I'm from the southern US and we speak slow around here. It is really hard for me to understand everything Bulu is saying, but the message comes across loud and clear. He loves his Scramble 400 as much as I love mine.
Completed 2000 kms on my Scrambler 400x. It's so much fun. On the hilly roads especially I am shouting with joy like a child. 😄 It's like a capable horse who enjoys the ride as much as you do. Mine is from March 2024 batch and I have no stalling or engine noise issue. If you're considering it, get it, you won't regret.
proud owner of scrambler 400x. Took a tamhini ghat road in Pune and the bike is amazing at corner, and when i took small detour to broken road, felt even more happier. This is it for me.
@@RamCharan-ck4xd the milage on console may be misleading. Tank to tank gives the right number which is traditional way of measuring milage. It's 400cc single, so don't expect much, this is pure enthusiasts thing. Better test ride as many time as you wish untill you are hard sure... Cheers
I own an Interceptor 650. Every time I go to the RE service center for service, the technician tells me "Sir, there is problem with your cone set" and then you have to spend additional 2700/- for Cone set only. This cone set problem has become like a ritual. I learned about the term "Cone set" at RE service centres only. I have owned bikes of multiple brands and never ever have I faced cone set problem with any bikes. Seems like this "Cone set" thing is an attribute of RE brand itself and their bikes proudly flaunt it.
Bulu once you said the Honda highness has no soul. I saw that review after I bought that bike and you summed up the bike with that little phrase I value your advice more than Shumi or any of the other guys Almost no one has talked of how the 400x performs of the hills - youve given a comprehensive review. Going to trade my highness in for the 400x
i have the same bike which you are having.. I felt this is flawless bike for indian condition.Great to see this machine is getting appreciated, although i would like more option for customization...
In hills Triumph scrambler 400x is far better than himaliyan 450. Himaliyan is only good in highway with high speed comfort. In traffic scrambler 400x is far better. For ease to drive and agility scrambler 400x is far better. In relability, scrambler is far better than himaliyan.
I have watched all the videos in the set and I agree 100% with everything you said! I will add that new tires really make a huge difference, as well raising the front clamps on the shocks helps with the kickstand as well as a more upright position, stock seems slightly forward. I ADORE my Triumph 400x, take it single track and trails it is complete freedom!!
I had done Mustang Trip with Honda CB350. not even a single nut bolt was loosened and even air pressure was perfect after returning from the ride after 1300 kms.😍😍
Please correct one thing. Scrambler 400X is not a light weight bike. The weight distribution of this bike is so good that you don't trip over even at the lowest speed or in any turns. On the other hand Himalayan's tank is so huge that all the weight is focused there, unless you are not a body builder of weight lifter if Himalayan starts to fall down you cannot stop it from happening because the weight distribution is trash. Triumph solely won here because of its build quality. Himalayan offers more features but it won't last longer than Triumph. Himalayan is like android full of features but lasts only 5 years max. Triumph is like iphone with limited features but build quality is so premium that it will last 10 years with heavy riding. Triumph is like a single bike for life, for RE bikes you will keep reselling and keep purchasing updated versions, this is how the business is running, that's why you'll see less triumph on road.
@@BuluBikerthanks for responding. I am thinking about that one factor now which is important for me, so considering Vstrom 250. That would suit my requirement, for mostly city and occasional Highway runs...as I am not planning dedicated group rides.
I ride a Suzuki DR650 dual sport. After watching your videos I plan to get the 400x. There are many western motovloggers that give firt ride reviews and sometimes not accurate. I have asked them and their viewers to watch your review to get the real deal, nitty gritty details.
You praise every motorcycle so much that we don't understand whether to purchase it. We expect you to tell us things impartially but you praise all the bikes so much that we don't understand what is right and what is wrong. Now we are losing faith in you.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
😂 funny thing is ....never believe anything to be ur fit until u try it hands on....itna simple fact koi kyun expect kare apko force karke kharidneko.....always listen to best reviwes and give a test ride
Lagta hai bhai re fan hai 😂 bura maan gaye. Bro he is one the most honest bike enthusiasts in india he tells the truth not like others who only praise RE for its gawar fans.
Aah not like that bro, all these bikes r very competitive products, so they kind of set benchmark of other competition n develop accordingly. So the fact is any motorcycles these days will have 7-8 good points n 2-3 bad points. I highlight the things I like n things I do not like, but I create these videos for you to keep in mind of these points and observe the bike while taking a test ride, thats what will help u in understanding a bike better in that short test ride. These videos are practical videos for your reference brother. Exactly this is why I stopped going for media rides, because you can never understand a bike completely with just a track ride or a 2hr ride, only when u spend one full day u understand how much pain u get in ur butt 😁 Therefore I decided and asked companies to give me bikes for such long rides so that I behave like an owner to the bike and not just a reviewer. But yes afterall I am a motorcycle lover, so I like every bikes n get excited to ride them, but yes I do highlight the things I do not like too😁 Achha to add u might have not seen me riding or reviewing a Beneli or CF moto as I avoid some brands that r totally unreliable of its presence in India, so I don't want my audience to get stuck with a motorcycle with very low brand presence in future. In short I actually review only those bikes that is a worthy purchase for our audience.
