Today we take our 2023 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC on the Section 1 of the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route. With little off-road experience, minimal tools, a few brain cells and some hopes and dreams, we set out to record the entire section from start to finish without cutting our POV camera. That's right. All 120 miles of forest service roads and paved connectors recorded and published in all of its mind numbing 4K glory. So grab a brew - caffeinated or fermented - some of your sickest gaming headphones, and sit back, relax and enjoy the sweet sound of a Triumph Parallel Twin motor through SP-Engineering Exhaust.
For you experienced BDR and ADV riders, enjoy nearly 4 straight hours of cringe.
For you new off-road riders who are here just looking to see what the terrain is like on this section of the first BDR, enjoy every inch of what is widely regarded as one of the easiest sections of all of the BDRs currently available.
