FARRES & MCLELLAN TAKE MX2 1-2 AND

TRIUMPH CLINCHES MANUFACTURERS TITLE 

• Triumph secures its first FIM World Championship title
• Historic achievement comes just three years after entering motocross
• Guillem Farres crowned 2026 FIM MX2 Motocross World Champion
• Triumph claims the FIM MX2 Motocross Manufacturers World Championship and championship 1-2 

Triumph Motorcycles is celebrating the first ever World Championship victory in its history, as Guillem Farres has been crowned the 2026 FIM MX2 Motocross World Champion with the Triumph TF 250-X in Darwin, Australia. Teammate Camden McLellan finished an incredible season in second place, ensuring Triumph secured the prestigious FIM MX2 Motocross Manufacturers World Championship title.

Just three years after launching the TF 250-X and entering motocross for the first time, Triumph has secured the MX2 World Championship, Manufacturers' Championship and Teams' title, while also claiming a championship 1-2. This historic moment concludes an outstanding year in MX2 with Farres and McLellan winning 11 of 19 Grands Prix.

The Triumph duo achieved 21 moto wins between them and 26 podium finishes, including eight double podiums and four 1-2 finishes aboard the Triumph TF 250-X. As a result, the Triumph Factory Racing team has secured Triumph’s place as FIM MX2 Motocross Manufacturers World Champion for the first time in its history. This is also the first time a British manufacturer has won a world motocross title since 1965.

Nick Bloor, Chief Executive Officer, Triumph Motorcycles said:“To win Triumph's first FIM World Championship title just three years after entering motocross is a proud and historic moment for everyone involved in the project. We started this ambitious programme three years ago, when we entered some of the most prestigious off-road championships with factory teams, while simultaneously launching a new line-up of bikes in a new segment. We promised to be 100% committed to making a long-lasting impact, and while we were confident that we would create a great product and achieve good results on the racetrack, this year has been really outstanding.

“Winning both the FIM MX2 Motocross World Championship and the FIM MX2 Motocross Manufacturers' World Championship is a source of immense pride for everyone at Triumph. We’d like to offer our huge congratulations to Guillem and Camden, along with the team and everyone involved in the project.”

AN INCREDIBLE SEASON

Having taken a first Grand Prix podium with Mikkel Haarup at the manufacturer's first FIM MX2 World Championship race in 2024, followed by a first moto win with Camden McLellan in 2025, the Triumph Factory Racing team's progress in 2026 has been exceptional.

McLellan took Triumph’s first Grand Prix overall win and red plate in Spain at round two of the series in late March, with Farres taking his first Grand Prix as part of Triumph’s first 1-2 podium finish in France at round six in May. Since taking control of the championship after winning Triumph’s home Grand Prix – the MXGP of Great Britain in July – Farres never relinquished the series lead. Across his championship-winning season, the 23-year-old Spanish racer won 14 motos and six rounds including a mid-season run of four consecutive GP wins during the summer. Together with six further overall podium results, Farres ended the season with a 36-point lead over McLellan.

McLellan also impressed throughout the campaign and he led the championship early in the season after winning round two in Spain. As the series progressed, the 22-year-old South African continued to perform and won five Grands Prix in total, including back-to-back wins at the final two rounds in China and Australia.

Besides his victories, McLellan landed on the overall podium eight times to highlight his career-best season in MX2 and he will start 2027 as a title favourite with Farres moving up to the premier MXGP class with the team next year.

Guillem Farres said: ““It’s been an unbelievable weekend here in Australia and it’s been a super good season. We wrapped up the championship in the first race, with Camden taking the win and me finishing second, which was an amazing feeling. Overall, it’s been an incredible season and definitely one I’ll remember for the rest of my life. I enjoy being with the team, we work really hard, and I’m super happy to get this championship as we had a lot of motivation for it.

“It feels good to do this, obviously I had a tough time in America so this is in some way redemption for that. A lot of things go through your mind when you have a hard time, even stepping away from the sport, but we kept going. After I decided to come back to Europe, Vince and Thierry were the first ones to welcome me and they always believed in me. The progress we have made with Triumph has been incredible. I fought to get to the front, to get the results and now we are here. It’s even more special to do it on a Triumph, especially with everything it means to them too and what we’ve all achieved in a short time.  I’m super happy and grateful for everyone around me and a big thanks to them, the team and my family. Triumph and the whole team have done an amazing job all year. It hasn’t always been easy, but we’ve made the best of every situation, and I’m really happy and proud of what we’ve achieved together.”

