Triumph Motorcycles is rightfully considered one of the oldest and most iconic motorcycle brands in the world. The company began in 1902 by selling sewing machines and motorized bicycles. And during the 20th century, the company established itself in the zeitgeist through racing, television and film.
While the company grew and prospered during the golden era of motorcycles from the 1950s to the 1970s, Triumph almost completely disappeared in the 1980s due to financial problems. And then it was revived in the late eighties, when British property magnate John Bloor became its owner, and has since achieved continued success.
Modern Triumph motorcycles are known for their retro styling and heritage design, yet incorporate modern technology. Triumph also offers consumers a collection of performance and adventure/touring motorcycles. The company's current line of motorcycles pays tribute to past model names and achievements in geographically iconic locations associated with the brand.

New Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE
This living motorcycle looks simply divine! It should be emphasized that production in Thailand did not harm it at all. It pleases the eye with good proportions, top-level finishing details (engine fins, front lamp mount or tank mount) and materials used. As a rule, all parts are made of aluminum and polished stainless steel. There's a lot to admire, so once you buy it you'll be hanging out in the garage for a while.
The quartz style cabin ruined my world! Can you combine readability with style? Now you can!
Everything is fine here - look at the manifold mount or screws!
A good old friend was packed in a steel frame with an aluminum truss - a motor with a capacity of 1200 cm 3. It served well, for example, in Truxton. However, here this engine is tuned slightly differently - maximum power is reduced to 90 hp, and torque is reduced to 110 Nm. It is very important that after exceeding 3000 rpm you have 100 Nm at your disposal! It gets the job done, but also bodes well for the rear tires not having too much life. Especially in field conditions, you will appreciate the fairly smooth and predictable throttle response.
But be careful - compared to the Thruxton or Bonneville series, the rotating mass in the engine has been reduced. This Scrambler 1200 gets him up on the turn faster and without stuttering and he can show his claws. You just have to remember that the episode is quite fast, just above 7000 rpm.
The bass sound with the high-pitched routable dual exhaust is music to the ears. The music is all the more pleasant because it has rough notes. The crankshaft stages have been shifted 270°, so performance is somewhat similar to the V-two.
The drive goes to the rear wheel through a precision six-speed gearbox. The clutch handle is easy to operate, which you'll especially enjoy in the field. The British decided that this type of car should not be the fastest, so the maximum speed is electronically limited to 177 km/h.
Always at least 90 Nm and 100 Nm immediately after exceeding 3000 rpm - torque power! Additionally, the power curve looks like it was drawn with a ruler. It's just that the cut-off ends the fun at 7300 rpm. The Scrambler 1200 has immediate and predictable throttle response and a speed limit of 177 km/h.

Features of Scrambler
The powerful, fairly heavy unit is surprisingly easy to operate. The engine is integrated into the power frame, so the frame has become stiffer, which has significantly improved the behavior of the motorcycle on the track. The seating position is upright, comfortable, the center of gravity is high, the footpegs are raised. The result is complete control over the road situation and no fatigue on long-distance trips. And thanks to the wide handlebar, at low speeds the bike is much more maneuverable than many of its classmates.
That is, the “Scrambler” is a motorcycle specifically for those who value comfort and classics, cross-country ability, power and ease of control. There is no 6th gear, no roar of the engine at 14K rpm, but there is reliability, confidence and practicality. And external recognition.
The brakes grip well and provide clear feedback. The installation of single discs is a little confusing, but it is better than the classic drums used on many road cars. The panel is analog and does not shine with variety; the only instruments on it are the speedometer.

4000 kilometers, 1.5 months of operation on Ural roads, and I’m ready to share my impressions.
First, I'll tell you a little about myself. Categories A and B have been open to me for a long time, but I don’t have much independent experience on motorcycles. In total, probably about 8 thousand km on different models, most of it was covered on the CBR250 and CB400. In addition, I took Triumphs Thruxton 900 and Bonneville T100 for long-term tests. The most powerful bike I've ridden was the VFR800.
