| Bike Cons Text | — | Tall seat & heavier stance: Seat height is about 835 mm and kerb weight around ~185 kg, which may be challenging for shorter riders or in tight urban traffic. Feature omissions & cost premium: Some expected features missing (e.g., connected tech, riding modes, adjustable levers) and the price/service costs are higher than many in the 400cc class. Vibrations and urban compromise: Some users report noticeable vibration at higher RPMs, and in heavy traffic the tall stance may be less comfortable. Practical limitations: The split rear seat is compact; tyres/brakes designed for dual-terrain but may trade off slightly on pure street use; service network/maintenance costs may be higher for premium brand. |
| Bike Pros Text | — | Strong off-road-ready hardware: It has a 19″ front / 17″ rear wheel setup, long suspension travel (~150 mm front & rear) and gets features like knuckle guards, headlight grille, sump guard — true to its scrambler DNA. Refined, torque-rich engine: The 398 cc single-cylinder engine delivers around 39.5 bhp / 37.5 Nm, with good low-end pull and smooth delivery for both city and trail use. Premium build & features: High quality finish, ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control, dual-channel (switchable) ABS, split seat and modern instrumentation. Versatility: Works well as a street bike with scrambler/dual-terrain capabilities thanks to the chassis/suspension set-up. Reviewers say it “still a hoot to ride despite taller stance”. |

| Overview Manual | — | The Triumph Scrambler 400 X represents a bold entry in the mid-size adventure-scrambler segment, combining British craftsmanship with rugged, go-anywhere capability. Built under the Triumph-Bajaj partnership, the Scrambler 400 X is designed to bring Triumph’s legendary scrambler DNA to a wider audience — offering classic styling, off-road practicality, and refined performance in a lightweight, accessible package. At first glance, the Scrambler 400 X captures attention with its authentic scrambler design — high-mounted exhaust finishers, wire-spoke wheels, a muscular fuel tank, sump guard, hand guards, and long-travel suspension. It carries a sense of adventure and heritage that closely resembles its larger siblings, the Scrambler 900 and 1200. The bike’s upright stance, high ground clearance, and purposeful proportions instantly set it apart from roadsters and commuters in its class. Powering the Scrambler 400 X is a 398 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine from Triumph’s new TR-series platform. This engine produces 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and slip-and-assist clutch. The performance is refined, tractable, and full of character — making it ideal for both city rides and adventurous weekend escapes. The power delivery is smooth and linear, and the engine’s mid-range torque ensures effortless overtakes, even on steep terrain or highways. In terms of riding dynamics, the Scrambler 400 X truly shines. It features longer suspension travel (150 mm at both ends), 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, and dual-purpose tyres for better control on rough terrain. The seat height of 835 mm gives riders a commanding view of the road, while the wide handlebar and neutral ergonomics make it comfortable for long rides. Though slightly tall and heavier at around 185 kg, the weight distribution is balanced, making it stable both on-road and off-road. The bike’s ride quality is among the best in its class. The suspension soaks up bumps and potholes effectively, providing confidence over broken Indian roads. Braking performance is handled by disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS, which can be switched off for the rear wheel during off-road use. The ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control, and off-road ABS mode make the Scrambler 400 X a technologically advanced machine without overwhelming new riders. Feature-wise, Triumph offers a premium package: LED headlight, tail-light and indicators, a semi-digital instrument cluster with gear position indicator, USB-C charging port, and high-quality switchgear. Every component feels well-built, reflecting Triumph’s attention to detail and quality. In terms of performance, the Scrambler 400 X delivers real-world mileage of 27 km/l, a top speed of around 150 km/h, and strong mid-range performance for highway cruising. While the tall seat height and kerb weight might be challenging for shorter riders, taller riders will find it perfectly balanced for both urban commuting and trail riding. Priced at around ₹2.84–2.94 lakh (ex-showroom), the Triumph Scrambler 400 X may not be the most affordable option in its class, but it offers unmatched premium feel, solid build quality, and versatility. It’s ideal for riders seeking a stylish motorcycle that can handle daily rides, weekend tours, and light off-road adventures with ease. In summary, the Triumph Scrambler 400 X is a near-perfect blend of heritage design, refined performance, and practical versatility — a motorcycle that not only looks timeless but also performs with modern precision. |
