RADVENTURE TIME - Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC - 2000 Miles With A Pillion, Is It Any Good?
It was a crazy 2021, but Dani & I managed to pull off our 2000 mile road trip last Summer, and it was something else. I've wanted to get this video up for some time, because I think the question surrounding 'comfortable & capable' 2 up riding on the Scrambler 1200, is very valid, and I'd love to give my insight. So how does it fair up as an adventure machine?
Popcorn at the ready folks, this is slightly "educational" (he says). As always, thanks for your support! Please like, subscribe and feel free to pop any questions in the comments below. Hope this helps anyone on the fence for Scram touring.
Big shout out and huge appreciation to Bell Helmets, Hepco Becker & Barkbusters for supporting me on this moto journey, thanks guys! Amazing brands who I'll always get behind.
I was rocking the Bell Eliminator Stockwell Designs Edition, Dani had the Bell Bullitt Reverb.
I shot most of the footage on my awesome Insta 360 ONE X2, you can get one here through my affiliate link if interested! Any support really helps. store.insta360.com/product/one_x2?insrc=INR6V8V
Dani had a GoPro Hero 7 Black setup on her helmet. Drone footage was captured by a DJI Mavic Mini.
The cabin we stayed in was Caban Crwn based in Powys, Wales. We booked it through the awesome site, Canopy & Stars. They have multiple cabins of different shapes & sizes to accommodate all families. This one was perfect for just us both. You can book it here: www.canopyandstars.co.uk/britain/wales/powys/beudy-banc/caban-crwn

Just a little clip.. The angelic formation of that crispy golden Rapeseed that fills our valleys with good vibes. I grew up in the Norfolk countryside, and I'd walk out of our yellow cottage and straight into these fields of yellow. I was drawn to the colour. They surrounded our village, and I'd spend hours playing in them. Tearing down those tractor tracks on my BMX and coming home looking lik...

Currently trying to get my wife on board with me getting a scrambler! Wish me luck! 🤣
Got a '23 XE about a month ago. I haven't had this much fun riding in a long-long time.
Brother can you help me… I’m looking where is the best place to buy the high front mudguard kit?
Do the company not make these pipes now brother?
First instinct is to check if the bike is hurt... 😅
Did they stop making these? I'm from Canada and I go on their website, I don't see any of these for sale. Also, just got a new 1200X so maybe they are making them for the new 2024 versions?
Nice video. Your bike has changed quite a bit in three years!
The space between your front wheel and the high mudguard looks unusually large, compared to my XC at least. Is that just due to the angle of the photo or did you do something to achieve that? Thanks in anticipation for your response
What comms did you guys use?
Kudos for even considering it. I find these kind of conditions sketchy on a eMTB so I think I'll wait till trails dry out to give it a go on the XC !
So does the exhaust burn the pilllions leg?
Great bike. Super into how those grip wraps have aged.
this will be my first upgrade in 2024 XE <3 It has pops and bangs on reduction ?
Triumph are considerably more reliable than Land Rover
Dont use front brake in off road and dont leve the cluch
I thought I'd seen all reviews of the bobber...I was wrong. What a thoroughly in depth review.
Great vid, loads of info, helped me make up my mind! Subscribed! Off tochec, out your other vids..
Give up the channel ?
About to take my test and your videos have inspired me to go for the scrambler 1200 XC. Perfect all rounder
Which TIRE did you use on this trip ?
Iam riding a Ultra Limited 2021 and want to go back to a light bike. Teh Scrambler 1200XE is my most favorite but for 2 up riding and luggage is not the best v For the mss?! This bike is a “Plastic Fantastic” look bike. I like bikes made of steel. Maybe i take a 900 tiger for a spin….
When something looks too good to be true it normally is! 10 days with one little side pannier to put your drone in! Come on do you think we're all born yesterday! Lol!
Hey bud, I love the song. What's the name of it?
Great review! Love the customization you did. Especially the wunderkind mudguard and the seat Could you please put in the video description all the brand names of all the parts you changed out? Maybe even some links. Many thanks!
Thanks for the idea guys! Did you try GS alternative? What would you say?
Fab video . Subscribed. Love the riding gear . Do you have any links ?
