Triumph continues to tease its big model reveal for the 2019 model year, the new Triumph Scrambler 1200. Releasing yet another teaser video (above) we get our first glimpse of the new machine.
Our sources tell us that the Triumph Scrambler 1200 will be a capable full-sized dual-sport, and it will be fitted with the “high torque” version of Triumph’s 1,200cc parallel-twin engine, which makes 80hp and 77 lbs•ft of torque.
Two model variations are also expected. One will be road-going, and have cast wheels and street-focused rubber. The other will have spoked wheels and knobby tires. We expect both bikes to have a robust electronics package (straight from the Tiger series, if our Bothan spies can be believed).
Set to take on the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled, Triumph will have its work cutout for it, as the Italian brand is tipped (by us) to be debuting an 1,100cc variant of its dual-sport. Which of these big-sized scramblers will be all the rage for next model year? It’s hard to say, but we don’t have long to wait.
Ducati’s newest Scrambler model will debut in a few days’ time, whereas we will have to wait until the INTERMOT show in Cologne, Germany to see the new Triumph Scrambler 1200. Expect reports from us on both machines when they drop…if not sooner.
In the meantime, check out Triumph’s latest teaser video. We made screen captures of the bike shots, so you can examine them closer and in high-res.
