Triumph Scrambler 400 X First Ride | Who Should Buy It, Who Shouldn't?

[@rishabhkaushik2468]

20 min biased video for speed 400, I appreciate your analysis but its totally wrong for this bike! kudos to triumph they have given a complete bike for Indian roads though people who don't tour won't go for this and if it looks big and feel heavy then definitely it includes something strong inside for which it is 30k extra, I own 390 adv and I know riding it in lower gear is very difficult or not every time a person is looking for a pace so here we are getting everything top speed, lower revs, a good looking bike which KTM and Himalyan failed to deliver If you want to compare it.......compare it with other brands those who have the same purpose but failed to deliver everything like this

[@motoroids]

Well, I genuinely believe that the Speed is a more accomplished motorcycle overall. It was, therefore important to spell out the differences. I have no reason to have any bias. And I have also very clearly spelled out the users for whom the Scrambler is more suited

[@ritickgupta9160]

Now this is called a review for the end user. Crystal clear. Conceptual difference well explained.

Thanks 😊

[@billesbacon]

Excellent review and has helped me in my decision.

[@Motoristika]

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 :)

[@motoroids]

Love from India! It can do some touring for sure

[@pravinmurthy]

Thanks for bringing out the difference of this bike with Speed 400 Amit!!.. It will definitely not be as good as Speed in acceleration or handling or cornering or braking!!.. I knew this already & henced picked Speed 400 2 months ago already 🤷‍♀️

[@motoroids]

Great choice. Congratulations

[@crazybikinifighter]

Wow its a scrambler and 1st half max of the time you spoke about cornering ability woww😂

[@saurabhkori9554]

Which is Better? Dominar 400 or Scrambler 400X It has been a dream of mine to purchase Dominar400 since the touring addition came out! But now I'm confused Please help

[@motoroids]

Triumph is better

[@FirePhoenix1701]

I face the exact same dilemma. In 2017, when both FZ25 and Dominar 400 were new to the market, I went for FZ25 after a lot of contemplation. Now, I face the same dilemma in choosing between Dominar 400 and Scrambler 400X. Dominar: Positives: Better headlights, better wind shield (would certainly prevent a lot of windblast, no doubt). I will certainly be able to flat-foot at stops. Pillion seat with seat rest looks like a much safer option. Although service quality may be an issue according to various reviews, they have still got plenty of service centers everywhere. We have kind of minimum guarantee. Negatives: Suspension (only if we compare with Scrambler), complaint about the turning radius (people saying it is difficult to maneuver, especially at low speeds and all). Scrambler: Positives: (As per reviews)..Better suspension, good sitting posture. Better torque. Looks amazing. More flickable/agile than Dominar based on various reviews. Negatives: Service center availability is a cause of concern. Not sure how much wind blast do we have to face on the highway. I have seen Dominar comfortably doing high speeds in the range of 120 kmph. Can the Scrambler do the same without much vibrations? As someone who is just over 5'9, I am not sure about flat-footing on the Scrambler. I need to test ride both before making the final decision. It is going to be another long contemplation for me I believe 😂

[@osomiyadeka270]

RE Guerilla or Triumph scrambler for high speed stability? How much it is different

[@logicalindian_777]

I find this review a little absurd, scrambler is a different kind of motorcycle and speed 400 is different, why do much comparison?

[@ajjuazharx]

Great review. Well articulated and detailed, especially the difference between speed 400 and this scrambler. Although they are two different kind of bikes altogether. A lot of us wanted to know what has actually been changed and what are the differences. Kudos..! Appreciate your work..!

[@motoroids]

Thanks

[@Arjun-zv1fo]

This review is solely like a comparison video with the speed instead of really looking into the versatility of it. Brakes are blunt for a reason, low end torque is more for off road, etc. And the maneuvering and riding ergonomics are top notch. I feel the review missed out on the basic purpose of this bike. All the other reviews stated that the suspension is a bit too soft but here it is said as stiff, so it's questionable? Could have added more points on the rev bands and the power delivery on each gear, missed the tractability of the engine where it can go low speeds with high gears without any knocking. On a first glance the review looks like the bike is non par but what I think what you are actually doing is comparing it solely with speed 400 and nothing else.

[@motoroids]

The information you have required is right there in the video.

the best and most honest review of this bike... AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[@motoroids]

[@dag681]

Needs 50/50 tires. My riding is about that.

[@kennethbavisi8969]

Very well presented review. Covered almost all the aspects in detail. I am confused between the Triumph Scrambler 400 and the KTM Adventure 390 X as both are around the same price bracket and. Need a do it all bike for both city riding as well as long distance touring for long term. Which one would be better amongst these 2 for a single Bike garage ?

[@motoroids]

Wait for the new KTM Adv

[@kennethbavisi8969]

​@@motoroidsThanks for the reply but there's still a lot of time for the new Adv 390 to launch, probably in late 2024 or early 2025. I don't want to wait that long and would be purchasing/booking by this year end. So kindly suggest which one I should go for ?

[@AbhishekAjithkumar3]

hi what would you suggest CB350RS OR SCRAMBLER 400X for major city travel and occasional touring?

