FCR Original, a French workshop specialized in preparations for Royal Enfield, BMW and Triumph motorcycles, has just presented one of its latest projects which they have named Scrambler 400 “Escape”. A job that, according to the French specialist, offers us a personalized motorcycle “which perfectly illustrates the holistic vision of the modern scrambler: a simple and robust motorcycle, ready to explore new paths.”
As is usual every time they recreate a customization of this type, the development work itself gives rise to a range of specific accessories for the Triumph Scrambler 400, such as engine protectors, radiator grilles and fork protectors. Therefore, any owner of the British model can build their own custom Scrambler 400 “Escape”, selecting those accessories that best suit their tastes and needs.
Triumph Scrambler 400 “Escape” in detail
Focusing on the changes made by FCR Original on the Scrambler 400 “to venture off the beaten path” as he himself states. Furthermore, he comments that the “Scrambler 400 Escape is… a customized motorcycle that seeks to enhance its scrambler character”.
The preparation also incorporates various protection elements designed to complement the adventurous spirit of the motorcycle. Among the most notable we can highlight:
- radiator grille
- Fork protectors
- engine guard
- Chain guard
- Two exhaust silencers
- Side support kit with bag
- License plate holder with turn signals
- Mini Bates front indicators
At FCR Original they are clear when asked about the final result of their preparation thanks to using this range of accessories: “These elements improve the robustness of the Scrambler 400 while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic true to the original FCR DNA”. Furthermore, when they are invited to talk about the main philosophy on which this project is based, they state:
“Rather than radically transforming this racing bike, we chose to work on key elements to reveal its natural potential. The goal is to maintain the balance of the machine while giving it more personality.”. But this is not all, since we can improve the performance of the Scrambler 400 “Escape” if we choose to equip the exhaust system developed by them.
We also have the possibility of installing a high-performance air filter. From FCR Original they comment: “These improvements result in a deeper sound and a more expressive engine, without losing the smoothness of power delivery.” Last but not least we have a key section in any motorcycle: ergonomics.
In this case, the driving position has been simplified and optimized for use both on the road and on the track, also improving comfort and control once we get behind the controls of the Scrambler 400 “Escape”.
