Triumph Scrambler 400X review - Is it the Triumph 400 to buy? | Autocar India

[@autocarindia1]

The front tyre size in the spec sheet is listed as 17 inches instead of 19 inches. The fact that the wheel is actually 19-inches has been discussed extensively in the video and the typo is regretted.

[@SSiddharthShashank]

Did I hear the handle bend after a fall? Although it's not visible in the video, can you elaborate a bit more?

[@JustAnAtheist]

At 5.6 height, will it be a big problem? I saw it tiptoed.

[@twowheeledparadox]

There is another error in your video at 04:10. The axle is offset towards the front which reduces trail but you said it increases it.

[@pranay8p]

Its alright thank you for the video❤

​@@JustAnAtheistgo for Speed 400 under 5'8"

[@adr2567]

Just rode it today, it looks much much better than the Speed400. It’s also impressive that a lot of stuff is included and the pricing is fantastic too. It’s good a nice midrange as well. The issue is it’s quite tall (I’m 5’10), it’s not got much of a low end and the mirrors didn’t seem to adjust well enough to get a nice view behind. Great bike for the price!

[@lakshman0680]

I own the Speed 400 and i'm guessing the Scrambler 400x is not going to be whole lot different to the Speed 400. While I quite enjoy riding the bike, it has been an absolute disaster till now owning one. Khivraj Triumph Chennai has been absolute rubbish as well. Valvetrain noise which Khivraj Triumph refused to acknowledge and I had to bring the roof down in the showroom, make a scene and write multiple emails to Bajaj/KTM/Triumph before they sent someone from the factory and replaced the entire head assembly - valves, guides, springs, camshafts, rocker arms and all. They were also quite clueless to the cause and have as of now not bothered to disclose the issue which seems to be prevalent on multiple engines to varying degrees though the rhetoric has been.. Do a 1000 kms and the 1st oil change will make it butter smooth. Yeah right. I was born yesterday. Some examples are smooth and refined (esp the ones put on test ride duty) and some are pure garbage and need some serious intervention like mine. Now the cone set has failed and is awaiting replacement (parts are shared with the pulsar NS, yes the part nos match). The bike was delivered with a dent on the tank (tank replaced on Day 1), the odd nuts and bolts loose (exhaust header, exhaust heat shields etc), no coolant in the reservoir, scratch on the instrument console (the buggers wipe it with the same soiled cloth they use to clean the wheels and other muck on delivery day and there were too many other problems to deal with to really fuss about this scratch on day 1), bubbling paint on the headlight rim (awaiting replacement next), bar end mirrors not torqued properly that they would keep spinning around the bar, tyre pressures set to 36PSI front and back (Reco is 26 and 33 respectively) and almost zero fuel in the tank (gauge was not showing a single bar). Talking about fuel and tank, the fuel gauge has a mind of its own. I've owned the 1st gen Caliber, Eliminator 175, Pulsar 200 2nd gen DTSi, Avenger 200 Oil Cooled, 1st gen KTM Duke 200, 2nd Gen KTM Duke 390 all from the Bajaj stable and never faced such issues either with upfront quality or the service center listening to your issues. Put a Triumph sticker on it and they believe the name overshadows crappy quality levels and even crappier service support from Khivraj Triumph Chennai. A huge no of parts are from the Bajaj stable ... yes... part nos match for a huge bunch of components. This bike is an amalgamation of the Duke, Dominar, Pulsars, Avengers and others. Nothing bad about that. Keeps cost down. But stop pretending that this has come all the way from Hinckley. They need to sort the bike out and their dealers out more before people start seeing it for what it really is. I still like the bike tho. Just wish the support was something to crow about.

[@Rahul-kp6wn]

That's a big concern for new bike total head and valve replacement. It gives the Himalayan bs3 vibes which plagued with issues.

[@abhisheksoni2980]

Bro you broke my heart.. I was soo looking forward to get this bike, but what you're describing is exactly what I'm terrified by. The problem is : i wouldn't even recognise the valve train noice and would just keep guessing why my bike failed to start one fine morning. I can't even get a waiter to replace my soup if there was a fly in it, pushing these bastards to replace the entire valve train is out of my syllabus 😂. Hard pass on this one I guess.