Mostly I ride as a passenger on a Kawasaki GTR1400 tourist liner, I ride a lot and for a long time, 200-300 thousand km, I don’t remember.
And now, I finally decided on my own serious bike. This thought began to occur to me after riding Thruxton. I really liked it, but I was embarrassed by the lack of ABS and the need to remake the motorcycle for touring. As time went on, the Thruxtons got new brakes, and I soon met a Scottish couple in ancient Scramblers who were going around the world (!), and it dawned on me! Here it is! I looked at their torment with tying the clothes, wrapping the muffler pipes and imagined how I was riding through the Atacama Valley on the same motorcycle, covered with a kilogram layer of dust from unexplored roads... I experienced the same feeling when re-reading “The Motorcyclist Diaries” by Che Guevara...
Here is the answer to the constant question I get asked: “Why Scrambler?” I can’t answer it briefly, so I usually just shrug “Because I like it!” Explaining to people that Che Guevara did not drive an Africa Twin or GS1200 is too difficult.
Triumph Scrambler is a motorcycle with history that inspires you to make your dreams come true.
While I was getting ready mentally and financially, Triumph released a new generation Scrambler, with modern technology, good brakes, ABS, traction control, water cooling and normal mufflers. I had no choice =)
The first 900 kilometers are a break-in period. I was getting used to the center of gravity, the brakes and remembering how to turn)) After all, I had a break from driving for 3 years.
The bike seemed very heavy to me after the CBR250. It feels like it weighs all the 200 kg declared by the manufacturer. At the same time, it seemed to me that the Scrambler was swinging in the wind, despite its weight. This is after the “train” GTR1400, where it doesn’t blow even at a speed of over 200.
Now, of course, I don’t feel the weight of the motorcycle, but it’s not a fact that I can lift it. One day we went for a motorcycle ride along forest paths, where I managed to fall 2 times, easily, on the spot. But I was never able to lift it, I waited for my husband to save me. Maybe it was just a bad angle, but they say you can't endurve alone if you can't lift your bike. I plan to practice. Otherwise my trip to the Atacama is in jeopardy))
Scrambler on the left
I usually drive on asphalt. But the Scrambler is a motorcycle for bad roads, isn't it? And all the sights in our Urals end with a turn onto a country path. Any motorcycle can handle light gravel roads (tested on the GTR), but the Triumph can even handle fords, dirt, gravel and forest ruts. In any case, with my little experience, I managed to come where I planned. Traction control is very helpful on such tracks.
But, to be honest, the entry Street before the Scrambler reminds us that the motorcycle is actually designed for the city!
And here he is in his element.
Firstly, I have never had such attention. I thought that most people would mistake this motorcycle for an Izhak or a Ural. But even in remote villages, people constantly come up to me to express their admiration for the bike and ask me not to ride “on this dead road” on it. And in the city, every fifth person tries to either overtake, or make acquaintances, or simply shows a thumbs up, nodding approvingly. This suggests that people have begun to understand technology and the era of sportbikes is passing away. In Europe, the fashion for cafe racers is now at its peak; each motorcycle manufacturer has released a cafe racer with its own brand. Road motorcycles in the city are not only convenient, but also stylish.
The main thing is not to forget to buy a super “comfortable” Bell helmet, which looks cool, but you can only ride in it in warm weather on city streets. Luckily, I still have some decent long-range gear. And in the city I drive in the coffee shop-restaurant-motorcycle mode. But keep in mind, if you don’t have Bell, you’re not in the know))) Just kidding.
Next, I’ll tell you about the special stages. I installed the original arches and “protective” grille on the headlight. The latter is more for beauty. My arcs are already a little scratched, although I dropped the motor on the spot and only a couple of times (ugh*3). They protect the engine cover and do not spoil the appearance of the motorcycle at all. And style comes first here, as you may have guessed.
I am planning to buy a windshield. I will only use it for long-distance shooting and shoot it in the city. The longest trip I had in a day on a Triumph was 540 km. And this is along Chelyabinsk roads, to Zlatoust and back. Those who traveled through Karabash will understand me. There is a hole in the hole, the roads are covered with rubble, sand, slag, and the M5 federal highway is a comb to hell.
