Triumph Scrambler 400X: 1200Kms Touring Test Review

The Triumph Scrambler 400X is the bigger, more desirable twin of the Speed 400. And after having ridden it extensively, we also find it to be the more versatile motorcycle of the two.

For most of us, tyres are just black coloured hoops made of rubber that are attached to motorcycle wheels. They are meant to roll with least resistance possible, offer the most amount of grip in every situation and be resistant to punctures. It all seems very easy but there’s a lot and I mean unfathomably lot to design and develop tyres. It’s something that struck me in the two days I spent experiencing two new tyres by TVS Eurogrip.

Ever since the Royal Enfield Scram 411 joined the BikeWale Long Term fleet, what I was looking forward to was working on my off-road skills. I also wanted to figure out if the Scram 411 is up to speed with its sibling when it comes to taking the broken path- after all, it is quite similar to the Himalayan in many ways.

We managed a few trips from Mumbai to Pune and back which contributed to a good 1200kms on the odo. Now, these trips were not only to deduce if the Scram 411 is a capable motorcycle on the highway but also if it can match or outperform the Himalayan’s abilities here.

The Yezdi Scrambler has been updated for 2023. Now, the Scrambler is a fantastic-looking motorcycle, and its styling alone can be one of the reasons to consider this bike for some. But, who should buy the Scrambler? We try to answer that in this road test review

In this story, we list down the pros and cons of this Yezdi.

India is quite new to the world of scramblers. There have been few in the market but either they are too expensive or just a cosmetic answer to the word scrambler.

Apart from a complicated name, the Moto Morini Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street is a fairly simple motorcycle. It does not have comprehensive electronics such as riding modes or a traction control system to fiddle with, while ABS exists because it’s now a norm. And all of this gives the Moto Morini Seiemmezzo 6½ Retro Street a bit of old-school charm – something that experienced riders would appreciate.

Moto Morini has entered the Indian market with three motorcycles, the X-Cape 650X adventure motorcycle, the Seiemmezzo 6 ½ Scrambler, and the Seiemmezzo 6 ½ Retro Street. Now, we have already reviewed the X-Cape 650X, and you can read our review here. So, how do the Seiemmezzo 6 ½ twins perform? And should you consider them if you are planning on buying a middleweight bike? Let’s find out.

This is the Moto Morini X-Cape 650X adventure tourer, and it is introduced in India by Adishwar Auto Ride, the same group that retails Benelli and Keeway motorcycles in the country. Now, the X-Cape 650X is Moto Morini’s offering in the middleweight ADV segment which includes well-established rivals like the Kawasaki Versys 650 and the Suzuki V-Strom 650. So, does it make a case for itself, and should you consider buying it over the competition? We will try to answer that question in this review.
