Triumph Scrambler 400X - At Last, A BIG little bike that goes

The new Triumph 400 Scrambler. At last, a chance to ride the baby Triumphs. At just £5,495 I wasn’t expecting much and was very impressed with both the build quality and ride. This Triumph Scrambler 400 is perfect for us tall riders that want a smaller capacity bike. It has a real turn of speed, even if it is a bit revy and easily breaches the 90mph (I imagine). It’s light and nimble, blasts down the back roads and doesn’t get blown about on the dual carriage way. A fantastic bike I really enjoyed riding.

For years I’ve been saying that I wish bike manufacturers would make their smaller capacity bikes physically bigger. Well done Triumph!

[@TAYM]

Thanks PR 😁 yes, even back in the 70/80s as a tall teenager I wanted a bigger bike, always felt too big on the 250 and even the 550s 😁

[@richiedewen9289]

Oh I say 🧐... Marvellous review old bean! On a side note I reckon the short 1st & 2nd gearing is because its a scrambler and you'll need that shorter gearing while plugging through the mud outside the coffee shops of South London and Ipswich.. What What! 😉

[@TAYM]

😂😂😂😂 sadly quite possibly 😂😂😂 thanks Richie 😁

[@MarkLAdkins01]

I think people thought this was going to be a miniature Triumph - but it isn't! It is a full sized bike with a cc that is comparable to many other bikes. The power is adequate and the styling is very good. I saw it at the unveiling in Denver and it is very nice. I would put this up against any other bike in the segment. Thanks for making this video and giving us all a riding experience! 👍

[@TAYM]

Absolutely 😁 thanks MA 😁

[@Stefan_trekkie]

It sounds not like a 125 but like 250 short stroke to me. The rumor in the cone network is that the bike with aftermarket wind screen, fender extender and some luggage is perfect for touring UK and Ireland .. Specially good for the Scottish highlands and Suffolk winters .. I beginning to suspect that mr. TAYM has deep connections not only in the cone network and giraffe mafia but in a few bike dealers as well.. Marvelous, mr. TAYM

Unpopular opinion - i like how these small 400 make you feel you are going fast while simultaneously not in extremely dangerous speeds 😂. I like the forgiveness that comes with these bikes . Rampart acceleration gets old preety fast.

Exactly 😁 thanks Matt 😁

[@leeinwis]

If you had left the last sentence off then it wouldn't be an unpopular opinion lol. We can like rampant acceleration , but not need it in every bike .

Being of average size I took a Speed 400 out this week. Marvelous. Fits me like a glove....great ride quality and seems to do everything really well. Fantastic value. Like a modern version of my 1987 XBR with raised bars , 44 PS and less weight .....a bike that was ahead of its time in the retro market ? Brilliant bike Triumph

Another enjoyable video. I really appreciate your test ride views along with your informative comments. Im about the same height as you and always appreciate your comments regarding comfort and riding position.

My '62 pre unit 650 will not rev to ten grand but it will pull into the outside lane in 4th and accelerate from 70 to 85/90 with no problem when overtaking. I remember riding south on the M1 and a fellow rider on a CB400/4 telling me after we arrived that he had to change down and give it some throttle to keep up. More cubes big flywheel etc. The 400/4 was/is a cracking little bike and if Triumph have managed to produce the same power to weight ratio on a seemingly similar size bike then hopefully more people will enjoy the freedom of two wheels.

[@TAYM]

Absolutely 😁 great example😁 thanks S😁

[@pinkiewerewolf]

I like it! This would be just right as a lightweight do it all bike for me. The engine size is in that sweet size for a smaller bike. I had a Kawasaki KLX 300 and thought it was about 100cc short of being adequate for my area. I replaced it with the Husqvarna FE 501 S, and the power to weight ratio is awesome. But it’s a MX race bike made into a road legal dual-sport. The 400 Scrambler and the upcoming 450 Himalayan will be much more practical for what I want out of a lightweight do it all bike. Looks & Sounds Wonderful as well. 👍

[@TAYM]

Thanks BB 😁

[@billesbacon]

