Triumph Scrambler 400 X Price in Shimla

Riding this bike is a jam I purchased this bike last month and since then I have been riding on almost 2000 KM I have done highway and city rides and I will be doing mountains in the coming weeks
My first service experience from Triumph was really good and they were very polite and understanding my all the queries that I had and were able to answer all my questions.

About the Reviewer

That's how I would describe it. It gives you everything u can ask from a bike. It's fast, It's Comfortable, It has a road presence, It has looks, and It sounds great( for a single cylinder). Until and unless you are a serious off-roader who goes off-roading every week, it's the bike for you. Not to say this bike can't offroad. It can, and does it well. It's just the new Himalayan does it better. For the city, its agile and fast enough. For highways, it can cruise at an easy 100 kph. Beyond that slight vibes, but not unbearable. This is the better of the two 400s. Only choose speed 400, if seat height is a serious issue. Skilled riders 5'6 or above can manage it easily.

Usually, people go to the showroom and choose their motorcycle, but this particular machine chooses the rider. If you are lucky enough, you get the tickets because after that, it's all a joyride for you. Enough storylines, let's come back to the topic. Scrambler. Oh, man!!! What a machine to love
This motorcycle is everything you expect from a motorcycle at least in my case so.
Appearance - 9/10
Just a little glimpse and you are attracted by her looks, finishing and craftsmanship. The detailing, the beautiful paint (particularly Matte Khaki), the design elements, even the nut and bolts everything looks neat and clean and adds a beauty element on this motorcycle.
Riding Stance - 9/10
I rode 375km in a single stretch on a hilly terrain without breaking a sweat. Do I have to say more? Keep in mind, that the pillion add little discomfort and you probably won't do 50-60 km in a single go. The pillion seat is a little stiff and so does the riders. But I did extra double memory foam so for me, the seat is just like a couch.
Maintenance - 9.5/10
Being a triumph (well at least on paper) i thought the servicing would be on a higher side but I was wrong. Maintenance of this motorcycle is minimal and the service interval is 1600 or 1 year which is mind-boggling. Spare parts are cheaper too. Well done Triumph India.
Pricing - 9.5/10
A few years back, BMW came with G310R and GS310. They thought they would take the Indian consumer by their side but they messed up totally on pricing and maintenance cost. Triumph took note and kept the price and maintenance cost as low as possible and people loved it. They are entering into Triumph and further they will upgrade into Triumph's bigger bikes. That's the plan of Triumph and they executed well.
Competition
However, I don't think it has a direct competition because Scramblers are of different leagues. Do you love mountains? Scrambler is for you. Do you love Rough terrain? Scrambler is for you. Do you love touring? Scrambler is for you. You love city rides? Scrambler is for you, my friend. It's an all-rounder class of motorcycles.
But people love to compare it with Himalayan. Himalayan is an Offroad breed. Its only strength is in Offroad terrain. You don't want to ride Himmy on a city ride. Right? But scrambler, you can take it anywhere and the Triumph logo adds an extra smile on your face. Some say Yezdi Scrambler is also a competition and I laughed at them badly. Do you really think Yezdi is a competition to Scrambler 400x? Man, Yezdi barely surviving in India. Don't make this mistake.
Verdict
Considering the brand's legacy, pricing, maintenance cost, it's all-rounder ability and also for a better resale perspective, you can choose Scrambler 400x blindly. I did it and I have zero regrets.
