![]() All bikes come pre-wired for heated grips (not standard on all models), and all the 1200 Scramblers can fit the My Triumph accessory connectivity system. Riders control the TFT with a five-way joystick and Triumph’s standard backlit switchcubes. Photo: Triumph Other general detailsĪll versions of the bike also get second-generation TFT instruments, with choice of two design themes, as well as three different display layouts. The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC is the standard version, with less suspension travel and no IMU. The press release does note that a torque-assist clutch comes standard for all models. Typically, the press release notes changes to the intake system, along with the exhaust, but there’s now much about that here. Triumph doesn’t say much about how it reached the new emissions standard. Service intervals are still 10,000 miles/16,000 kilometres for oil changes, 20,000 miles/32,000 kilometres for expensive stuff like valve adjustments. That’s basically the same as the previous 2018+ model engine-good news, because engines often lose a bit of their zip, when updated to Euro5. The updated engine makes 81 pound-feet of torque at 4,500 rpm, and 89 horsepower at 7,250 rpm. Maybe that’s bad news for the passenger, but it’s hard to tell for sure without actually spending some time riding the new bike-at this point, all we know is what Triumph’s issued via press release. Not only does the revised exhaust meet the new emissions standard, the catalytic converter has been moved towards the back of the system, which could mean the rider is less likely to get scorched by the high pipe. The new engine is more efficient, with low-inertia crank and a high-compression head, and the exhaust system is also updated. The biggest changes all seem to be aimed at meeting Euro5 emissions standards. It’s got a 270-degree crank, six-speed gearbox, and eight-valve head. ![]() It’s still 1200 cc capacity, basically the same as the Bonneville T120 powerplant, but with a “Scrambler tune” that’s aimed more towards torque and tractability, with less emphasis on top speed. ![]() Engine updatesĪll versions of the new bike share the same updated liquid-cooled parallel twin engine. Going ahead, we see a similar sub-dividing of the lineup to previous years there’s a Triumph Scrambler XC (the standard all-round model) the XE (with an emphasis on off-road capability) and the Steve McQueen Edition (celebrating the actor’s historic association with the brand). Triumph’s Scrambler 1200 series is overhauled for 2021, but the changes seem to be more along the lines of evolution, instead of a complete reboot. ![]()
