Triumph Scrambler 400X

[@Itsthejourneynotthedestination]

Been watching dozens of reviews, obviously most from India but a few coming through now from the UK and yours is the best yet so thanks.

[@Geordiebiketester]

Thanks for feed back. Yep India had them for a good 8 months before us.

[@05gt99]

Good to see the footage of the Quayside. I stayed in Newcastle from 90 to 95 and had a great time there. Bike review good too 👍

[@alangee2200]

Thanks ever so much for this “Geordie” Picked my green 400x up 4 days ago. It was absolutely superb to ride . . . . . while it lasted - all of 20 minutes ! Didn’t even get out of the town where the dealer is and the engine management light came on ! Took it straight back to the dealer. Switched off and on again and it wouldn’t start, dead as a Do Do 😱 It’s now on a bench in the workshop whilst the mechanics try to work out what’s wrong. Just my luck in life ! Grrrr 😡 However, the dealer has been absolutely superb and loaned me a demo 400x until they figure it out. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@everydaybiker]

Nice one. Thanks. That bike looks genuinely exciting. Now, hopefully, it'll prove itself reliable. Triumph is onto an absolute winner. Good on them

[@markfranks1329]

They just want a slice of the Royal Enfield 350 pie market for themselves. Not denying this bike is ok for what it is, but if RE's 350s hadn't have taken off as they have, do you really think Triumph would have bothered? No, I don't either.

[@CGB65]

Excellent description.

[@onemanhisdub1969]

Nice review. My son has just purchased the Honda 500x, which i think is a great bike. But i am going to wait for one of these on the second-hand market. All the best, David ✌️

[@porkscratchings5428]

Great review, I’ll see one in the flesh at the bike show in London. For the money it’s great for the build and finish. 👍

[@Geordiebiketester]

Thanks for the positive feed back on review. For the money it’s mega I hope it doesn’t creep up as time goes on.

[@robertsykes6309]

Good, clear, succinct review. The scenery made me homesick.

[@mrsilbo6499]

Great review & Newcastle backdrop too. Solid bit of Geordie cont-ext!

[@GraemeBlore]

Excellent review and easily understood (I have hearing issues).

[@ronaldbear1]

What a brilliant and DIFFERENT review compared to the other KZbinrs

[@Geordiebiketester]

Thank you I do try to make them different.

[@billesbacon]

Thank you for this review. Enjoyed the details of the dash.

[@Geordiebiketester]

I try to find stuff others miss so always pop a dash or two on the reviews.

[@billesbacon]

@@Geordiebiketester 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.

[@mushroomcloud1]

Great review! Thanks for the ergo portion of the review. I am the same height and inseam as you are so it gives me a good idea as to how she will fit. Very nicely done and I subscribed as well.

[@Geordiebiketester]

Thanks I do try my best to put as much info that means something to us.

[@MegaTubescreamer]

good job that ! have not seen anyone test the bike for pure off road stuff yet but it seems like it will handle anything !👌

[@Geordiebiketester]

Wrong guy for that I hate off reading but my research had me looking it to lots of India test ride reports and they where smashing off road. Looks like your right it can handle it.

[@JohnTheBodge]

watch RevZilla's video where they took it to the " highest motorable road in the world" or their daily rider one - both show the bike easily handling deep mud & fast rivers etc on the first one.

[@GaryFÓBrien]

See ‘nathanthepostman’

[@Tamnortheast]

Great review….thanks 😀

[@niall5181]

Great vlog ….what seat bag are you using

[@Geordiebiketester]

It’s a GIVI tail bag xstream 20lt.

[@g-dawgTT]

What tail pack are you using looks a good fit and i need one for my incoming scrambler?? Thanks

[@MultiCars12]

Good material, thanks a lot. Very nice seat bag you got for the bike. I guess it will hold a helmet in it. I really don't like any top box attached to the bike. Can you send a link for the seller of this bag and average cost? Thanks a lot.

