Triumph has stepped away from the old format of launching all its new models in a single shot and moved to a programme of continual updates and new bike releases throughout the year - and the latest updates include changes for the Scrambler 1200 range . The big news here is that the old Scrambler 1200 XC model has been dropped for 2024 , replaced with a new Scrambler 1200 X that promises
More updated models for next year
to open the door to more customers - lowering the price and increasing the gap between the lower-cost Scrambler 1200 X and the more upmarket Scrambler 1200 XE that remains available . The new 1200 X sacrifices some offroad ability in favour of a more accessible height , replacing the old XC ' s Showa front , Öhlins rear suspension combination with new Marzocchi parts at both ends . They ' re non-adjustable and lower , with 170 mm of travel instead of the XC ' s 200 mm . The brakes are also revised , with twin-piston Nissin front calipers instead of the old Brembo four-pots , backed up by a Continental ABS system . Unlike the old XC , the X ' s ABS works in corners thanks to an IMU . The changes help bring the seat height

down to 820 mm . That ' s 20 mm lower than the old XC and a full 50 mm down from the XE version , and a low seat option can bring it down even more to 795 mm . On board , the Scrambler 1200 X gets new instruments with a white-onblack LCD display above a smaller colour TFT dash , all housed in a single , circular pod . For riders who want real off-road capability , the updated 2024 Scrambler 1200 XE still has a large 250 mm of suspension travel and huge ground clearance , like its predecessor , but it also swaps to Marzocchi suspension in place of the old Showa and Öhlins parts . It also keeps the Brembo brakes but uprated from the 2023 model ' s M50s to Stylema calipers , with cornering ABS as standard . Both the Scrambler 1200 X and the XE get engine revisions for 2024 , with a new 50 mm single throttle body , revised exhaust headers and new mapping that shifts the peak power and torque points to lower in the rev range . The exhaust changes also reduce the heat that reaches the rider , and both models have multiple riding modes and traction control settings . Peak power and torque figures are unchanged at 89 hp ( 66.2 kW ) and 81.1 lb-ft ( 110 Nm ). Elsewhere in Triumph ' s 2024 range , the company has introduced a new set of limited-edition models in the Modern Classics range with the one-year-only ' Stealth ' variants of the Bonneville , Speedmaster , |
Thruxton ' Final Edition ' model
Bobber , Speed Twin and Scrambler 900 . These are the follow-ups to 2022 ' s Gold Line bikes and 2023 ' s Chrome Collection , and like those previous models , numbers aren ' t restricted but the Stealth bikes will be sold for just one year to ensure exclusivity in the future , with a relatively small price premium over the standard variants . Each Stealth bike gets a fuel tank that fades from black at the front to a candy metallic colour at the rear - with different colours for each model . It ' s a finish that ' s achieved with a silver base coat with the black fade sprayed on top , followed by several coats of coloured lacquer to build up the pigment . The Bobber gets ' Purple Stealth ', while the Speedmaster is finished in ' Red Stealth '. The Bonneville T100 and T120 come in ' Blue Stealth ' and the

Scrambler 1200 X
Bonneville Black Stealth Edition has a tank that fades from black to silver . The Speed Twin 1200 comes in ' Red Stealth ', the 900 version gets a ' Green Stealth ' finish , and the Scrambler 900 gets an ' Orange Stealth ' paint scheme . You ' ll notice that the Thruxton isn ' t included among the Modern Classic models in the Stealth range . That ' s