Camden McLellan added: “It’s been a good season. To begin with we had a great off-season, we made some good progress with the bike and the programme. We worked very hard and right from the beginning we were exactly where we needed to be. Unfortunately, a few rounds in I had a little injury, but after the break we came back strong and I was able to get podium after podium, demonstrating a lot of speed and consistency, which I’m super proud of. I unfortunately fell a little bit short of the world championship, but Guillem was the better rider this year, so huge congratulations to him. Overall, I think it’s been a great year. I’m proud of the whole team. They deserve this win and they deserve the championship.

“To get one and two for Triumph in the championship and to win the manufacturers championship shows the amount of work that everyone has put in. It’s been an incredible year for Triumph, so a huge thank you to everyone involved.”

Steve Sargent, Chief Product Officer, Triumph Motorcycles commented: “This is a landmark moment for Triumph. We entered motocross with a clear ambition to build championship-winning motorcycles and establish ourselves at the front of the sport. Combining Triumph's engineering expertise with the racing knowledge of Vince, Thierry, and Clément has enabled us to develop the Triumph TF 250-X into a world championship-winning machine in only its third season. Congratulations to Guillem, Camden, the team, our partners and everyone at Triumph who helped make this historic achievement possible.”

Ian Kimber, Head of Global Racing Programmes, Triumph Motorcycles said: “Triumph has always been known for having great products that are engineered to perform for riders. Racing adds a new dimension to the process by developing the product in real time, and the passion of our collective team, from the OE side and within the race teams, is what pushes the products further and has been pivotal in our off-road project.”

“The last few years have seen blood, sweat and tears from so many people pouring so much into this both professionally and personally, and to see it paying off is just incredible. Guillem and the Triumph TF 250-X are FIM MX2 Motocross World Champions after a season of world-class performances on a bike that has only been in production and competing for three years. Congratulations to Guillem; his focus, dedication, and talent have been unwavering this season. To also clinch second place with Camden and take a championship 1-2 with so many GP victories, and the important FIM MX2 Manufacturers title, is just incredible. Both riders have been exceptional in their quest for success and a huge congratulations to Camden too on his amazing season.

“I also want to thank each and every person involved in this project; all of our sponsors, technical partners, Thierry, Vincent, and their team, everyone back at the factory and Triumph Factory Racing. This is a historic day that dreams are made of!”

With an exceptional season complete, the whole team will now return to Europe and enjoy a day of celebration at Triumph’s headquarters in Hinckley, UK. Attention will then turn to the FIM Motocross of Nations where Farres will represent Team Spain with McLellan lining up for South Africa.

Buying a motorcycle is a bigger decision than picking a color and a price tag. The right bike depends on your body size, riding experience, the roads you'll actually ride on, and how much time you're willing to spend on maintenance. This guide walks through the practical side of choosing a motorcycle — from body style and engine size to the checks worth doing before you hand over any money.

Start With How You'll Actually Ride

Before looking at specific models, it helps to define the use case. A bike bought for weekend canyon carving will disappoint on a daily commute, and a touring bike will feel like overkill for short city hops. Ask three questions first: How far will most rides be? Will you carry a passenger or luggage regularly? Is the riding mostly city streets, highway, or unpaved roads?

Answering these honestly narrows the field faster than comparing horsepower figures.

Motorcycle Types at a Glance

Sitting on a few of these in person matters more than any spec sheet. Reach to the handlebars, footpeg position, and seat height all affect comfort and control in ways that are hard to judge from photos.

Matching Engine Size to Experience

Displacement (measured in cc) is a rough proxy for power, but the relationship between cc and rideability varies a lot between bike types. A 300cc sport bike can feel more urgent than a 500cc cruiser.

Most riding instructors recommend starting on something manageable rather than the biggest bike you can afford — a bike that's easy to control builds confidence faster than one that has more power than you need.

New vs. Used: What Changes

A used motorcycle can cost 30–50% less than the same model new, but the savings come with homework attached.

Buying new gets you a full warranty, no wear-and-tear questions, and financing options through the dealer. You pay a premium for that certainty, and depreciation in the first year or two is steep, as with cars.

Buying used rewards patience. Look for a bike with a documented service history, original parts (aftermarket exhausts and modified electronics can hide problems), and — where the market has that reporting — a clean title with no reported accident damage. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic, separate from the seller, is worth the fee every time.

