The new Triumph Scrambler 1200 Steve McQueen Edition was globally unveiled in April 2021 along with the updated versions of the Scrambler 1200 XC and XE models. The special version of the 1200cc motorcycle is inspired by the original competition-spec Triumph TR6 that was used in the 1963 Second World War classic movie, “The Great Escape”. Triumph Motorcycles has today launched the Scrambler 1200 Steve McQueen Edition in India.
The Triumph Scrambler 1200 Steve McQueen
Edition has been priced at INR 13.75 lakh (ex-showroom). It is a limited
edition model with only 1000 units available worldwide. Each of them will be
individually numbered on the beautiful billet-machined handlebar clamp, which
also features a laser-etched Steve McQueen signature. For even greater
exclusivity, each bike comes with a unique certificate of authenticity stating
the model’s VIN and carrying the signatures of Triumph’s CEO, Nick Bloor, and
also Chad McQueen, son of the legend himself, Steve McQueen. However, as of
now, Triumph Motorcycles has not revealed the number of units that would be
allotted for the Indian market.
Based on the updated XE model, the new
Triumph Scrambler 1200 Steve McQueen Edition features a unique Competition
Green paint scheme with exquisite hand-painted gold lining, gold heritage
Triumph logos, and a dedicated Steve McQueen tank graphic. The motorcycle also
comes with a premium brown bench seat with stitched ribbing and Triumph
branding, a laser-cut and pressed aluminium radiator guard, engine protection
dresser bars, and MyTriumph connectivity system. Some of its other key features
include a brushed aluminium Monza cap, brushed stainless steel tank strap, and
an aluminium high-level front mudguard.
Powering the new Triumph Scrambler 1200
Steve McQueen Edition is the same 1200 cc parallel-twin engine that has also
been fitted in the updated XE and XC models. The motor now adheres to the
Euro5/BS6 emission regulations. The 8-valve mill has been tuned to produce 90 PS
of max power at 7250 rpm and 110 Nm of peak torque at 4500 rpm.