Most bikes are a lot better than we are or our capabilities are. Please see a video from powerdrift, 'your bike is better then you' by shumi. You'll understand. This particular ride bulu went, it's a challenge for any rider, the bike contributes too. But today we have a lot of capable bikes which are better than us
Firstly it's a privilege to see you and I hav been watching all your videos and tips that you share with bikers are top-notch, many buyers have been influenced by your review over their buying decisions I need your help over choosing the between triumph tiger 850 and v-strom 800 de Since this both motorcycles appear to have similar spec on papers I need your help in deciding with respect to reliability , maintenance and resale value in the Indian market
Amazing content . Thanks for such indepth revelations based upon hands on riding experience on such inhospitable terrain about this bike . I marvel at your expertise to ride deftly on 835 mm seat height inspite your 5.3 ft frame. Would love to know whether CB 350 would have satisfied you more than Triumph scrambler and if not why?
Very aptly putn explained the experience. This helps a lot. However, the only missing info, which is important to know is: How are the BRAKES and HEATING on this tour? Any small details would help. Thanks in advance 😊
I am facing stalling & power shutting issue in my Scrambler 400X which I’m running for about 8 months. Sometimes the bike gets stalled in 2-3rd gear & sometimes it gets power cut while downshifting at higher speeds in 5-6th gear. I pull the clutch for downshifting while slowing down not even I have slightly released the clutch it gets power cut. Moreover sometimes there’s a slight delay in power delivery which isn’t a concerning issue for me but I’m too bothered about the above two as in cruical time when I need to accelerate it stalled & led me into an accident 😢. Comfort stability looks quality suspension set up even the low end torque is very good & I like it. My own brother rides speed 400 we both haven’t faced any such issue with the speed. But my other friends having scrambler are also complaining about the same. Everytime we go service centre they try their best either by giving ECU update or by servicing but everything goes well for 10-15 days again the same problem persists . I have mentioned Triumph but everytime they send me service centre & the cycle repeats. Sir, if you have faced any such problems or have any solution please let me know . I love ❤️ my scrambler very much like you do but I want to resolve this power shutting issue 🥺.
"Deshi vlogger" from West Bengal have done Sandakphu in his Himalayan 450 few weeks ago ,and he was struggling so much 😢he is also very experienced pahadi rider!
Bulu bhai..i am long term follower of you... really appreciate ur reviews ❤❤❤...pls next time pls take ronin 225...want to know the bike feedback in long journey
bro, where does the speed 400 stands in comparison to the 400x? To what extent can the speed 400 perform while off roading in comparison because the speed 400, t4 are relatively cheaper and if one decides to buy any of the two and wish to do off road as well, will he be compromising?
Bulu Bhai as always you Rock 👍 The off-roading you did on these hills was really awesome. Never seen such tough terrain. once again 👌👌👌👍👍👍 you rock Bro 😎
Hi Bulu Babu Thanks Bro for comprehensive review and for telling it like it is. Vis a vis 452,for bad roads, the Sherpa has 3 plusses..longerTravelSuspn, 21 inches & Spokes.And tankRange. For everything else the 400x is better. You talked of gearbox..true. short, well defined gears means u know exactly which gear you are in, even without looking...one wont drive at wrong speeds gearwise. On my Inty im in 6th, yet search for Top. Or sometimes in 5th i think its Top. Bulu, im off to Zanskar and beyond next week on Scrambler400x, have got sidestays, rear rack and engine guard. StockSeat absolutely fine i think. Any heating? Thanks again Bro for well made well ridden review
Hi bro yes u said it correctly the RE has longer tank range suspension travel n 21inch For zanskar Scrambler absolutely fine n u will not feel stressed atall
I would like to know what would have been your experience if you had picked Honda NX 500 to the same trip. I know Triumph and Honda NX is not a relevant comparison. But still I want to know how the bike would have taken you to the most challenging terrains.
Recently i have done the test ride. Foot peg vibrations are annoying. For long rides refinement issues will affect you. Within a few min my legs felt numbness and especially in high revs
@@user-rb1ek7gx9r If hero with its single cylinder 440cc engine is able to control vibration. Triumph should have reduced the vibration since people consider scrambler majorly for touring. if it was performance oriented like KTM this vibrations can be justified.
