I am getting one! And, as I live in British Columbia, Canada, with 10's of thousands of highway km's, I also ordered a +1 countershaft sprocket for those highway slogs getting to our hundreds of thousands of Km's of logging, mining and lumber trails here. I had been in the Honda camp, but I think this Triumph has so much more style, and, as I ride slowly, being 71 years old, I'm not ever going to push it hard.

Hey everyone I am an owner of scrambler 400x in Mysore, India, purchased in Feb 1st week. No doubt it's an amazing motorcycle. But I seem to have a lot of issues with the electronics of it. Let me explain in a bit of detail hoping that the message reaches the right people in Triumph. The day I got my first service done, the same evening my motorcycle wouldn't start at all. It was fixed by the service center stating that there was an electrical contact issue with the immobilizer. Went on a long ride (about 1700 kms) and while on the ride, I had instrument cluster/console issues. Speedometer fluctuations starting happening and it stopped working. Riding at a 120 kmph but speedometer showing Zero :PP Resulting in stoppage of reading of odometer, mileage (dynamic and average), distance to empty etc. Did not clock almost 700 kms because of this. Meanwhile, front ABS breaking issue had started. Rejection of application of front break. Almost caused an accident because of it. This was fixed by stating that a bold in the front wheel was loose and it was overlooked during PDI (pre-delivery inspection) 2 weeks later, engine starting issue (immobilizer related) has started again. No fix found yet. Service center states that it's a software problem... It's frustrating honestly. Anyone facing this internationally, kindly do let me know if a fix is found.

I have three other Triumphs and just picked up the 400 about three weeks ago love it not only is it a triumph. It’s a great motorcycle. It’s fun it’s light. It’s maneuverable great mileage. Wonderful on dirt roads in the city and back roads and not too bad on the highway. I’m still breaking it in but it’ll do 70 miles an hour at 6000 RPM.

Im breakin-in mine too. 1200 km incl oil changes at 200 and 1000 km odo. I get 85-90 kmph at 4500-5000 rpm. That tacho is tough to read accurately. Maybe she will ease up with more mileage, but right now the engine response doesnt encourage me to go over 100kmph..60miles So theres no top end punch....but suspension, steering geometry, riding ergos, brakes too..cant complain about these

Rode this bike at Daytona Bike Week at the Daytona dealership and it is a really fun bike! I’ve ridden the Triumph Street Scrambler (now Scrambler 900) and sure that’s a better bike for more money but this one FEELS like a triumph bike! They definitely nailed that aspect of it nicely.

@josevi5835 Ай бұрын

Rode this bike in Madrid in february. Great looking bike and fit an finishing are very good. The engine is very quiet, does not vibrate, has enough power and fantastic low rev torque. It breaks well and ergonomics and comfort were perfect with my hight and weight (1,71 m, 63kg). Clutch is light and everything is very smooth. Stability is nice and you feel the 19" front wheel. I would recommend this bike to my son and even to an advanced driver. Fantastic value-price ratio.

I waited 5 months for it I owned a KTM 390 Adventure for a couple of years and sold it as I wasn't using it enough off road. I feel the styling is spot on and not so quirky as the Swartpillin or the 390. This is my 5th Triumph. I am pleased with my choice.

Around town and a few dirt roads, plus good fuel mileage will make this one a good in-town commuter, and weekend plaything. I have a Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE on order, and am really looking forward to delivery. According to my local Triumph dealership, my bike is on a slow boat somewhere, in transit to the U.S. Happy Trails!

Picked up mine today and had a good ride for couple of hours. Downgraded from a 1000cc 150 hp sportstourer, and I can say that I didn't miss the sportstourer at all.

Noticed when next to the 900 and other 1200 you can clearly see the level of finish. The machined cooling fins on the engine on the 400 are quite rough compared to the bigger bikes which are flawless. Not a complaint considering the price difference. Ild have one

@gtobruin Ай бұрын

You touched on the Scrambler’s stance relative to the ergonomics for riders of different height. Another big consideration is that the Scrambler stance also visually matches better with larger riders. I’m a taller rider and once owned an air cooled Bonnie SE. With its 17” wheels it was substantially smaller than the T100 and Scrambler versions. I sometimes thought I looked like an ape humping a football. I ended up selling it on in favor of dimensionally larger bikes.

I am close to 300km on my 400X and it gets way smoother vibe wise with break in--rode 7 hours of highway yesterday at 120-140km [75-85mph]--i can do what you want...suspension softer too now after breaking in

I owned a Himalayan up until recently and I genuinely felt right at home on this bike. The best thing though is that it has so much more power so you don’t have to immediately pin it on first and second gear to get off on a light at a big road.

It's a fun little bike. 1st gear is useless on the street though. 2nd gear starts worked way better for around town riding. *Edit to clarify - I rode the Speed 400, not the Scrambler.

