Triumph Scrambler 400 X Review | Here's How the Scrambler 400 is Better Than RE Himalayan | BikeWale

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Would you buy the #TriumphScrambler400X over the #RoyalEnfieldHimalayan and the #KTM390Adventure? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

[@soleview]

You are comparing it with RE 411 , especially in the time when RE 452 is getting launched on 7th Nov, as per News.. And mentioning in the Thumbnail that don't buy Himalayan.. Didn't get the Point..

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

@@soleview Yes. That’s because we are yet to test the Himalayan 452, and we can’t comment in it until we ride it.

[@neosmith166]

NO CUZ Thats just crazy. And anyone who subscribes to alluding a scrambler with new ADV from RE is just talking through their hat.

[@neosmith166]

@@soleview Its just dumb clickbait. They don't say Scram 411.

[@neosmith166]

@@BikeWaleOfficial Then mention as such. You are simply intentionally taking advantage that the RE scram 411 is also called himalayan scram 411. Your title is misleading.

[@maximusdecimusmeridius]

Comparing this with Himalayan 411 especially when the new 450 will be out in 2 weeks doesn’t feel right!

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

That’s because we are yet to test the Himalayan 452, and we can’t comment in it until we ride it.

[@soleview]

Correct

[@shane74558]

I believe they would have had an embargo because if you notice all the reviews rolled out today at 10 am

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

@@shane74558 Yes, there was an embargo till 10am today.

[@abhishekdanej]

Even if Himalayan 450 comes out.. It would have similar power figures and more weight. Triumph quality, fit, finish and durability would be higher than RE, that is given.

[@Jonathan-L]

A big thumbs up to have the Triumph Scrambler 400 available in the market. It looks good, the specs are nice, the price is reasonable and there's a good dealer network spread around many places on the third rock from the sun. Did I mention that I really love the styling of this bike? And I see that it even includes a step ladder on the left hand side for the passenger to climb onto the bike. I can't imagine spending any money to improve this bike, as it seems to have everything from the factory. Well done Bajaj Auto, it's a great bike!

[@chinmaychiplunkar]

Comparing it to the Himalayan is incorrect in the first place. This is a Scrambler not an Enduro Tourer. Technically Triumph has found a niche here. Scram 411 is Air Cooled and though Yezdi Scrambler is Liquid Cooled it is 350cc. When and if the Triumph Tiger 400 is launched then a direct comparison with the new Himalayan is a must. Scrambling is also a mountaineering term which means climbing a hill using all four limbs with difficulty. A Scrambler is basically a middle ground which can offer the best of both worlds, but is not dedicated for one particular thing. Yes it is damn fun to ride though.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

We haven’t done a full comparison. Just told you about the aspects where the Scrambler is better than the Himalayan 411.

[@twowheeledparadox]

A gentler rake is what you need like 27 degrees from vertical. Something like 23-25 degrees from vertical is better suited for sport bikes. The 19" front would offset that by increasing the trail. Also, a forward offset of the axle reduces trail. You said it increases it. In terms of suspension travel, this bike is closer to the 390 Duke than the 390 Adventure. It's even farther from the Himalayan.

[@JinSakai_Kuroudo]

missed opportunity ! The bajaj Triumph guys should have given the bike to Itchy Boots when she came to India instead of the new Himalayan !!!

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Ok

[@martyn_g]

Not sure about that. The Himalayan would have more ground clearance, 21” front, and more suspension travel. They’re aimed at different markets. The 400X is aimed at the Scram 411 market.

[@roadsridesandbeyond6502]

You should compare with scram 411 and not himalayan. scram weighs the same and it has 40 mm more suspension travel. its not comparable in terms of power and torque specs but you compared with himalayan in the first place so..

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

We haven’t done a full comparison. We have only mentioned in which areas the Scrambler 400 is better than the Himalayan 411.

[@Anjuraj]

Great information as usual always. Thanks. Also Vikrant .. need your take or your point of view on new Tata safari and Harrier.

[@funnyleone4956]

Not accessible for all avg indians due to price and seat height

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Fair point.

[@iamshadmirza]

So confused, I mostly have to ride in city with ocassional offroad. Speed makes sense but damn the looks of Scrambler is so good.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

The Scrambler 400 X is a versatile motorcycle. The Speed 400 is a city-only bike.

[@fredcredaz459]

I like the shooting and speech. With a 400cc, nice, fast and reliable like the Triumph scrambler you can play enough and have fun. I plan to buy this bike. I regret there's no back luggage plate but you can buy one on after market accessories (beware the quality on some, only 7kg of luggage allowed).

