Oh my... it's a scrambler. It's not a trail bike. It is not made for jumping. It sits between a road bike and a trail bike. Scramblers are the precursors of the trail bikes. It was idealized for riding in gravel and dirt roads, it was not made for hardcore offroad. When you say it doesn't handle jumps well, you are saying the obvious. And it is not a questionable suspension. Again, it's a scrambler, not a Trail bike.

[@weirdmanrides]

Agreed 100%, stating the obvious but stating it nevertheless for those who are opting this for hardcore offroading(yes, there are people like that here since Scramblers are a relatively new segment in India).

[@gaspar9750]

Hey, Weirdo (sorry, couldn't avoid 😅), then I must say I'm sorry. Cause the way I understood, it seemed to me that you were blaming on Triumph as if the bike was crappy, based on a mis-categorization of it. Again, sorry. I get pissed with all the comparisons that put Scrambler 400X and Himalayan 450 side by side since they belong to different categories having different purposes. I understand the comparison based on a similar engine data and price. But that is not ideal since by itself comparing them makes people think they are somewhat similar. Well, that's it. Have a good one!

[@weirdmanrides]

@@gaspar9750 :) No problem. And agreed, it is very frustrating. Hardly an apple to apple comparison. The only common factor between these bikes, intentionally, are two wheels and a handlebar powered by a single cylinder engine.

[@stephengrainger7586]

I have always had heavy custom bikes I am old now just bought a Scran 400' love it

[@stephengrainger7586]

[@Nixoholic]

The fact that it looks soo cool would be the sole reason would buy it

[@weirdmanrides]

@@Nixoholic amen to that

[@maxasaurus3008]

This is great! I do want to mention that your subtitles are wrong in very important parts but the thought is nice. It’s easy to criticize someone else’s work but you did a lot right and I enjoyed it so thank you!

[@weirdmanrides]

I appreciate the feedback! It motivates me to do better. I noticed the issues later on, but had already screwed up.

[@ShubhamRajdhar]

Dude, really great narration, great editing style and direction. Amazed to that its just a small channel!

[@weirdmanrides]

@@ShubhamRajdhar thank you! Just the beginning :)

[@ocean_kaushik]

my man KNOWS how to make a video. LOVE IT my G, I've been eyeing the Scrambler 400X for a very long time now so I keep drooling at the YT videos. This by far is the best video made on this bike. Also, if you're ever in Mumbai hit me up so we can shoot some cool stuff together. Cheers!

[@weirdmanrides]

Man made my day! Thank you. I will take you up on the mumbai offer whenever i am there. Ill offer the same if you are ever travelling to pune :) happy new year!

[@weirdmanrides]

@@bikeenthusiasts8019 thank you. Your words motivate me so much.

[@narendranaramala]

Awesome footage dude..! My only concern is there is no main stand..! Did you face any problems because of it?

[@weirdmanrides]

@@narendranaramala not much, i am used to it, but besides occasional chain lube sessions, i don’t really miss it. I use a roller anyway. But if its parking you’re concerned, this thing has the most upright side stand ive ever seen.

[@narendranaramala]

@@weirdmanrides awesome. thanks for the prompt reply. Appreciate it. Happy riding and do upload more videos.

[@melange_cymek]

Instantly subbed!!! Great video man🤩

[@mr.h8516]

Which one to select between scrambler 400x and honda cb350 (classic model ) , purpose is to have one bike for all purpose., mostly city and highway rides ..plz suggest ,my height 5.6

[@weirdmanrides]

@@mr.h8516 hands down cb350. Scrambler 400x is a tall bike and in bumper to bumper traffic you will find is extremely uneasy to manoeuvre. Cb350 is a great road bike and handles well. And is much more planted than the scrambler on highways. Hope this helps

[@mr.h8516]

@@weirdmanrides thanks a lot 👍

[@maxbelho]

I think the music volume was a wee bit low… maybe next time crank it up to 11

[@weirdmanrides]

@@maxbelho you are right. I have tried to fix that in my latest videos. Would love your opinion on those ones too. Both camera and mic is upgraded too.

[@AdityaTiwari07]

Loved the video 💯

[@weirdmanrides]

Glad you liked it! 👍

[@ezze_gg]

Dude it was fun watching!

[@weirdmanrides]

@@ezze_gg glad you enjoyed it :)

[@vijithvg1795]

Himalayan or scrambler 400x ? Which one is reliable and easy on pockets?

[@weirdmanrides]

Both are not that easy on pockets. Both have low mileage and service cost isnt that different. Ill say both are equal in this regard.

[@vishakr7194]

Dude amazing narration

[@weirdmanrides]

[@bibhushanneupane1397]

Narration same like anurag salgoankar. Love it.

[@rodrap5366]

Hi from argentina. Excelent video. What about cruising at 130?

[@weirdmanrides]

Hi there! thank you and yes, you can cruise at 130. But expect significant vibrations. It kicks in at about 120kmph. You can use an aftermarket handlebar vibration dampener, might help.

[@m.s.v2794]

My height is 5.10 and I decided to buy triumph scrambler 400x which costs 3.45 onroad in Bangalore and now triumph has reduced the price of t4 to 2.64 on road. Now i got confused its nearly 1 lakh difference and I'm not hardcore rider. I ride bikes only on weekends and live in tire 3 city. Now is it good to buy t4 or scrambler which one to choose which is the best and vfm bike? Which bike you will be recommending? Price is not an issue

[@weirdmanrides]

@@m.s.v2794 T4 is the way to go my friend. T4’s tuning is much smoother than the high revving scrambler’s. Although the engines are practically the same, you will not feel much vibrations and T4 is way better in navigating through congestion and traffic. And the added bonus, it looks damn nice :) If you are not big about going offroad riding, just stick to T4.

[@m.s.v2794]

@weirdmanrides thanks a lot brother for your detailed advice 🙏🙌👍

[@dustinfernandez6611]

Sounds like a fun bike but is it worth the price. Why is the speed much cheaper than this.

[@weirdmanrides]

It is totally worth it since its priced well and the finish is just awesome, triumph made sure that the quality is at par with its big bikes. Has its own quirks but nothing significant. Speed is a road bike, this one has dual purpose capability. And the suspension is way better for bad roads. Proper triumph scrambler pedigree. Do take a test ride :)

[@andreasrau4541]

Wunderschönes Motorrad, die als Enduro, d.h. mit mehr Federweg. Mein Traum!

Astonishing video my friend! Your storytelling skills widely surpasses the quality of your helmet camera though! I'd be happy to give you a monetary contribution towards a new one if you'd be willing and kind to set up a donation button on your channel. After all, it's Christmas time ❤ Blessings and season's greetings from a snowy Sweden!

[@weirdmanrides]

Oh man this comment made my day! You are too kind :) This was just a one-off thing I did to see if I should really get into this format of videos. Once I figured the output and got reviews from good people like you, I finally pulled the trigger and got myself a DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro and a DJI Mic Mini few days ago. This was recorded on a potato, but expect better quality next time :)

[@natanaelberntsson7487]

@@weirdmanrides Praise where praise is due! You're welcome man, happy to be able to put a smile on your face. Will continue to take part of your epic content with great excitement - and what a difference that DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro has made - good call!
