2024 Triumph Scrambler 1200 X Launched In India At Rs. 11.83 Lakh

Triumph Motorcycles India seems to be focussing on getting the more approachable and accessible version of its Scrambler 1200 range. The Scrambler 1200 X is the replacement for the now discontinued Scrambler 1200 XC. For 2024, the X replaces the XC as a more entry-level model, with better rider accessibility and pricing. But it’s the XE which is the more hardcore and off-road focussed model in the Triumph Scrambler 1200 family, although it has not been announced for India yet.

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 X replaces the outgoing Scrambler 1200 XC

For India, Triumph has only listed the Scrambler 1200 X on its website, which should be the only model offered on sale in India. Unlike the earlier Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC, the Scrambler 1200 X now is a more accessible with a 820 mm seat height, which can be dropped further to 795 mm with an optional low seat height. Clearly, the focus is on making the Scrambler 1200 range more accessible and manageable to a wider audience.

With a shorter stroke suspension (not fully adjustable like the XC it replaces), the new Scrambler 1200 X is more accessible to a wide range of riders of varying height and build. The older bike’s Brembo M50 brakes, Showa fork, and piggyback Ohlins rear shocks have been replaced with Nissin brakes and Marzocchi suspension units. The 310 mm diameter brake discs are smaller than the 320 mm disc on the earlier 1200 XC, and axially-mounted Nissin calipers now do the job instead of the radial-mount Brembo M50s on the earlier model. These changes could be a point of discussion for many, but the focus also seems to be to make the price point of the Scrambler 1200 X more accessible as well.

Same engine with some updates, and gets lean-sensitive riding aids.

The circular dash comes with optional Bluetooth and gets turn-by-turn navigation and notification alerts.