[@amanjotsingh2812]

It will be easy kill for Himalayan 452!

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Let’s wait for the Himalayan 452 to be launched. We will know that once we test it.

[@neosmith166]

It is foolish to even compare the Himalayan 452 with the scrambler. They are NOT even in the same category. These media outlets who do are just stoking wrong info. Can the scrambler go off road? Yes BUT light off road only. The Himalayan 452 is further stress tested in leh ladakh and i am sure in worse conditions and will come with spoke tubeless tyres and the color integrated navigation. And shall be built to accommodate offroad panniers and other accessories.

[@neosmith166]

Your title is misleading if you mention its for Scram 411.

[@amanjotsingh2812]

U knw wt bajaj pays well for the jobs

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

We can’t compare it with the Himalayan 452 until we test that bike. Plus, we have done a full comparison with the Himalayan 411. We have only spoken about the areas where the Scrambler is better than the Himalayan 411.

[@martyn_g]

@neosmith166 - spot on.

[@VishnuVardhan-fl8xy]

Hi can you suggest a bike between Harley x440 and Triumph scrambler400. Primary usage is city commuting and occasional long touring.

[@foodie_rider]

As per ur usage, go with any bike but don’t dare take HD on trails. Although on highways, Scrambler will beat HD in speed but comfort level is somewhat same in both.

[@abhishekrao8418]

Let’s keep it short. Winner amongst KTM ADV STD 390 vs Scrambler X? Apart from pricing factor.

[@brendonfernandes2877]

Ride both bikes and tell us what you think.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

The Scrambler 400 X is a versatile bike. It offers good tractability and linear power delivery. It is better than 390 Adv for going on mild off road trails. The 390 Adventure is a good tourer. Not so good at off-road riding and slow-speed tractability isn’t very good either.

[@neosmith166]

Misleading title - Change that to either Himalayan 411 or scram 411. What is YOUR plan when the Himalayan 452 launches? Take down this video??

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Nope

[@gaikwad24]

Always baised verses the indian brands seems bikewaale have allergy to indian brands

Beautiful bike!!! As a 50 years old beginner (1,82 cm high with 110kg weight) looking for his first bike, love this scrambler!!! Will do 70% commuting (town, work etc..) and 30% touring... Do you thing that bike can do some light touring? Thanx and regards from far away Serbia :)

[@foodie_rider]

Do literally anything. Not for hardcore adventurers but still 40% of any ADV bike we can say. But its a Jack of all trades.

[@KannanBalasubramanian-y7x]

Wonderful Review @bikewaleofficial 👍 ...Thought the swingarm is longer in scrambler compared to speed

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Nope. It’s identical. The trail has been increased by 6mm.

[@wagh_tiger]

I really like these kinds of actual detailed videos.. Rather than RE Spied footage.. Thank you Triumph! for the actual bike launch without any spied footage 👍

Hi, Vikrant Sir..........I can't afford the Triumph Scrambler 400 X...........but I'm planning to buy the Kawasaki W175 & convert it to as a Scrmbler......need modification details from your side, my planning is to make it as simple as possible, like 19 Inch front wheel & just replacing the front & rear Bumper........need your valuable suggestions

[@brendonfernandes2877]

You need to find a good custom workshop. Abroad the W175 is modified a lot due to its simple electronics and reliable engine

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

The W175 will be grossly underpowered to use it as a scrambler.

[@karacerept]

How's the seat? Is it too soft or firm for long hours at the saddle? Does the headlight grill come as standard?

[@kaestamos128]

Yes, come as standard. The haters ❤😂

[@tombombadilofficial]

Can you install lowering links on it like on the Himalayan?

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Not officially. But, via aftermarket you may.

How is the seat height for 167 cm height 5.5 feet

[@hiteshjadhav6624]

Hold my beer, Himalayan 452 going to kill this very soon

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Ok

[@daweshorizon]