@@TAYM the Triumph accessories I like are the small windscreen, center tank pad, luggage rack, and the high mud guard. Not sure if upgraded seat is worth the expense, but it does look sharp. I want both the upper and lower engine bars. Still not sure if the upper one comes with the bike. The reviews from India say that it does. I still can’t get a straight answer on that. I also like the bullet style turn lights. Again not sure it’s worth the add on price. Luggage has been a big thought and I believe the Mosko Moto Reckless 80 will solve all my needs with a Triumph specific Cruz Tools kit in the Fatty Tool Roll. For Navigation I will be using the REVER App with my IPhone on a Quad lock mount.

[@TAYM]

@@billesbacon excellent 😁 sounds like you’re sorted 😁

[@PhilipBallGarry]

I like it. Bit too tall for me and Diddy Dave. I could just get the "Speed 400" instead but these look much nicer. It's a different kind of motorcycling than the Classic 350. You'll be playing with an entirely different rev band. I'll bet it'll be very similar experience to the CB300R I had a few year's ago. For this reason, it'll not work for me as I love short-shifting the J-series plodder. My time with revvy bikes has passed. But for everyone else, isn't it great that there's so much choice for us in the lower capacity market these days ?😊 Edit: You briefly found the "600 mpg" mode. Leave it in that mode, then there'll be no need for those awful EV bikes that they will insist on forcing down our fat necks 👍

[@ruahinesrider]

600mpg 🤣

[@Grumpy-Goblin]

What an absolute little beauty, I think Triumph are on to a winner with this one. I reckon you're spot on TAYM it is going to be popular with da yoof lol it doesn't look like an old man's bike. It is close enough in performance to the small KTMs that it gives a viable alternative. Obviously it is built to a price so you can see in a few areas that things are not quite at the quality level you'd get on a Bonneville or 1200 Scrambler but it all looks perfectly acceptable. I can see this making a great winter bike for many folks. Nathan The Postman has just bought one and already taken it green laning and seems quite impressed with it.

[@TAYM]

Thanks Mike 😁 yes, watched Nathan take off road too 😁

[@paulcooper5610]

Triumph have a winner on there hands 400cc with 40bhp, sorry RE you really need to find some more power in the 350's or I guess they will have to use the new 450 Himalayan engine in some of their road bikes, maybe a Hunter 450 would be good competition to the Triumph 400 speed. Hopefully RE are already looking to make it.

Morning Mr TAYM. Well done on getting an early ride on this wee beastie. Yes, a comparison against the Himi will be interesting. I would think the Himi has more low down, but the 400X is higher revving (just my thoughts). It would definitely make the perfect winter bike……but so might the Himi 450. 🤔.

[@TAYM]

Yes, it’s going to be interesting to compare the two 😁 thanks Ian 😁

[@simonbowen6653]

Definitely the better looking of the two 400 Triumphs. Inevitably going to be compared with the nice Himalayan but they are very different bikes.

Thanks SB 😁 exactly 😁

Great little bike same power as the old 2 strokes from the past, seems to pick its feet up well, a lot quicker than the RE 411s, would be great to see how it will do against the RE 450 Himi has you said. Ride safe and keep them videos coming 😊

[@melfzs]

It's a great looking bike TAYM, and sounds like a beefy version of my missus' Zontes GK125, especially as it's a revvy motor as well 😉. I fancy a test ride just to try one , but I'll be keeping my Classic 350 and just fit some K60 scout tyres for my mucky lanes riding, aka Coastrider , he's shown how good the bike and those tyre's are . Seriously though they're totally different bikes, the Classic is a true thumper , the Triumph is a bit of a buzz bomb, but it looks well 👌, Triumph have done a good job . Cheers Mel 🍻

For the money, it's very, very good really like it but had my leg over a royal Enfield 650cc meteor at north Cornwall motorcycles ( new £6495 ) so for£900 more could have one of them, but saying that for a triumph got to be good as the speed is £4995.

