12/01/2024

Triumph Scrambler 400X Excitement:

The world buzzed about it, and BikeWale was eager. An idea sparked – a 1200km ride to Goa.

Diverse Terrain Adventure:

City, highway, mountains, off-road - the Scrambler 400X conquers all. A new Google-suggested route to Goa made the journey even more thrilling.

Overpacking Challenge:

With 10 days in Goa, overpacking was inevitable. The stock Scrambler 400X lacked luggage accessories, relying on the Rynox Navigator 50.

Engine Marvel:

Engine Marvel:

The 400cc engine thrills with 40bhp power and 37Nm torque. Punch in low revs, addictive mid-range, and highway dominance make it a joy. 2.

Cornering Magic:

Cornering Magic:

Scrambler 400X excels on corners, thanks to its chassis and tires. Easy tipping, excellent line holding – a blissful 80km mountain stretch.

Comfort is King:

Ergonomic delight with upright seating and minimal fatigue after a 10-hour ride. Transitioning from road to off-road is seamless and comfortable.

Ride Quality Woes:

Ride Quality Woes:

Firm ride quality, especially at the rear, could use a softer spring for a more enjoyable overall experience.

Front Brake Frustration:

Front brake disappoints at high speeds, lacking power and bite. Caution needed on unfamiliar routes.

Instrument Cluster Letdown:

Analog tachometer on a bike at this price point is a miss. Limited space for essential information due to its dominance.

Off-Roading Limitations:

While capable on bad roads, the Scrambler 400X falls short off-road. The 19-inch front wheel and ground clearance hinder confidence on rough terrains.