@@vishnujayakrishnan-vj5646 For vibrations to feel you don't have to take down to 120kmph. It felt at low revs and while rev matching and down shifting.Being a single cylinder i know it will vibrate. But the intensity and character of the vibration could have made it a little bit more refined . Its my opinion purely on the basis of a test drive.
@@ajithgopi8791 maybe something wrong with test-drive bike. Have completed 3000 kms in my Scrambler.. it is very very smooth till 6k RPM or 100 kmph.. vibrations creep in slightly after 100 but it's never ever annoying or will make you feel numb. Engine refinement got better after 1000 kms & 1st oil change and it got even better after crossing 2000 kms. I feel it will get even better after more kms and next oil change. I am planning to change engine oil at 5k/6k kms. And trust me bro I don't like vibrations and was the reason i picked up Scrambler after I test drove it..
Hi, Bulu. I follow your posts regularly and i truly admire your adventurous spirit. Well, i have one question, i am aware that the footrests are set a little backwards. Does that make your knees pain? I am 59 years old and 6 feet 2 inches tall.
Hi Sir thank you so much for your sweet comment. Sir for my height absolutely no issues with the foot posture as the seating is tall, I have not even heard of any issues as such from any of my tall friends who r motorcycle reviewers. But still I would suggest you to once take a test ride n if possible a slightly longer one that will give u an idea for your height sir.🙏
Can you compare the NX500 touring and city commute friendlyness to scrambler 400x. i think since you own both you are the right person. my NX500 delivery is getting delayed. is it worth waiting ?
Confused between speed 400 and Scrambler because I am not a regular bike tourer . I may do two or three tours per year. I have been planning for Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh too.
If you are not a regular tourer and looking for a bike for trips only go for Himalayan 450. Triumph is built for daily usage and touring. But a complete tour with luggage and pillion will be better in Himalayan.
I am 5' 6", I took the trial ride, earlier I only ried basic bike, this is the 1st kind of ride for me in adventure/scrambler segment, I felt pain in my wrist & elbow, & found it difficult to stop & park due to height (this could be the repeating senario in traffic & with pilion it could be more difficult). If you can suggest me how to control this or anything I could improve please let me know. I am thinking to purchase a 400cc bikke (my old bike was 125cc). I am looking for the bike which can do a city, highway, hills & bit offroad.
Very detailed explanation Bulu Bhai! Superb! The last minute detail summarised the whole video. The engine grunt reflected how torque_y it is. 390 ADV has the best low end torque in all 390 family. The lightweight nature adds to the torque to weight ratio. At the end of the day, if you can, you can do such trails with Avenger as well.
Bulu Bhai mere ko ye bike bahut pasand hai Bas ek baat ka malal hain ki Isme triumph ki taraf se toh top box milta hain Lekin pura youtube dundh liya iske proper luggage solutions ko leke jisme proper saddle bag both side top box after market lage h Ap Apne bike pe ye project karwao na jis se. Ki hume idea ho jaye Plzzzzzzz😢
Bro both of these bikes are my favourites in segment, Maverick is good for highway runs, this is good for mixed rides... overall I think this will be a better product.
The much awaited video,thank you so much Bulu bhai! I'm from WestBengal,the terrains here are unexplored.escpecially when you are travelling on a bike. As people go with the flow,first it was Gurudongmar,now its Sandakphu,which is still now considered to be a paradise for trekkers! You have tested the Triumph-scrambler 400x to its limit! Please be in touch, would love to show you around West-Bengal. Wishing you good health and wealth!
Bro, I'm thinking of taking the Scrambler 400x in a week, but I think the handling is better on the Speed 400. My use is mostly in the city and I'm 6'2" tall. Please suggest which one to go for Speed or Scrambler ??
Awesome detailed explanation! Thanks a lot Bulu bhai for the video 🙏 Just wanted to know, is there any heating issue with scram while riding for long time in 2nd or 3rd gear? Pls help me to finalise.
My nearest Triumph dealership also 300 km away. Got my Scrambler400x in Feb. Done 1500km, 2 oil changes. Leaving early June for Kashmir 5:15 Zanskar ..from there Ladakh..back via Manali
I own a dominar 400 2018 model. Should i go for scrambler 400x as an additional bike in my garage ? Will this add a dent to my finances in terms of maintainance of 2 bikes ? I am in love with this bike. Please suggest. Also i live in Bangalore. Hoping to catch up some time.
