Truly Triumph, The New Scrambler 400 X!

With the new twin exhausts, two-section ribbed bench seats, Hand guards, wider bars, and larger-diameter front wheel, the Triumph Scrambler 400 X will blow your mind with its road presence!

The Build and Engine

When it comes to visual appeal, there are three unique paint schemes. The alloy wheel design, seats and grab handles give 400 X a unique design from its brother, Speed 400. The sturdier metal bash plate, headlight grille, twin barrel exhaust with black cladding, round indicators, tank grips, and step-up seat just stand out in first place. The handguards are plastic and might not be able to survive a fall.

398cc, single-cylinder, Liquid-cooled engine is powerful enough to get you going. The engine produces 39.5 BHP of power which is capable of providing a pretty good bounce.

Seating Position, Suspensions

The 32.9-inch seat is noticeably higher than the Speed 400’s 31.1-inch. The bike delivers an 835mm taller seat, higher stance, and relaxed foot position. The wheelbase has increased by 40mm. The imposing stance helps 400 X to achieve 195mm of ground clearance. The nice and wide handlebar gives enough room for every rider and every terrain.

The tyres appear different from the Speed 400 by a 100/90-19 front and 140/80-17 rear. Suspensions are finely tuned with a 43mm inverted Big Piston fork at the front and Gas mono-shock w/ external reservoir at the back. 400 X fetches a larger 320mm disc to help fight the extra inertia from the larger and mightier front wheel.

Display

You are welcomed by a semi-digital display with an analogue speedometer and an LCD for the gear position, just like the Speed 400. A fully digital display could have made more sense in this price range rather than the provided semi-digital. Switchable ABS is an added feature that is good for off-road. Traction control, ride-by-wire, and USB charging port come as standard.

Speed, Mileage, and service

With a time of 6.92s, it was just 0.2s slower from 0-100kph than the Speed. The bike returns a mileage of 34.7kpl when ridden at a steady 80kph on the highway and 28.07kpl within the city. Triumph delivers a class-leading 10,000 mile / 16,000km service interval for scrambler 400 X.

Ride Quality

At 185kg, it gives effortless maneuvering with good weight distribution and decent weight management. There’s a good amount of torque available from as low as 3,000rpm and you can easily commute even in the city at high gears. The slipper clutch provides a smooth and jerk-free gear transmission. However, there are a bit vibrations you can feel at higher rpm.

Pricing and Final Word

Priced at ` 2.63 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), which is about 30,000 more than the Speed 400, Triumph has succeeded in differentiating the Scrambler 400 X from its sibling in characteristics. it still feels like a really convincing bid as it offers you enough weapons to leverage both on- and off-roads. Triumph almost gets everything right to cater to the thrills of a young and adventurous customer whether it be with its stunning looks, specifications, or safety features.
