Triumph was established in 1983 by John Bloor. Triumph has a long history of motorcycle manufacture, stretching back to the early twentieth century. Triumph motorbikes are popular due to their classic looks and dependable performance.

The Scrambler series, in particular, has proven popular with riders who value the robust off-road skills mixed with vintage style. The Scrambler 400X maintains this heritage by providing a new twist on a cherished classic.

Scramblers were type of bike which combined both of touring and off road abilities of bikes with good low end torque with long suspension travels and high ground clearance. Which is a great combination for daily riders who just love take their motorcycles on any type of terrain or roads.

Now, they are not adventure bikes because unlike adventure bike the look of scramblers is quite retro. Many companies have tried to make best looking scramblers with relatively good performance. But Triumph has written legacy in scrambler bike with its Triumph Scrambler 1200 and Scrambler 900. Now, they have launched Triumph Scrambler 400x and Triumph Speed 400.

The Triumph Scrambler 400X combines’ vintage motorbike styling with current performance and technology. This motorbike appeals to both antique and modern riders, with its distinct combination of flair, power, and adaptability. In this blog, we’ll look at the Scrambler 400X’s features, performance, and overall experience to see what makes it stand out in a crowded motorcycle market.

Design and Aesthetics:

The Scrambler 400X has a design that pays respect to its forebears while still embracing modern components. The Scrambler 400X’s retro-inspired style includes a distinctive tank shape, a comfy and elegant seat, and a variety of color choices that add to its vintage charm. When compared to earlier Scrambler models, the 400X stands out for its sophisticated appearance and attention to detail, making it a roadside attraction.

The design inspiration for Triumph speed 400 and Triumph Scrambler 400x is inspired from its big brothers i.e. Triumph Scrambler 1200 and Triumph Speed Twin 900. While the quality and finish levels are just top notch as compared to other bikes in its segment in our Indian market. These both bikes offer phenomenal design and finish levels.

While comparing both Triumph Scrambler 400x and Triumph Speed 400x both have certain differences in design. First, separated seats in Scrambler 400x but not in Speed 400x. Second, Exhaust is dual mouth in Scrambler 400x which kind of mimics Triumph Scrambler 900. Third, handle guards in Scrambler 400x but not in Speed 400. In real life Triumph Scrambler 400x looks slightly bigger than Triumph Speed 400x.

Engine and Performance:

The Scrambler 400X has a powerful engine that gives remarkable performance throughout a variety of terrains. The bike is powered by a 398.15cc engine liquid cooled 4 valve DOHC Single cylinder engine providing 39.5 bhp at 8000rpmand 37.5Nm torque at 6500rpm. Which provides enough power and torque for both city commuting and off-road excursions. Riders can enjoy smooth acceleration, quick handling, and a fuel-efficient ride, making the Scrambler 400X an ideal partner for any travel.

In terms of engine refinement Triumph has made its mark in 400cc segment bike and also the vibrations are very less. However, while I was driving Triumph Scrambler 400x I find it better for touring because of slightly better engine refinement compared to Triumph Speed 400.

Engine produces ample amount of torque and power for both city and highway purposes. One thing to notice is that while the engine is smooth it is also very fuel efficient as well. While riding it on highway I got average of around 32 to 35kmpl and city it was around 32 kmpl. But this also depends on riding style of rider as well.

Technology and Features:

While the Scrambler 400X pays respects to its vintage heritage, it additionally includes cutting-edge technology. The bike includes a cutting-edge instrument cluster, LED lighting, and modern safety features including ABS and adjustable riding modes. These connections ensure a safe and pleasurable ride, whether you’re navigating city streets or exploring tough landscapes.

Riding Experience:

The primary appeal of the Scrambler 400X is its riding experience. Riders have mentioned its comfy sitting, simple controls, and superb suspension, which make it ideal for extended journeys and varied terrains. The bike’s adaptability comes through, allowing for easy transitions between everyday commuting, weekend touring, and off-road adventures. In comparison, the Scrambler 400X provides a unique combination of comfort and performance that few competitors can match.

The weight management of bike is done very well. Which you may not feel in cities but while on highway or on off road this weight management feels very much crucial. While riding this bike I realised that it is an easy bike which can be easily managed while riding and can be very much fun. It do not have very aggressive engine unlike KTMs but there is no shortage for power while you ride this bike.
