Went on a 45min test ride today. I actually bought the scrambler 2 weeks ago after riding the speed. Now the had the scrambler available and it delevered! What a smassing ride. I'm 5'9 177cm and it's just perfect for me. It feels al the way like a proper bike. Handeling, speed, acceleration. I did a testride with a enfield 650 interceptor. The triumph was so much more fun to ride. Now it's just waiting until april when my fantom black scrambler is ready to go!
@@marksgaragestuff I feel the same way. For now it's the scrambler 400x but I'm already dreaming of a bigger bike. The trident was just out of reach price wise for now. But in 5 years, who knows what triumph i'm getting 😁.
Smh pathetic.... Curb your materialism, my guy. I literally have dreams sometimes of getting the scrambler one day. Be glad you have one! There are people way less fortunate than you. @@Steph9nine
Did my first service this week. Have 1300k on it now. Stil so much in live with the bike. Power delivery is so good. It keeps goin from the low revz up to 9500rpm topping out at 160 on the bikes speedo. It handles amazingly well with the 19inch front weel. No offroading yet but that's something i will be testing this summer. Also love the sound of the exhaust. Specialy when letting go of the trottle or when down shifting.... Omg... And the seat is so comfortable. Also for longer rides. It handles the freeway just fine having enough punch to overtake. It also has no problems goin slower in a higher gear. I can easly cruze 50km/h in 4th gear. Enjoying the sound of the engine. It realy is an amazing bike 😁
I love the look of this bike 😍 it's proportionally beautiful. This is the bike I'd start with if getting into riding which I might actually do after watching this video! Excellent review and ride buddy, your videos are really good 😃👍
Well, someone's in love. :-) Thanks for your great review. I went to the Triumph dealer today to have a look at the T120 and the 1200 XC (after 10 years without a motorbike) and suddenly found myself standing in front of the 400x ... I was thrilled and am seriously wondering whether I need more for the city and country roads. Sure, 1200cc is always an argument and I used to ride big bikes, but your video shows me how much fun you can have with 400cc - and to be honest, I won´t ride much faster than 100-130 anymore - those days are over. Maybe I'll have to go for a test ride after all. It's very tempting and my dealer has two bikes left at the moment - all the others were sold immediately.
Likewise I went to buy a scrambler 900 and test rode the 400x and bought one. Fantastic commuter and twisty road bike, made the 900 seem like a dinosaur and to be honest it looks way better. I haven’t felt the need for any larger engine with the 400xit’s a potent gem of an engine and handles like a supermotard.
Triumphs design and expertise combined with Bajaj's legendary manufacturing experience and quality is a no brainer. This will be selling like 'hot paranthas' in any market as it is already in India.
I’m very tempted to get one and set it up for TET / green road type riding. Wire wheels, semi knobblies, high fender, bashplate etc. Main questions I have is standing position, and how heavy it FEELS in technical slow riding.
Went into West London Triumph dealership (in West Byfleet) yesterday for the first time with my Dad who has a Tiger 800xt or something. And I saw one of these. Just beautiful. I don't even have a licence and I want one.
Amigo que esperas para sacar tu licencia y adquirir tu primera motocicleta. Recuerda algo, la vida es solo una, la vida es corta, se nos va yendo en menos de lo que creemos, entonces a disfrutar más porque mañana no sabemos si estaremos acá. Saludos desde Medellín - Colombia.
Possibly could get the seat bleached? Not sure if you can do that to get it to black - yeah man get what you mean about wire wheels that would have been cool
@@marksgaragestuff i believe it would have uped the price qiut a bit. I'm thinking of using black shoesine on my seat (I went for the fantom black) to get it darker.
Sat on the street version yesterday as scrabble to high for my short legs. Agreed stunning looking bike, street under 5k. I was thinking RE SCRAM for my run about? You know I may just change my mind.
Super bikes the both of them … have you given them a test ride yet? I’m testing the speed this Saturday which will be interesting to see if it rides differently
It's hard to know how honest you can be when you gush about how great they are for giving you the bike to ride. If you give a bad review do you think they will ever loan you another motorcycle?