Nice inspiring video! What tires u are using and also exhaust please.
thank you buddy, glad you enjoyed it! Tyres here are Mitas E10's, I have been running Mitas E07+ the past year or two, and love them. Exhaust is the slash cut system by SP Engineering.
No I think you will find the Triumph reliable unlike a lot of Land rovers!
Amen to this!
Just found your channel. Brilliant guys your enthusiasm is addictive. Great to see you having a run out as a group also looked so cool, when we are away we are on my triumph trophy for pillion comfort but always wish I had my Thruxton 900 with me to go out on at evening times.
Hi, What was your setting on springs preload. How much did you have to crank them out? I don’t think you mentioned it in the video.
Does the passenger get a lot of heat from the exhaust? I want this for me and the wife
Any good? It’s brilliant my wife and I also here in Tasmania camp with my XE
Whats tires, bro?
I’m thinking of doing my Full bike licence and this is definitely the bike I will buy. I used to ride motocross bikes when I was younger and this is a road/motocross bike that looks and sounds so cool 😎
thanks for sharing!!!!
Hi, excellent video. What tires are you using on those bikes?
Thank you man. I think these were the Pirelli STR Rally tyres, but I may be mistaken. Tread pattern is the same. I know on the Triumph Adv Experience the Tiger 900's were kitted out with Metzler Karoo 3's. Both performed great.
They exhaust heat doesn’t bother either of you?
No, it was honestly the least of our worries, even with the cat in place. Heat is definitely there when stationery at lights/junctions, but nothing crazy. We both touched base on it in this video, and I can't recommend the Scram 1200 enough for 2 up riding.
Well said the land rover of motorcycle ❤
Thanks man! A lot more reliable than a Land Rover though 😂
Where’d ya go, man?
Life gets in the way! I will be returning with more content soon, so stay tuned! Apologies dude
@@unparalleledtwin5280 no apologies needed. Just glad to hear you aren’t done with the channel!
Complimenti, bel video ✌🏍🐺
That looked great guys. I'm in the process of looking for a new bike, think you might of just tipped it in favour of the XC 😁 it's got the right balance of practicality and classic good looks 😎 I'm sure you'd agree 👌
Thanks bud. That's amazing, you honestly won't regret it. I find the XC being a weapon on road, and slightly nicer/more planted to ride with the front end rake, narrower bars etc, than the XE. I mean the asphalt is truthfully where you spend most of your time anyway! How did you get on? Take the plunge and go for one?
This 1200cc behemoth could be called many things but a scrambler; it is not.
Subjective of course, but it sure does Scramble. I think it's the best modern Scrambler any manufacturer has brought to the market. The 1200 behemoth Twin is exactly why I love it.
Lol
how loud are these? basically straight through pipes
I still have the cat in, and I'm still rocking these pipes today. Honestly love the sound. They are loud, but not Harley obnoxious. Great balance. Straight through, they are a bit too much.
Do you sell the lightning bolt number board?
I actually fabricated this during lockdown. It's an ally oval number board that I bent and drilled to fit, then cut out my own design from some black vinyl. I enjoyed making it and adding my own personal stamp on the Scram.
Land Rover....over-complicated, overpriced and unreliable. Let's hope Triumph can do better.
Hey, Love this video. And it is sooo informative. I am about to pull the trigger on a scrambler. I took the XE out and it’s Just a little bit too tall. It would be fine for me but I want to take my wife on it as well. I suppose my question is.. what is your height and weight Matt. I’m about 6ft and 15.5 stone. My thought is with my wife and luggage the xe would be roomier? Also with the luggage rack you have would you need a new tail tidy or does the stock on still fit with that rack? 😃😃. Thanks again for the video 😃😃
What movie did you guys mention the Tiger RP is in ??
Great review. I got a 2023 Tiger Rally Pro and love it. I added crash bars, bash plate, mirrors, foot pegs, panniers, top case, tank bag, etc etc for moto camping and paragliding/hunting trips. Love mine.
Thanks for the great story. I'll definitely bear this one in mind for my next ride. Definitely get yourselves over to Europe. I came to Spain jn the mid '90s as a young biker and fell in love with the place. Still here thirty years later! Get the ferry over from Portsmouth to Santander one way and ride your arses off round Spain and back through France. You'll love it.
