Triumph Scrambler 1200 X: Tyres & Wheels

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 X comes with an adventurer tourer-like spec for its tyres and wheel combination. Equipped with a 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 X has 90/90-21 front and 150/70 R17 rear tubeless tyres, which are Metzeler Karoo Street premium off-road tyres.

Designed for hardcore adventure tourers and scramblers like the Triumph Scrambler 1200 X, the Metzeler Karoo Street has longitudinal grooves for self-cleaning ability from mud and dirt. The transversal grooves and V-shaped block layout of this Metzeler tyre improve off-road traction. Additional stability and grip levels are provided by extra large central blocks and wide lateral blocks of this Metzeler off-road tyre.

Triumph Scrambler 1200 X: Looks & Design

Like a traditional scrambler motorcycle, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 X has an upright stance, high ground clearance and a rugged-looking combination of spoke wheels and tyres with large tread blocks. The Triumph Scrambler 1200 X shares its round-themed fuel tank, LED headlamp and single-pod instrument console with the Bonneville Bobber. However, apart from the traditional scrambler elements mentioned, the Scrambler 1200 X also gets a rugged-looking single long seat, high-set and vertically-stacked twin exhaust pipes with a side aluminium shield and a minimalist curved rear fender. It also gets cornering ABS and traction control for increased stability while riding. 

Triumph Scrambler 1200 X: Engine & Transmission

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 X gets the same liquid-cooled, parallel-twin, 1200cc engine which powers other Triumph flagship retro bikes like Speed Twin 1200, Bonneville T120, Bonneville Bobber and Bonneville Speedmaster. This parallel-twin engine is paired with a 6-speed transmission and generates 90 PS of maximum power and 110 Nm of maximum torque.