To be honest I just say what I feel. Personally I love motorbikes and I like to focus on the positives. I genuinely think most motorbikes are great. The look and engineering of them are so fantastic. That being said If my honest opinion on a motorbike is ‘it’s not for me’ then I would be honest about that but I haven’t ridden one I haven’t liked yet :-)
I feel that two things let that bike down to look at. One is the speedo surround and its needle, both are silver plastic that look so incredibly cheap in the flesh. The other one is specific to that bike, the brown seat, it's not a good brown and it just doesn't look good with that red tank.
I have seen many reviews of this bike but your review made me love this more than any other. I drove 150 cc bikes in cities about 15 years ago. And hoping to restart biking at the tender age of 39.
@@CoelhoSports video coming for sure. The Triumph accessories I chose are the small windscreen, center tank pad, luggage rack, and the high mud guard. Not sure if upgraded seat is worth the expense, but it does look sharp. I want both the upper and lower engine bars. Still not sure if the upper one comes with the bike. The reviews from India say that it does. I still can’t get a straight answer on that. I also like the bullet style turn lights. Again not sure it’s worth the add on price. Luggage has been a big thought and I believe the Mosko Moto Reckless 80 will solve all my needs with a Triumph specific Cruz Tools kit in the Fatty Tool Roll. For Navigation I will be using the REVER App with my IPhone on a Quad lock mount.
@@billesbacon i have yet to need navigation apps enough to need to have a phone on my handlebars....that's living in the Georgia highlands and putting over 10k mi a year touring and doing loop rides in four states. I usually know where I am and where I'm going. I have occasionally stopped to check a remote intersection that splits 5 ways....but that's likely once a month or two.
Currently have a new Tracer 7 GT as we go touring. When I hang up my panniers this bike, or whatever is about then, will be on my shortlist. Would be great for day trips over Dartmoor near where I live.
Thanks for the informative review. I was unaware of this bike. So, do I sell my Honda CRF300 Rally and get the Scrambler 400? I’ve been spending some time in my local Triumph dealership lately, and will be taking delivery of a new Triumph Scrambler 1200XE in a couple of weeks. The Scrambler 900s look pretty capable, as well. Happy Trails
Haha that made me Laugh… I use the Cardo app to record my voice to be honest so it’s live … delay in time though… have been looking at somthing called the purple panda microphone which may help for better audio
Nice review. I ordered the 400x in this color in July with initial expected delivery in Richmond, Virginia in early January…now expected in late February or early March. What do you think about the headlight? I’m planing on additional running lights for better daytime visibility but have not identified a source yet with an installation that I like.
Headlight was cool but if you got some addition lights I think that would look awesome and really suit the bike - what lights are you thinking on getting ?
very nice looking bike and proper seats as well, I won't be rushing out to order one (I've never bought a new bike and never will) but I do see one in my biking future
I was in that shop yesterday and they had none left to sell on the floor, just the demo outside so it says something good. Should have test rode it but I too had my wallet on me😬.
Other than being cheaper and a bit lighter is there any reason to buy one over the NX500? Looks to be about the same size but less refined because of single cylinder and no screen
One is a beginner scrambler and one is a beginner ADV bike. Scram has more rear weel travel. The 40+ pound difference is a lot. Don't want a screen. NX is Blah. Scram is beautiful. Thumpers sound so much better. Not knocking the NX because it is a good bargain but there are plenty of reasons.
Well the speed 400 is $5000 and the T 400x is 5500 in the US The Honda NX500 doesn't seem to be in US catalogs yet, but the CB500X that it replaces is still sold for nearly $8000. Priced the same I'd likely buy the twin as twins provide better consistent power and Honda motors are very smooth....but a sub 650cc is typically a price game versus usability. RE350s are basically 20hp CB250s/Rebels for $4500 including the required 500mi $500 metal shaving cleanout and valve dealer adjustment This is 5000 or 5500 Honda is 7500 to 8500
The scrambler is a city light trail hooligan fun machine, the engine is a gem and it wheelies very easily the Honda is a Honda! Just capable but boring
Viewed these bikes in the flesh so's to speak for the first time a couple of weeks ago here in Alicante. Very impressive in term of look and finish....love a Red Motorcycle..l know Enfield appeal to a different rider, but for those not sold on the Traditional Classic look and feel Triumph may will steal some of their [Enfield] customers. besides the Triumph has more 'Grunt'....