The Triumph Scrambler is not a serious adventure bike; more for urban posing I reckon. The tyres are road-biased, the front wheel is too small to cope with muddy gullys and big rocks. The rider's seat looks a bit small and unforgiving, and heaven help the pillion! Looks positively painful. The front mudguard is too close to the wheel, it will clog at the slightest bit of mud. The bash-plate looks a bit flimsy and what about engine bars? Also, if you want to take it anywhere, where is the luggage equipment going? I can envisage the new 400 Triumph 'scrambling' for a parking space on Camden High Street, but I reckon it will be a rare sight on anything more than a slightly bumpy farm track. It looks to me that Triumph want to get into the booming market for mid-capacity, affordable and everday usable bikes, and cash-in on the burgeoning Adventure bike trend that's going on. Fair play. I just think that the new 400 is a bit of a cop-out for Triumph. John Bloor has done a monumentally good job of reviving the Triumph brand following the whimpering decline of the Meriden days ( I've got one of those). Triumph is now back as a World player on the motorcycle scene. That makes me very happy. Thank you John. However, the new 400 range looks like a compromise made in purgatory; it's neither one thing or the other. One frame, one engine the only differences being the suspension and cometics. I'm going to keep an open mind, I will test ride a Scrambler when I get the opportunity. I think Triumph will sell a whole shed-loads of these bikes, that would be good. However, I don't think it will threaten the market share of the RE Himalyan. Let's wait and see! Take care, love and peace.

[@9870101976]

Great content! Also would be grateful if you can tell us where was this video shot...i can make out some of the hills in the background...but more info would be much appreciated. Always on the lookout for new trails! 😌

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Somewhere at the Tamhini ghat.

[@saromoments]

what about engine temperature ?

[@ianhalliwell8604]

I looked closely at the new Triumph 400 and it was clear to me the whole bike, especially the front forks have been built down to a price. The Himalayan was built to a much higher standard and although I've only seen press pictures I bet the Honda 400 will also be in a different class.

[@narasimhakonapur8303]

Honda 400 ? Is it released or yet to release??

[@downtohills883]

It will completely flopped due to high price, it can be little bit high to speed 400

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Yes, the price is slightly higher. We expected a special introductory pricing from Triumph.

[@vilaskulkarni3147]

The price seems to be around Rs 10000 from the expected levels. But if someone is really serious on owning a good, proven and allrounder comsidering maneuvering in city driving, long rides and fairly good offroading, one shouldn't get too serious about this price differential (leaving it to indivisual choices, of course)

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

@@vilaskulkarni3147 well said sir.

[@bilwaraj]

What about the comfort for back seater in long journey situations

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

We have tested the pillion seat comfort yet, but the seat looks average sized. It may be good for shorter commutes or weekend rides, but may feel inadequate for touring.

[@AwsteUnfiltered]

am not impressed with triumph's service and verbal communication, even for 2.93 lakhs i paid they didnt gave helmets, before getting the new bike, it was all covered in dust. triumph india is sh*t here.

[@Fahrenheat]

Sorry if I have missed the bit, but are the handlbars taller than speed 400?

[@rxj13]

Yes i suppose. It has 19" front wheels.

[@zeppast]

The 400X is basically a street bike trying to wear light ADV clothes. The Himi 411 is a scramber that's actually derived from an ADV platform. If you want to do any real dirt riding with anything slightely technical the 400X is going to show it's limits especially with it's limited suspention travel. That being said the 400X makes a better road bike then the 411 and the Himi hand's down but if all of your riding centers on the dirt the 411 and the Himi will do a better job in my opinion.

[@CharandeepSingh-r5c]

Everything's good except for that Everest sized seat height 😢

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Hahaha. It should be manageable.

[@eliut6855]

triumph is doing exactly the same as BMW g310gs, it’s a TVS made in india. I own a himalayan and it’s good cheap and made in india same as the bike you are presenting.

[@peplegal8253]

Hmmm...An indian guy speaking in clear english...also being very concise and objective. That's rare. For me...Speed 400 is the only option. I'm a small person (1,70 mt)...Probably only my toes would touch the ground. Looking forward to those beauties coming to Brazil (in January they promised).

[@billwiley7216]

Triumph dropped the ball in going with the cast wheels instead of spoked wheels on the "off road oriented model. And what is up with that hideous metal grill grate guard on the left side of the rear wheel? Also with the smaller front sprocket how is the highway cruising ability and comfortable speed? Does it buzz you to death through the handlebars or footpegs at higher speeds? Overall I like the styling but still think they could do better.

Great review. This bike will be a huge success for Triumph. Very sharp midsized bike. It definitely has the looks and technology with its liquid cooled engine and 6 speed transmission. The mag wheel are a great extra too. That likely allows for tubeless tires. Back in the early 70's I owned and rode an air cooled, single cylinder, Triumph Trophy 250. It was old technology and leaked a lot of oil but it didn't prevent me from having a whole lot of fun riding it. It was a pretty bike in its day. I think I still have the original owners manual for that bike. This new model Scrambler is light years ahead of that old 250. It is great to see Triumph bring back the smaller Scrambler. I have always been a Scrambler fan. I currently own and ride a Yamaha SCR950. The Scrambler has always been a really great multipurpose machine.
