Thanks for a thorough, informative review. I picked up my new XE a couple weeks ago, and love it. Happy Trails

[@rusipathan]

Nice review! One of the best bikes I have ridden.

[@TwoTubesADV]

Love my XE. Bought the 2023 model just before the 2024 models came out 💪

[@retrothruster2539]

My dealer has both the 23 and 24, thanks to this video and your comment, I'm going with the 23!

[@adventureundone]

Did the same, but with an XC

[@retrothruster2539]

@@adventureundone It's funny you say that, my dealer states that they have a 23' XE but after looking at it, it's actually the XC, I'm gonna try to beat them out of that one, I'm not super tall so it'll suit my needs better anyways, Cheers..

[@javi_scram]

Thanks for the video! I didn't know about the rear brake piston : ( that's a shame.

[@Adventure_blac]

Might be the first reviewer to point out the fork diameter change

[@gmc3578]

but, he missed the throttle body change...(-;

[@Adventure_blac]

@@gmc3578 what was the change?

[@gmc3578]

throttle body sized up from 45mm to 50mm@@Adventure_blac 👐

[@Adventure_blac]

@@gmc3578 that’s is a good thing?

[@0HARE]

Thanks for the thorough review. I got a lot out of it. I have one of these bikes on order. Would you recommend upgrading the front forks and the rear brakes, and is that practically possible? Happy Trails!

[@Adventure_blac]

Adam why would you like the older XC but the newer XE?

[@danhammond6579]

Great review! Really detailed on the changes and ride feel for the new model. I've heard the throttle body change (and i think tighter header pipes) leads to a punchier riding experience, do you know if the new throttle body fits the old 2019 model (For an easy performance boost)?

[@nachikethusps7377]

What is the seat height of this motorcycle

[@karloturic]

Question about brake fluids in bicycles so my brakes can go in dot 4 and dot 5.1, but I don't know which one is inside now .Can I mix the dot 4 and 5.1 or how can I check which one is in

[@gmc3578]

Dot 4 & Dot 5.1 are both compatible fluids with each other... you'd have to take a sample to a scientist for testing of boiling points! brake fluid is hydroscopic... it changes boiling points based on how much water content it contains... thats why we change it out periodically... and always use from a sealed container / & fresher is better ☮

[@squidsleap]

Triumph should have had you guys go through fish creek. Maybe too much shade for good filming, but such a beautiful place out there. Looks like a great do it all bike! I dont mind the lack of a quick shifter, I'm older and half the time dont use them anyway (muscle memory). Is it a bolt on mod to put a scotts damper on?

[@hurd4532]

Are the HP/TQ specs off here? My ears perked up when I heard Adam say lower-than-expected figures. I think triumph quotes 89hp/81ft-lb

[@joeblow5037]

yea....for a 1200 that's pretty anemic. I need to see that thing on the dyno.

[@theodorehenley1711]

I’m sure triumphs numbers are at the crank. Most manufacturers do that

[@richardkwast1882]

Numbers quoted were actual dyno figures. Excellent performance for the intended use of the bike. Bags of torque low down where it is most useful. Ride one and you will enjoy it.

[@abartholainen]

He actually says it's at the tire

[@glockparaastra]

I gotta have a hydraulic clutch!!

[@jaewonryu7558]

약 4년 동안 탔는데 두카티 스크램블러 유압 클러치보다 부드럽습니다.

[@LilYeshua]

3000 mile or sooner oil changes for me.

[@MaxxOverdrive]

Downgraded Suspension, Downgraded Brakes, Smaller Fuel Tank... Can't help but wonder what else Triumph downgraded or cut costs on that we dont know about.

[@madpekon]

They downgraded everything that is why it’s cheaper. The X is even bigger downgrade than the previous XC (my favorite from the line).

[@marcoluoma3770]

“Downgraded everything” is a little hyperbolic. You may want to try for more precise language.

[@madpekon]

@@marcoluoma3770 engine wise is better but suspension and brakes are a massive downgrade. Being more precise the rear break on the XE is a nisin , on the X both front and rear are nisin . Furthermore, on both models the rear suspension is no longer ohlins. Don’t get me wrong as far as suspension goes there are better options for off-road than ohlins , in the end it is a good product but the previous one was a lot more premium.

[@adventureundone]

Agree, so I picked up a 23’ for a deal 👍

[@nanashi4147]

@@marcoluoma3770it’s not, you’re just overthinking it.

[@logangodofcandy]

It's now less scrambler and more street bike.

[@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou]

Upgraded ... not, lol.

[@LooxJJ]

Should have stayed with Showa. New front fork is an absolute garbage

[@ginoasci2876]

73 HP & 60 ft/t. ????? They dropped the power WHY ??? 89HP & 81 ft/t was great. Glad I got the 2022 XC with all the quality options and all the power. I wouldn’t buy these lesser quality bikes. I rather pay another $1000 or $2000 have have quality components. People will squander $2000 on nothing every year, so they shouldn’t complain when it’s going towards something they can touch and especially enjoy. Like a prostitute 😂😂😂😂 I AM KIDDING, I’M JUST KIDDING. 😂😂😂😂 Just buy the bike and enjoy! I love mine so much I won’t take it off road. It’s more because I don’t like cleaning it, and rather ride it.

[@Mugochap]

Those are wheel horsepower and torque numbers, not engine numbers. Manufacturers always market engine numbers, but bikes (and cars) lose power through the drivetrain. So even the pre-2024 engines have the same power figures.

[@rogernam2092]

There are no improvements,just lesser Quality..! Whom they want to fool..?!

[@joeblow5037]

$5.19 a gallon. Must be Newsomfornia

[@aussiebloke609]

Known to the State of Cancer to cause California.

[@ricatiman]

The new BMW GS1300 doesn't ever have any head shake, and it's more powerful, smoother running, way faster and better handling than this poser of a desert sled.

[@woodywood3388]

It‘s a COMPLETELY different type of bike. The appropriate comparison in the Triumph range would be the TIGER 1200 series which is a superior bike to the hugely overrated BMW. If you want to throw the word poser around then look no further than the GS.

[@meznz]

But fugly.
