22:30 exactly why the Triumph Scrambler was made. Mad respect for Zack going through that mud lake and never putting his foot down once. I have never seen any reviewer take a brand new bike through something like that and do it that well. Kudos to Zack and Kudos to all those workers who made the Triumph Scramber he rode through that absolute mess. I figured out what drew me to the style of this bike so much. The whole bike looks great but that round part of the stainless exhaust shield in the back. That's the number plate. But's been expertly melded into the style of the bike. It does'nt overtly stand out. This whole bike just looks great. BMW figured the styling aspect out, about a decade ago and it's great to see other manufacturers , like Triumph here, seeing, that we have to actually like... to look at our purchases. This bike just puts a smile on my face everytime I look at it.

@16MrFred 3 ай бұрын

Worth noting Zach, and to anybody that may be in the market soon, go out and find a '23 model. The "X" got downgraded like crazy when compared to last year's "XC" model. Including the downgrade from Showa front forks and Ohlins rear, full adjustable suspension, the Brembo brakes are gone, the TFT got ditched, there's a lot less aluminum used in the body panels, and the fuel tank got smaller. That's just to name a few, pretty harsh compared to last year, the only benefit was lowering the seat height a bit more for accessibility.

@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff 3 ай бұрын

In its defense it also comes with a lower price and they added the 6-Axis IMU which wasn't on the old XC.

@disekjoumoer 3 ай бұрын

Yup, spot on. I think Triumph perhaps weren't selling enough XCs, so decided to lower the price and the quality of the components. Realistically, for the type of person who rides this type of bike, it probably doesn't matter all that much. The high exhaust is much more of a problem anyway, and the Zard lowered exhaust is pretty expensive.

@logangodofcandy 3 ай бұрын

The X is a road bike. Paves or unpaved, but a road bike specifically. If you want an all road scrambler, get the 21-23 models, the second generation of these bikes. These new gen 3 are plain inferior.

@16MrFred 3 ай бұрын

It's worth noting sure. The X and XC are road oriented and you sure don't need the IMU. I'd also like to point out the price went down about 1500, and you easily lost 2-3k or more in component quality with the downgrades. Cruise control was standard on both, no reason to remove it, other than just trying to upsell people to the XE. In value proposition I think Triumph did a massive disservice to the road going 1200 this model year.@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff

@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuffIn the realm of bikes, a scorned heart beats, For 6-axis IMUs, a loathsome feat. They measure every tilt, every twist, But for some riders, they're hardly missed. Oh, wretched IMU, with your sensors so keen, You steal the thrill, the rider's dream. No more pure connection, just algorithms cold, Leaving riders feeling distant and old. Give me back the days of raw control, Where instinct ruled and freedom strolled. No gyroscopes to dictate my ride, Just me, my bike, and the open wide. So here's to the rebels, the old-school crew, Who scoff at IMUs, through and through. For in their hearts, the passion ignites, To ride with spirit, and defy the technological rites.

I currently ride an HD FXLRS, but I owned both a T100 and T120 and loved them. Triumph makes superb motorcycles, the 1200 HT engine is outstanding and the entire lineup both derived from the Bonneville platform as well as the adventure bikes and the Rocket 3 is incredible. Top fit and finish, tons of tech and specs on a number of rides below 15k. Outstanding, can't say enough. If I could I would still have a few Triumphs in the garage including the Scrambler 1200 XE.

@Mugochap 3 ай бұрын

I have a 2023 XE and am nearly the same build as Zach, 6’3 and 185lbs. I don’t have the same issues he does with the seat, maybe the 2023 has more robust padding? But I will agree with his highway commentary… the wind blast at anything over 70mph is pretty rough especially if you’re wearing a helmet with a visor like I do. The motor is amazing, it sounds great and has awesome low end torque for off-road and around the town riding. I commute on mine, take it on gravel/double track paths and love hitting the twisties. While the 21in wheel doesn’t change direction as quickly as a smaller wheel, it’s super stable mid corner in my experience. After years on sport bikes, the Scrambler 1200 XE has been the perfect bike to transition too. BTW… I usually get 50+ mpgs if I’m not too hamfisted.

The only thing I might have an issue with is the heat on the right leg. Not bad if you’re moving, but stop and go city traffic gets warm. If was buying a new one, I would get the XE because of the cruise control.

A few years ago, when I reviewed the street twin (when it became water cooled and semi-broke away from the "old" 900s), I absolutely loved it for the same subjective reasons you love this. Doesn't win on numbers, or any technical details but just is something you fall in love with and WANT inside the first mile you ride it. I mentioned that the 1200 would be a hard sell for me. Neither is the type of bike I'm going to be squeezing high end performance out of, and unlike say the 400, the 900 twin is plenty strong enough that I never felt I needed the extra 20ish hp of the 1200 for an extra 4 grand when it otherwise looks, sounds, operates nearly identical. It's a hard sell to not feel the 900 family isn't enough. I'm not opposed to high performance, I have a 160hp bike that most of my riding buddies say is a death trap and it makes me giggle... but I doubt somebody is riding the 900 triumph twins and says that they're not fadt enough yet is suddenly content with the 80hp 1200 big brother. Seems like triumph invented a flagship of the retro series so they could sell a flagship of the retro series.
