2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC Launched At Rs. 10.73 Lakh

Triumph Motorcycles has launched the new Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC at Rs. 10.73 lakh (ex-showroom). The Scrambler 1200 XC offers true-blue off-road ability with the styling of a modern classic. Globally, the new Scrambler 1200 is available in two variants - the Scrambler 1200 XC and the even more extreme, top-spec Scrambler 1200 XE. For India though, Triumph has only introduced the Scrambler 1200 XC. But even with less suspension travel than the XE, the 1200 XC is a hard-core Scrambler which can go the distance and take on all kinds of terrain.

1200 cc engine makes 89 bhp at 7,400 rpm, 110 Nm at 3950 rpm

The 1200 cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine is more or less the Bonneville 1200 'high torque' engine of the Triumph Bonneville T120, but the state of tune is different. The Scrambler 1200 XC's engine is tuned to have performance which is somewhere between the High Torque 1200 cc engine's power and torque and the Thruxton R's High Power 1200 cc engine's characteristics. It puts out 89 bhp at 7,400 rpm, but the 110 Nm of peak torque comes in at just 3,950 rpm, which comes in at around 1,000 rpm less than the Thruxton.

Scrambler 1200 XC gets a 21-inch front wheel, and tyres are tubeless

The Scrambler 1200 XC gets a 21-inch spoked front wheel shod with dual-sport tubeless rubber, suspended from 45 mm upside down forks, with 200 mm of suspension travel. Twin 320 mm front discs are gripped by top-spec Brembo M50 calipers. At the rear, twin Ohlins shocks also offer 200 mm of suspension travel. In the electronics suite, the Scrambler 1200 XC offers a choice of five riding modes - Road, Rain, Sport, Off-Road and a fully customisable Rider mode. There's also an optional Bluetooth connectivity module which offers smartphone connectivity, turn by turn navigation, as well as GoPro controls from the switches on the handlebar.

The Scrambler 1200 XC weighs the same as the Triumph Tiger 800 XCx at 205 kg dry weight

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC tips the scales at 205 kg (dry weight), so it's near identical to the Triumph Tiger 800 XCx, but with a lighter front end, and lower seat height, the Scrambler 1200 XC is more accessible, and feels easier to handle than the big, burly Tiger. In India, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC will compete head on with the Ducati Scrambler 1100 (Rs. 10.9 lakh), and even the more expensive BMW R Nine T Scrambler (Rs. 15.9 lakh).

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
