Hi, Mark, I was waiting for you to review this bike. I have the same height and inseam, as you, and wanted to see you on it, before traveling 300 km to the dealer, for a test ride. Now you got me into a dilemma, as I had to add this bike on my list. Many thanks.

Hi Mark, I test rode the scrambler 400x and it was brilliant. The seat height is taller at 835 mm and I was tip toeing it but as it was such a light bike did not have any problems. The side stand is tucked directly beneath the left foot rest so it was a bit of a faff locating it but otherwise it was an absolute blast. Great review 👏 👌 👍 🙌 😀.

[@peacebewu]

@@garyburton6833 I see. Thanks, just wanted to know for reference.

[@GenXPertChannel]

I got mine last week. Love it. The most difficult part is driving it gently through the break-in period. It really entices you to play with it and toss it around a bit. It's nimble, but comfortable. It will be my wife's first bike, and she will start practicing with it next week after I get the engine protection bars and windshield she requested installed. We compared against all bikes 500cc and below- and she liked the Royal Enfield Comet, but found it felt too heavy and "chunky" where this one just "felt right" when she sat on it. It's a great little bike and serves the iconic Triumph name well.

The dealer told me they have sold 32 already !! best wishes mark

[@ifrit35]

This bike wasn't really high on my list this year but I had the opportunity to test ride one a few days ago so I said why not. I was surprised in several ways. Firstly, I wasn't expecting much in terms of fit and finish from a motorcycle that cheap but it looks at least as good or even better than my Rebel 500 which is a bit more expensive. Also the engine despite being a 400 cc thumper doesn't produce much vibrations, not much unpleasant ones at least. It makes enough noise to be enjoyable and it sounds good. Suspensions are decent although I could have used some more compression damping at the front and more rebound at the rear but that's nitpicking at this price point. It doesn't seem like corners were cut at first glance and the feeling I got was that it's a well balanced machine. I'm really liking what the market has to offer these days and I'm a sucker for small motorcycle like these. I still have to cross a few test ride off my list before making a decision on what to buy this year but this one is a strong contender.

[@gorrdd]

Mark, I always enjoy your enthusiasm when a really good kit comes along at a great value. This one outshines the Royal Enfield 450 Himalayan. Thanks, Gord

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks Gord...this is a great little machine... triumph have made a winner here Best wishes mark

[@gorrdd]

@@markpulling12 Everyone likes this bike and there are virtually no negatives. I kind expect that out of Triumph... but this one is made in India. I didn't think India could produce this level of quality. At the same time, the design of this bike hits the sweet spot on virtually every single point. It's really remarkable. And that the India production has pulled this off in it's implementation and fabrication, for the price, is quite amazing... actually unbelievable. I agree that these two bikes, the 400 Scrambler and Speed 400, are Triumph's most important bikes ever made. Experienced riders are coming to realize that the lower powered offerings are offering a different kind of enjoyment. The feeling of being more connected to the bike adds a whole level of enjoyment that is missing on more powerful bikes. Some bikes feel so powerful that you get a kind of disconnect when pushing it to it's performance potential. The thrill is definitely there but at the cost of feeling disconnected, through the intimidation factor. The more powerful the bike, the more you begin to feel like a flea riding a big fast beast. That creates a kind of cautious intimidating respect that really needs to be there, because of the awesome power underneath you. Once you begin to get away from that kind of overwhelming experience into a smaller lighter machine, the enjoyment of being far more connected, confident, and relaxed... sets in. Cheers, Gord

[@gorrdd]

Mark, Having viewed a few more reviews, especially those out of India, I have come to the realization that I can't compare the Speed 400 or the Scrambler 400 with the Himalayan 452. They all have a few very close similarities but they are all very different in terms of application. For instance, the new 452 Himalayan is built mostly for hard core offroad abuse with highway speed capability. The Scrambler 400 is more of a soft-road than a heavy duty off-road vehicle. And the Speed 400 is clearly an on-road commuter cruiser. They all do very well within their intended application and marginally well in alternate applications. Consequently, they can't really be compared except for their intended applications. And once you do that, you can really see and appreciate the differences. To say the Speed 400 outshines the 452 Himalayan really isn't true. Now the fit and finish of the Speed 400 outshines the 452, but that is all.😊 Gord

[@markpulling12]

@@gorrdd definitely Gord the speed 400 and scrambler 400 are in a totally different class to the new Himalayan...I should be reviewing the new Himalayan in mid march Best wishes

[@gorrdd]

@@markpulling12Mark, I guess the Scrambler 400 is more of a higher speed Baja type application. But not really heavy duty Baja, which requires allot more power like a Tenere 700 for plowing over deep sand at speed. I have watched those Aussies do that down under and it is amazing to see how they can balance on the sand at speed. Which is the secret. You have to be really moving on the sand in order to ride it without plowing and losing the control. You need great balance and reflexes just to get up to speed and then relax and hold it on balance. It takes a great deal of nerve and self control to not hurt yourself doing this. I highly doubt the Scrambler 400 has the power to do that... is my point. Which means it really isn't that much of a Baja machine. As some Indians have speculated... "So, what is a Scrambler?"🤔😉 Gord

[@andyc750]

also been waiting for you to review this and then hopefully the scrambler, it is a good looking machine and they have priced them really well, suspect we will see a fair few of them on the roads

[@neillambton4065]

