Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE is not the sensible spreadsheet answer to adventure riding. That is exactly why it is interesting.

It is tall, stylish, torquey and full of character, with a riding position that makes you want to take the long way home even when the long way home involves a suspicious-looking gravel track. Compared with a conventional adventure bike, it trades screen protection and huge luggage practicality for charm, simplicity and that classic high-pipe scrambler feel.

Why it fits the channel:

- Beautiful bike photography and video
- Road-to-trail travel stories
- Setup articles around soft luggage and protection
- Honest comfort, range and practicality notes
- Comparisons against more obvious adventure bikes