[@Geordiebiketester]

It’s GIVI bag sadly they don’t make it anymore. Had it for years don’t think a helmet fits in but it carries all my camera gear and seems to fit every bike I borrow.

[@anthonybrown4874]

Good job any feeling for how good the range might be or the mpg on a mixed commute?

[@Geordiebiketester]

Dave the owner got 80mpg on the scrambler he also got the same on Speed which is still showing on the dash. When borrowed the bike it went down to 67 but lots of stopping for filming. Would have to ride it more to give you a proper answer.

[@55johnno]

Immobiliser warning light on all the test ride! Known issue. Hope this is sorted by the time I pick my bike up!🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@JJDirtBiker]

Just picked mine up last week and loving it. However, i have also had that darn engine immobilizer light remain on during riding from time to time. Seems to happen whenever i start the bike up and roll off immediately without letting it warm up a bit (for just a minute or so). If i pull over and restart the bike it turns off. Very odd. Anyone else seen this?

[@taekatari]

It's a known issue, triumph will fix it with your first service

[@nigelnitrogen1778]

That little red light seems to always be on in reviews so i googled it. Immobiliser malfunction 😂. Not looking good throwing fault codes immediately

[@kevinwalding6779]

Great vid …only thing..triumph bothered to put on a black chain and the dealer covered it in white grease!!!! You couldn’t make it up!

[@peterkoning21]

Nice..but much too quiet for me !

[@Geordiebiketester]

Come not bad for standard bike.

[@1990-t1j]

Undergeared, isn't it?

[@FuchsiaShock]

That gearing is weird. RE Himi would have stalled in 4th at 30!

[@Geordiebiketester]

That’s why this is so amazing it just pulls. However the Speed 400 isn’t happy doing the same.

[@sompartittharat807]

compair to cb500x please.

[@Geordiebiketester]

I will be putting the Scrambler against a CL500 in the spring I hope. So wait and see.

[@longjonwhite]

Triumph: pretty. Honda: fugly. Hope this helps. 😎

[@mloclam6917]

Americans get a bargain when comparing pounds to dollar

[@markalton2809]

Seems like a nice bike, but far too tall. At 65 years old, I'm going to need either steps or yoga lessons to get my leg over it.

[@Geordiebiketester]

It is a lovely bike. Maybe the Speed 400 could be the right fit. Test that this weekend review soon.

[@longjonwhite]

Ahoy there young ‘un. I’m 72 and still getting me leg over, just less frequently…

[@privatename1531]

What the hell is this camera angle bro this is so disturbing 😂😂

[@Geordiebiketester]

It’s a go pro under a helium ballon tied to bike with fishing line. I thought it looked cool. Who needs a 360 camera on a selfie stick. 😝

[@pggp273]

This bike is probably ok for what it is but if anyone thinks this is a Triumph are kidding themselves. Spoiler alert Just because it's got a Triumph badge on the side it doesn't make it a Triumph

[@longjonwhite]

Yeah, made in India…Not a proper Thai Triumph.

[@canadianvideos6094]

LOL, made in India, not Thailand. India makes way more bikes than Thailand. Fully designed by Triumph and built to their specs. I think the original comment is a little out of touch with modern global manufacturing. I used to hear people complain about BMW’s that are built in the US, not a real German car. These manufacturers tool the assembly lines and every part to their exact specifications. Contract manufacturers adhere strictly to the terms of their agreement and build exactly what is asked of them, otherwise they don’t get paid and lose the contract. This type of relationship holds the contract manufacturer accountable for quality, far better than what most unions are capable of doing. Anyway, there are many reviewers that disagree with that comment, this is a beautiful little bike that lives up to the brand’s reputation.

[@papachis9535]

Does it reset Traction Control when you switch the machine off? Like the bike (and your review) but it looks like 1980’s Seiko interface.

[@taekatari]

Resets upon key off