I'm confused. This is his personal owned/registered bike or is it the dealer's bike? At 8:40 he says "as for the value, it would be genuinely dangerous if i had my credit card". It's good to see people riding these outside india but it looks like i'm still just seeing dealer floor models in the uk. I saw an announcement from triumph posted online where they claim some problems in the suez have delayed the arrival of these for at least a month, meaning maybe March?
What is the weight limit on the Triumph Scram 400x ?! I am always confused about the full load weight! Do they count the total weight of the bike + how much on the top or only the load weight without the bike?! Thanx ✌️😎
Noticed you were at Webbs that will be Peterborough I’ve brought several bikes from Webbs Lincoln including thriumph thruxton thriumph 1050 gt thriumph bobber Harley Davidson 883 iron and my latest Harley Davidson xl1200 classic webbs are so friendly my self I’ve not visited Peterborough dealership but come summer time will go to see good vid. Mate
Webb’s Lincoln and Peterborough are really great. Super friendly and really good of them to help support me with things. Thanks for comment… more content to come throughout the year hopefully 😀
I've seen them multiple times in person now. The fit and finish is as good as the much more expensive bikes that's for sure. I can't speak to riding experince havent rode one yet.
This might be a brilliant move for triumph. Really. A brilliant move. Made in India. High quality. Probably better than bonnevilles made in Thailand. Half the price. Crazy. Will fly in India. And We in USA will benefit We’ve made too many bikes too big Too fast Too powerful Too expensive Too heavy This may be the modern answer
Great Bike, Great Review ! Last week I ordered my 6th Triumph. It's a Scrambler 400 X. Before that I had three Scrambler 900 AC and two Tiger 800. I read in other reviews that the 400cc engines are affected by constant-speed jolting, I hope mine won't have that. Did you notice something ?
To many issues with this bike has put me off. MCN had problems and this would have been a bike straight from the quality dept at triumph. Had leaking forks and electrical problems.
Great video matey. Love the look and sound of the bike. I am considering the Speed 400 as I am short in the leg and found it more comfortable for me. I'm assuming the ride is similar for both bikes. I also think they've got the pricing spot on. Keep up the good work 👍
The overall look of the bike is very nice. I may have some minor gripes, but that’s just the normal complaints from my brain 🧠. Would have loved one years ago. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
What Triumph wont tell you is that they have been running the 400 in India for a little while and it has thrown up a number of problems. With Triumphs infamous reputation for standing by their warranty claims I think I would leave it a couple of years before this bike was even on my consideration list.
Personally I have limited experience with off road / loose road conditions… I could imagine it being very good though considering how the suspension is set up … maybe there will be a review out soon on this specific thing
Anyone coming into biking in 2024 has never had it so good. The choices available are numerous, from none-threatening RE's to full on Suzuki Hayabusa'. But for me the sweet spot has to be the mid-capacity bikes (500-750).
@@marksgaragestuff nearly 75 in a couple of months, having said that I had a test ride today in the pouring rain after a wet ride to the dealership . Was a little disappointed found it a awkward uncomfortable ride and that front brake 🫣 when riding home on my 1200 speed it was getting back into bed with an old flame , shan’t be changing for a while unless I try the 400 speed on a sunny day 😊
Triumph? It's made by Bajaj Auto in India. The Union flags on the tank don't change that. Pride of ownership? Not for me. Let's not forget depreciation.
Good review. Ordering one from Malaga Triumph next week. Ive been waiting years for a bike that i can fit on. 6ft 4 in and not pay a fortune. Easy handling.