Hi Mark, i tested the Speed 400 from Destination Christchurch earlier this afternoon. I have to say, i have not had so much fun on a bike since my Suzuki TS125M in the mid 70s, it was fabulous. Very light and agile, amazing handling, and a very strong torquey motor. I found pottering through Christchurch at 30 mph in 5th gear very controlled, and easy to just twist the throttle back and go with no juddering or lurching, it was superb. I tested the Scrambler 400X last week, and although pretty much the same bike, it felt far less agile with its 19" front wheel, but very stable to ride. My only critisism is they should have put span adjustable levers on it, otherwise it`s the perfect bike for about town, or even around the lanes of Dorset where i live. I ordered a Speed 400 in December, and won`t be getting it til June, it will be my retirement present to myself. Great write up Mark, and i agree with your comments, thanks for posting it.

[@markpulling12]

Hi Neil sounds great...I'm hoping to try the scrambler from Christchurch next week at some point and I guess that would be the case with the bigger front wheel on the scrambler Really enjoyed the speed 400 I will definitely get one at some point Best wishes mark

Hi mark, great review as per usual. Here’s a thought. Most people are saying this bike will dent REs sales, which I agree it will. However, I think bonneville sales may take a hit too. This bike is ideal for someone who wants more retro looks with a lighter weight and half the price! Isn’t it great we finally have some nice looking small capacity bikes to choose from?

Thanks Matt yes what with the new Himalayan 2024 is looking good 👍 And nice that triumph now sells these brilliant cheaper smaller bikes Best wishes mark

[@waynejroberts]

A great review as always Mark. I think this bike is going to take a lot of sales away from RE and it will be interesting to see what they can do with their 450 and 650 platforms in response. I believe that this is outselling everything in India at the moment and for me personally, being a big RE fan, this has put the cat amongst the pigeons for me! When the time comes later this year, I feel the Scrambler 400x will be the one for me.

I was hoping you would take it on a dual carriageway as the vibrations at high speeds are reported to be quite nasty, so anyone looking to do a bit of touring it would be a serious consideration. I would of valued your input on this, because you can’t always get a test ride in some countries. Good video as always.

[@markpulling12]

Hi Duncan I did get the revs up to 6/7 k rpm so that would be equivalent of 70 ish mph on the dual carriageway....it does vibe a bit but on the whole it's very smooth for a single cylinder.... impressive Cheers mark

[@iangibbons936]

Brilliant review,Mark what a cracking bike, how does it compare to your Hunter 350 ? Cheers Ian

[@markpulling12]

Hi Ian it's night and day difference really... everything is better ... handling braking performance lighter build quality....the hunter is very good but the speed 400 is a big step up Best wishes mark

I'm still on L plates and was initially excited when this bike was unveiled. I finally got to sit on one the other week and was surprised how small it felt, being only 5'7 too, it felt little difference to my 125cc bike and noticed the very soft suspension. The ride will make all the difference however. One question though.... Is it really necessary to have all those warning labels on the tank ? Hardly discrete but they take up all of the uppermost coloured area in the riders view. Unless they're removable of course? Otherwise a cracking looking bike.

[@markpulling12]

Yes labels are removable but they can be difficult..so sometimes you need to apply gentle heat Best wishes mark

Good review. Come on with the scrambler please.

[@markpulling12]

Will do 😃

[@aluisious]

What is the benefit of a 110 front supposed to be that outweighs the limited tire selection?

[@robinmoncrief2470]

It’s a pity it doesn’t come with a centre stand. Also a better front mudguard to keep the debris on our roads from radiator damage. Other than that it looks a great bike. A good review from Mark as usual.

You can get a fender extension from Triumph.

@@racheltaylor6578 is it too short like the pyramid ones?

[@Vegplot]

I don't think I heard som many effusive comments about this bike from various reviewers and after taking a test ride I've one on order, it's the perfect bike for me.

[@markpulling12]

Great choice 😀

[@graemetaylor629]

how long is the waiting list

[@Vegplot]

@@graemetaylor629 It seems to be 3 months at the moment but talk to your local dealer.

I rode both today. Both a great. Being 64 and riding more on bad roads, I preferred the scrambler. This may better suit shorter people who don't mind their legs bent a bit more and ride on better road surfaces though as the handling on the speed is definitely a little better. Not massive differences between the two but enough to prefer one over the other.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks for the feedback should be riding the scrambler myself soon I guess it's slower to turn in due to its 19" front wheel Cheers mark

[@stonkerontheroad9609]

@@markpulling12 It's taller, you're sit a lot higher so it's further to travel and doesn't feel as 'on rails' It's still good though and the more comfortable riding position and being less upset by poor road surfaces for me is a good compromise on the crappy Kent roads. The speed sticks better to a good surface and handles more precisely but is upset easier by poor surfaces. For me the scrambler is better for the roads I ride on. It will be interesting to see if you agree

[@markpulling12]

@@stonkerontheroad9609 thanks yes I saw it yesterday I think it looks better actually and yes saw that it's taller cheers mark

[@stonkerontheroad9609]

@@markpulling12 BTW, I also found that on the Scrambler, the foot pegs being further forward got in the way a bit when peddling the bike around in a carpark or something. The speeds being further back was better in this regard.

[@pommiegranite464]

Great little bike but I do not like the tank paintwork/design at all. Great review as usual, Mark.
