Triumph Motorcycles India has launched the 2019
Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC at INR 10.73 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). This is the
world’s first motorcycle with an integrated GoPro control system.
Powering the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC is a 1,200cc
liquid-cooled, 270-degree parallel twin mill. The engine produces 90 PS of
power, which is 12.5% more than in the Bonneville T120 and 38% more than in the
2019 Street Scrambler. Additionally, the 2019 Scrambler 1200's engine is tuned
to deliver ‘high torque’ off-road and on, both on low as well as mid-engine
revs. The powerplant is capable of churning out a peak torque of 110 Nm at a
low 3,950 rpm. That’s 37.5% more torque than in the Street Scrambler.
The powerplant is very similar to the one seen in
the Thruxton but the rest of the motorcycle is brand-new. The 2019 Triumph
Scrambler 1200 XC boasts five riding modes – Road, Rain, Sport, Off-road and
Rider (customisable). Each of these changes not only the engine mapping but
also the ABS setting. Other features include a category-first 21-inch front
tubeless wheel (Metzeler Tourance), ride-by-wire, Brembo M50 monoblock callipers
(front) and colour TFT instrumentation. The traction control is switchable and
the handlebar position is adjustable.
Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC is suspended over
Showa-made 45 mm upside-down front forks with 200 mm of travel and Ohlins-made
fully adjustable twin springs with 200 mm travel. It is the first Triumph
machine to get turn-by-turn navigation with phone and music operation
(optional).
Riders will be happy to know that the Scrambler 1200
XC has a high service interval of 16,000 km. This will help in reducing the
overall riding cost. Colour options include Jet Black with Matt Black and Khaki
Green with Brooklands Green.
