• THE SCRAMBLER 1200 XE: Leading the next step in scrambling evolution, the all-new XE is designed for outstanding dual-purpose performance and control, and advanced technology is central to creating a top-of-the-range riding experience. With all the cutting edge specification of the XC, plus a package of premium state-of-the-art technology that has never been available together on any Triumph motorcycle ever before, here’s how the range-topping category-leading Scrambler XE adds to your top quality ride.
• PREMIUM XE TECHNOLOGY: The world’s first motorcycle integrated GoPro control system (facilitated through a Bluetooth connectivity module available as an accessory) enables camera operation while you’re riding.

• ‘FOR THE RIDE’ TECHNOLOGY: The XE’s optimised cornering ABS and traction control systems are central to this superior riding experience.

This has a feature that allows the rider to personalise the start-up screen with their name, and is controlled by the illuminated switchcubes to give you all the ride information you want, when you need it, in pin-sharp detail. There are six riding modes on the XE – Road, Off-Road, Rain, Sport, Rider-Configurable, and Triumph’s adventure bike spec Off-Road Pro mode – each of which adjusts throttle response, ABS, and traction control settings to suit your surroundings.
