2021 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE | First Ride 

I love this bike , its gorgeous. i cant understand why people complain about the fact that you need to pull in the clutch in order to be able to hit the starter. i drive a manual car and all cars been like this for years! no clutch, no start. its smart and way safer. This way you don't "yeet" yourself by being accidently in gear. its genius

The manoeuvrability of the Scrambler will be much better when riding on Michelin Anakee Adventure tires. To me it was like riding a different bike when I changed from the factory tires Metzeler Tourance to the Anakees. The handling of the Scrambler is so much easier, especially when surfing curves. Strongly recommend 👍🏼😎🤘🏼.

I love my 1200 XC! Still pretty tall for me but she's gorgeous!

The content I subscribed for years ago...first rides! Thank you Chase!

You need more views! Your videos are great quality. I remember your channel having way more. I’m back cause I got a motorcycle. Love your vids.

Tell me you don’t ride dirt bikes without telling me you don’t ride dirt bikes. Love all the quality reviews either way 👍🏼

Man between you and 650ib the both of always have the music on lock trust me it makes me like your channel better because it's interesting during the transitions I've tried to suggest that to other channels but they don't respond let alone read there comments like you do keep up the good work guys God bless.

Such a fun bike. I loved the look, loved the power, but most of all, I loved the VIBE. Triumphs just hit different. 😉👍🏻

thanks, great review & lots of good info

I've got the delinquent version of the Scrambler, the Speed Twin! What an excellent bike 👍

The Exhaust can be really hot in summer. But if you change the exhaust and remove the de-cat it is 50% better. Zard exhaust is really good and sounds pretty well.

Very good review. One of your best. A++

I ordered mine last week. Cannot wait to take it for a ride...

Yes take it off road with Yummi ! Love the Truimph Scrambler line!

Love the camera work!

Dream bike! Can’t wait to get my own

YES, I have one, im 2k miles on it now, I LOVE it.

Great review.

Its gorgeous!

Looking at this bike. Thank you!

I understand your comment on enjoying riding a bike that doesn't encourage you to do dumb stuff. I felt that way on the BMW r9t. Big 1170 motor but felt right to just putter around and enjoy the ride.

Absolutely love these! I also live just down the road from Hinckley UK... I wonder if they'd give me one, for neighbourly love and all that! Would love to see this off road, the dash video and what kinda luggage you can load it with... For adventures etc.

Ride by the ire throttle..: slight delay... triumph likes 2 finger front brake usage... I’m 6’3” and thank you for the shout out to tall guys not fitting on so many bikes... really a hassle... especially Harley’s I’m going with down pipes because I’m not getting the de...xc’s look killer with British Zard down pipes ... AWSOME

Keyless entry? Just where did you Enter that bike? Great stuff, keep it coming!

OC: I love the Scrambler look, definitely bigger CC than what I usually ride but they look great. Also the Predator jacket is my personal favorite, not in the video but just putting it out there lol

Thanks for talking about my channel at your latest livestream!! I'm blown away 🙏 Just posted a video where I respond to your questions!

picking up a scrambler identical to this one next week!

OC: I've always been a fan of Triumph. Outside of my first bike being a ninja 250 and a short run with a Ducati 959. I've always riden a Triumph. As for retro looks you can't beat a Triumph Bonneville. Their timeless in style. Still I'm a sportbike guy so the Daytona is for me always even if I'm getting a Aprilia RS 660 soon. Plus that jacket looks awesome.

11:41 They do make a windscreen for it, both fly screen and tall screen too

I just sat on an XE in blue and an XC in dual green yesterday at my dealer. Contemplating getting a second Ike for slower, not wanting to hit 100+ like on my Street Triple 765R

OC: They’re too nice these days for me to be comfortable taking it offroad. I wouldn’t mind reviving an old beat up one and putting it through its paces!

Different bike rewards you differently. This bike rewards you as you ride as yourself ❤️👍

I’m a big fan from the Philippines 👍

I got this bike (exactly the same look) because of its retro look and its being tall (I am a tall rider). Wind is a problem. (I have ordered a Triumph windshield for it) Thanks for the video.