When researching a purchase online, it is also worth checking that you are using the correct website address, especially when moving between marketplaces, comparison tools, and other familiar online platforms. The same basic rule applies to services such as آدرس OnjaBet : using the correct address helps avoid outdated pages, unofficial copies, or unnecessary redirects.

What to Check Before You Buy

Whether new or used, a short physical checklist prevents most expensive surprises:

Tires and brakes. Uneven tire wear can point to suspension or alignment issues. Check brake pad thickness and look for scoring on the rotors.

Chain and sprockets (for chain-driven bikes). A loose, rusty, or unevenly worn chain suggests the previous owner skipped maintenance — a signal to look harder at everything else.

Fluid levels and leaks. Oil, coolant, and brake fluid should be at proper levels with no visible leaks around gaskets or seals.

Frame and fork alignment. Look for scrapes, cracks, or bent components that would suggest a prior drop or crash, especially on used bikes advertised as "never dropped."

Electronics. Turn on the ignition and test every light, indicator, and gauge. Faulty wiring on an older bike is a common and sometimes costly repair.

VIN check. Where a vehicle history service is available in your country, running the VIN can surface accident history, odometer discrepancies, or an outstanding lien.

Licensing and Insurance

Requirements vary significantly by country and even by region within a country, so this is worth confirming locally before you buy anything. In general:

• Most jurisdictions require a separate motorcycle license or endorsement in addition to a standard driver's license.

• A basic rider training course is often required for new riders and can lower insurance premiums even where it isn't mandatory.

• Insurance costs scale with engine size, rider age and experience, and how the bike is stored (garaged vs. street-parked).

• Some regions apply engine-size or power tiers that restrict what a newly licensed rider can legally ride for the first year or two.

Confirm the exact rules with your local licensing authority — this is one area where getting it wrong has real legal consequences, not just financial ones.

Essential Gear Budget

New riders often underestimate gear costs and then skip protection to save money — which is the wrong place to cut corners. A realistic minimum kit includes:

Budget gear has improved a lot in recent years — full certified protection doesn't require the most expensive brand, but it does require checking for the actual safety certification rather than style alone.

Ongoing Costs to Plan For

The purchase price is the beginning, not the whole budget. Plan for:

• Routine maintenance: oil changes, tire replacement, brake pads, and chain maintenance on a regular interval.

• Insurance, which is often billed separately and higher than a comparable car policy for new riders.

• Storage, especially in climates where the bike needs off-season winterization.

• Gear replacement: helmets in particular have a recommended replacement cycle even without a crash, as materials degrade over time.

Test Ride Before You Decide

No spec sheet substitutes for sitting on the bike and, where legally and logistically possible, riding it. Pay attention to how the controls fall to hand, how the bike balances at a stop, and how it feels rolling through a parking lot at low speed — low-speed control is where most new-rider mistakes happen, not on the open road.

If a dealership won't allow a test ride, ask about their return or exchange policy, and treat that unwillingness as information in itself.

The Bottom Line

The best motorcycle for you is the one that matches your actual riding conditions, fits your body, and leaves room to grow into more power as your skills develop. Resist the urge to buy for the bike you'll be in three years — buy for the rider you are now, and treat the upgrade as part of the plan rather than a compromise.

ALEX MARQUEZ
“It’s a shame because, despite a difficult weekend, we had managed to find something that was helping me during the race. Unfortunately, I lost some time in a few battles and then made a mistake that compromised our Sunday. Now we have a week to recover, and then we’ll start thinking about Japan.”

FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
“We have to be satisfied. We made a good comeback after starting from the fourth row. We were fast, had a good pace, and fought with Marc for the position of best Ducati… As always, our weekends start off so-so with qualifying and then often improve. If we had started further up, who knows, but today we did well.”

 

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54 “The first objective has been achieved. We wanted to be fast from the very beginning and try to improve our performance over a single lap. The feeling wasn’t the best today, but we managed to set a good lap time and we have to be satisfied with that. We’ve made a good start, and now we’ll have to work to be competitive again tomorrow. It’s an important end to the season, both to recover physically and to continue improving.” ALEX MÁRQUEZ “I had a small issue with the front brake, which led to this unexpected crash. The impact was hard, but I’m okay, although I’ll need a long physiotherapy session this afternoon. In the end, we managed to make it into Q2, but at least at the moment we’re not competitive enough to stay with the front runners. After this Friday, I have to say that Pedro is definitely one step ahead.”

