Had mine a wee while now, love it... as regards off road capability, gravel/cinder tracks only... leave the muddy bits alone the tyres won't cope... this said, as a road bike its fantastic.. and a bargain for the money... enjoy.....👍😎

YEEEEEES! So happy to see you out riding and reviewing again. Good job, cool bike. Wish I could give you 2 thumbs up.

Love Triumph/Yamaha Balcatta, they're always great there. Also like how while the triumph looks more expensive on paper than some of the similar models by other manufacturers it comes with a lot of 'extras' in that price, so by the time you add all that on to the other models the prices are very comparable. Honestly its a toss up for me between this and the Honda CL500, Honda's parallel twin is very tempting for the highways but the Triumph does seem more offroad capable (and looks slightly nicer in my opinion). I think it's just going to come down to availability and the test rides when I'm ready to upgrade.

Great review!

Nice review solid , great bike looks nice retro & built well. Hope u do more reviews if u can in the future 👍👏👏

Nice fit and finish!

Regarding the slippery pegs: the rubber covers can be removed in seconds to reveal the spikes on the pegs.

One of the overlooked characteristic of a Scrambler that I personally think enhances it's adventure cred is the ability to turn the headlight beams with the handlebar. To me, this can be a lifesaver at night, in unknown roads, giving you much quicker reactions times than a set of headlights that fixed to the chassis.

Great review please do more of them! Cheers

I had a look at one in Rockingham and thought that triumph had really put a great bike together, and for the price, it's really good value.

“Clunky shifting?” Have you ever ridden a Guzzi? Hahaha

The Triumph 400X Scrambler ticks a lot of the same boxes as the BMW G310GS, with the advantages of another 6 HP and 2 liters of fuel. I still prefer the baby GS for the increased suspension travel, large rear rack, braided stainless brake lines, out-the-back exhaust, etc.

Zack and Spurge road these to the Himalayas in a video. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a great one to watch. Great video mate.

It does look really sweet! I think it will be a huge seller.

thanks for the bike review; I think it will make a fun off road bike, pending the skills of the rider! I am a big fan of Scramblers as they were the first of the off road bikes that lead to Adventure Bikes.... you have very good wet weather rider skills....

I've tested the speed 400 which is basically the same, too much vibrations at high speed but this is the ultimate weapon for the city. Cudos to my local triumph dealer I've been treated and could test it the same day (CFMoto if you are watching...)

Thanks for the thorough review. How did it compare to the KTM 390 engine-wise? I had a go at the 390 but absolutely no power under 4000 rpm was disappointing…

This could be a good replacement for my Street Triple, as it's lighter, although the seat height could be a problem. The Street Triple is just too torquey for me now, and even though I've been riding since 1987, it can still scare me at times. I'm amazed that it's a LAMS approved bike!

When trying to determine the off road, or at least off pavement potential, I would love to know two things. 1- How does it behave at low revs? Does it have the tractor factor that is so useful on the trails? 2 - Is the first part of the suspension travel plush? Does it feel like it has progressive rate springs? How is the compression and rebound damping? Lots of street oriented bike favor a linear response to load, whereas I find a more progressive response better in the dirt. Cheers, and a speedy recovery to ya!

You're roads look pretty good compared to here in Southern California. I really like these 400cc Triumphs, but I couldn't ride one on the highway here.

Great for bog laps🥳

Someone please convince Triumph to make a Scrambler 400 XE with 21"/18" wheels and long travel suspension.

love my 400x but huge problem is find accessories esspacially in my country.

Looks like a good bike, maybe those engine vibes at 110 kph are due to newness of the demo bike? The speedo is a big miss for me, which is strange since Triumph normally do something interesting with the instruments. I heard people say it's difficult to see the RPM at a glance and the indicator warning light is too dim in daylight.

Hi Solid. Hope you are well. I am still wondering what these scrambler bikes are for. I see the retro thing but I wouldn’t buy one for on road or for off road. Glad you enjoyed it.

FIRST WOO

When did 400cc become little engine!

Good Lord Solid! I thought it never ever rained in WA? 🤔

I sold my 400X two weeks ago after putting 7000km on it--i oput racks and soft luggage and toured.Its capable and a fun good looking bike but the NX500 i got is much better suited for touring..especially with hard boxes on it which would have ruined the 400X looks--the 400x front forks need some work too stiff OEM

I don’t want transformers looking bikes but don’t want this weird amorphous shaped design either. Also I never understood when people talk about felt “vibrations” from a motorcycle. It’s a motorcycle.

Recently bought 1 India, v r getting MRF tyres in stead of Metzelarz

Very cool but now for the cfmoto 450 mt please

What is the price? Do they come in more than one color?

Beats me why would anyone choose this one over Fantic Caballero Rally. If both available

So, Solid,how do the vibes at highway speed compare to a DR650? Actually, how does the riding experience as a whole compare to a DR650? Because this bike is as likely a replacement as any for my poor old bush pig. 😃

Do the CFMOTO 450 mate!!

I cringe everytime you say ‘motor’. It’s an engine godammit! Teslas have motors! 😂. Bike would look awesome with a pair of knobbies I think. Nice review. 👍
