In this video I’m out on the all new 2026 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE, and I’ll be honest—on first glance it looks like Triumph have just given it a bit of a makeover. But once you’re actually riding it, you realise the clever bit is under the skin. What seem like small changes make a big difference, and the end result is a bike that’s genuinely an absolute pleasure to ride. I talk through what’s new, what it feels like on the road, and why those subtle tweaks matter in the real world—especially if, like me, you ride year-round and you want a bike that’s easy to live with as well as fun. I also run through the key stats so you’ve got the numbers to match the ride: 90 PS / 89 bhp at 7,300 rpm, 110 Nm at 4,500 rpm, an 870 mm seat height, 230 kg wet, and a 15-litre tank. If you’re wondering whether the 2026 Scrambler 1200 XE is actually “even better than before”, this one’s my no-nonsense take after getting a proper ride on it.
