I own a Scrambler 400x and each time when i give the throtlle i just smile. Its that fun!🎉 It gives feel of big bike without compromising the nimbleness of a commutor. As mentioned in the video, the major issues is headlight. Along with it, the bike gets easily dirty even during very mild rains. Happy to be Scrambler 400x rider 🎊
@@sanjaymv4975 Well said 😄 Regarding the dirty part, it’s the nature of all adventure and scrambler bikes owing to the long travel suspension and tall mudguards. It’s fun when you go off road and play in the dirt 😋
@@AbhishekDaniel yea true. Coming from a RTR 160, the power feels more than sufficient. The versatility of this bike should make it a perfect choice for single bike garage owners!
Btw, Do you have any plan to install Vaishnu Headlight on the Scrambler 400x? I heard it's good in terms of throw of light.
@@sanjaymv4975 I have it installed on my Himalayan and it's great. It wasn't available for the Scrambler at that time and hence went for the Maddog.
Regarding the Dirty part only RE Classic design can beat that if you see the mudguard.
I love my 400x, have had it for 5 weeks and ive done 2000kms so far. Good work with the videos!
Thank you 🙂
what is your height bro. i felt difficult while turning in city traffics during multiple test drive
@@idnanda I am 5'9. It's less about height and more about the inseams I believe. But really, its just a matter of giving it time. On the test right you can never fully get it but over time it becomes easier. It was a matter of couple of weeks, which isn't to say that I am not careful even now
@@idnanda I’m 5’5” and owner is 5’4”. I recommend off training. You’ll be able to ride tall bikes with ease.
Just a suggestion man remove that background music. It makes the content chaprik 😑
Will do 👍🏻
Seriously man it’s annoying😩
@@abhishekghagare757 sorry 😬
Bro bgm Is high make it lower
@@saisuren6488 yes will definitely do 😬
All the pros and cons mentioned here in this video are correct, i own a scrambler 400x, its a awesome machine
Yes it is 😎
Should I go for it? Are Triumph thinking of fixing some of the issues mentioned?
@@aptpatten That you should ask Triumph I guess 😅 And none of the issues mentioned are deal breakers and I've mentioned solutions to many of them.
Mahn, love your videos.
Very minimal usage of clips and pure commentary. Too good
Thanks a lot ☺️
After sitting on the Watchlist for 4 hours, watching the video just before going to bed was totally worth it.
Thanks for sharing your experience in detail.
Great content as usual...
Thanks a lot ☺️
Just took the delivery of My scrambler 400X today. Awesome bike. Now waiting for 1000 KM first service to open up it for long rides
Congrats 🥂 Happy riding 🙂
You can still do long rides now. It is better go on a 400km trip and get the services done. I know you can not rev hard but 5K RPM is enough for touring. Congrats by the way.
@@soloqVenu thanks buddy
Am booked today 😂
Receiving delivery next week. Excited 🤩🤩🤩
Such a underatted utuber😢
Thank you 🙂
Great review video bro! I took a test drive of Scrambler 400x couple of days back and really loved its well tuned suspension compared to my Hunter 350 and also enjoyed the power delivery. As you said the choppy throttle is something to get used to. The only thing holding me back to make the switch from my Hunter to 400x is dealer/service network. Residing in a tier 2 city like Trivandrum, there is only one dealer and a service center attached to it, and they happen to be on the other end of the city from where I am residing. More than accessibility, the concern I have is the quality of service, if it is below average, then there is no other option. I think that’s where RE has the advantage. I bought my Hunter 350 2 years back and so far it has not given my any major issue, still accessing the service center is very easy and they also offer pick and drop facility in case you don’t have time to take it for the scheduled service. But when I enquired about any such pick/drop facility at Triumph, the salesman said they do not have such facility.
I don’t face such issue since Bangalore itself has 10 centres now and they are expanding rapidly. The one we go to is almost 30km from where we live. And you might know how much time it takes for a 30km ride in Bangalore city. But we still chose the scrambler and the service quality has been excellent so far compared to RE which in Bangalore is beyond pathetic. Moreover the bike is so reliable and service intervals are so far apart that we don’t need to visit the centres often like how we need to do with RE. So there’s no point in having a centre nearby to where you live. RE bikes are unreliable and hence you need more centres and even then they do a pathetic job. It’s coming from my experience of owning a bullet and Himalayan. I’m finally moving from RE in a month. Coming to the choppy throttle - I’ve put a solution video to it yesterday. Check it out.
And where from Trivandrum are you? I’m from Nanthencode 🙂
@@AbhishekDaniel Thank you very much for your reply. Glad to know that you are from Trivandrum! I stay at Kazhakuttom.
Yeah, I can imagine how the 30km ride in Bangalore city would be. In that context, the distance I said in Trivandrum is nothing at all! From Kazhakuttom it will take only around 30 minutes to reach the Triumph store.