It’s beautiful

Probably find a windshield for it but it looks like it's limited for luggage options with the exhaust blocking the one side.

OC for life bro 😎😂 also can you do a first ride on the Kawasaki KLX 300sm supermoto?

This video has some time now but the bike didn’t change so much to the actual year of 2024. It’s a timeless choice of looks and has been perfected on some electronic elements that had minor issues. The bike is a pleasure to ride. Not my cup of tea on the high way, but if we ride it a little above the speed limits the engine is comfortably working and we will be also having a pleasant and comfortable ride. Above those speeds, it’s better to install a tall windshield that Triumph and other aftermarket companies provide, but for me a small wind deflector is enough, once I don’t find appealing to ride this bike above 75 mph. The sweet spot of this parallel twin is between the 3000/ 5500 revs, so in six gear we go smoothly in a nice pace wherever you want. It hasn’t a big mass to protect the rider from the wind but if the weather is not very inclement you will feel fine at least 75 mph, no turbulence, only clean air. The engine break isn’t heavy but the breaking system at the front and rear are top of the class and that security sensation is present when you use them properly once they’re very efficient and strong. The headlights are competent and the switches are retro illuminated, which is a touch of refinement on this particular Triumph bike as top scrambler of the brand. It’s a bike that looks nice on taller riders who will feel at home with it. After the extraction of the cat from the pipes the temperature of the exhaust to the leg will be irrelevant, but in my opinion that work has to be done. It’s a charm of a bike. Very beautiful. I would ride it off road on well paved trails and in dry weather, but nothing more than that. Although on those terrains the bike is flawless, very well balanced and it shows what after all it was meant for, despite the weight that turns it into a big heavy bike on the dirt and specially on sand terrain. Everyone I know that bought this bike is happy about their purchase decision. They sell a lot in England and in Europe. The maintenance is leveled with the class and segment of the bike and brands alike. In conclusion the bike is not cheap but we get a lot of bike for our money, so it’s very worthy.

Nice video... I’m looking at the XC... it’s a little over a inch lower... do s not have the suspension travel as the XE... But I don’t see myself going full off road... and you save about $1400 on price... I’m on my 3rd Triumph now... Really love them.. also you can get a lower seating aftermarket...

Nice video. Nice review. But you have so so so much more to discover on that. Change tires. Go Off Road. AND Most important put Mode into OFF Road Pro. If you go offroad its a huge jump how the bike will give power. Or try OFF Road Mode and have fun sliding in dirt roads without loosing control in the back. Iam riding this bike now 34000 KM. And I do not not regret a single day with it. Only what I dont like is the Keyless system, and the stock handguards are just for show. The brake very very easy. Replaced with barkbusters and all fine. Keep up the videos. 🏁

9:54 Riding while idling ❌ Rideling ✅

Chase you do a lot of first rides and have some insight with triumph, why is the 2021 speed triple 1200 RS not out to be test ridden? Or are they waiting to release it still because I don’t find any videos besides what it could be and specs but nobody is actually test riding it and are you going to test Ride it?

Should make an off-road review of the scrambler 🙌🏼

i want to know something...if i'm on my scrambler on the mountains...and the tire goes out....what should be my line of action...

Will you also be reviewing the Trident in the near future?

The video didn't do justice how beautiful this bike in real life, same as triump triple speed twin RR.

hi, thanks a lot, mine will come in 2 weeks.. in which region did you that ride? greetings from austria,peter

The stock handlebars are size 7/8 or 1inch?

This is my dreambike...

I Hate RU-vid, not been getting any notifications from your channel from a while ... looked at your views and I’m crying 😢

You've gotta take that off-road Chase. You're riding that bike at 40% its capability. The reason it feels so manoeuvrable is because it is, get it off-road and it'll show you what it's all about. Very informative video nonetheless.

Holding the seat woth your legs is a big part of motocross and off rode biking, good to know its ergonomic

That video thumbnail is a trip.. it’s the rhs of the bike but the exhaust is missing?? How and or why..

Absolutely love the Scrambler 1200's, I plan on buying one this year as my next bike. Thanks for the review!

Welcome to Roswell-Alpharetta route 9!!

