The new Scrambler 1200 line-up can trace its roots directly back to the original Scrambler scene of the early 1950s , where Triumph played a pivotal role and set the template for what made a Scrambler great . Building the leading bikes of the day , stripped back with straightthrough ‘ twin pipes ’ fitted high or low slung and chopped off – Triumphs were the original desert sleds . These inspired the world ’ s first production scramblers , with the Bonneville T-120TT and the TR6 ’ SC ’. In 2006 , with the launch of the very first ‘ modern era ’ Scrambler , Triumph again delivered the genesis of a new category . This triggered the world of Scramblers we see today and a whole new global fan base , from urban riders to movie stars , even featuring in the latest Bond film , No Time to Die .