I fully agree with you on the RE service quality. The reason I started thinking about switching to another motorcycle from Hunter is mainly due to its stiff rear suspension, which makes the ride unsettled at the slightest undulation on the road. In contrast, 400X was superb. In addition, Hunter's compact dimension, makes me feel cramped, but 400X felt spacious.
I will surely check the video on the throttle. Will also check your video on the starting issue you mentioned. I had read a post in Team Bhp about one 400X owner's ordeal with that.
@ Thank you for your response. Glad to know you are from Trivandrum! I am staying at Kazhakuttom.
Yeah, I can imagine how it would be to ride 30 kms in Bangalore traffic. In that context, it is not an issue at all in Trivandrum to access the Triumph service center.
The main reason I am thinking of switching to Scrambler 400X from my Hunter 350 is due to the stiff suspension set up of Hunter which is ok on a perfectly paved road, but the moment you get on to a bad patch of road the ride will be unsettled even at the slightest undulation on the road affecting your confidence and comfort. You will be forced to significantly slow down to maintain some form of comfort. Also its compact dimensions, though an advantage in maneuvering in tight spaces, makes me feel cramped, especially on long rides while wearing riding boots. In contrast, 400X suspension set up was superb, it felt like gliding over road imperfections without unsettling the bike or passing any shocks to the rider. Also its rider triangle felt comfortable and spacious.
Will surely check your video on the choppy throttle. Also will look for your video on the starting issue you mentioned in this video. Read a post in team bhp as well about a 400X owner’s ordeal with starting and stalling issues.
@@speedlites Why don't you try swapping the hunter's suspension with classic 350 suspension? many have done it here and found it to be very effective. Yes Scrambler's suspension is superb but it has its downsides too. It becomes too bouncy at high speeds and doesn't give much traction when you go aggressive on off road terrain. But at cruising speeds it's like a magic carpet and glides along. So if suspension is your main concern, then I guess swapping the hunter's will solve your issue. But if rider's triangle is the main concern, then yes the Scrambler is far spacious, comfortable and superior to Hunter.
I didn't face any stalling issues so far. They had it in in the initial batch but resolved it with a software update. I guess these people who complain of such issues are mostly coming from smaller capacity bikes or RE bikes. Scrambler is a short stroke engine and it performs best when ridden in midrange to higher RPMs. Trying to ride it like a 100cc commuter or a RE bike will make it stall. It's not a flaw.
Starting issue was with the engine immobiliser because of the faulty installation of aux lamps by the accessory shop guys. Got it rectified by Triumph and from then on I give it only to them for installing any electrical accessory.
@@AbhishekDaniel Thank you very much for clarifying on the starting and stalling issues. You may be right with regard to the stalling issue, mostly it may be the riding style which is causing it. As for the starting issue, came across a video by Big Bear Customs, they also confirmed that the issue is resolved with the ECU update. So these are not concerns any more :)
I have seen the suggestion of swapping the rear suspension with Classic 350's. Have not done it yet as I am concerned though it may improve the ride quality, will it have a negative impact on handling?
Hunter's compact dimension is useful in city commutes, it becomes bit cramped on long distance travel, especially with the riding gear. In that sense, 400X was a perfect match for my height and felt very comfortable and spacious. Though I did only a short test ride of 10 kms. If I am planning to buy one, will surely do a longer test drive.
Great content bro. Look forward to more videos on your 400x!
Thank you 🙂
Excellent work ❤
Thanks 🙂
I'm from the USA and working for Reliance in Dahej for a while. Hopefully Christmas day I can pick up a Scrambler. I was going to take a used bike but the prices are too high. Will be my first new bike.
All the best 🙂 Scrambler will not disappoint
@AbhishekDaniel Should be good for puttering around India. Back home I have a KTM 990SMR supermoto for some fun! Anyway, it's good that India has more affordable decent bikes like this Scrambler. Can't buy such things in the USA.
@ but I’m guessing you’ll find the lower cc motorcycles boring compared to the one you own 😅 anyways there ain’t roads decent enough for the big bikes here. And I think manufacturers like Triumph, RE and KTM are shipping these smaller cc bikes worldwide now
@AbhishekDaniel I guess I meant bikes like the 400X Scrambler are now getting to the US, but their cost is now at least 40% higher. Maybe the "newness" will wear off and US prices will drop. What I do know is we can only buy junky Chinese moto's for what I'm paying for a new 400X in India.
@@AbhishekDaniel I prefer 500-600cc engines on dirt and dual sport bikes, but the 400X will suit my needs here. Something to get away from my hotel so I don't feel imprisoned. I don't need to be doing 150mph speed runs. At home I have a street legal Honda XR650R. That's a fun bike since you can jump over things in your way. But not comfortable for longer rides.