How hot does it get? They say they improved heat distribution... so in layman words can I wear my shorts and ride it or will I get burned ?

Love Triumphs, But wish they get rid of key less fobs.

OC: That bike looks great! I'm wondering how capable it is off road! You should do an off road test ride on it!

10:36 How in the David Blaine did you get this camera angle???

Can you do a first ride on a Kawasaki Vulcan S 650cc please

Paint from RE GT650?

I hit 120 on my XE and it was ready to fkn fly😆

Please review triumph trident!!

Chase you should do a first ride on a Buell 1125r or 1190 so celebrate Buell coming back..... but not w Eric:/

Do a video on the dash please

OC: do a video on the dash!

Those look like some big ass handlebars 😂

fan from kerala

2021 Yamaha r1 or r1m first ride please

I know it's a boring bike, but I'd love to see a first ride on a Honda cb500x. ❤️👍

Im still early in the video, We need to talk about service times for this bike!! First service 500miles for break in, Second service, 1 year from first service or 10,000 miles, which ever one comes first!!!!!!

I’ve been riding for several years, never had a wind screen.

Can you remind us what your height is? You mention that it's a tall bike - curious as I'm 5'10" (1.778m). Thanks!

how tall are you?

Who else looks for the camera car still Knowing it’s never in the shot

I’m genuinely confused is theree any bike brand that the mountain motersports have ?😂😂😂

Being 6.4 tall, this would be the perfect bike for me tobuy and ride. The only negative point is my age going near 70. I wish I had the money decades ago, but it wasn't availabe back then.

Adventure series?

@Steve_kamrad Check out what he does on this bike.

OC-All about the adventure but doing it on the cheap.. this is out of my league. Nice though.

I'm a old school harley dude in other words my bikes have been chopped raked and cut up ,very cool in the looks department but sketchy as f#$%on the road yeah that dude but I can see my my greasy ass definitely riding and even owning sum of dat British steel its cool and I like tearing it up on dirt bikes so why not look pretty

Compare it to the honda africa twin

Never seen someone put 89 in their bike before. 91-93 only depending on the state.

What's your inseam? A tall bike for you but not for a taller person maybe.

so at 110 the wind buffeting is a bit rough...check 👍

I FOUND ONLY ONE YZ-09 in my area. It’s $2,200 I want it sooo bad but I cant afford it and still trying to find a job since I now have to wait to go to meps to enlist into the Marines. Ughhh it’s so pretty. I’m in western Kentucky and here’s nothing much here that I am looking here... most are expensive Harley’s or junk bikes that have been pulled apart and tried to be custom 30 years ago. Gosh I want it so bad. I hate this area for finding many varieties of bikes on fb.

How many ads do you have on this video? Now I can see why I hate YT so much these days.

OC: I think scramblers are more of a style thing for most people

I Wish triumph could give you the trident 660 .

Yammie noob should try

When you are riding the new fireblade rr-r

Do you actually not always pull in the clutch when starting a bike? Hmm… you must not drive stick, or ever had to kickstart. Just seems automatic.

Be nice to get a different scene for the photo instead of just cars in the background. I know this is the first ride route, but some variation would be refreshing.

Waiting for that new 2021 MT09 now! Also when I got to ride a one, its...strange to me. Its fast but its not? I cannot really describe it.

I own a XE and love it in all aspects... I'm 6 ft tall and it fits perfectly where other bikes feel too small for me its the swiss army knife of bikes, the only good looking adventure bike..I'm still too young for that ugly grandpa plastic shit looks that all other adv bikes offer..I don't mind the wind.. (the scrambler seat let's you slide back into more of an sporty position) the bike is heavy though. it's not the ideal off road bike ..also because of its price ;)

:O you don't put 91/93 in your motorcycles. Bad Chase bad! :P

had a 1200 xe 2020 and sold it . did not like the bike . wind noise is just awfull , the heat that comes off the bike is just not great. the Thurdulle is very iffy , and it came with a manufacturing fault on the screen that did not let me use lights or turn signal and two 3 and a half months for triumph to get on it .maybe just my particular bike but over all was not that happy

ktm 390 adv has IMU

No Ohlins on the front 😕

Bagus2... hai there?