[@CalmCobra75]

Oh buddy that sounds like a nightmare a fellow Chennai guy who went to Khivraj and took a test ride. I want to buy the speed 400 but this servicing issue is really scary and do you know how many service centers are in Chennai and please let me know the other issues you are facing with the vehicle.

[@lakshman0680]

@@abhisheksoni2980 Stay away for now. Let the demand taper off and let them sort it out. Give it a year. It's still a great bike though. But needs a lot more work before you can call it the finished product. Mine has had the following replaced - entire head assembly, headlight, fuel tank and steering cone set as of today.

[@sanketjain9320]

​@@lakshman0680 Would really appreciate if you can share your ownership experience after a few months. Maybe replying here or if you don't mind, sharing your ID so that i can follow you? I've a question for now - You've owned multiple Bajaj/KTM bikes and have you had a smooth ownership experience with all of them? I feel KTM bikes are quite unreliable in general, and the Duke has seen a lot of issues with the engine, so wanted to know.

[@aakashbhat01]

Has the Autocar Team updated your editor? The editing of the video and the BGM is brilliant. As always the information and review is best but this change in editing is really good! Keep up the good work 😊

[@funny_lezend]

Actually BGM is but necessary in every clip, one of the reason I stopped watching other channels, they put non stop BGM in auto review videos, you can't even listen to the bike/car stock exhaust sound while they're riding, love autocar India because of simple edits with useful information

[@aakashbhat01]

@@funny_lezend Exactly! Too much of BGM and half of the Information which is required is vanished or you don't understand. The edits have come long way and I am loving this. Totally agree with you

[@srinathiyer90]

Interesting. I have booked the 400x. I am 6'3" and have been looking forward to this. But, the soft braking is concerning for me. Will do a TD and decide between this and the himalayan 452.

[@RoadRunner250]

I suppose it'll be still on par if not better than Himalayan in the braking department but time will tell.

[@rahuldinesh6337]

you can swap with the sintered pads on the speed 400

[@fateshchoudhary]

which one did you buy?

[@unnikrishnan3139]

Review from owner after using it for 9 months:- I got the first scrambler 400 x in India. It is a beautiful bike but it can also be your nightmare during monsoons. The dirt is getting accumulated near the rear wheel and showing warning lights causing trouble while riding in rain and also the dirt keeps splashing through the front and rear wheel on to the rider and the pillion rider due to poor design. I've already raised a complaint with the triumph. Let's see how soon they can address this problem.

[@trustshankar]

Awesome review as always AutocarIndia & Rishaad. I'm 6ft tall. My majority riding will be on the highway, city and very minimal off-road. I would definitely do a test ride. But what would you suggest 390x or 400x ?

[@RishaadMody1]

Suspension on this bike is definitely nicer. Engine too. 390 feels bigger, more ADV-y Try both out and see what appeals to you

[@trustshankar]

@@RishaadMody1 Sure, thanks Champ

[@davidkral7317]

Looking forward to seeing this motorcycle when it comes to the USA. Thank You for this review!

[@snjtptl5221]

Autocarindia always deliver best review out there

[@njugal]

11:30 I don’t think that, this 400X is a thread or proper competitor to the upcoming 450. Himalayan 450 is built on a completely different league, it’s more of a hardcore oriented, but this time will deliver some performances too unlike it’s predecessor. So, I don’t think RE will priced it by keeping their minds with the pricing of 400X. They will priced 450 as they always do in typical RE fashion, but people will buy it also like hot cakes. Future sales figures will tell more clear story.

[@RishaadMody1]

Similar price, similar performance. Potential buyers will consider both bikes even though they are different

[@animat126]

Very nice video as usual! ❤ Happy to see the Scrambler in such nice form. Now my Speed has rugged brother! 😂

[@houseofintent]

I wish I had this when I was motorbiking Vietnam and Thailand. This thing looks hella fun

[@inRadhaKrishnaITrust]

A great review as always Rishaad bro. Am feeling bad for RE as they have to launch the Himalayan 450 amidst lot of competition now. And am for sure it will have many of the electronic aids and other must have features missing to ensure they price it aggressively. But it would be fun because it will push the RE now which has till date been sitting in a very sweet spot without much competition. Let's wait and see. Any update on the launch date for Himalayan 450?

