2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE

The return of the Scrambler style motorcycle has certainly been a big news story in recent years. Some are little more than a styling exercise, while others, like Triumph?s new 1200 Scrambler XE, claim to be ready to bang in the bush.We only tested the more off-road oriented XE model but both that and the more road focussed XC roll on tasty spoked Akront (there is a blast from the past), rims that suit tubeless tyres. The XE gets an off-road spec? 212.15 front married to a 174.25? at the rear along with an extra ?Off-Road Pro? added to the riding modes that puts it all down to you, with traction off and the ABS off.It was genuinely amazing how well the XE handled a very rough dirt track, ruts and even a bit of sand.
A very generous and well controlled 250 mm of suspension travel is what endows it with genuine off-road chops.To put it into perspective, the XE has more travel than any multi-cylinder adventure bike I can think of, which really is truly remarkable and clearly underlines that this Scrambler, can damn well scramble! It has a full 100mm more travel than Ducati?s Scrambler and Indian?s new FTR1200. This means that with all that travel to play with there is enough scope in the stroke to allow for nice smooth and supple initial travel, that then steadily firms up through the compression to retain control. If the damping control was not great, this bike would suffer, but thankfully it works well, really well.FIVE REASONS WHY A TEAMMOTO APPROVED USED BIKE IS ABETTER BIKE!***** Up to 3 Year Warranty ***** 2 Day Free Exchange ***** 49 Point Mechanical Inspection ***** Competitive Finance and Insurance packages available ***** Australia Wide Freight?.