[@motoroids]

CB350 is easier to ride and relaxed

[@drd3816]

Nice review thanks! Would you care to comment on engine vibrations over 100km/hr--i hear conflicting views on this. I am looking to use this bike for a touring bike.cheers

[@motoroids]

It’s within tolerable limits

[@subhasismishra5001]

Most of the points mentioned by you are completely opposite to what many others have said. I am now confused about whom to trust and whom to not. A simple test ride would not help. Any suggestions are welcome. :)

[@parthapradipdas1656]

Should I wait for RE 452 or book this... Understand that boht machines have different philosophy but as Indian... Value for Money is utmost...

[@vibhupande]

Thank you. Very detailed and well presented. I scrolled through all your videos and found that the Suzuki Vstrom review never happened. Perhaps now is a good time, comparing these two on mountain touring front esp low end performance, pillion and luggage, and how the engine differences matter. The Vstrom is what I'm eyeing if this seems short of expectations.

[@motoroids]

I did the Vstrom. Check again please

[@motoroids]

Vstrom is a great bike IMHO, you can buy it

[@vibhupande]

@@motoroids You mean a review of the vstrom SX250? Can't find it... just the preview video abt the sx250 is there on your channel.

[@manix96]

The seat height is going to be deal breaker for many people whose are below 5.7'

[@motoroids]

That’s true

[@user-rf9me7xm1w]

Yes, you’re right, this is yet another bike which is unsuitable for me.

[@pravinmurthy]

Theres a reason why bigger Triumph Scramblers are nowhere as successful in sales globally when compared to Speeds!.. The Scramblers are neither great handlers nor great offroaders..

[@motoroids]

True

[@random.random]

Scramblers are not meant to ride aggressive on corners nor do serious offroads. They are used to travel on rough roads fast.

[@billesbacon]

I am looking forward to mine arriving in the states this January.

[@myselfyuvi]

How come the engine braking is more agressive? What has changed here?!

[@azizulzulzaha]

I want proper scrambler exhaust on it

[@86adilshaikh66]

Which color did u like the most

[@motoroids]

Khaki

[@86adilshaikh66]

Okay

[@sathishm1234]

6ft3 Guy, no off roading, few tours and daily commute. Speed vs scrambler which one to go far?. For most parts speed fits very well, only height is holding me from speed (may i should ignore?).

[@aundzousa]

scrambler for sure, I m of same height test ride both, scrambler is way ahead for our height and easy to ride

[@navaneethaprabhu4828]

How is the brake Can i live with it right.......a person who is upgrading fron 160 cc bike looking to discover long ride and off roading and using it for regular city commute will this work or should I wait for himalayan

[@motoroids]

This is a decent bike. Himalayan can be better, but from the looks of it, it won't be as versatile as this

[@phoenixyt2886]

What’s the milage on city roads?

[@md.farooqpeerzade2717]

Is itworth spending over speed a 30 to 40 thousand, for just better road presence.........

[@motoroids]

If it matters to you, then yes

[@adithya4212]

Would changing both tyres to softer rubber increase cornering capability and make it more flickable?

[@motoroids]

Will increase the corner capability marginally, but won't make it more flickable

[@ASKME2DAY]

You ruined the bike review. This is more of an off-road bike and less of a road bike. That's why it carries the required equipment. But you are comparing it with Speed 400 as if they both are the same category bikes. Very poor analysis.. U should have been the person who appreciates both the bikes the way they are equipped for 2 different purposes but u failed..

[@motoroids]

This is NOT an off road bike. It can do a bit of off roading

[@vilaskulkarni3147]

I agree with you, the audience! I fail to understand the dominant review towards speed 400 even while testing this bike!! How can you test the bike objectively if you are carrying biased hangover from the beginning?? This is an all-purpose, allrounder bike and not a street or aggressive bike. It's not meant to be so. You know that street 400 can't go for even slight offroading because it's not built or designed for it. This bike holds the middle path and covers large parts of requirements from two divergent spectrums of bikes. I won't compare it with Himalayan 452 because the aim, the purpose of bikes is different. This bike should be opted for by those who are looking for an allrounder bike with fairly good stability, performance, and good build quality. That's it. You know why the breaks in this bike are progressively applied because they also cover offroading aspects of the travel. Sharp breaking on offroad patches may lead to sudden accidents. I really despised your oft repeated c9mment that "it's not as sharp or as confidence giving bike on corners" because it's not meant for that. I won't even look at street 400 because I am not looking for a street bike, but I can make a choice between Srcram 400x and Himalayan 452 because I am looking for touring aspects in the bike. I have been l9ng touring on bikes for more than 3 decades, starting with Yezdi 250 of 1974 make and the last bike with me being Himalayan 411 of 2018 make. I have not come across such an analysis with a preconceived mindset that wants everything like street 400😳🫤🤨 Please take the review objectively, taking into account the aim of the manufacturer about fitting that machine along some defined purpose and scope! I feel that 19"-17" tyre structure would strike a beautiful balance between agility, manoeuvrability, good ground clearance, and fairly good ability for soft offroading. It serves multiple purposes for the rider.

[@toufiqahmedshaikh]

Very true! I was wondering the whole video why speed is being mentioned so many times.