[@varun1036]

Nov 7....launch date informed 2 weeks ago

[@RishaadMody1]

🙏 Exciting times for sure.

[@adr2567]

If you’ve seen the recent reviews, it seems that the RE 452 is gonna be the kid to beat. Feel sorry for everyone else 😅

[@debajyotidutta007]

9:35 makes me feel like its okay to drop your bike. I did that myself twice with both new bikes and I felt bad. But now after seeing this, I feel okay and it does console me as well.

[@Varun_Vidyalink]

Waiting for Himalayan 450 comparison with this one.

[@cobalt8585]

Seriously 😂 you wana compare these two

[@DEVILS-ok9xo]

yeah im also looking fwd to that cause ihv configured the scram in their website under 3 lac ORP, lets wait for the 452's ORP. why not. tho thats an ADV and this is SCRAM

[@tazzjazz]

@@cobalt8585 people compare xpulses with dukes 🤦‍♂️, atleast this makes (some) sense.

[@aryapore3101]

Broo, that's a Scrambler right there and you're talking about a Himalayan that's an ADV not a perfect comparison. The KTM ADV world be a more apt comparo.

[@Moto-helmet]

Still... Comparison makes sense even though they have different names... Commercially speaking. Finally it's my money and both of them has similar pricing.... Makes more sense to take the more capable bike.... And therefore a comparison for pros and cons is necessary.

[@testtesting7740]

Great review. When describing the comfort level for varied heights, it would be more accurate to mention inseam length than overall rider height. Torso to leg ratios vary dramatically between riders. For example, someone can be 6 foot but only have 30-32 inch inseam which would change how they fit.

[@wokescancer.3699]

Yezdi scrambler deserves appreciation , it completely changed the game for scramblers.

[@shauryasaxena13]

How is their scrambler compared to others in the market?

[@wokescancer.3699]

@@shauryasaxena13 i haven't ridden the yezdi scrambler, but solely on looks, yezdi scrambler is the one that's closest to the Actual scrambler concept bikes, when compared to the triumph speed scrambler and Enfield scram.

[@podamaire]

Rishabh bro, I think there would be provision to switch the handlebar with the one found in Street 400, the Wide handlebar puts me off in traffic on my Duke390 as well!

[@RishaadMody1]

It should be possible, but I wouldn’t do it. The wider bar goes well with the vibe of this bike

[@AnjaneyaGaadadhaari]

Well to begin with, the aluminium handlebars would fit only for the speed 400 because it's for the street riding, But in this case you have to do some trail riding also, So for that they haven't provided those Handlebars which we get in Speed 400, So for that just like how Rishaad had his story of his bike accidentally falling over in that scenario those aluminium wouldn't be as helpful as those steel handlebars, maybe it would took the impact but if it got bent out then it won't be manageable to take it to the nearest workshop or rather to those Triumph workshop which is non existent at the moment, So in the steel handlebars if the bars do bent then it is repairable but if you want to put those aluminium bars then it would be straight up replacement, In another scenario it would be because of cost cutting if someone has the ability to purchase and install, then he could go for it but, scramblers and ADV has these types of handlebars so that you can take the bend out and continue the journey without the hassle of replacement the whole thing if you're stranded out in the middle of nowhere or some areas where Triumph service won't be avaliable or accessible, So these things would be on the fly manageable things without the complexity of those replacement parts, and the cost which comes with it's labour,

[@sanketjain9320]

How has the seat height increased from rear suspension? I think it's mostly coming from the GC - please check the GC and seat heights of both the bikes.

[@kowsikprasanthp8464]

Ground Clarence increased because of a longer suspension travel. This the longer suspension increased the seat height. Seat height is measured from the ground, not from the bottom of the chassis.

[@RishaadMody1]

GC and Seat height are both up thanks to taller tyres, bigger front wheel and more suspension travel.
