Triumph is going well with its new 400cc duo. Previously on the channel we showed the Speed 400 road bike, and now it’s time for the dirtier sibling - the Scrambler 400X.
Looks good, sounds good, and feels good - it´s fun to ride, and you see happy faces along the road as well. Enjoying my Scrambler 400x all the time, it´s been 4 months and 4000 km until now, and that´s just the beginning 🙂
I have my 310gs that am very happy with but debating if I should upgrade to this. Love the look but I don’t think it’s as comfortable. The dealer is a bit of a drive to get to so I haven’t checked it out. Great looking bike though. Nice video.
I think only the TFC versions of bikes are actually built in Hinkley now. (I could be wrong, but that's what i heard anyway) Build quality is still good though and that's a credit to Triumph that they have this ethos wherever they are built.
Hate to disappoint you but very little assembly is done in Hinckley, England these days, most Triumphs being Thai built. So any build quality comparison is Thailand 🇹🇭 vs India 🇮🇳
Test road this bike and also the Speed 400. I like the Speed better. the scrambler is maybe nicer looking. but it's taller with bigger wheels. so it doesn't handle as good on the street. it doesn't turn in as fast and the engine seems a little less fun. I think it's geared a little different. it has slightly less top speed. personally if I was buying one I would buy the Speed 400. and if I was planing on riding on allot of dirt roads I would rather have an enduro style bike.
Tubeless so you can fix flats with a plug kit and reduce unsprung weight by eliminating the tube. Spoked mostly because they look awesome but you can also lose a spoke or two out of your wheel and limp back home and rebuild but with cast wheels, if you lose a “spoke” your wheel is shot.
Unless they are getting paid LESS than other local jobs pay, it isn't exploitation. They get paid the local market rate or better. This is also how "sweat shops" work. They are jobs in poor countries, where the jobs pay at least the local wage rate for labor. You want people to have these jobs. These are opportunities and steady work to enrich them and their local economies. These people are not put in worse conditions by these businesses. They are born in worse conditions and are given opportunities by these companies for better conditions
@@logangodofcandy these companies do not have a philanthropic bone in their bodies. Why are these companies not paying 1st world rates to these unfortunates? Consumers justifying their purchases by your reasoning are just lying to themselves
@@rodneyhull9764 most often that creates inflationary pressure on the rest of the economy everything gets more expensive and people end up spending a greater portion of their income buying basic goods