About long trips. After 500 km I was not tired at all. But I have a high threshold of patience, I am the person who enjoys motorcycle travel. But even I finally got tired of fighting the wind. It's not even a matter of wind, or speed, but of cold. Below 20 degrees, driving becomes uncomfortable. If you only drive around the city, with short trips to the country, then don’t worry about wind protection. If you ride on weekends and not only 100 km, but also further, it will be difficult without a windbreaker.
Cases. There are none, and installation will not be the most pleasant part of tuning. I travel with a backpack or net in the back seat. By the way, the motorcycle comes with a steel trunk (with a load capacity of up to 3 kg. Very funny, yes). Most likely, I will make mounts for panniers in the future, since according to reviews from European riders, large bags on the seat have a bad effect on the handling and weight distribution of the bike.
About dirt protection. She's not here at all. At the slightest rain, all the water and dirt will be on you. After such trips, within 30 seconds I became dirty from boot to helmet, both front and back. After the GTR1400, when you can drive dry in the rain, this circumstance is very frustrating. Don't think about riding without a rain cover unless you plan to wash it every night.
About riding from behind. Of course, I also rode as a passenger in my Scrambler and I can tell you that the back seat is like a board. It is hard and narrow. By the way, the seat is also an object of attention; many people give compliments on this matter. “Oh, girl, what a beautiful seat you have with Alcantara inserts!” )) The seat does not get wet in the rain, just wipe it with a cloth and it will be dry.
I did find one bug. This is clearly a glitch that comes from the factory. When I refuel the motorcycle, whether the tank is full or not, no matter how much, the on-board computer does not change the gas tank full indication for 30 minutes to an hour. It's infuriating. Therefore, I recommend that you always fill the gas until it is full. Because if you fill up with 200 rubles and then drive 100 km, you don’t understand how much gasoline is actually in the tank. The sensor thinks for a very long time!
Many people also ask if the muffler is burning, because it is so close to the foot. The answer is, it bakes! But only on the track, when I cuddle up to him. In the city I don’t get cold, and ergonomically my foot doesn’t press against the muffler. On the highway this happens unconsciously, and in the evening I find marks from the muffler on my leg on the inside just below the knee. Here, long motorbike boots will save you, or, perhaps, moving the protective cover of the muffler out by 1 cm. I already tried wrapping it with thermal tape, but it only got worse, the muffler stopped cooling.
About the wheels. Rubber here plays both an aesthetic and practical role. The Metseller grips well on gravel, the 19-inch scrambler front wheel, spokes and suspension work in every hole, which, as usual, I can’t miss. And I would gladly miss them, but we have them everywhere, in the city and outside the city!
As for the brakes. My ABS worked a couple of times on a slippery mud road. In the city I try to use both brakes. ABS and traction can be turned off with a button, which is cool, but all motorcycles have this right. There is only one brake disc at the front, but reinforced hoses are already installed in the stock. With the weight and speed of the Scrambler, the brakes are basically enough. But they could have supplied two discs! And a combined system, like on Hondas.
About speed. Thanks to this motorcycle, I realized how fun it is to ride without disturbing)) On the highway 100-120. Such a relaxed pace when even cars are overtaken. This is very unusual after cruising 160-180 on the GTR. But it’s impossible to drive above 120 without a windshield. There is a feeling that a parachute is opening from behind, and the motorcycle and I begin to take off. And in the city, wearing a Bell helmet, it starts to blow into all the cracks at speeds above 60. Therefore, another plus, Triumph - for safety! ))
But the dynamics of the Scrambler when accelerating to 100 km/h are very pleasing; it is on par with adult motorcycles. By the way, I took the new Boneville T120 for testing, and although it is more powerful, it does not respond as quickly to the throttle.
Fuel consumption is also excellent. 12 liter tank and the on-board computer shows a range of 340 km on the highway! He clearly overestimated his capabilities. But I managed almost 300 km on one tank.
