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.

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.

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 braking issue had started. Rejection of application of front brake. Almost caused an accident because of it. This was fixed by stating that a bolt 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.

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.

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

Triumph had a vision for a new 400cc platform, and they made the Speed 400 as well as the Scrambler 400x, with more to come, possibly... And as far as the Scrambler goes, they made alle the right decisions and had the job done, it´s perfect (as good as it gets) for what it´s ment to be! And I bought it and I´m happy with it. Usability and fun in one great looking package, not to mention the sound. YES - they absolutely nailed it!

Around town and a few dirt roads, plus good fuel mileage will make this one a good in-town commuter, and weekend plaything.

I rode one yesterday and it is every bit as much fun as you think. I rode a bunch of bikes yesterday at a demo and it was my 2nd favorite ride next to the Speed Twin 1200. Yes - I liked riding the 400 more than the 900 and more than the Daytona. 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.

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.

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 hear from a few owners that the durability of the finish on the engine casings and other areas isn’t the best. I think you’ll need to be diligent with the AF50 or the equivalent anti corrosion treatments.

The simple tacho is a Pro, not a Con...but yeah, one thing I agree..this should have been a twin. Doesn't Bajaj have a parallel twin platform?

Love this bike. Did I want it to weigh more like 300 pounds? Yes. However, the weight helps on the highway, on windy days and when getting brush by wind from big trucks.

can't wait for Svartpilen 401 :) i love that bike.. But Triumph's 400's looks fantastic.

I'd like to see one after a year on British roads before I make a judgement on if this is a genuine quality Triumph. Some of the banjo bolts briefly glimpsed are already corroding.

It absolutely won't be as good. Given all the costs rising and people's ability to buy things shrinking, they're going to have to cut corners. It's just inevitable and not anyone's fault

Great video! I'm looking to add this to my bikes this year... I want to look at it from pure off-road ability point of view - maybe even try to take it to the same roads I go to on my Yamaha XT250 - I wonder how far this would go...

Please keep the new RE Himalayan 450 (with the liquid cooled Sherpa engine) shortlisted if your focus is off road. This little Scrambler is a versatile bike, will take you up and down a small hill, but do not expect hard core off roading from it. Being from India, I have test ridden both. The new Himalayan’s suspension is very versatile let it be on road or off road.

Did a show room sit at the weekend. Defo high seat. I’m 5ft 8 and it’s tippy toes on the 400. Switched to the 900 and with the lower seat it’s a much better feel. Also double the price like 🤦🏼‍♂️

Want to see a bonafide review of the capablilites of the 400x? You gotta watch them Indian motovloggers. I just watched this 5'3" rider ride the 400x to the mountrain top Sandakphu(near Darjeeling) wihich is at 12,000 feet! Entire track is steep and filled with rocks. Not a single bolt loose or failure.

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.

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.

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 👎👎

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 😊👍😂

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 !!
