Nice to see someone take the bike offroad, most videos so far have been dealership tests and on road only. Great video overall, i was surprised to see the low like and subscriber count after seeing the video quality and dry humour.

[@lightweightadv]

Thanks. Well, it's advertised as an all road bike, so it felt appropriate!

[@nathybaby1982]

Found your channel whilst searching for 400x reviews. As someone else said, “a fantastic British review” Subscribed!

[@lightweightadv]

Haha, thank you! Not sure how I harnessed the Britishness, but I'll try and keep it up 😂

[@nathybaby1982]

A combination between James May and James Acaster 😂

[@lightweightadv]

I'm absolutely made up with that comparison 😂

[@philipTOMPSETT]

What a fantastically British review. Thanks

[@lightweightadv]

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it 😎

Your description, "a road bike that does a little bit of trial", is a 100% description of a GS !!! I've been waiting for a proper offroad test on this bike....still waiting......

[@nathandalleave252]

I've had mine for 5 months and I've already swapped out the tires, moving up to a dual sport tire is absolutely night and day difference off road! the 400x is absolutely capable off road with the right rubber. I'd put it closer to 60/40 on road and off. it is definitely not as light as a 250 dirt bike on the trails, but it also has no problem going everywhere i used to take my 250, so win-win!

[@lightweightadv]

That's good to hear. Did yiu have to modify the mudguard?

[@nathandalleave252]

@@lightweightadv yeah i had to just take the rear tire hugger off completely, and i had to raise the front fender just a hair. the tire cleared but just barely so I feel more comfortable raising it up a bit.

[@TwoWheeledApproach]

great review it's a lovely looking bike

[@lightweightadv]

Thanks dude, it really is a good looking machine, and for £6k...

Brilliant video :) we were considering a 400x. Instead of the T7 I got dad as motivation to get back on a bike through his stage 3b/4 prostate cancer treatment. I’ve rode the Tenere a few times and the seating position isn’t quite right for dad, he really wanted one as that’s what we planned on taking to Norway on our now very changed trip. Still doing it but road based so there’s less risk to his bones. Due to meds. I’m currently in the process of looking at getting him a street scrambler 900 :) as he had a sit on one yesterday and loved the low seat height (lower than the 400x) and much lower than the T7 even lowered. Really enjoyed the review :) as someone who’s perfect idea of fun is the 1150gsa clicking the big miles over the green laning but not having space for the 1150 with our house move an downsize to Devon an that now going it’s interesting looking at bikes like the 400x that could fit through a doorway if needs be. I also ride a 1927 Norton 16H flat tanker so love the singles although my dad prefers the twins I think that’s the great thing so much for everyone. Having rejected 2x 390 Ktms riddled with issues and build quality problems the 400x is a little concerning being built in the same factory only time will tell on that but I noticed over the last few weeks on the fb groups for the 400x people’s issues keep getting deleted so that’s not a good sign. The immobilisers fault, condensation in the display, major stalling issues seem to be talked about quite a bit before it’s deleted so only time will tell on that one. Personally I think it’s epic to see more bikes at this price range it’s a shame they couldn’t have done a twin the old tr6 in the 60s was a 650 an about 166kg dry an the old t100c 500 was 152kg darn modern bikes are heavy! One quick question were your knees outta the infills towards the forks? Similar leg length to me :) keep up the brilliant work.

[@lightweightadv]

Hey, you OK? Perhaps a tiny bit. Didn't feel uncomfortable though

[@adaptableadventurerider]

@@lightweightadv thanks for the reply doing pretty good thanks all considered dads in a really amazing positive mindset hope you are well to :) just focusing on affecting the changes we can make change on bike and house move :)

[@AlexOnABoat]

I love it when someone 6' and a bit describes the seat as "moderately low". Those of us with little legs are left with our feet dangling.

[@lightweightadv]

UK average height is around 5'10"- 5'11", so it's not "tall" for UK is what I think I was trying to say. I suppose, it's all relevant 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@TheHonestBiker]

I envy your noodle legs 😂 struggled to keep it from squirming on the sand when I took it out!

[@leeinwis]

Sand is no joke, I went down yesterday from too deep of sand , even at a slower speed my off road pegs tore the F outa my leg , limping around today .

[@TheHonestBiker]

@@leeinwis eeeep! Hope you're alright now!!!

[@AlexOnABoat]

The question about a 21" front wheel - remember this is the Scrambler 400X. If we go by Triumph's model naming, then maybe there's an XE in the wings.

[@lightweightadv]

That's an excellent point....🤔

[@fauveride]

I was a t120 and scrambler 1200xe owner, they are great bikes but I'd rather buy this one for sure!

[@lightweightadv]

Ah, that's interesting. Any particular reason?

[@ed_winn]

Would love to hear your reasoning as well. I''m currently saving up for either the 1200 xe or 400x scrambler.

[@mototripperuk]

Did a test ride on the 1200X, really nice bike & I was seriously considering trading in my Tiger 900RP for it, however I managed to speak myself out of doing it, the bike was just the right height for me with it being the X version, I would definitely not say no to it in the future, great review Marc 👍

[@lightweightadv]

Thanks. I'm really keen to get on the 1200. I've enjoyed both the 400 and 900 so far

[@mototripperuk]

@@lightweightadv your gonna love the 1200, guaranteed 👍

[@geddstock]

It looks superb

[@lightweightadv]

It really does

[@logangodofcandy]

The x is kind of a slightly taller t120 with enhanced suspension

[@Roadhunter27]

1200xe or 400x for +/- 700km Road travels and medium/hard offroad?

[@aakerviken]

What kind of tailtidy is it? Looks really great. Great review btw!

[@lightweightadv]

Thanks. I'm not sure, it was fitted at the dealership, sorry.

[@BugMotoChannel]

The first thing my wife noticed about my new Scrambler 900 was the little Triumph detail in the headlight.

[@lightweightadv]

It's pretty cool 😎

[@leeinwis]

Nice brag, pretending to not be a brag..

[@Cute_Baby_Aariz]

Is seat height adjustable??

[@lightweightadv]

No, I don't think it is 🤔

[@dimbeswardas948]

Its manufacturing by bajaj thats why it is cheaper

[@lightweightadv]

Yep, the quality seems absolutely great 😎

[@nigelfreeman4764]

This is not a moderately low motorcycle.

[@lightweightadv]

Depends who sits on it. It was to me.
