Triumph calls it a ‘modern classic’, and there’s no doubt the styling of the new Scrambler 1200 is pretty damn sexy. We thought it was an inner-city image bike, but Triumph encouraged us to ride and rate the bike as adventure mount. Hmm.

This bike was one of the most interesting we’d ridden in quite a while. The six rider modes, TFT instrument bank combined with a 1960s look would make a wheat-shot-slamming environmentalist’s man-bun wilt with desire. It’s even a twin-shocker.

But those two shocks are Öhlins.