SEVEN COUNTRIES COMPETE WITH ‘TIME CAPSULE’ CUSTOMISED SCRAMBLERS

• Voting for Triumph Originals 2026 is now open
• Each representing their country, seven Triumph teams have worked with their locally chosen custom house to showcase their innovative design, build technique and craftsmanship
• Each bespoke one-off creation has been inspired by a specific era in the Triumph Scrambler’s iconic past

The search for Triumph’s most original custom build of 2026 is underway, as voting begins in the Triumph Originals global custom motorcycle challenge. Teams from Canada, China, France, Italy, Spain, the UK and US have collaborated with their hand-picked custom workshops to create a Triumph Scrambler that best reflects the Time Capsule theme of this year’s competition.

Scrambler and custom fans can cast their vote on a dedicated hub on the Triumph website, which features details and photos of each custom build. Voting closes at 13:00 BST (UK Time) on 22 September 2026.

The Scrambler was born from the custom culture scene, making it a fitting platform for Triumph Originals 2026. In the 1960s, riders with a thirst for freedom would adapt the leading performance bikes of the day, kitting them out with knobbly tyres, wide handlebars and high exhausts to create machines capable of tackling the desert and dirt. These were the ‘real’ desert sleds: the bikes that Steve McQueen and Bud Ekins raced and won in the sand of the International Six Days Trials and the legendary Big Bear and Baja 1000s. The Time Capsule brief has seen the teams select a chapter from this legendary history, and create a custom build that best encapsulates the style and attitude of that specific time.

THE JUDGES

The public vote will be combined with the voting from Triumph’s panel of judges from around the world, who bring together unparalleled levels of expertise and knowledge in custom builds and motorcycling history.

Steve Sargent

Triumph Motorcycles’ Chief Product Officer will lead the judges by selecting the Time Capsule builds he believes truly showcase original and innovative design and build techniques. His focus will be on assessing the technical creativity of the build.

These include the Boys Republic, the non-profit school and treatment community where Steve McQueen spent time as a youth, and Steve McQueen’s Festival of Speed, a gathering of the most notable and eclectic vehicles in the world.

Eric Hendricx

Bestselling author and journalist, Eric writes about motorcycles, adventure, culture, human performance, travel, and modern masculinity. He’s written for Rolling Stone, Men’s Journal, Robb Report and Revolver, and his latest book Motorcycle Life: Stories, Wisdom, and Obsession from Riders Around the World features more than 100 riders from around the world.

Satoshi

Co-founder and lead mechanic of the legendary Fonk Motorcycles in Kobe, Japan, Satoshi possess a deep understanding and passion for vintage Triumphs. The revered custom builder describes Fonk as distinctly Japanese in spirit, but with the heart of pure Triumph.

Rolf Henniges is one of Germany’s leading motorcycle journalists and writers, and the founder of FUEL magazine, which focusses on motorcycle culture, custom machines and their builders. Having covered more than a million kilometres on hundreds of motorbikes, Rolf brings a combination of technical knowledge, riding experience and editorial judgement to the panel.

Steve Sargent, Chief Product Officer at Triumph Motorcycles commented: “Triumph Scramblers are recognised globally as the perfect starting point to create a custom build that reflects the personality and creativity of the owner. This model has inspired generations of motorcyclists to build their perfect bike and now with our current range of 400cc to 1200cc Scramblers, custom builders have more choice than ever to fire their imagination.”

THE ENTRIES

UK

Custom Workshop: Stockwell Design

Model: Scrambler 900

Team Leader: Charlie Stockwell

“It’s a balance of design, engineering, and storytelling.”

For three decades, Stockwell Design, in collaboration with the LIND Group & Triumph London, has been an epicentre for meticulously crafting custom motorcycles. Lathe at the ready, Stockwell defines the studio's approach in three words: Refined, functional and purposeful.  It's a standard that last year's competition only sharpened, pushing the team to balance storytelling with execution in every detail.

“At the core of our work is the belief that every build must carry a clear concept – because the bikes are not just visual pieces, they're built to be ridden," says Stockwell. For 2026, that concept drew from the Scrambler's 60s and 70s identity: raw, functional, and stripped back. Not the work of any single machine, but the spirit of all Scramblers and their adventures through life.

The result is a bike imagined as though it’s lived a long life – not beaten, not neglected, but properly used. “It’s a bike that looks like it's spent its time traveling around the world and then come back home to England, rising through muddy lanes," says Stockwell. “It’s a moment in time, captured and made relevant for today.”

