seat comfortably for 8-9 hrs. With the Bonneville, I rode to Amsterdam for half hour and I wanted to get off the bike!

[@clanky44]

Zack, if you want a true 360° crank old school modern Brit retro you need to try the Kawasaki W800. A more authentic representation of 60’s British bikes than anything Triumph makes these days.

2022 XC owner. Very disappointed to learn that the XC was discontinued and replaced by this seriously de-contented model X. Triumph is attempting to pocket far too much money for a model that has given up so much. Glad the XC 's were around when I was shopping. Probably my favorite bike of a garage full of great choices. Easy to ride and live with. And Unit Garage makes a very decent and good looking windshield for them.

[@eyeamdavid]

Goodmorning everyone

[@rebeldoc0133]

you are something else zack, thanks

[@ducnut]

Triumph missed a little, by not putting cruise control on this bike or the Speed Twin, yet, they put it on the T120. The XC is far more approachable than the XE and no cruise control makes it a deal breaker, for me.

[@jeremymitoraj1715]

Another great DR. Thanks Zack!!

[@itllbeawrightyep5579]

Oh man, i got to check out this bike in Birmingham last year at Barbour Motorsports Park, at the Triumph set up and I really want one. Plus I live on a red clay dirt road now in Southwest Georgia.

[@basedury]

I'm 5'8" and the 1200 XE is a little tall for me as it would be my second bike ever. This one is a great seat height coming from an Interceptor 650 but I wish they could squeeze a little more ground clearance out of this for a more middle ground between this and the XE. Still would really love to pick one up

[@nocebo3355]

New tiger 900 Rally pro would be really cool to see! The updated engine, and fit seems really nice :)

[@Adventure_blac]

For sure. Or last years xc comes with cruise control, adjustable suspension, brembo brakes, and the nicer dash.. has about 8 inches of travel. The perfect bike Goldie locks scrambler

[@theprodigalstranger5259]

Oh my god I'm an uncle Nigel!

[@jimmyjakes1823]

I'm in my late 30s with a trashed back, so the appeal of a bike like this to me is that it has more than 3" of suspension travel and big wheels for riding over potholes. Maybe the fact that the average motorcyclist is almost 50 with a lot of the typical age related problems is a big part of the ADV bike boom. Personally, I'd never own another street bike no matter how cool I think it is because I don't want the jolts up my spine anymore. It's true that scramblers look cooler than ADV bikes though. Assuming similar ride and handling, I'd take the 1200xe over the 1200 tiger.

I think Triumph chooses seat foam that feels nice when you sit on the bike in the showroom. I have owned 2 new Triumphs and both had the problem you spoke about.
