Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some intermediate experience, given the tall seat height, 227kg wet weight, and long-travel suspension that requires confident weighting and balance at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt as a premium retro-styled scrambler that blends light off-road capability with everyday road riding and occasional long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe 870mm seat height and substantial 227kg wet weight demand above-average inseam and reasonable upper-body strength, particularly when maneuvering off-throttle or on uneven terrain.
CharacterDelivers a torquey, characterful parallel-twin power delivery with premium Showa and Öhlins suspension that rewards confident, relaxed riding over outright aggression.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for shorter riders, absolute beginners, or those seeking a lightweight city commuter or a track-focused sportbike.

2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200XE Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200XE, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
