TommyTinder ◊ 2026-03-16 19:18	The Triumph Scrambler ridden by Craig Cody in Animal Kingdom from season 2 onward is a 900cc 2012 model that was custom-built specifically for the show by Roland Sands Design (RSD) as a “Hero Bike” for the character (played by Ben Robson). The show ran from 2016-2022 & was based on an Australian film of the same name. Purpose: Built specifically for the show (which ran for six seasons) Craig’s Animal Kingdom bike stands out for its minimalism and dark, no-frills aggression—more “street tough” than the retro/artistic (Dizzy) or adventure (MotoGeo) leanings of others. Designed to be an aggressive, matt blacked-out “angry” scrambler for TV—practical for stunts/chases, rugged with knobby tires, and dual exhaust routing. RSD often starts with Scrambler/Bonneville platforms for their classic air-cooled appeal, adding modern/custom flair without losing the retro roots. RSD specializes in premium CNC-machined parts, seats, exhausts, handlebar controls, and more—often for custom or flat-track/hooligan builds—so this bike was purpose-built for on-screen use rather than a catalog RSD kit bike. Actor Ben Robson even posted thanks to RSD on social media back in 2017 for “building Craig’s new toy” for the show. RSD touches (especially the tank badge and seat) are signature elements that set it apart from a stock Triumph Scrambler. Bens stunt rider in ‘AK’ was David Castillo. From auction records of the actual bike used on the show was sold in March 2026 via Iconic Motorbikes Inc for $10,700. Ben even congratulated the new owner Stuart on the X platform saying how much he enjoyed the bike whilst starring in ‘AK’. The most famous scene with the Triumph is in Season 5 Episode 8 - Gladiators. This involved the character Craig Cody, (fuelled by cocaine) riding the Triumph on a robbing spree in which he targets seven stores. One owner shoots at the fleeing Craig and the bullet punctures the exhaust guard midway along its section. In a brief respite and still hunted by the Police, Craig draws breath and fingers the bullet hole in the Triumph before making his getaway on it. In another scene (season 6 Episode 7 - Incognito) after Craig’s son Nick is kidnapped, he sets out to recruit Deran to help in rescuing him and super aggressively arrives at his brother’s bar on the Triumph. In Season 6 Episode 2 - Rise, The Triumph is seen racing along a coast road with Craigs motorcycle shop owning friend in the seat as Craig himself rides that guys bike. As the park up we can see that the Triumph has the License plate it was sold with, the 2837G5 date stamp Sept 2023. In other scenes, Smurf is seen twice in close proximity to the Triumph and Pope is seen draping his towel over the headlight as the boys go off the climb a beach tower. The RSD Triumph was used in many linking scenes, being used for the arrival and departure of Craig Cody at his Oceanside residence and for meetings with his brother, Deran who owned and drove a Scout. It was also used to checkout out possible locations for crimes on occasion. It can be seen in the driveway of the main Cody residence where Smurf lived and the family had their get togethers and notorious parties. Several different License plates were used on the Triumph over the five seasons of the show in which it was seen. In season 2 the bike displayed: 7285K4 in episode 2 - Karma. And it then had the 4281C7 plate in episode 4 - Broken Boards, as Craig speeds away from a unit where the boys are prepping for a job. In later episodes it was being ridden with 4032U7. In an even later episodes it carried the plate 2837G5 (2020) and finished the show with 2837G5 (2023). This was the plate the bike was sold with. Here are the key RSD custom parts and modifications documented: RSD tank branding/custom paint — The fuel tank features RSD branding (likely a custom badge or logo) along with a full custom blacked-out paint scheme for that aggressive, matte/dark aesthetic. RSD seat — A custom RSD-designed seat (possibly inspired by their Enzo or similar slim, ergonomic scrambler-style saddles) for better rider positioning and style. RSD throttle — RSD-branded throttle assembly for improved control and custom feel. Other notable aftermarket/RSD-influenced upgrades on this build include: • Pro Taper Contour handlebars • ASV levers • Renthal grips • Progressive Suspension shocks (for better handling and scrambler stance) • Aftermarket exhaust (likely a custom or performance pipe setup, contributing to the visible dual/side-exit routing in photos) • K&N air filters (for performance intake) • Custom brake light. • Spoked wheels. -- Last edit: 2026-04-05 18:36:29
