Reviews of Triumph Scrambler 400 X

Nice bike to drive and comfort was okay. I bought this bike for 2.7 lakh and it looks good when compared to other me.
The performance was superb and the services were brilliant. The riding experience was good, On the first ride I travelled 150 km which made me very comfortable and I wasn't tired after the ride.

About the Reviewer

This bike has it all! I bought the Scrambler 400x not too long ago in Hyderabad and have put a decent number of kilometers on it already. It can cruise at 100 with no problem, and the transmission feels like butter. The potholes feel like they are not even there. It is perfect if you commute daily through a mix of highways and rough patches of roads like I do. I did think the handling would be bad at first, but when I rode it for the first time, it felt really easy to control, even for a beginner like me. I would say that it can be scary to drive if you have no experience and are on the shorter side. I mean, I am 6'1 (and a noob), and I got scared the first time, but you get used to the size and weight pretty quickly. It is quite peppy, and the brakes may feel spongy to a few who have only ridden sporty bikes, but they are perfect for the kind of use this bike is built for. I bought this bike at the Kukkatpally Triumph showroom, and I would recommend you buy it from there if you are in Hyderabad because of its fast and easy delivery. The only con I have noticed so far is that it heats up very quickly in city traffic, but that could just be because of my lack of experience riding a motorcycle. It is a beautiful, quick, and easy-to-handle bike that can be driven almost anywhere.

About the Reviewer

Triumph Scrambler has a thing, a magical thing. It attracts you, it draws your attention. It has a lot of pros with only a few cons.
PROS:
- This bike has a character.
- Best fit & finish and detailing
- amazing power and a nice torquey bike.
- feels great while riding because of the seat height i.e., 835 mm.
- Suspensions are too good
- the design and the triumph badging almost on every part of the motorcycle.
Overall, it's a lovely performance multipurpose motorcycle which is made for the bike maniacs and lovers.
CONS:
The fuel tank could be of 14 litres.
The headlight throw could have been better
- The service network should improve in the coming time
I went for it after a long research in the segment and I would suggest you go for it as well. Take the test ride, you will love it.

About the Reviewer

I really like this engine. it's actually pretty usable even for a beginner. Triumph has added a bit of rubber below the pegs to smooth things in case of any refinement issues. The Handlebar though feels slightly Buzzy at 80 km per hour but it won't spoil your riding experience cruising between 100 and 120 kmph should not be a problem if you are of the touring kind. It is a tall motorcycle so most of the guys will find themselves tiptoeing in City to City traffic but once the roads open up there is a sense of comfort almost immediately. The wide handlebar, position of the pegs & the overall Riders triangle are really comfortable. A long wheelbase might mean stability but it usually compromises with handling. Personally, handling was probably the strongest attribute of this motorcycle so easy to steer and so much fun around fast Corners. A good set of tires will make this even better I feel but the way the motorcycle responds to your inputs and never feels out of line is actually incredible even with the bigger tire at the front. If you're looking at City usage but if your commute involves some kind of Highway run, if your commute involves going through a bad patch of Road, and if you really don't like slowing down at those places I feel the Scrambler 400x at rupees 2.63 lakh X showroom is fantastic value for money.

About the Reviewer

The Triumph Scrambler 400 X successfully marries classic design with contemporary performance, offering riders a motorcycle that excels both on and off the road. It's a versatile machine that appeals to those seeking adventure, style, and a connection to motorcycling heritage. With its engaging ride, thoughtful design, and a nod to the past, the Scrambler 400 X stands out as a worthy addition to Triumph's storied lineup.
Triumph has struck a good balance between the Scrambler's off-road capability and on-road comfort. The upright riding position is comfortable for both short city rides and longer journeys. The wide handlebars provide excellent control, and the well-padded seat offers enough support for extended periods in the saddle. However, riders with taller frames may find the seat a bit cramped during extended rides.

About the Reviewer

Hello Everyone... After all market surveys, Funding arrangements and home minister approval... I finally managed to grab Triumph Scrambler 400X recently in may 2024 month.
My Buying Experience : The Shaman motors in Thane for Triumph is good, though not upgraded yet with other products and accessories of Triumph. My buying experience was good and got delivery within 5 days post booking.
My Riding experience : Man this machine is crazy, I fell in love with this bike like Shahrukh crazy behind Juhi in the Darr movie. Fits n finish, British brand, Engine roar n stance with pickup. Target the location and shoot... And this machine will take you there without any hesitation.
Looks and performance - 100% head turner due to looks and because of this you too need to groom well as 2nd turn is for you as who is riding this beautiful machine. The performance I got is 26 kmpl in the city, not taken ahead yet on the highway.
Pros : All above are pros
Cons : Slight heating issue - feels while riding on shorts.
If you are looking to buy 400cc bike, then would recommend to go for Triumph Scrambler 400X.

About the Reviewer

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.

About the Reviewer

I don't think I've to repeat the exact same thing that the online reviewers said good about this bike, I stand with their opinion.
What I have to share is the things I didn't expect from this bike. The first thing is the headlight, the visibility is poor and if it rains it gets worse, especially on roads with portholes, you can't see something that is 5 or more meters away and the ride confidence in night is very low.
The second thing is the muck that gets thrown into the pillion seat, I was riding in the night for more than 100 kms in the rain and after the journey, I saw the muck splashed over my pillion seat, maybe it was also splashed into my plastic raincoat. It is not a bike for the monsoon.
The third thing is the most hurtful thing, the build quality. The bike is premium, there is no question about it, but once during a daily ride I lost my balance on a slippery road (any bike would have slipped the road was under repair and was raining) and was reclining to the left. I was able to hold it almost 80% and then I had no choice. The impact of 20% got a bend on my handlebar, it is not expected for a bike of this price range and which is meant for scrambling.