Proud scrambler 400x owner ❤

Bro please lower the background music 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
from next video onwards definitely 😅
@@AbhishekDanielthanks for the speedy response (unlike only during office hours ) 😊 😂
@@sr_sherlock haha you're welcome 😄
It is advised to not go above 4k RPM before first servicing. But every time I can't control myself to unleash its power. Just an amazing machine
I feel you bro 👊
Very nicely done, thank you bro!
You're welcome 🙂
Booked this Thursday. Should be available anytime this week…
Congrats 🥂
Very informative ✨
Thank you 🙂
Excellent analysis, I completely agree with everything that has been said.There is the possibility to improve the suspensions as an offroad , in reality in front it is 130 mm ,no 150 mm ,you can improve if you buy suspensions Rally raid product , but In reality, it's a very light bike that can do a lot of things that big trail bikes can't do.
Even though the travel is less compared to adventure bikes, I haven’t been able to bottom out the front suspension yet. And for trails, a light weight bike with such power is anytime more fun than its big counterparts.
I own a scrambler and I had a small crash where the bike just fell down to the left side, but to my surprise the the handle bar, handle bar holder and the t-stem took a shake and had a bend on them. The estimate came out to staggering 16k for just a fall, to my luck the insurance covered the charges.
man! I'm so sorry to hear that! I had a very similar incident with my Himalayan 411 when I fell onto soft mud on an off road trail and it cost me 13k but luckily had it covered under insurance. I guess it's all a matter of luck sometimes 🤕
Thanks for this.
You’re welcome 🙂
I'm so confused between the Honda CB350RS and the 400X. I'm in love with both the machines. Your every video confuses me even more 😂 Great content though.
Both are very different motorcycles 😅 Thank you 🙂
@@AbhishekDaniel Could you give me some pointers to help me decide? City commute and occasional long tours is my requirement. 400X is over my budget but my mind keeps going back to thinking to spend a little more to get a more versatile bike than the Honda.
@@enits1712 I purchased scrambler due to lovely handling...peppy performance & plush suspension..honda will be costlier to own due to full oil change twice a year
@@enits1712 only a test ride can help you decide 😅
@@aloknsit The mileage difference would make up the cost difference I guess.
Scrambler 400x is an awesome machine for sure i recently did South India tour of 2000kms
Every mile it put a smile on my face for sure.
It might not be con but minor inconvenience of the motor cycle is its a dirt magnet ( May be the tires are designed in such a way to spit out dirt/water) but in rainy days you cant take pillion riders. And even if you are riding slowly your shoes are going to get dirty.
And there is no oem tire hugger to reduce this.
As you said dirt spillage on a bike designed to go off road with tall suspension and high mudguards isn’t a con. It’s the character of such dirt/adventure/scrambler motorcycles. Just have to get used to it and installing tyre huggers in such bikes are a hazard.
You can check this channel called DNA VLOGS. There he shows a best fit tyre hugger for scrambler.
@@AbhishekDanielagreed
@@karma6762 I won’t recommend such tyre huggers. I had one installed on my Himalayan. During one off road ride when my rear suspension bottomed out, the hugger got hit and jammed the brakes and bend my disc rotor. Many experts I talked to shared similar experiences and none of them recommend installing an aftermarket tyre hugger. There’s a reason manufacturers designs such motorcycles without a hugger and we better stick to it.
Good video! Here in Brazil this kind of RSA benefit is just a dream… nothing near to that from the bike industry. We have to pay insurance companies to offer us something like that!
I’m sorry. That’s sad to hear. Here almost every company offers RSA and it’s kind of like a mandatory thing. Hopefully your situation will improve as the motorcycle industry expands.
i am from Delhi Dwarka, here new showroom and service center, .. they are very nice they will tell price before doing the work so we can understand the structure they offers water coffee just need to drop the bike in entrance, they offer pick up drop service, for free, i feel better as i am coming from Royal Enfield .
Exactly bro! I feel you! In RE we are treated like shit. They don’t give a shit about the customers and it’s been the same experience in 4 different centres in Bangalore. Triumph is the complete opposite. They do a great job in servicing, addressing the issues and the communication is also excellent. Feels welcomed coming from RE to Triumph
On my way to take delivery of my scambler 400x while watch this video.
Congrats on the new ride 🙂
1:02 "there are no unnecessary noises coming from any part of the engine" .Only RE owners can understand that😂
Very true 🥲 *no chassis or tappets were harmed in making this video*
@@AbhishekDaniel 😂😂
Hey, I am average rider and after my daughter turned 10 now, really want to shed that scooty girly feeling and want to get a good bike to turn around and skip the decade. But seems so many things got upgraded in this last 10yrs. I am bit confused between 400x and himalayan 451, will do average riding in city and will start going on highways for 50-100kms trips. Himalayan for looks and suspension is my 1st choice, but for quality and nimbleness Speed 400x seems gr8 choice...Bit confused since 6months now..