Canada

Custom Workshop: Motos Illimitées

Model: Scrambler 1200 XE

Team Leader: Pascal Lauzon

“The goal was to take this icon to another level where no one expected it to go.”

Inspired by a lifelong passion for motocross and off-road riding, this custom Scrambler reimagines the platform as a modern big-displacement supermoto rather than a traditional adventure motorcycle.

Drawing design inspiration from the TF 250-E, the build incorporates its aggressive off-road styling into the Scrambler’s chassis to create a machine that is both purposeful and distinctive. Seventeen-inch Thruxton RS wheels, Moto-Master wave brake discs, and a custom Zard dual-silencer exhaust system enhance its supermoto character, while a series of carefully integrated modifications contribute to a cleaner, more minimalist appearance. The front indicators are neatly housed within the radiator shrouds, the instrument cluster and ignition have been repositioned, and the rear lighting is discreetly concealed beneath the rear fender alongside the license plate bracket.

Complementing the bike’s performance-focused stance are MX-style footpegs and a striking custom graphics package featuring a unique lace-inspired design. While many Scrambler customs lean towards rally or round-the-world adventure themes, this project takes a different direction, paying homage to the era when supermotos were at their peak and riders transformed dual-sport motorcycles into lightweight, agile street-focused machines.

The result is a bold and nostalgic interpretation of the Scrambler, blending contemporary craftsmanship with the raw energy and rebellious spirit that defined a generation of supermoto culture.

China

Custom Workshop: BVL Garage

Model: Scrambler 900

Team Leader: JOMO

"We want to share China’s custom motorcycle culture with the world."

The BVL-VMX-900 is built on the new Scrambler 900 platform, inspired by the 1981 TR7T Tiger Trail. BVL reinterprets the spirit of the 1980s, an era of freedom, optimism and adventure through a VMX-inspired design language. 

A bright yellow fuel tank finished with silver leaf, an oversized front mudguard, a handcrafted rear mudguard and a white frame combine to create a distinctly period-inspired silhouette. Revised suspension and wheel specifications raise the ride height, improving off-road capability while giving the motorcycle a taller, more purposeful stance. New manufacturing techniques, including metal 3D printing, have also been incorporated into the build.

Drawing on China's advanced manufacturing capabilities, BVL blends industrial processes with traditional craftsmanship to create a unique interpretation of the Scrambler 900, carrying the adventurous spirit of the 1980s towards every road worth exploring.

France

Team Leader: Sebastien Guillemot

Custom Workshop: FCR Original

Model: Scrambler 1200 XE

"For us, the word Scrambler, above all, evokes freedom."

The name Triumph Scrambler has always evoked images of adventure, dust, action and rugged capability, combined with the timeless style of the 1960s.

Bringing these elements together, Triumph France partnered with renowned custom builder FCR Original to create the Scrambler 1200 XE 'Red Dust'.

Designed to be purposeful rather than purely decorative, the 'Red Dust' is a high-performance, capable and robust machine. It is the antithesis of a showpiece - a heavily modified motorcycle inspired by the past, but not exclusively so. A machine that remains true to its neo-retro roots, while impressing as much with its appearance as with what it can achieve in the dust.

Italy

Custom Workshop: South Garage Motor Co

Model: Scrambler 400 XC

Team Leader: Giuseppe Carucci

"I’m relentlessly in search of the perfect balance between aesthetics, functionality, comfort, and performance."

Born from the renewed collaboration between South Garage Milano and Triumph Italy, Dune 400 is a custom build based on the Triumph Scrambler 400 XC platform, reinterpreting the authentic spirit of the original Scramblers while blending it with the aesthetics and charm of the legendary desert racing motorcycles of the 1980s and 1990s.

The inspiration comes from an era when motorcycles were modified to go beyond the limits of paved roads, driven by a desire for exploration, freedom, and adventure. While the first Scramblers emerged from adapting road bikes for dirt trails and rough terrain, Dune 400 embraces this heritage and translates it into a contemporary vision, preserving the essential and adventurous character that made those motorcycles iconic.

The project stands out through a range of components specifically developed to enhance its off-road identity: protective side fairings inspired by desert rally bikes, a larger windscreen, tubular crash protection, a high-mounted exhaust, knobby tires, and a sand-coloured livery that immediately evokes the vast desert landscapes from which it takes its name. Every element has been designed to improve functionality, protection, and visual presence.

Dune 400 represents South Garage’s vision of a modern Scrambler: not an extreme show bike, but a practical, replicable, and ride-ready motorcycle designed to leave conventional routes behind, embrace new adventures, and rediscover the thrill of exploration without boundaries.

