Triumph Scrambler 1200 Bond Edition revealed

‘No Time To Die’ – the 25th James Bond film – has had its release date delayed until at least November, for obvious social-distancing reasons. Nevertheless, fans of the franchise can already order a special Triumph motorcycle which was inspired by the movie’s bike scenes.

The appropriately-named Scrambler 1200 Bond Edition is based on the existing Scrambler 1200 XE. A dark look combines Sapphire Black paintwork, brushed foil knee pads, gold pinstripes and some prominent tank decals. Furthermore, the mudguards, swing-arm, grab rail and sump guard are among the components that gain a black anodised finish.

There are several other unique features, too. They include a stainless steel headlight grille, fog lights, a leather-covered saddle, a number board and an Arrow exhaust silencer with carbon fibre end caps. The ‘007’ motif is stamped into the lower-side panel, plus it appears on the TFT instrument display’s start-up screen.

Full LED lighting, heated handlebar grips, cruise control, traction control, keyless ignition and a USB charging point are also fitted as standard. Power comes from the usual 1,200 cc parallel-twin engine that delivers 89 bhp (66 kW / 90 PS) and 110 Nm (81 lb/ft) of peak torque via a six-speed gearbox.

Triumph intends to build just 250 examples of the Bond Edition. The UK on-the-road starting price has been set at £18,500, which is £6,200 above what a regular Scrambler 1200 XE costs. A huge premium to pay, in other words.
