2021 Triumph Scrambler

The 2021 Triumph Scrambler is an off-road modern classic manufactured by Triumph since 2006. Inspired on the immensely popular 1956 Triumph TR6 Trophy, this motorcycle has a classic look perfectly combined with the latest technology. Fifteen years after its launch, this motorcycle has gone through several changes and upgrades to compete in the current market.

The 2021 Triumph Scrambler checks all the boxes of what a scrambler is supposed to be. Its powerful 1200 cc parallel twin engine is present in the two versions of the model and has been updated to follow new emission restrictions, making it more efficient.

The 2021 Triumph Scrambler XC leans more on street riding, which doesn’t mean it is not prepared to go on dirt terrain. This motorcycle has a Showa inverted fork, Öhlins shocks, long travel, and Brembo brakes. This model is available in Sapphire Black, or in a dual-tone design in Cobalt Blue and Jet Black, or Matt Khaki Green and Matt Jet Black.

On the other hand, the 2021 Triumph Scrambler XE adds longer travel suspension and six riding modes, including Off-Road Pro, and optimized traction control, to ride on difficult terrain. This motorcycle is available in the same colors and designs as the XE, but the creativity on these models really shines through on the special editions.

The 2021 model brings us two special editions, the Gold Line Edition, and the Scrambler 1200 Steve McQueen Edition. Both motorcycles feature the same specs as the standard Scrambler, the Gold Line presents a new color scheme in Baja Orange and Silver Ice with a hand painted golden line that gives it its name.

The Steve McQueen edition is inspired by the 1956 TR6 Trophy, a motorcycle used to perform what is known to this day as one of the best motorcycle stunts in film history on “The Great Escape” starring actor Steve McQueen. The 2021 model is available in Competition Green and Aluminum with hand painted details in gold.

The two versions of the 2021 Triumph Scrambler are a great combination of classic style and modern technology, with stronger and more aggressive lines than other modern classic models, these motorcycles are still a perfect base for a customization. The special editions of this year show us how a few changes can tell a whole different story.
