Awesome review! Best review of the Scrambler 400x I have found. Scenery is beautiful. For those of us that use standard measurements I have included conversions for all measurements in the video. Distance at review- 8000 KM = 4,970.97 miles Ride distance on longest ride - 2500 km = 1553.43 miles speed in 3rd gear without having to downshift - 20-30 kmph = 12-18 mph vibrations noticeable post - 120-130 kmph = 75-80 mph top speed driven - 160 kmph = 99.5 mph (damn Alistair!) idle cruising speed - 90-110 kmph = 56-68 mph Gas mileage max- 33 kmpl = 77.6 mpg city gas mileage - 27-28 kmpl = 63-65 mpg average gas milage - 30-31 kmpl = 70-72 mpg full tank range - 280-300 km = 174-186 miles Service cost - Rs. 4773 - US $57.01 (This is so wildly out of reason in the US I am not converting other currency amounts for the video.) Service lengths - 16,000 km = 9942 miles (Triumph rec.) 10,000 km = 6214 miles (Alistair rec)
PLEASE NOTE: Due to a glitch I missed out on the Triumph Scrambler headlight review. Well the headlight is totally non existent. The stock headlight throw is very poor because of which I had to put on some temporary aux lights, although I will be upgrading to the Maddog Scout X lights soon.
I agree, the headlight is very poor. I am hoping that a replacement or upgrade becomes available as I do not really want to have auxiliary lights. Another problem I find at night is that the instrument display is way too bright. It’s bad enough that a quick glance at it is enough to significantly reduce your night vision momentarily which is very disconcerting.
When I enquired for my scram400x for aux lights in triumph service center, they told they dont have any for this 400 series. "Even installing an aftermarket fog lights would void warranty" is the feedback given by the service center. Did you face this issue/
Good Video brother ❤ even i own a Scramb 400x i've recently completed 8k kms, did a long tour of 4 states nearly 2.7k kms in total i would say the bike didn't gave any single problem (touchwood) totally worth buying as u said there are some negative points we can cover it with after market accessories i toh use it as my daily commuters bike & on highways i get 30kmpl average 😅which is best according to my riding style thank You
Ohh man.....youtube suggested your video...during watching i was thinking that at same location some guy has made review of his Bajaj N250 ...upon scrolling you list i saw that it was you only....after long time you came back on you tube...
Finally made up mind of buying this beauty, actually i was waiting on RE to launch the guerrilla 450 but sadly I'm disappointed,i was hoping the bike would be substantial in size as I'm 6.1 86 kilos but going by the looks guerrilla would be on thr same size as of hunter Getting my delivery on 23rd of this month
It quick in acceleration than spee 400 Its change in fronk sprockets I.e. 14 and 43 Where as Speed has 15 and 43. Thst how a scrambler should be Fantastic machine by triumph..❤
Here's a viewer's feedback - Use a nd filter for minimizing glares and a little lesser contrast while editing, also use some jugaad for making your video more stable.
Do take a proper test ride through different road conditions, that'll help you make the right decision. Always keep one leg on the gear and the leg near the back brake down. In case of turns or full stops. That way you control the stop and launch with front brake. Also offroad riding shoes and the high sole they have would make it easier. @@reubendk
Hey Alistair, great video. Well presented. Would love that video on maintenance, if you could. Looking to get this bike. One question - at 5:02, I love the way the bike looks. Did you remove the back guard (don't know if that's what you call it) for service or maintenance? I would like to modify the bike to look like that and have the number plate attached just at end of back seat. I don't like the stock look of rear end with extended guard. Do you have any ideas or have you seen any videos regarding good modified looks? Thanks.
Thanks! Yes sure, I'll be uploading the maintenance video soon. I've got a tail tidy for my bike so I removed the stock mudguard. Can check my instagram for pics of how it looks. I'll add the description in my next video.
I enjoyed your video , as you and others mentioned I’m interested in your aux light set up . 1200 km’s on mine so far , what’s the tire tread depth like after 8k .
Nice review, I feel the very same. I have recently got one. But could ride 100 km only in ten days because of my govt. job. (The Triumph showroom wherefrom I have purchased the bike during the ₹ 10000 discount offer to my workplace is 400 km approx.) Please do a headlight/auxiliary lght video review, I am yet to ride at night.
Thank you! I haven't faced that issue yet but there's something wrong with my front brake pads, somehow the brake pads material seemed to wear out very fast. Had to change them twice since last month.
Great review bro..what about front brake pad issue that you were faced,did the issue resolved..and did u changed for sintered pads or organic pads are doing good for you??Most of them pointing like brakes aren’t fine..that’s why I’m asking..ur thoughts on brakes..
Nah Triumph SVC didn't get it resolved permanently. For now I'm using KTM Duke 250 organic brake pads. They seem to do the job well for now. I'll have to see how long they last. Will update it in my next video
@@alistair.37 Hi! Great review man. Been wanting to get a bike that can do a bit of everything. I have been confused between Honda 350 RS and Scrambler 400x. One of the issues is the headlight. Does the light throw increase if the headlight grill is removed? Or is it something that shouldn't be removed at all and auxiliary lights should be installed instead? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks !
@@TheDethhead Removing the headlight grill would definitely help to some extent. But that doesn't rule out the need for aux lights. Tbh the headlights shouldn't be a deciding factor on choosing the Scrambler. It's alot more feature loaded and practical over the Honda CB 350 in my opinion. There's a bunch of aux lights in the market that should fix the headlight throw.
Yes of course, it's perfect for highway crusing. Windblast is evident only post 110-120 kmph. Tbh in India we don't have highways that are safe to ride beyond 120 constantly. So it comes down to cruising at around 100-110 which is very comfortable on the Scrambler 400X
Thank you for the review. I too own a Scrambler 400X, and have done my first 1,000 Km on it now. I love it. One thing I noticed though, is that at low speeds - anything below 40 Km/hr - the motorcycle exhibits some jerkiness. It doesn't matter which gear I am on. And this happens on perfectly flat, smooth road surfaces while keeping a steady throttle. It does not go smoothly, but rather continuous back-and-forth jerking, and the slower you go, the more noticeable it is. Is this normal? I am looking for feedback from people who own the bike. Is this a normal single-cylinder behavior, or is there something wrong with my bike? Thank you.
how is the vibration felt firstly between 75-90 kmph, 90-110 and 110-125 Is it at the same league as in many RE 350cc bikes like the hunter, meteor etc. Thanks
I took test ride of scrambler and as pillion I was scared for my life cause every time it felt like I was about to fall behind , as a rider I am already a huge fan of it but just this issue is making me think about it
Hey, please response, Is this comfortable in long tour? how often you had to take breaks? was there any hip numbness or thigh pain during long tour? I own hunter 350 and it is not for long rides. I need another bike for long tours, should I buy this? or Himalayan 450? please tell me how comfortable this bike is. My height is 5'8".
Stalling is a common issue with all the Initial users? what the fcuk does the engineering team listening the test runners or they don't hire professionals..
Hi bro, I really enjoyed this video and learned a lot about this bike. You said you got 27 - 33 kmpl city/Highway mileage. I would like to see a video on how much speed you maintain or any specific rpm you cruise also how do you maintain your bike to get this good mileage. Thanks a lot bro.
@@alistair.37 I'm eagerly waiting for the video bro, mine is arriving next week. It would be veryyy useful if you could post the video earlier. Thank you bro!
Bro I do own scrambler 400x, in my ignition keyhole shutter (magnetic shutter closes when key is not in ignition) is missing, its open as of now. is it a issue in my motorcycle or you also having same key hole.
@@alistair.37 so when key is taken off from the ignition your keyhole closes with shutter? because I asked one more guy he also said key hole is open just wanted to confirm
A very good review brothr 👍🫡 i am also frm goa, I recently bot a gen3 390 duke… and i hv a close frnd who owns a scrambler 400x, hv ridden it a couple of times and I totally agree to all that u spoke abt it in ur review video 👍 triumph has indeed done a fantastic job with its offerings - d speed400 and d scrambler 400x ✌️
Awesome review! Best review of the Scrambler 400x I have found. Scenery is beautiful.
For those of us that use standard measurements I have included conversions for all measurements in the video.
Distance at review- 8000 KM = 4,970.97 miles
Ride distance on longest ride - 2500 km = 1553.43 miles
speed in 3rd gear without having to downshift - 20-30 kmph = 12-18 mph
vibrations noticeable post - 120-130 kmph = 75-80 mph
top speed driven - 160 kmph = 99.5 mph (damn Alistair!)
idle cruising speed - 90-110 kmph = 56-68 mph
Gas mileage max- 33 kmpl = 77.6 mpg
city gas mileage - 27-28 kmpl = 63-65 mpg
average gas milage - 30-31 kmpl = 70-72 mpg
full tank range - 280-300 km = 174-186 miles
Service cost - Rs. 4773 - US $57.01 (This is so wildly out of reason in the US I am not converting other currency amounts for the video.)
Service lengths - 16,000 km = 9942 miles (Triumph rec.) 10,000 km = 6214 miles (Alistair rec)
Standard is metric you nonse
Bro Fuel Tank Range You are Saying 280 to 300 . According to that Mileage is 21 to 22 kmpl
But You Are Saying Mileage is 33 to 31

