Nearly 3k miles on mine now. 2100 miles completed in 5 days, 6 countries on a charity ride #ridingforsausage. No major issues other than one non start fault but nothing that a cycle of the ignition didn’t cure. Not seen anything near 80mpg, but 64mpg at a constant 75-80mph using E5 which does give around an extra 20 miles to a tank. Normally circa 130 miles to a tank plus reserve but have seen 180 miles on E5. i fitted an Aftermarket Givi screen which really helped with wind protection. Does an indicated 95mph flat out on the autobahn and would say it’s punchier now it’s gone in excess of 2k miles and vibrations for a single are very very tolerable. it’s much better than the G310GS that i had previously. Handles very well and enough to deck out the pegs through spirited riding. it’s brilliant on the back roads and generally goes way better than a 400 has any right to do! Tyres are brilliant in the dry or the wet, mirrors do vibrate somewhat at speed but it’s not a major issue, for what it is it’s a brilliant bike. i’ve fitted the Triumph luggage rack and high mudguard to mine, opens up loads of luggage carrying options on the rear. all day comfy and very capable little bike, for the price, it’s really blown me away. Nice little review.

[@KennyWagner]

Thanks for the thorough feedback. I'm going to pull the trigger here soon. I just need to decide how much I want to or will be going off on the back roads. If not, the Speed will be the one for me.

[@twistandgo3414]

@@KennyWagner being taller and wanting something more utilitarian / rugged for light off road use made the scrambler an easy choice. Enjoy it, whatever your decision 👍😎😁

[@harshaldesign]

I've got one here in India. Really love riding it. Don't have the moaning cow issue on mine but the mirrors do tend to get loose if you accidentally bump into them. And, the toolbox under the seat doesn't have the right spanner for it. So make sure you carry one in your additional toolkit. I'm 5'7" and I've put 2 inch handlebar risers on it. Makes the ride a lot more comfortable for my upper back. Might wanna note that if you're on the shorter side like me. I have to tip toe though, but not a problem. I've climbed up the learning curve. Love it.

[@Alsinsin]

Got mine yesterday and clocked almost 100km in afterwork riding. Very happy. Biggest issue so far is the front light or lack thereof. That grille cast a big shadow on the road and at night it is like guessing where you are putting the front wheel. Regarding the offset fuel cap, it makes total sense. When you are at the gas station with the bike on the side stand, the cap is at the highest point, and it makes it easier to fill up the tank.

[@motorsforthemasses]

Great points, thank you.

[@lionelsawyer1222]

Agree with the grille issue. I am waiting and constantly looking for a clear headlight protector that will fit this bike. My wife likes the look of the grille, but I want functionality!!

I have one, bloody love it, don’t give a monkeys about it being built in India. Believe it or not, its great quality

[@leeinwis]

The Monkey is a Honda...sorry i'll show myself out .

[@0HARE]

thanks for a great review. I really enjoyed it. I recently purchased a ‘24 Triumph 1200xe. At the dealership, there was a Triumph Scrambler 400X. I wanted to take it out for a spin, but it didn’t happen. Garage space seems to be the limiting factor with motorcycle enthusiasts. We always want another bike, without getting rid of the current ones. Happy Trails!

[@gordonyoung3668]

My Black one has just been dispatched from the factory, should be in the saddle next week. I absolutely loved the test ride, chopped my tribute black 500 for it.

[@lionelsawyer1222]

I have had mine for 401km - no issues so far and really like riding this bike!! And it is a very pretty bike!!!

[@johannesmarg6903]

Two weeks to go for my khaki green one….cannot wait! Thanks for your straight review, love those small nice country roads….

[@yakusukluTZ]

Sir, great video thank you so much!! I have a question to you. I am so confused which one I should buy, please help me :) When you consider things like engine quality and durability, material quality, design, performance/price, which bike would you buy? CF MOTO CLX 700 Heritage, Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, TRIUMPH 400X, Kawasaki Eliminator 500, Moto Morini Seiemmezzo and Benda Chinchilla 500.

[@waynesmith537]

Great review on the triumph scrambler i recently returned to biking after many years I’m 66 and got a Honda monkey for nipping around the village in Cornwall but I do miss the power of a bigger bike this bike would be great for me I couldn’t believe the power of a single 400 great price good handling I think I’ll book a test ride on one all the best to you.

[@Skilpadjie1]

Getting mine Tuesday latest unless dealership finished on Monday.

[@nandadityaswami7452]

Over a month now and it's such an amazing bike to live with Day in day out it's just perfect the only little worry was the heat but can't complain much when the ambient temperature is near 50 degrees Celsius Amazing bike city highway and mild off roading Buy one and you'll keep falling in love over and over again

[@Fractal379]

Great timing this video, thanks very much!