I bought one of these recently, very disappointed with this bike, when I went to remove the grab bar to fit my gear sack frame,one of the hardened bolts snapped off in the sub frame, unable to remove it,took it back to the dealership,they had it for a day, and somehow got the broken bolt out, now I've got a helicoil fitted to that area of the sub frame, the dealership didn't let me know this ,I had to discover it myself, then after that I had some greasy finger prints on the black plastic of the Speedo ,I used a soft cloth with a tad of water based degreaser on the cloth,I wiped over the plastic cover and woosh the black finish on the plastic cover came out, only in various sections, in the end I had to dismantle the Speedo rub back the black plastic and respray the whole piece, when I took the Speedo off the metal bracket, there's 3 self tapper screws that hold it on the plate, all should have a metal washer ,mine only had one washer ,two screws had none , I've still not received a new bolt from Triumph ,and haven't heard from them re the black finish on the Speedo plastic, it all stinks of cost cutting, never again will I buy a Triumph, even the spare parts bloke said that they're a nightmare to get warranty cover from, my new bike is currently for sale, I'm going to buy a new cfmoto mt 700 ,I'm confident that this will be a better quality bike and dealer, be warned, the price is forgotten long after the quality remains, hope this helps save some other poor sod from disappointment like I've had, never again Triumph 👎👎

You seem to like owning several bikes, why not give the garage building an overhaul, extend it some how so you can get bikes in and out without having to juggle them all. Can be expensive depending how you extend but there might be cheap ways of doing so. Maybe add a large Asgard shed to keep a couple of bikes in? I have one and it's excellent! Maybe have one just for the goldwing as that's your largest bike. (Plus the build of the shed could be good youtube content) I keep thinking of a second bike and i could fit another in my shed but I'd have less room if i want/need to work on 1 bike and i probably would have to juggle them about depending which i wanted to use. And would i be put off riding one cos i need to move the other to get it out and would knowing that put me off bothering to go out in the first place 🤷‍♂️ I love my speed twin and keep thinking of chopping it in for the Z900 RS, your vid hasn't help my decision cos i love the speed twin for all it's character but the Z900 RS would be more comfortable for me being tall, but i don't know if i could give that character up for comfort! Your vid has given me more things to think about though, maybe i should test ride a Z900 RS again 🤔

Best looking in the class by far. The engine lacks a little performance. A shame it isn’t closer to the maximum 47 allowed bhp in the learner class.

I think you’ll need to be diligent with the AF50 or the equivalent anti corrosion treatments.

The amount of fun was nowhere near what I had during the test of the 400. The Trident is a fine bike but with my riding style (rather civilized, defensive) it turns out quite boring. The 400 X was just fun, I even drove past the dealership to ride it longer. I must add I almost never do highways. And the brakes are a bit lacking when you are used to high spec brakes. It seems true that 'riding a slow bike fast is more fun than riding a fast bike slow' (not that is really slow)

I was really looking forward to seeing one of these and I did last week. Amazing for the price point but the seat was instantly uncomfortable! Like totally unacceptable to me, I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue with this bike?

You do know that Bajaj also makes the Svartpilen 401 as well as the Duke 390 right??

Nice review. Looks like a good bike for lots of folks and riding styles. I have to laugh, though, whenever "off-road" comes up. No, it's not a trail bike and while I fully understand why you have to caveat in this way, wow, those off-road riders really need to get some perspective. It's an "all road" bike, which is what most of us want. Well done.

can you compare speed400 & scramb400x..

@tonybarton3746 Ай бұрын

To big seat height for me, being a oldie with bad hips , but saw it in the flesh last week at my dealers and looks well made for me . Thinking of getting the Speed 400 instead because where I live on the iow , if you get out of third your in the sea 😂😂 + there’s lots of great b roads and winding bends . Ref the brakes , they are Brembo but their smaller bike ones . Ps the scrambler in green looks brilliant 😊👍😂

A pair of PIRELLI SCORPION MT60 RS tyres on that speed 400, and you maybe set. 👍

I will recomend you to try the scramblers front sprocket as well as it make the bike feel even more fun.

So I have had my 400x since January and so far, so good. Had a 5 year break from motorcycles, having sold my 2004 boney before covid. It was the first one in ROI as far as I know. Still running in so not fully up to speed, but has plenty enough performance for legal speeds. It feels lovely and light compared to my t120, 60kg+ less, which should see me into old age. I looked at the new himi, the fantic caballero and the husky, but the value, style, size and overall quality, sold it to me. The only a couple issues for me. The gearing in first is very low and I usually pull away 2nd gear and it gets a little vibe at motorway speeds ss a result. I'll look into changing a sprocket to give it longer legs. Also the brushed aluminium surfaces could do with an ACF50 coating. The radiator guard and it's fixings are showing rust already. The lack of accessories being a new model is a pain. Small things, easy fixed. Overall I'm really happy and glad to be back on two wheels !!

Test ride this today thinking it could be an alternative to my 1200 scrambler - not for me. Gear box clunky, lever felt cheap and engine supremely gutless. Probably a bit harsh but I walked away with no interest despite its good looks.

I think I might like to have one, but it loses its scrambler authenticity with that crappy exhaust pipe. It needs to run alongside the frame midway like the other Triumph scramblers and the old Honda scramblers.

which quadlock mount is that exactly??

Good review and a great looking bike, but you’re way out on the price difference to a RE Scram 411. They can be had for under £3700 brand new now. Oh, and it’ll get to 60/65 with no trouble at all, at around 4500/4700 rpm

@KevinArmstrong4154 Ай бұрын

Svartpilen 152 kilos, dry, Triumph Scrambler, 178 kilos wet, 13 litres of fuel is 10 kilos so still 16 kilos heavier. Hmmmmm. If the Triumph has no false neutrals like the Husky it's worth having though

I can't see this bike spending too much time off road or touring so it looks pretty good to me.

Motobob's reviews is more a fashion show. He is a city commute rider, so his views on adventure, scramblers, off road bikes can certainly be taken with heeps of salt. He fucus on such shallow weird things in many of the videos. Feel like it's more like a AI voice reading specs than a review.

Just as i suspected going into watching this video. As soon as i saw the numbered pros vs cons list, i predicted right away that the cons would almost 100% be associated with the fact that this is a BUDGET, smaller displacement bike. If you look at the price of this bike, and what it offers all around, those cons are practically irrelevant. This thing is a HELL of a value for the price.
