The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC is a superb blend of modern classic design and adventure capability
The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC may not look attractive or good-looking to everyone. That's because it blends modern classic design, yet loaded to the gills with all the modern electronic gadgetry, as well as real off-road capability. It's got a tall-ish stance, with the big, 21-inch spoked front wheel, suspended from the 45 mm Showa upside down fork with 200 mm travel. The LED headlight with the LED DRL strip lends a premium touch to the otherwise plain-Jane looks of the Scrambler.