What a splendiferous review of the 400X just as it's about to break into the market. As you're aware I put in a very early note of interest in this bike in this exact colour. I expressed to the dealer to transfer a deposit I'd had on an Africa twin ( which they sold as I waited to make a final decision ). I got no invitation to view the bikes when they were doing the rounds and have heard nothing since. Needless to say I'll be paying them a visit to give them what's what 😟

[@WyreForestBiker]

For us shorty's the seat height seems a strange decision bearing in mind Triumph have seen the light and just brought out the lower 1200 X Scrambler model ... It means the only 400 Scrambler model on offer has a much taller seat than both the 900 and 1200 range has available. It sort of pitches the 400 as a "serious" off-road bike but without the usual components such as spoked wheels ? I think the way Honda offer a taller seat option on the CL500 is a much better way to cater for taller people on a bike that will mostly be used on roads. Great review TAYM as always ..I hope to get out again myself once my health is back on track👍

Nice looking little bike, always think headlight protectors are a bit gimmicky. If I was going off road I might consider one but that would be all. I’ve been biking over 40 years and never had a broken headlight or even a damaged headlight. People often say especially with higher end bikes the cost of a new headlight can be really high, I get that, however at one time I had a high end Mercedes and think the headlights that were much lower to the ground so more in the stone damage danger zone cost around £2k to £3k to replace, never crossed my mind to put some kind of protection on them.

Something of the original Triumph 'Hurricane' about the r/h side panel and the silencers, in the side profile shot.

[@TAYM]

[@clivecartey]

@@TAYM ...it's interesting, Triumph have taken design cues from the BSA Rocket 3 on the tank of the new Trident 660 and, honestly, the silencers and r/h side panel of the Triumph 400 Scrambler remind me of the Triumph Hurricane. I am afraid that I'm old enough to have owned and ridden one of the last Triumph Trident T160 Triple 750's to have come out of the factory. So, I am very familiar with the TRIUMPH and BSA Triples of that era. ( By the way, my Trident T160 was very well run-in and ran as smooth as silk on a long run, the handling was beautifully old school via Girling shock absorbers and Dunlop TT100's ).

[@5dTraveller]

Thanks Mr TAYM, perhaps the video is deceptive but that seems very quick for a 400cc bike. Definitely has the Triumph look and I can't understand why they didn't call it a Cub, maybe there'll be a retro Cub version later. Very tempting but is it worth nearly £2k more than a Hunter? I'll have to ride both to find out. Cheers, Mick

[@crumblymal8479]

Like this one TAYM it's a very good looking bike I note they seem to have taken note of the CCM tank putting what looks like dents to allow the forks to turn, but what is that cable running along the swinging arm by the brake pipe ?.The silencer looks really nice in comparison to most these days TAYM but I note you say about the throttle being a bit lurchy I am surprised Triumph haven't sorted that out since it seems to be a bit of a thing with them .On the whole though perty damned good 👌👍

Dear TAYM, I’m downsizing and like both the ninja 400 and this scrambler x. Both very different bikes but I wonder which would be a better single bike to live with year round in the UK? I think the Ninja has a better all round engine but this scrambler when I tried it was a lot of fun on small and rough roads. Just curious which you would choose between the two? Eventually I hope to have both, maybe one day 😊 Thanks for all your videos I do enjoy them. Happy Friday 😁

[@TAYM]

Both very good bikes but like you say, very different 😁 I loved the ninja when I tried it and would definitely have one. The Triumph is perhaps not so generic but it’s early days for it and then there are the triumph service costs and parts prices to consider🤔 I am not sure 🤔 if it was my only bike that I had to do everything on I might go the ninja route. But then again I do like the Triumph 🤔 sorry not much help 😂😂😂 thanks KT 😁

[@volt8684]

Hi Taym, interested in this because my first bike after my 2 stroke 250s was a cb360 twin then a cb550 4. I really loved the cb360 In lime green and first bike I took a pillion on was 39 bhp the same as this. Had the honda twin clocks and plenty of chrome which I liked. I remember thinking 40bhp is great with the weight of the bike. Went up to the 550 which was around 55bhp but 4 growl. I’d love. Ride on one of these but really think the clocks are woeful like RE and some Guzzis. All the TFT etc are nowhere near as good looking as say your bonneville and thruxton clocks. From your cockpit point of view they are just gorgeous. Still wouldn’t buy just yet give it some development time. I think these smaller cc bikes are brilliant. RE too slow for me but think the new himmy is very good looking

Well I'm a bit of a fan and think it's great to see something else entering the RE stomping ground. I'm looking forward to see if one of our nearest and dearest vloggers gets one!

