Triumph Motorcycles’ Scrambler has been a staple product in its US lineup for decades due to its classic British looks and the punchy character of its parallel-twin engine. And after its last major overhaul for the 2019 model year (read the 2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC And XE First Ride Review) it receives another small batch of updates for 2024. We’ve reported on this model in detail during the 2024 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE Review but for riders looking for the TL;DR (too long, didn’t read) version, here are our five favorite features:
- This Scrambler 1200 XE feels like a big dual sport motorcycle.
- We love the 1,200cc parallel-twin engine. It has tons of giddyap and go!
- This motorcycle has nearly 10 inches of suspension travel, front and back, with full damping adjustment.
- It rolls on a 21-inch front wheel, upping its dirt cred and making it feel like a real off-road bike.
- And lastly, because this motorcycle makes you feel like Steve McQueen and Bud Ekins did in the 1960s.
We’ll see you in the next episode!
