Triumph’s Premium Scrambler: The 2021 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE
Triumph’s Premium Scrambler: The 2021 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE
Contents
The Scrambler 1200 XE is the most advanced Scrambler model in the 2021 Triumph line-up. It’s a premium, British-made scrambler that excels at both on- and off-road pursuits. Though it shares 99% of its DNA with the slightly cheaper Scrambler 1200 XC, the XE definitely has the edge.
Like the other larger Bonneville-branded Triumph motorcycles, the Scrambler XE draws power from Triumph’s 1200cc parallel twin Bonneville engine. Thanks to a high-torque tune, the XE produces 88 horsepower and 81 lb-ft of peak torque for high performance in a range of situations. That power is delivered to the rear wheel via a six-speed transmission, with a torque-assist clutch.
There are a number of differences that elevate the Scrambler 1200 XE over the XC. These include even longer travel suspension at the front and rear, adjustable foot controls, premium handguards, a Brembo MCS lever, optimized cornering ABS and traction control, and the addition of a sixth riding mode. There are also a number of styling differences, including gold-colored forks, the addition of a Triumph tank badge, and a silver handlebar finish, to name a few.
For 2021, the Scrambler 1200 XE is available in two color options: Fusion White with Brooklands Green and Cobalt Blue with Jet Black.
The 2021 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE starts from $15,400 USD / $16,300 CAD.

Described as having ‘category-dominating capability’, the Scrambler 1200s’ supremacy has been achieved with an incredible blend of class-leading specification and equipment.

The new navigation system is built with Google and delivered through a dedicated Triumph app. Phone and music operation is also supported, allowing the rider to control their music and phone operation via the illuminated switchcube control. All three features (Go-Pro, Navigation, Phone and Music operation) are enabled by an all-new accessory-fitted Bluetooth connectivity module. Additional premium technologies include keyless ignition, cruise control and USB charging. In addition, the even higher spec XE benefits from optomised cornering ABS and Traction Control, facilitated by an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), plus heated grips as standard.
