2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE/XC Review - Dirt & Road 

Thanks Bob!

Mondo Oso epic man! Load some videos of it

I’ve added a couple of quick videos...nothing spectacular. I’m playing putting together some longer edited videos very soon...work has me busy and not very enthusiastic 😆. Stay tuned!

get on a KTM 500exc open it up in the desert whoops, then ride the Triumph.

Michael Accorsi ok...??? Annnnnnd...??? Then I’ll drive my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek around then hop in my built 2013 Subaru BRZ project annnnnnd compare the two? The KTM500 is a dirt bike? No relevance to the ScramblerXE

Hello ! congratulations on the bike ! it's such a beauty ! i "drool" looking at it, amazing how they released such a bike as serial bike ! may i ask if you have ridden it on some gnarlier and more rocky tighter single trails than what shows in this video ??? i really like to know how and if it can manage tight trails - not expecting it to be a 300 2T enduro,of course, but where are its limits ?

Thank you! Yes, it's a fun bike!

Thanks Steve!

Thank you, really appreciate the feedback!

Thanks Campbell. Yes the XC has a configurable rider mode that lets you adjust throttle map and turn TC off, but you can't turn ABS completely off. You need the XE with Off Road Pro mode to turn both TC and ABS off completely. Off Road mode on the XC turns off the rear ABS though.

@@ADVPulseVideos MMMMmmmmmmm food for thought - I won't be in the market until they start popping up second hand, so might be fixes around by then. Also sat on both today and easy to touch the floor on both. The XE really isn't super tall - neat trick with all that travel. The XC is like a normal bike to sit on, but should still be awesome off rd. Think it has similar travel to my old ktm950 and more than my V-Strom1000, both of which i rode off road - V-Strom being a little more intimidating to get in the really hairy stuff but still capable. Spoilt for choice :)

Africa twin

sallhame There’s no denying that these are far from the best ADV bikes on the market. If you love retro’s and scramblers, however, it provides a compelling offering, because it’s almost as good, while looking so much better (subjectively). We see the same with new cafe racers, like the Thruxton R. They aren’t any better than a modern naked, but they’re almost or equally as good, while maintaining the styling sensibilities of a classic. If you want the best, buy the latest and greatest, but if you love the classics yet don’t want to compromise on performance, these make great alternatives.

Which only gets 40mpg whereas this gets 60mpg and is a far superior machine. And I love the SE

those r rare only 3 k worldwide c nt

Nope, and I've dropped it at least 5 times in the Rockies.

@@jacobshirley7155 Nope. Great bike so far.

Triumph makes a street scrambler that is a much lower version of this that is a 900cc

They answer that at 7:27

@@revmaniac6995 cheers

What did you replace it with?

@@larrynorsworthy8582 I mean... it's a very niche machine. Different than any bike I've ridden. You either love it and learn it or not click with it and go for a more specialized tool.

Shit riders usually Blame the bike lol

You're not wrong which is a shame, I've got one and it's the best bike I've owned, maybe it's just a bit too niche

Not in the UK they're not

If you want this bike for offroad, changing to more dirt oriented tires is one of the first things you should do.

They're brilliant though. Stick to your cheap old bikes 😂

Dated? It's superb