[@ahmedawad563]

Thank you for the review. I own a Scrambler 400X, and have done my first 1,000 Km on it now. I love it. One thing I noticed though, is that at low speeds - anything below 40 Km/hr - the motorcycle exhibits some jerkiness. It doesn't matter which gear I am on. And this happens on perfectly flat, smooth road surfaces while keeping a steady throttle. It does not go smoothly, but rather continuous back-and-forth jerking, and the slower you go, the more noticeable it is. Is this normal? I am looking for feedback from people who own the bike. Is this a normal single-cylinder behavior, or is there something wrong with my bike? Thank you.

[@pjn934]

I think it's a characteristic of the ride by wire and EFI. It does it on mine too. I have a KTM 890 Adventure R and it's as smooth as silk. It must be the way the fueling is calibrated, maybe the aftermarket will release a dongle or Triumph do a reflash to fix.

[@amitanandmishra9558]

I have one with me really awesome bike. So fun to drive. I love my bike. Can ride on any road like hills, off road , city, highway. 1800 km written zero issues. I feel engine is very high quality.❤❤❤❤

[@remarkableflooty7476]

4:20 I thought the very first service is after 1000 km, isn't it ?

[@alecrenwick7351]

Love it. Great review. I've got the very same bike, had it a few weeks. The only downside for me is 1st and 2nd gearing, perhaps another tooth or two on the front sprocket might improve it but, who knows? After all it is a scrambler! Thanks again.

[@toddbates5359]

Seriously looking at one of these! Never owned a Triumph, Harley's, Yamahas, Kawi's, Buells, and a Suzuki.

[@guzziremy]

What would you rather have the Triumph 400x Scrambler or Moto Morini 6 1/2 SCR Scrambler. My last thumper was a BMW 650 GS Dakar but after being run off of the highway a couple to times my rule of thumb became 60 hp and dual front brakes.

[@motorsforthemasses]

Hmm, that's a tricky one. I do love that Moto Morini. I think it looks better, great engine, ugly exhaust. If the exhaust was better, the Moto Morini for me. However the Triumph's lightness is a major bonus mixed with that torque.

[@Aitch412]

Cracking little bike, loads of fun, enough power for sh*ts and giggles and frugal to boot... and it looks ace... loving it...👍😎

[@Thegeordiemonkey]

I will test both 400s soon as its right up my street but found the speed more comfy just sitting on them, rumours suggest a more premium model in the future called a Tramontana edition with odd pic online, be next year if i get one as summer will be short so dont want a new bike sitting in the garage for months until it warms up again but i intend to modify it regardless, like my bling but cannot afford to do it on the bigger models.

[@bobjohnson9597]

I got 69.6mpg during break in raving it high then low-repeat, so when I can drive it normally I do believe that I will get at least 75mpg or more with no problem.

[@paultansley3938]

Great Vid 💥

[@Trailryder42]

At 2 minutes in, you see a good example of the reported overheating of the front brake rotor, leading to it warping and needing replaced, due to the poor brake pads, wrong compound. Replacing the brake pads with EBC HH pads should be the first mod you do.

[@RenegadeMaster_]

Cannot wait to get this bike looks like fun

[@buskman3286]

The sound of that single took me back! YEP, back to the days where I couldn't afford the motorcycle(s) I wanted! No thank you. A twin as a minimum and heck, I'd much prefer a '70's Honda CB400 four!! I agree that this class/size of bike is great fun on B roads but can't come to grips with a single for regular ON-road use.

[@motorsforthemasses]

[@Steve-motorcycles]

A few build quality issue seem to be plaguing these bikes from what I am hearing. My friend’s engine cases are looking like they have been through a winter and he has never been off road. Love a look of this scrambler although it might be better getting the Fantic 500

[@motorsforthemasses]

Interesting to hear

[@robshaw2319]

I've got the Speed 400 version that I picked up in January. I've ridden it through some really awful weather and done 2.5K. The bike's finish is holding up well and it still looks new.

[@Steve-motorcycles]

@@robshaw2319 that’s reassuring,

[@Vegplot]

You may want to comment when you have one of your own. Repeating other tales leads to misleading impressions (one bad story repeated a 100 times is 100 bad stories). If you read the first hand accounts you'll find this 'plaque' is either some intermittent engine management light coming on (reasonably common), some stalling issues (rare), and difficulty in starting (rare). All of these have been addressed or are known by Triumph.

[@Steve-motorcycles]

@@Vegplot There is possibly an amount, possibly a significant number who has had issues. As these bikes have only been on the market this summer, it will be interesting to see what happens after a longer period of time. I’m sure there fine 🤔

Don't like the bike that much. But i love the reviews on this great channel 😀

If its scrambler wots it like in the dirt and mud

[@dirkdiggler5164]

Shouldn't that rear shock be better covered so it doesn't get sand blasted? I wish they made a 360 crank 500cc twin like that, with a high rise exhaust. But I don't guess that's ever going to happen.

[@dirkdiggler5164]

@@jimstenlund6017 do you own stock in Bajaj? OK, let me hip you to something, dikhed. Dirt and sand is abrasive. When it's mixed with water and flung at a high speed, it damages paint and plating.