Amazing review! Please do make a video on how to maintain the bike and when planning for a long trip! Thanks a lot!
Good review brother, I have seen many videos . But your video looked promising among all Scrambler 400x reviews.
Love the way how you give the review.
Lots of love from Nepal
Good sensible review. 👍🏻
Accessories added are limited and purposeful unlike some who add a plethora of accessories that aren't required.
Couldn't agree more to that.
Good Video brother ❤
even i own a Scramb 400x
i've recently completed 8k kms, did a long tour of 4 states nearly 2.7k kms in total i would say the bike didn't gave any single problem (touchwood)
totally worth buying
as u said there are some negative points
we can cover it with after market accessories
i toh use it as my daily commuters bike & on highways i get 30kmpl average 😅which is best
according to my riding style
thank You
Ohh man.....youtube suggested your video...during watching i was thinking that at same location some guy has made review of his Bajaj N250 ...upon scrolling you list i saw that it was you only....after long time you came back on you tube...

True I'm almost as the same proportions as you 6ft and 83 kilos and was really interested in guerilla but anyways I'm saving for the 2025 adv390

Does the visibility of the instrument console/ display is much lower/hard to observe on the go...?
Watching you ride tokd me all i need to know about the handling. 👍
Nice presentation 👏👏👏, looking forward to watch similar videos in future ,keep it up