@@kapilkhedekar6584 take test rides of both back to back
Hi Bro..I sense u do alot city riding than highways so better go for scram as first choice himmy450 ll not be tat great for city rides..and if u r simple cool guy in nature then u can prefer Honda CB350 RS ..
Finally think which fits well for your purpose n your pocket rather getting addicted to these hypes 😊
Good Luck Bro..Safe riding
Bro you are such a happy boy owning the 400x that you missed few other cons as well. Being an owner myself and being a big fanboy of this spectacular range of bikes just as you, I cant help but notice some niggles in the overall experience owning one of this.
All the pros are somewhat I agree with you apart from the choking issue that you mentioned as it comes a little early for me at somewhere between a 85-90 kmph. That feels to be the perfect cruising speed as far as I have experienced. Although I am being much taller and heavier than you. I think it is obvious.
About the cons I would like to add the mud catching propensity of the bike. As it can easily be termed as a "Dirt magnet". Anywhere you go on a little water poodle or a little dirt, the bike catches a lot if dirt on the back side which is exposed as a result the lubrication of the chain gets affected and every now and then it has to be lubed to help us get a smooth drive . Triumph should have addressed this issue.
Aoart from this my experience of owning this motorcycle is as joyous and fun-filled as yours.
I feel the choky feeling is an issue related to the lean emission norms. My Himalayan had the same issue but got rectified with BMC air filter and FuelX Pro. Since the bike is fairly new, I’m waiting till the the second service to install these mods. But if u push past the 6000 rpm, it gets smooth. I’ve cruised on the highways at 120-130kmph and it’s butter smooth.
The dirt magnet thing I completely disagree. You have bought an off road oriented motorcycle that has long suspension travel and tall mud guards. Attracting dirt is a character of every adventure or scrambler motorcycle. If that was an issue, you should’ve gone for a road oriented bike like the Speed 400. There’s nothing wrong in the Scrambler or my Himalayan attracting dirt and even throwing it on your face when we go off road riding. It’s fun in a way 😄
@@AbhishekDanielWell even the speed is a dirt magnet 😂 And regarding the mud throwing nature it could have been made a bit better atleast to the levels of himalayan 450. Its a scrambler with road use as its primary focus. My family got both the himmy and scrambler. Himlayan does way better when it comes to the mud splash issue. The mud splash issue is definitely a con for majority of the scrambler users as its evident inthe owners group. People are trying all types of tyre huggers as well but still its useless.
@@R4v3N007 I have a Himalayan 411 and compared to that Scrambler is way better! 411 throws mud everywhere including the rear shocks and your body. Himalayan 450 may be better in that aspect but sucks in terms of throttle response and engine refinement. IMO users who complain so much about mud splash shouldn't go for bikes with tall suspension. It's not a flaw, it's the character of the motorcycle. I've seen people complain in the forums about engine "overheating" issues as well. They expect a 400cc single cylinder to run like a 100c Honda Shine in a country with average temperature of 35 degree celcius 😂
@@AbhishekDaniel Dont get me wrong I despise the himalayan as well on the engine part🤣 The amount of gear shifting required in bangalore traffic on a himalayan 450 is unbearable for me. The only positives I found on the himmy was this mud splash protection, the room for pillion on the backseat and the highway performance. People like me and majority of the guys I saw on forums/groups are people who want a bike which is great for indian roads. Even though we dont do any offroading the indian pothhole filled roads are more than enough for the off road experience. And like i said a scrambler is primarily road focused bike, so it doesnt make sense how a himmy does better on this mud splash front. And the higher suspension travel also is not a factor since the speed with lower suspension travel also suffers from the same mud splash issue. The rear mud flap near the suspension is utterly useless, even went for the mid splash protection kit and still its the same. I heard they are coming with a new design for the protection kit as well. So for sure not many people are happy with this issue and triumph is aware of the same. You maybe inthe minority who enjoys the mud, but the fact remains. Regarding the other issues you mentioned I agree people should expect those when buying a 400cc bike.
@@R4v3N007 👍🏻
I am crazy confused right now! I am using xpulse 4v 2022 for last two years and have used it 45k kms. Because I ride fast not crazy fast (always ensure safety) but I am always the fastest on the road unless a big engine comes heavily revving. Currently using Xpulse for my office commute which is 100km each day (both sides with 80km highway). Because of my highway high speed riding xpulse is constantly and frequently breaking down. Last time was scary, my engine case blasted and tires got locked at 115kmph. Missed a major accident by an inch, thankfully I was all geared up and thankfully didn’t fall. It was serviced just 2k km back with engine oil changed. And 3k km back, engine chamber was replaced die to oil leakage issue. Now I just want a heavily reliable motorcycle which can cruise at 125-130 at ease all day as I really want to resume my tours as well.
Currently thinking of interceptor but because of Xpulse I just can’t ignore the comfort of a long travel suspension hence, considering Himalayan 450 as well. Also, thinking of Duke 390 but not sure of it’s reliability. And budget is also a but tight, so may also consider used market options for interceptor or duke 390.
Can anyone help me to make up my mind here? Interceptor (currently my top preference), Himalayan (deeply in love but can’t trust the new engine), Duke 390 (slightly out of budget), lastly, scrambler 400x (sounds promising but service network issue, new engine’s reliability is hard to digest)
Stop torturing your Xpulse 😂 Anyways considering your use case scenario I’d suggest you to go with KTM ADV 390. High revving sporty engine with long travel suspension. If you can wait for few more months, they have a 2 new redesigned versions coming up which looks promising. Regarding reliability, Triumph and KTM are way ahead of RE.
@@AbhishekDaniel Thank you so much for this advise. Found a good condition used interceptor, so going with that for now, else, would go for adv 390. 😃
@@Revvy01 Congrats! Interceptor is a good choice. Happy riding 🙂
I am planning to own one... since that you are replying to each and every comment(appreciate it bro).. thought on checking on three points 1. Is it ok for daily commute 2. Do we feel vibrations 3. How to control that dirt part since i want this for daily commute... thanks mate
1. It’s good for city commute. Very easy to manoeuvre.
2. Vibrations are very subjective. Coming from a Himalayan, it’s very smooth but compared to a scooter, it’ll vibrate. It’s personal preference. Both the above points can be answered with a test ride.
Scrambler is a motorcycle intended for off road purposes also. Every bike with off road intentions will have long travel suspension and tall mud guards. Dirt splash is inevitable. You have to get used to it. It’s the character of such motorcycle.
If your primary intention is commute, then speed 400 would be the better choice.
Pls do a review of the reise tyres on your scrambler 400x
Will do
@AbhishekDaniel waiting ❤️
Keep up the honesty and transparency of your review of your scrambler 400x. If someone asks me about my scrambler 400x, I would share the same views except for the servicing part. I was charged ₹5400 during my first service for oil & coolant top up, brake pad & lever change and getting the chain lubed. I am not sure if I was charged right. So i was just wondering which service center in Bangalore did you give the scrambler to?
For my 1st service, they charged me 2056 RS.
I changed my brake pads to sintered ones when the stock organic ones ran out. It costed me 3000 RS for that.
I service at Khivraj Whitefield. I think it cost you 5k because you included the brake pad change. I changed the pad only when the first one wore out and it was sometime after the first service. If I had combined both then maybe bill would’ve come up to 5k
@@AbhishekDaniel makes sense 👍
Amazing content ❤
Is there any issues you facing by the 835mm seat height? You have already mentioned that you are 5.5" , will it be comfortable? ( I'm 5.6")
Height doesn’t matter. Riding tall bikes is a skill that can be easily acquired with few days of off road training and practice. The owner is 5.4’ and she rides it like a charm now. Ik people who are 5.3’ and rides it like any other bike while people who are close to 6’ struggle because of lack of skills.
@AbhishekDaniel yeah absolutely 😁
I rode him 450 , and it was very comfortable even at 840 seat height.
But adv 390 at 855mm felt bit struggled for pushing from parkings even it is light weight than Himalayan.
Next Scram should be tested 😌
@ you might’ve tried to push it with both legs on the ground simultaneously which is not how you should do with tall bikes. One foot is all that’s needed to manoeuvre. Again it’s a skill which can be developed with practice. I’ve felt the ADV to be the easiest among all others because of its light weight while the Himalayan the hardest
@@AbhishekDaniel okay bro,sadly i didn't own one of thes, (owns a LORD Honda shine😂🤣)
But ,will upgrade soooooooon....🥹
Great video! Which tyres did you upgraded too?
Reise Trail R
Wonderful explanation of your ownership thus far, Abishek.
One question, I'm taking my delivery next week and planning to bring it ~350 kms to where i work after a day or two. I will go over the owner's manual. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Congrats 🥂 Happy riding 🙂 Follow the service advisor’s instructions for the run in period.
@@AbhishekDaniel Thank you. Sure. Cheers!
Hello bro would u recommend this over the interceptor 650??
It’ll be based on your use case scenario. Both are very different bikes
@AbhishekDaniel I'm looking for majority city commuting nd mild touring which one would serve the purpose
@ then I don’t think either would be a good choice. Something like HD 440X or the RE 350s would be better
Thank you for sharing your experience Abhishek. I have some doubts. what about pillion comfort? If I want to take my wife on tours on this one, is this a good choice? Can it cruise at 120? I will be using this for touring mostly. My wife and I are below 60 kgs weight and slim. Or if you think there is a better option?
Sorry for the long list of questions. Thank you in advance.
@@nikhilnegi4286 For touring with pillion comfort in mind, I’d suggest you go for Himalayan 450
I drove around a 90 km long on the scram with pillion. Return I sat behind the way well i can say I had no issue with the pillion rider when I was cruising with 80-90. I think it's best with pillion rider 120+ was risky, well coming to comfort i didn't move a bit it's non stop ride I didn't feel any issue with the stock seat. It all depends on the pillion one.
Thank you Buddy.
Brother I'm confused between goerrila 450 vs scambler 400x can you suggest me which one is good
I haven’t ridden Guerilla so I don’t know how it is. And both are totally different bikes for different purposes. Take test rides
What about pillion comfort for long rides? Thanks
Haven’t ridden pillion on long rides so I’m not sure
Excellent Video ... One query - From which Triumph Dealer did you buy and did all Servicing. I am from Bengaluru
If you could share the Dealership Name and location, it would be very helpful.
Thank you for uploading such an informative video
Khivraj, Whitefield
can you test ride Royal Enfield's Guerrilla 450 and give us your honest opinion? I am torn between Scrambler 400x vs. Guerrilla 450 and would love a video from someone unbiased.
Both are totally different bikes in terms of its purpose. Guerilla is a roadster and I'm not into road oriented bikes. I'm more into Adventure bikes and Scramblers because I love off road. Guerilla and Speed 400 would be a good comparison but after test riding the Himalayan, I can say that Triumph's engine refinement is miles ahead of the Sherpa 450.
@@AbhishekDaniel thank you for your opinion!
@@AndyBakos82 You're welcome 🙂
Hey!
Loved your video!! But i have one question like can we update the ecu while taking the delivery? As you & other people mentioned about the stalling issues?
I didn’t mention any stalling issue 😅 They’ll update the ECU before delivery
@@AbhishekDaniel Okay, Thank You!!!
Bro, i own a scrambler 400x , in your thumbnail, i see upgraded tyres, i am looking for a set for mine bike aswell, can you please share the details of the upgrade and your views on the performance after upgrade?
That’s Reise Trail R tyres. We upgraded just for the Ladakh trip. It’s great for off road but not good for touring. Will put a detailed review soon.
I'm confused between the speed 400 and the scrambler 400. I enjoy the sporty nature and ergonomics of the speed and enjoy hitting the corners but the scrambler suspension is a little more plush. The brakes were horrible in the scrambler though. But the scrambler looks cooler and has more presence. For general city use and occasional touring which bike do you suggest? Plus is the scrambler worth the extra money while the speed can do everything the scrambler does to a lesser extent except the off road stuff, while being better to drive on the roads?
If u enjoyed riding the speed, go for it. Don’t go for a bike just for looks or presence.
@AbhishekDaniel Thanks for the reply. I also liked the suspension of the scrambler. But I'm not sure on how big of an advantage it would provide on bad roads compared to the speed. I guess ergonomics are the main differentiating factor between the two.
Hello, could you please provide information on the mileage of the Scrambler 400X? I've owned my Scrambler for 9 months now, and I've noticed that the fuel efficiency has decreased from 28.5 km/l to 22 km/l. Is this a common issue, or should I take it to the service center for a check?
We get about 28 kmpl in the city and 32 on the highways. If there's a drop in mileage, have it checked.
Thanks for the suggestion, @AbhishekDaniel!
Hey man, i own an ADV 390 but tempted to switch to scrambler 400X, your thoughts on this?? Saw your other video with ADV 390 vs Himalayalan vs Scrambler 400X
I don’t think it’s an upgrade over ADV. Riding character is different but otherwise pretty much everything else is the same.
@@AbhishekDaniel ideally i am not looking for an upgrade but an more practically usable bike in city with traffic.
@@apexpredator2277 I’m not sure what added advantage you’ll have in city over ADV. both are light enough to manage in traffic but Scrambler has more low end torque which it makes it slightly easier in the city. For commuting why don’t you look for scooters and keep your ADV for everything else?
@@AbhishekDaniel yea, the low end torque and the less buzzing is what's pushing me towards the scrambler 400x. already have a scooter, but the back's no that happy with regular scooter commute ( i have to travel 40kms up and down with pretty bad roads and traffic). The other big reason is my ADV is mostly sitting idle since a year.
@@apexpredator2277 have you considered the speed 400? It’d make a better commuter than Scrambler I think

Can you make a video of all the required tool kit for this bike? I am trying to create a tool kit but i don't have much of experience .
@@vrushabhpatil5250 you don’t need a toolkit as long as you do regular maintenance from the service center. All you need is a good paddock stand, chain cleaner, brush and a chain lube

@@mithunravikumar6482 Khivraj Whitefield, Bangalore
I 100% agree with headligh, well driven the bike at 10:30pm i missed a pot hole i couldn't see it properly the length also not that good, i shoud get some aftermarket lights but daym those are costly 😑
Yes they are costly but better be safe than sorry. The stock headlights are so bad that you are risking an accident every time you ride at night.
Hi Abhishek. Can you please share city and highway fuel efficiency figures that you have experienced on the Scrambler 400x?
City around 29 and highways around 32 kmpl
Bro I just bought this beautiful machine one week ago and I just completed 400kms and I want to ask some question , if you can answer please...
1. I want to get the PPF Coating on tank, should i get it done from showroom or karol bagh ?
2. Mine is giving 17 kms per litre average is same case happened with you ?
3. If I install the extra light from karol bagh or any other after market, Will the 5 year warranty become void ?
4. In rainfall season whole my back suspension and tyres gets muddy , what should I install ?
5. what should I do to increase my average atleast 25 kms p litre
1. I don’t think showroom will do ppf and I don’t know where’s Karol Bagh 😅
2. Wait till first service. Mileage improves after first service
3. Regarding warranty, please consult your triumph service advisor
4. Scrambler is an off road oriented motorcycle. Every off road bike will have tall suspension and tail mud guards. Mud slash is inevitable and it’s the character of such bikes. You have to get used to it. Don’t instal unnecessary whee huggers as they are a hazard.
@@AbhishekDaniel Thanku so much bro, You have solved my much queries.......

For city ride I wouldn’t suggest both. HD 440X would be a better choice.

Hi Abhishek,
any issue with the bike pulling to the right when handlebar is not held ? Apart from it, how's the moto torque crash guard ?
No pulling issue. Crashguard so far so good. Has sustained soft falls on dirt track.
Hi, may I know how much they charged for the brake pad change?
Around 2000 INR for the sintered pad and 200 for the labour charge
@@AbhishekDaniel thank you, great and informative video by the way

My main focus area should be commuting and some long rides. Will it be suitable for me, and what is the mileage it gives in the city? I am 5.11, so it would be suitable for me to commute. I am confused between choosing Himalayan 450 or Triump 400x

Hi…Which service center did you get it serviced at in Bangalore?
Khivraj Whitefield
Would you recommend Zana crash gaurd, I have company fitted leg and engine gaurd, however they were not very effective in Zanskar Laddakh off road trip. Please suggest
I have installed Mototorque crash guard and it works good. However, installing any after market crash guard should be made with full discretion especially after chassis breakage incidents on other motorcycles.
What’s your view on gurella 450 & ns400 when compared to 400x?
I haven't test ridden both so I don't know
Where did you do the dirty trail runs?BTW We both bought the bike from the same dealership.

Hey brother which bike would you recommend for family as per your experience hness 350 / speed 400 or scrambler 400x or any other bike?
I test ride both the bikes but still confused. Any suggestions?
I chose the Scrambler 400x for its touring and off road capabilities. I’m not sure about family use case scenario. I think Highness will better suit your requirements. But for family purpose there are better bikes than these 3.
@@AbhishekDaniel so which brand of bike would you suggest?
@@abbassayyad31 I don’t know bro. I haven’t test ridden any other bikes 😅 I’m not a family guy so I tend to go for other purpose oriented bikes. I’m not much aware of other bikes suited for family rides. But brand wise I think Honda should be good in terms of refinement and reliability.
@@AbhishekDaniel okay brother no problem 😅 by the way nice content keep it up 👍
Bro what about mileage
Around 28 in city and 32 in highway
what about radiator noise ?
What noise? I don’t hear any noise
Heyy bro can you please do a quick review on Royal Enfield gorilla 450? I am just very confused between triumph and Royal Enfield gorilla, 450
It’s not my type of motorcycle. I’m more of an off road and touring user so Guerilla doesn’t fit my use case scenario. Take a test ride and I’m sure it’ll clear up the confusion. But personally I’d go with the Triumph over RE just for the reliability and refinement.
@@AbhishekDaniel okay thanks broo
I'm 6'2" beginner. Could this be a good bike for me? I find the Himalayan 450 too much as a beginner. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I don’t recommend any 400 cc bikes to a beginner. Start with the 200cc class and skill your way up
@AbhishekDaniel okay. I hardly fit on any bike though. Any recommendations?
@ try the xpulse rally pro. It’s a beast of a machine and i think it’ll suit your height
@@AbhishekDaniel thanks man! I'm gonna try that. ⚡️
Bro why did u change the crash guard? Were the old one's not good?
Old ones are excellent. But during trail riding mototorque slider on the crash guards provide enough room between the ground and the bike so that our leg won’t get stuck under the bike in case of a fall. That’s why we went for it.
which one do you suggest bro@@AbhishekDaniel
which one do you have, moto torque?
@@Harshaaaaaa1022 yes
Hi Abhishek , I am happy to say that I been following you channel from long and you are right person to clarify me .,
I am confused , Should I go for Honda CB350( classic Model ) or Scrambler 400x ., I don't know my usage , But as of now most of my riding is high ways and City rides ., Main moto to change vehicle is to do long rides and monsoon rides ., , this will be my long lasting bike that I would wish to change ., Any suggestions would be appreciated
If there’s no off road usage then CB350 would be better

Which service centre do you visit in Bangalore?
Khivraj Whitefield
Hi. For a relatively short rider (5'7") howz it to manage in B2B city traffic.
And the heating and suspension in city roads. East Blore has.pathetic roads. And my scooter isn't cutting it.
Had a Speed booking but kinda put it on hold, due to heating which I xprncd on the TD Bike.
1. Short or tall, riding tall bikes is a skill u can easily develop by attending off road training. If not interested in training, take test rides. Comfort levels vary from person to person. I’m 5’5” and owner is 5’4” and we don’t have any issues because we have taken training but there are ppl close to 6’ in the comments complaining about not having flat foot.
2. Every single cylinder mid weight capacity motorcycle generate a lot of heat. It’s completely absolutely normal. Especially in a country like ours where average temperatures are high. If it’s not comfortable for you, either you have to get used to it or drop the plan of owning one. I’m very sure the speed 400 you test rode would’ve been absolutely fine.
@@AbhishekDaniel Thnx a ton. For the detailed explanation.
Btw, you didn't dwell on the suspension question which I'd asked.
Do the jerks (from the potholes, flyover joints, illegal speedbreakers) travel upwards to your spine and neck?
I did experience them disturbing the ride in the Hness CB 350. The Scrambler want available for a TD yet.
@@srinathkaushik Scrambler's suspension is very soft and plush. It glides over bumps and potholes. It's not suited for spirited riding at high speeds but definitely suited for broken roads and off road. Get a test ride. It's available in all Triumph showrooms.
I am looking forward to buy a 400cc bike. But from the perspective of my comfort and budget I had scrambler 400x and dominar 400 on the list. But I'm confused if dominar is a right choice as the older machine, and if scrambler is good as it is just launched machine. Anyone has any suggestions?
I’ve used the Dominar and compared to it, Scrambler is miles ahead in terms of refinement and low end torque. Yes dominar is quite outdated and even though scrambler was launched a year back, people have already completed 10kms on it and are very happy with it
Which one would you recommend, speed 400 or scrambler 400?
People are telling brakes on scrambler is not good compared to speed.
Suggestion: Reduce the volume of the background music.
Solution to braking issue I’ve mentioned in the video. Kindly refer the video.
I don’t know your use case scenario so I can’t recommend which bike. For me it’s the scrambler since my use case scenario involves off road.
Sorry for the loud volume. I’ll reduce it in upcoming videos
Mileage?
Depends
show the bike, how it looks, we want to see more of the bike
See my Scrambler accessories video
I think you forget to add another major disadvantage and that is the mud throw. It’s a nightmare in rainy seasons. Although it’s expected from a naked/scrambler bike but they should have at least given an option of hugger. Even their mud splash accessories are pretty useless.
I just finished replying to someone with your same opinion. I completely disagree to your point. Mud splash is almost inevitable for motorcycles designed for some off road purpose. Dirt/Adventure/Scrambler bikes have tall suspension and high rise mudguards that will never do the same job of a street or sports motorcycle. It's the character of such motorcycles and not a flaw. If you are very bothered by it, don't go for such motorcycles. Go for a street naked or a sports tourer instead. And installing tyre huggers are a hazard in such bikes. I learned it the hard way on my Himalayan and I wouldn't recommend it.
Hello.. I am planning to buy scrambler 400x but issue is my height Five feet six inch so am i able to handle the bike specially in Off road ??
Height doesn’t matter. I’m 5.5” and the owner is 5.4”. All you need is to attend off training and you’ll be able to ride tall bikes easily. Don’t let your height dictate which bike you ride. Skill up and you’ll be able to enjoy all bikes.
@@AbhishekDaniel ok thnx
whats the tyre pressure that u maintain
as per owner's manual. it's written on the chain cover as well.
Can u please suggest which handle bar u upgrade in scrambler, I am not able to find that video u uploaded
Handle bar is the stock one only.
Heard that led indicators gets foggy don't you face that issue?
Nope
Can reduce height on this
No
My Triumph scrambler’s first service is due in the next couple of days.. could you please let me know which service center you would recommend? I’m looking for a reliable and quality service center in Bangalore.

How are those Tyres , seeing them many in many influencers bike
Excellent for off road and ok for road. They are making our Ladakh trip immensely easier. Will make a review about it after our trip.
Is 5'6'' rider height good enough to ride this bike in cities?
Height doesn’t matter to ride tall bikes. It’s just a matter of developing a skill and it’s simple. Off road training helps a lot.
Are you getting annoying sound or chain sound while doing off road or commuting bike over any potholes?
nope. i think you need to adjust the chain slack
@@AbhishekDaniel I have adjusted it multiple times but not getting rid from this annoying issue
@@abhishekbartwal4607 Is it cleaned and lubed regularly? If yes you shouldn’t have the issue. If it persists, consult the service center
