T he 2024 model year will see Triumph debut two reworked Scrambler 1200s. Gone is the 1200 XC, replaced by the newly devised 1200 X model, itself a lower priced/lower spec machine compared to the premium XE. Both bikes are powered by the 1200 parallel-twin with its single overhead camshaft and 270-degree crankshaft. Triumph claims 89 horsepow - er at 7000 rpm and a peak torque of 81 lb-ft at 4250 rpm. It uses a new single 50mm throttle body and revised exhaust headers. Both machines run a ride- by-wire throttle with Sport, Road, Rain, Off-Road and Rider Configurable modes. The XE also gets an additional Off-Road Pro mode. They are fitted with Marzoc- chi, instead of Ohlins, suspen- sion components. The 1200 X gets a road-biased 45mm inverted fork and preload- adjustable twin rear shocks for 6.7 inches of ground clear - ance at both ends. The 1200 XE gets 9.8 inches of travel via fully adjustable units. The XE uses twin Brembo Stylema radial monoblock four-piston front calipers with 320mm floating discs. The X uses lower-spec four-piston calipers with 310mm discs. Both models use single-piston rear calipers with 255mm discs. The Scrambler 1200 X will start from $13,595 USD and $14,795 CAD. The Scram - bler 1200 XE will start from $15,295 USD and $16,595 CAD. Orders can be placed now at Triumph dealers, with bikes arriving for retail from February 2024.
