It felt smooth to ride and flowed through the bends very nicely. The XC is very torquey and has a lot of low end grunt so it was quite happy to ride around town at low speeds and then really happy when you found an open road and opened it up. I had the XC for just over a week so I used that opportunity to ride the bike into work to see what it was like commuting and then, more often than not, I’d leave work and go for a ride so I could see what the Scrambler was like riding around town as well as on the open roads and, if I’m being honest, it was to find cake too 😉
I have to say that I am a fan of the parallel-twin engine, I love the sound when you start the bike up and I really love the noise when you open it up 🙂 There’s definitely something about a twin! The engine is a 1200 cc liquid-cooled, 8 valve, SOHC, 270° crank angle parallel-twin which is Euro5 compliant delivering 89 bhp and 110 Nm of power and torque. Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC Gold Line Edition Engine Normally I sit on my bike and push it back which I am more comfortable doing. I could get the balls of my feet on the ground only and although this is okay when riding and stopped at, say, traffic lights etc., when trying to manoeuvre the bike in and out of the garage, I did find this difficult and found it easier to get off the bike and push is back. I have to say I would not want it to be any taller for me. So being 5’6” tall, I opted for the XC model with the seat height of 840mm. The Gold Line Editions of the Scrambler 1200 only come in one colour each – the XE comes in the rather funky Baja orange/silver and the XC (the one I had on loan) comes in a very nice carnival red/storm grey colour scheme with hand-painted gold lining and are only available for one year.
Scrambler 1200 XC (seat height: 840mm) (black or khaki green/black or carnival red/black) (MSRP $14,814 USD / $19,049 CAD).I attended a media day at Triumph UK last year where we rode several bikes for an hour or so each, one of which was the Street Scrambler 900 (now known as the Scrambler 900) which I did like and thought it was a really nice bike to ride so I was eager to see what the Scrambler 1200 would be like. To keep with the Scrambler's retro look, throttle bodies were disguised to look like carburetors.Triumph UK kindly loaned me the Scrambler 1200 XC Gold Line Edition and I have to say what a pleasure that was. In 2008, and in 2009 for the USA, Triumph Scrambler introduced multipoint sequential electronic fuel injection with SAI, which required fitting a larger fuel tank to house the new pimp unit. In early models, the tachometer was optional, though starting with the 2010 model, a side-by-side speedometer and tachometer became standard. The Triumph Factory designed a wide range of accessories for the Scrambler, such as a skid plate to protect underneath the engine, a headlamp grille, and number boards for the sides. The Triumph Scrambler features a higher seat position, high and wide handlebar, as influenced by the TR6C Trophy Special. It was designed as a Bonneville with off road styling. The Triumph Scrambler features an 865 cc DOHC four-stroke twin-cylinder engine. The Triumph Scrambler is the last Triumph make to be styled by designer John Mockett, who served as the principal stylist from 1989 until 2006. The Scrambler first hit the market in 2006 and is still being manufactured as of 2019. Triumph Motorcycles is the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the UK and has been in business since 1983. The Triumph Scrambler is a British Motorcycle from the Triumph Motorcycles company. Triumph Scrambler 900 Motorcycle Information:
