2012 Triumph Scrambler
“The 2012 Triumph Scrambler echoes the past but is unique unto itself.”
Capturing the essence of the 1960’s sports motorcycles that were often stripped down for racing by the likes of Steve McQueen, the 2012 Triumph Scrambler echoes the past but is unique unto itself. With high mounted chrome pipes on the side and standard fork gaiters the 2012 Triumph Scrambler evokes memories of those classic Triumphs and drives riders to simpler times without sacrificing modern quality.
Triumph’s tagline for the 2012 Scrambler explains it all: "A modern interpretation of a timeless classic, the Scrambler demands attention wherever it goes." These are really cool bikes so look forward to seeing many of these on the showroom and in the parking lot at Dillon Cycles in 2012. 
The air-cooled, DOHC 865cc parallel twin fires spark at 270-degrees giving the motor it’s gratifying thumping sound, meanwhile its modern fuel injection provides flawless function and amazing fuel mileage at around 46 mpg in town, and 60 mpg on the highway. The 2012 Scrambler engine delivers plenty of midrange torque. From 2,500 rpm to redline carries 90% of the engine’s power giving smooth and consistent power delivery.
With the Scrambler’s tubular-steel cradle frame and "supple front and rear suspension" that providing 120mm of travel up front, and 106mm of travel out back there are few issues of comfort or performance on or off-road. The Nissin 2-pot caliper up front floating on a single 310mm disk backed up by an identical brake on a 255mm disk on the rear bring the 506lb machine to a nimble stop with total confidence.
Classic 36 spoke 19 inch front and 17 inch rear rims grace the 2012 Triumph Scrambler and come shod with light knobby tires. Cruising comfort on the Scrambler is further facilitated by wide handlebars and mid set footpegs set well for clearance.