Spain

Custom Workshop: Tamarit Motorcycles

Model: Scrambler 400 XC

Team Leader: Quique Berna

“True perfection lies not only in looks, but in impeccable technical execution.”

What began in 2010 with two friends turning passion into profession has crossed continents. Quique Berna and Matías Canales now lead Tamarit Motorcycles from their headquarters in Alicante, Spain – a workshop that's delivered over 210 one-of-a-kind bikes across the globe and become the world's leading specialist in transforming Triumph's Bonneville engines.

Fuelled by gasoline and coffee, Tamarit's approach is "100% specialized and Triumph-focused". By weaving classic British heritage through a laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle, their methods blend old-school craftsmanship with a custom accessory system. Never ones for trends, they enhance what's already there, honouring Triumph's timeless DNA and building for the long haul.

In last year's competition, co-founder Quique served as a judge – an experience that sharpened the team's eye for flawless finishes and strong storytelling and left them determined to channel that high standard into a bike of their own.

For the 2026 design brief, the team – who sum up their style as "elegance, exclusivity, and heritage" – focused their build on a concept of duality: past and present, two eras united in one machine. For Tamarit Motorcycles, they've been building time capsules all along – bikes whose essence gets frozen, then reawakened years later, untouched by time. Like a white t-shirt, it's timeless now and will be in twenty years' time.

US

Custom Workshop: Triumph Columbia River

Model: Scrambler 1200 X

Team Leader: Liz Rubin

“The Scrambler doesn’t pretend. It’s built to get dirty, take a wrong turn, and keep exploring. Its heritage design and instant cool factor make it a perfect canvas for customization.”

A Tribute to PNW Adventure, built by Liz Rubin and the team at Triumph Columbia River in Portland, Oregon, is a custom Scrambler inspired by the landscapes, roads, and adventurous spirit of the Pacific Northwest.

Designed as a motorcycle that could be ridden and enjoyed every day, the build draws on the region’s strong connection to the outdoors, where the journey is often more important than the destination.

Inspired by US Forest Service vehicles and childhood memories of Smokey Bear in the Rocky Mountains, the bike blends nostalgia, rugged character, and modern functionality. Custom components, bespoke details, and distinctive CROOKED brand additions enhance both its performance and personality, while the paintwork, logos, and finishing touches reflect the creativity and collaboration of Portland’s motorcycle community. More than just a custom build, this project is a tribute to place, adventure, and the people who helped bring the vision to life, resulting in a Scrambler that is clean, capable, and unmistakably full of character.

SCRAMBLER: BUILT FROM CUSTOM CULTURE

In 2006 Triumph reintroduced the Scrambler, blending timeless style with genuine adventure capability. Now available in five variants, every model shares a confident riding position, easy handling and a rugged, go-anywhere character. Signature details like the high-level twin exhaust, stripped-back design and premium finishes give the bike its unmistakable look and timeless appeal.

Scrambler 400 X

The Scrambler 400 X combines accessible performance with authentic design cues, including its commanding riding position, wide handlebars and long-travel suspension. Its lightweight chassis and responsive single-cylinder 400cc engine deliver confidence on and off the road, making it a versatile entry point into the Scrambler range.

Scrambler 400 XC

The Scrambler 400 XC builds on the 400 platform with a specification focused on enhanced off-road capability. With a rugged stance and purposeful detailing, it is designed to deliver control and confidence across varied terrain while maintaining the core Scrambler character.

Bonneville Scrambler 900

With its distinctive high pipes, iconic silhouette and thrilling British twin bark, the Scrambler 900 is the first choice for urban classic style and all-road riding fun. Its high-torque 900cc Bonneville engine and ride-by-wire throttle delivers superb performance, rideability and control. Its 19” front and 17” rear wire-spoked wheels add to its stylish and confident stance.

Bonneville Scrambler 1200 X

The Scrambler 1200 X delivers authentic Scrambler style with thrilling, characterful performance, and effortless all-road agility. It is also remarkably accessible, with a seat height of 820mm, reducing to 795mm with the accessory low seat.

Bonneville Scrambler 1200 XE

The commanding presence of the Scrambler 1200 XE makes it capable of conquering the most rugged terrain, with an off-road ready 21” front wheel and Triumph’s premium quality and finish. The high-power, torque-rich 1200cc Bonneville engine has a dedicated Scrambler tune.
