Scrambler 1200 Specifications

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 X is powered by an 1,200cc, liquid-cooled, SOHC 8-valve parallel twin engine with a 270° crank angle - the same architecture that underpins the Bonneville family, tuned here for low-end torque rather than peak revs. It produces 88.7 bhp at 7,000 rpm and a meaty 110 Nm of torque at 4,250 rpm, giving it a broad, accessible powerband ideal for mixed-terrain riding.

Fuel economy from ARAI testing stands at 22.72 kmpl, which translates to a real-world range of roughly 270-290 km from the 15-litre tank before hunting for a pump. In city riding, expect closer to 18-19 kmpl depending on traffic conditions.

Suspension on the X is a 45 mm Showa conventional telescopic fork up front with 150 mm of travel, and a preload-adjustable Showa rear monoshock with 150 mm of travel - both tuned for compliance over broken surfaces. The 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels are fitted with Metzeler Tourance tyres as standard.

Braking is handled by a single 320 mm front disc with Nissin twin-piston axial calipers and a 255 mm rear disc, both governed by dual-channel cornering ABS. The electronics suite adds switchable traction control and five riding modes: Rain, Road, Sport, Off-Road, and a configurable Rider mode.

The instrument cluster is a round TFT unit with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation compatibility, and a GoPro control integration. At 228 kg ready to ride, it's not a light bike by any measure, but the mass is carried low and the riding position - upright, wide handlebars, 820 mm seat - makes it manageable at the stops.
