Triumph has gone deep into its British cultural roots for its latest limited edition special with the ultra-rare Scrambler 1200 Bond Edition, inspired by the Scrambler 1200 custom stunt bike featured in the new 2020 James Bond film, and limited to 250 models worldwide.
Based on the top spec Scrambler XE, each Bond Edition motorcycle has a unique billet riser clamp with laser-etched individual edition numbering and will be presented with a special Bond Handover Pack that includes a numbered certificate of authenticity, signed by Triumph's CEO Nick Bloor, and a premium backpack.
"Your Scrambler has come a long way since the Alt Moto Crew was preaching the gospel of simplicity, Mr. Bond!" |

The Scrambler 1200 Bond Edition has a dedicated 'scrambler tune' - the charismatic 270° firing interval ensures a smooth, linear power delivery from a slick six-speed gearbox. Evolved specifically for the Scrambler, the 1200 engine provides 89 hp at 7,400 rpm and is tuned to deliver 'high torque' off-road and on, low down and across the mid-range, with peak torque of 81.1 lb-ft at a low 3,950 rpm.
There are six rider-configurable riding modes which adjust the throttle response, ABS settings and traction control setting to suit rider preference and riding conditions: the 'Off-Road Pro' setting features enables cornering ABS and traction control - supported by an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit, developed in partnership with Continental) - to maintain optimum braking performance and automatically adapt the level of traction control, depending on the riding conditions and the lean angle.
There is keyless ignition, heated grips, cruise control, 5 volt USB charging, a unique, dedicated Scrambler chassis tailored for focused off-road capability and comfortable rider ergonomics. It has been developed in collaboration with Öhlins and uses their premium, fully adjustable twin-spring rear suspension units with piggyback reservoirs that deliver 250 mm of wheel travel and suspension capability for off-road capability and ground clearance.
Topping-off the high-specification engineering innovation, there are premium Brembo M50 radial monobloc calipers, adjustable, folding foot controls and first-in-class tubeless tyres and spoked 21-inch front wheel.