The only pity is that there are only 5 gears. I'm constantly trying to stick in the 6th. There would be less vibration at high speed (over 120), and fuel consumption would be noticeably reduced. But, alas! Some real tourists also had only 5 gears until recently)) Yes, I mean the FJR1300. Among the amenities, I would like to highlight the cool on-board computer, which shows not only the gear number, engine speed, fuel consumption, but also the time, trip A, trip B (I’m telling you, it’s designed for long-distance driving =)). The only thing missing is the outside temperature and tire pressure sensors. By the way, there are tubes in the tires here, and if something happens, you will have to take a spare tube plus a repair kit. This is not a flagellum for you!
I also forgot to tell you that the service interval according to the manual is 16,000 km! I'm telling you, this is a real tourist, not just a Triumph. Although my dealer asks me to come for 8000 km)) I need to calculate how much from Yekaterinburg to Norway and back. But my husband is still resisting, saying that he will have to buy another Triumph and go and suffer together. Being on the same wavelength is priceless!
To summarize the above, I am delighted with my motorcycle. He performs all the tasks assigned to him. It's stylish and charismatic in an urban environment, but at the same time can get off the pavement and rush towards adventure. It is reliable, strong and easy to operate. Despite its retro styling, the Scrambler has all the modern systems you need.
Like any motorcycle, it is not without its shortcomings, but they are very minor and require minimal investment in tuning. Of all the scramblers on the market, the Triumph embodies tradition and history. The motorcycle looks exactly how I imagined it. And it will look equally good both in the city and in the Atacama Desert or on the serpentines of Norway among the fjords

2022 Street Scrambler Chassis
Tubular steel members form a duplex frame that fully supports the engine and partially protects it. The double rear swingarm is also steel, simple and reliable, and this reliability is pleasantly relaxing when traveling far from civilization.
The 41mm KYB fork is slightly wider, mainly for aesthetic reasons. Unfortunately, this is still a non-tunable cartridge fork, so there is some work to be done there. The rear suspension consists of two KYB shock absorbers with external springs and a single adjustment - preload. The travel of both suspensions is 12 cm.
A new four-piston Brembo caliper at the front is mounted on a 310mm disc, providing powerful stopping power. At the rear, a two-piston caliper on a 255mm disc does its part, along with switchable ABS on both wheels. The spoked wheels are quite off-road in nature and are shod with 100/90-19 front and 150/70-17 rear.
Sure, the stock tires are definitely tarmac-specific, but it's easy to swap them out for more all-terrain rubber to turn the SS into something that can go on any road, just like a true scrambler should. The geometry of the steering column determines the rather nimble nature of the motorcycle - 25.6 degrees of stem and 109 mm of trail, so you can count on the bike to turn willingly.

Triumph Street Scrambler 2022 design
Triumph says the new Street Scrambler looks more modern, but that means it's gone from '60s to '70s. Spoke wheels are a step in the right direction, but a regular fork with accordion guards is already vintage. The spokes and fork guards, by the way, give away the off-road character of the motorcycle, and even if it has a greater tendency towards asphalt, it is still a scrambler, the granddaddy of off-road motorcycles.
This scrambler is the granddaddy of dirt bikes.
To confirm this, the front wing allows you to install “evil” tires. The round headlight makes the front fascia classically uncluttered, as does the single dial instrument - an analogue speedometer with LCD display and indicator lights. This spartan gauge has been updated for the 2022 model in the cowling area, as well as a new dial and other design elements.
The classic 11.7-liter teardrop tank gets updated color schemes: Matte Khaki over Aluminum Silver with black trim, Fusion White and Cranberry Red. Under the tank there are a lot of black elements with a very custom look. Classic knee niches with black rubber nigrips seem to have stepped out of the pages of a historical chronicle.
An almost flat bench seat with a slight rise to the removable passenger section (replaceable with a luggage rack) and a new “adventure” finish separates the new version of the motorcycle from the previous generation. Removable passenger footpegs help lighten the bikes for serious solo off-road riding (hussars, keep quiet!), and the new stock crankcase guard covers not only the engine, but also the frame. The high rear fender with LED headlight and turn signals also holds the number, but the double-barreled muffler really gives the bike an old-school appearance.