[@TAYM]

Definitely not as hard as they used to be and they don’t make your tongue anywhere near as black 🤔😂😂😂 thanks Ice 😁

[@anthonybrown4874]

Hi useful comments though i have yet to come across a review thst gives me s feel for how either of the 400s would perform as a commuter bike where mpg comfort and servicing might be up the list of priorities.

[@TAYM]

Thanks AB 😁

[@briandix216]

Hi, any idea when the triumph 400 speed master is being released here in the UK. And will you be reviewing it? The bike looks good from the pics I've seen so far !

[@TAYM]

That sounds exciting😁 never even knew there was one in the pipeline 😁 I shall have a look for that 😁 thanks Brian 😁

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

The KTM 390 is a big little bike that goes. It has been out ages.

[@TAYM]

It is but feels smaller and of course has styling that is an acquired taste 😁 I did like riding the 390 and without a doubt it is a better bike for off roading 😁 thanks U 😁

[@romeldias]

More than the Himmy, RE is close to releasing the Hunter 450 and i think that is the bike this scrambler is gonna go up against!

[@richardeyers322]

now that be nice

Nice review how were the vibrations at 70mph?

[@TAYM]

Thanks D 😁 not too bad and not as bad as a 250 Vstrom I had a few years ago but it definitely gets buzzy at speeds in excess of 75 😁

[@stephenthompson6049]

Sounds like true love, Coulter SV650 be leaving the garage to manometer room?????

[@TAYM]

😂😂😂 thanks ST 😁 would love one 😁

[@svaralen]

What is the weight limit on the Triumph Scram 400x ?! I am always confused about the full load weight! Do they count the total weight of the bike + how much on the top or only the load weight without the bike?! Thanx ✌️😎

[@TAYM]

I don’t know 🤔 I guess it can only be dependent on the weakest component 🤔 good question 😁 thanks SV😁

[@adaffodil6695]

Looks like a great bike and I can see them selling loads (unless Royal Enfield bring out a Scram 450 fairly quickly ). Only thing with it is I've seen a few of the Indian reviews that say they are very thirsty. I suppose we need one of the UK moto bloggers to have one long term and report back.

[@martinowl]

Possibly the reviewers in India are comparing its consumption with a classic 350? I reckon most motorcycles will seem thirsty in comparison. Agree once some of the Independent reviewers can get some time with one, the real figures will be revealed.

[@dancarter2963]

They were comparing it with the new 450 Himalayan. The Triumph was getting 50 to 65 ish mpg and the Himalayan was getting high 60s to nearly 80 mpg. This was with the same rider who had each one for a week and rode the same routes.

[@martinowl]

Well, that does make it seem thirsty. I get better mpg from my Interceptor than that.

[@TAYM]

Thanks AD 😁 interesting 😁

[@TAYM]

I suspect it’s more to do with the way it has been ridden 😁 it does encourage the you to go on a bit 👹 and will go on to a ton 😁

[@Boppa1260]

Needs spoked wheels for me.

[@TAYM]

Thanks Boppa 😁

[@stonkerontheroad9609]

I'll have to try one of these, they look great. I am conscious that I can get a V7 stone for £6,999 though, that's only £1,400 extra isn't it? Heavier though.

[@TAYM]

Totally agree 😁 I think though that you need both 😁 keep the V7 for summer 😁 thanks SOTR😁

[@MauriceTarantulas]

Looks like a great bike! Saw nathanthepostmans review and he put it through some muddy stuff. P.s Was gonna say "little" but its not.

