Not built for acceleration duels

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE 2020

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE is still a wonderfully unreasonable and brutal fun machine. It reminds us why we love motorbikes. It provides great moments in the saddle that make you forget practical disadvantages. The Marzocchi suspension elements installed since 2024 work incredibly well and, in conjunction with the Brembo Stylema system, make the XE a factor not to be underestimated in the country road duel. Off-road, it is unrivalled in this class anyway. All in all, a fascinating motorbike that attracts a lot of attention.
