Triumph Scrambler 1200 is all set to be launched in India on 23rd May. Globally, it comes in XC and XE variants, but we will get the base variant only.
Triumph launched the 1200cc Speed Twin in India, last month. It looks identical to the entry-level Street Twin, using certain different styling bits like new alloys, different decals, and of course a bigger engine.
The official website of Triumph India shows that the Scrambler 1200 is also coming to India soon. Now, the manufacturer has announced that the upcoming bike will be launched on 23rd May.
As said, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 looks the identical to the 900cc Scrambler, but again, with some visual differences. Scramblers are meant for off-roading but with a modern-classic styling.

Globally, Scrambler 1200 is available in XC and XE variant. However, India will be only getting the base XC variant. The primary reason is to keep the prices in check, and also the XE variant is a bit taller.
It uses a 1200cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin cylinder engine, borrowed in a revised tune from Thruxton. The engine produces 90 BHP at 7400 RPM and 110 Nm at 3950 RPM, with the motor mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
Electronic aids include cornering ABS, Traction Control, Five riding modes (Rain, Road, Sport, Off-Road and Custom) and adjustable suspension setup.