[@TAYM]

Thanks MT 😁 yes saw that, looks more than capable for what most of us might do 😁

[@acmdv]

The Speed 400 has a lower seat height.

[@TAYM]

Yes, plus I think it handles better 😁 thanks ACMDV 😁

[@sanjaysharma-jf8fv]

Im picking mine up in the olive green shade next week. Have the Enfields 500( in city) and the 650 for touring, so diddn really need another, but just fell in love with that quintessential English design. Had also test ridden the Hardly Davidson 440 thats available here in India and thats a peach of a machine..robust and willing... Anyway il be enjoying my Triumph as the ultimate good looking bike. But hold on...the Norton 500 in its Indian avtar..TVS Norton ..will probably be unveiled in 2025

[@TAYM]

Thanks SS 😁 yes, looking forward to see what the baby Norton comes out like 😁

[@ruahinesrider]

Older Street Triple type clock. New bikes usually always come on the softest setting.Ideal winter bike for TAYM 🦒. Those Grey Wolf 🐺 renderings of TAYM 🦒 the Giraffe 🦒 riding those bikes was fantastic wasn't it as was the Grey Wolf 🐺 one's.I think 🤔 Grey Wolf 🐺 got ideas off Icididi's artwork of TAYM 🦒 the Giraffe 🦒.

[@TAYM]

Thanks RR 😁 😂😂😂

[@davidforsdike4343]

Shame Triumph have given up on Uk manufacturing. Still think it could be viable will the right investment. Once you have lost the knowledge it is not really possible to start again. We could really regret not having any manufacturing, in the future.

[@user-rf9me7xm1w]

I quite agree but people say that, if this was manufactured in Britain, it would be twice the price. Fortunately, the design talents from Triumph have not been lost, they’ve gone to Royal Enfield.

[@TAYM]

Let’s hope they keep some manufacturing here 😁

[@SOLOMOTOUK]

With the dna filter LexTec exhaust put that screen down hill 85mph otherwise on a flat 83/4 satnav was 2 mph lower the them

[@TAYM]

So just 15-20 mph quicker🤔

[@SOLOMOTOUK]

@@TAYM the triumph that much quicker if so I’ll have to test ride one thank you taym 👍🏍️🙏

[@TAYM]

@@SOLOMOTOUK 😁

[@SOLOMOTOUK]

@@TAYM found this out. There's power for an indicated 100 mph top speed and enough torque for making safe overtakes-a solid achievement for a small single. Even on a UK motorway the 400 held its own and remained comfortable cruising at the legal limit of 70 mph

[@TAYM]

@@SOLOMOTOUK marvellous 😁 would make a great second bike for you 😁

[@tomrox8921]

Is it ok for a beginner?

I don’t see why not 😁 assuming they have passed all the statutory requirements 😁 thanks TR 😁

Brilliant 😁 thanks LT 😁

[@loki1066]

I like the bike, however... If its a Triumph and it says scrambler on it, I think it should have a high level exhaust 😉

[@TAYM]

Yes, shame they couldn’t do that 😁 I guess a limited budget prevented it😁 thanks Loki 😁

[@longjonwhite]

It won’t be long before there are some nice aftermarket pipes available for it. I never understood one cylinder, into one pipe, with two silencers?! What’s that for? Ballast?

30th😲 been out riding in Summer mesh jacket & it's primo had tea at the Patangata Pub & just got home.

[@ruahinesrider]

Handguards & the bar pad with Triumph looks great too.The 400x is gana be popular & fills a gap in the market for small to mid cc Scrambler for country lanes & gravel exploring.70mph is great NZ 🇳🇿 national speed limit is only 62mph(100kmh) ride out on main road to do some back Country exploring.

[@ruahinesrider]

Being made in India there will be a plethora of aftermarket parts for them in no time.

Great bike! But that speedo/LCD is a like a cockroach on your fish 'n chips. Such a pity since Triumph put so much work into the bike's good looks. It's the one thing you look at most often when riding and Triumph normally has stunning instruments.

Yes, I guess everything’s a compromise though🤔 it will be interesting to see if they do some slightly more premium versions 😁 thanks SH 😁