@thelostrambler1879 Hello Buddy, It totally depends if you really want to have another bike in your garage because it will cost you close to 3.25 lacs in your hometown & investing 3.25 lacs some where else will be worth the money until and unless you are a regular traveller as Dominar 400 is a beautiful touring machine for sure. It can check mark 8 points out of 10 while comparing it with Triumph Scrambler 400X. I am coming from Triumph Speed 400 and clocked more than 5000 KM on the same and I have a test ride Scrambler 400X which is almost the same as Speed 400. Points To Remember: 1. Short gearing makes it very very easy to ride at 4-5 gear even on 30-40 KM Speed. 2. The machine is agile and maneuverability is so much sexy like a cake walk. 3. Suspension setup is chomeshwari, you will love it for sure. 4. Performance is super duper excellent till 100-105 KM Speed but on paper 39.5 BHP does not justify in the real world for sure as RPM limiter is at 12,000 but it's start raving and vibrating from 6500 itself. 5. Mileage is 22-26 depending upon the riding style. 6. Service will be at every 16,000 KM or one year which ever will be earlier makes it super duper value for money but to be honest this will require regular check ups after every 3000 KM for its good health. 7. Fit and finish is something which no one can match for sure in the 3 Lacs price bracket. 8. My height is 5'5, this is why I opted Speed. However if the height is more than 5'7. Scrambler makes more sense and it's road presence is way for beautiful than Speed 400. Although riding taller bikes is a skill but if you are a regular traveller, you have to opt according to your height buddy as 795 MM seat height and 835 MM seat height is a marginal difference. 9. Both Speed and Scrambler are very good touring machine where slight off roading can be done on Scrambler. However, Speed is slightly better on highway and while cornering as well due to its good set of tyres. Dude, if you really need a bike then go for it blindly. Just for the sake of how good the bike is and if you are not clocking more than 5000 KM every year will let you think if it's a good investment or not. Triumph will be launching Thurxton or Tiger as per the rumors. The upcoming bikes will be more refined hopefully and will eliminate all the flaws that both bikes has. I hope It makes some sense to you. Keep riding and stay safe.
Bro still I feel Scrambler is better value for money, I mean u may not be able to justify the price for NX for what u get. And this is a very honest opinion😁
@@BuluBiker thank you for your opinion. Really appreciate it Bulu sir. I own Honda Hness since an year and love it. But now due to its stiff suspension I am getting back pain.
What about pillion comfort ? Is it comfortable to ride with pillion for long highway rides ? 🤔 I'm from Assam. Keeping in mind the road conditions in Northeast what bike would you recommend considering pillion comfort 😁
Hi Sir, your detailed reviews about the bikes are really amazing.. you have compared himalayan, ktm adventure and other bikes. What would be your views about the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401..do you think this bike would beat out the features and off-roading capabilities compared to Srambler 400x. Please put out a video on this comparison.
Sir, I am confused in Dominar 400 and Triumph 400x. I am a normal highway cruiser with some mind off roads depends on the road condition. Please suggest a good pic from these two or should I go for KTM ADV 390?
Bro just go for Triumph scrambler if service center is accessible and near to your location It can do all things for you I personally own scrablert 400x its engine top class and new bench mark in 400 cc segement
Jay jagannath Bulu bhai, yara jou stalling issue asuthila agaru, abe sort out hei galani ki nahin. Planning to buying one but, ate review achhi stalling issue upare, so tike doubt asuchhi. Please advice.
Bulu bhai, mein bhi short rider hu. I'm 5' 4". I ride an older CI engine Enfield Electra and want to shift to Triumph Aapke nazariye mein for allaround ride capability (highways, decent off-road, hilly etc with luggage), should I go for Triumph Speed 400 or Triumph Scrambler X? Mera jyaada budget nahi h to buy expensive bikes
You change bike so often, how do you get rid of the old one? I have tried but the second hand bikes are do not fetch a decent amount to even partially fund a new one. How is the wheels performance on 400x?
Bulu bhai samaj main nahi aah raha ,,dil mange honda cb 350, but pratical triumph 400 x,,confused,,wife ke sath travel karna hai comfort kaunsa better rahega??
Sir, if I may try to clarify your thoughts. I have been an owner of Honda h'ness for the last 4 years, done 75000 kms till date. If your sole purpose is a comfortable city commute and occassional highway rides Solomon with a commuter, you would be better off with Honda. If you want to go on trails and hills and want longbdistance highway tourings then Scrambler 400x would be an ideal choice. Both bikes offer ease of you, reliability and comfort.
Please help me choose between interceptor 650 and triumph scrambler 400x or should I wait for royal enfield scrambler 650. My requirements are 1. Power should be above 40 bhp and torque should be at least 35 n-m at around 4000-4500rpm. Recently I've sold my Duke 390 2017 model which i enjoyed very much. The only problem was the power and torque delivery at lower rpm, that's why I sold this motorbike. 2. I ride In the city ( not much, around 5 km every day), 200-300 km ride on weekends and 500 to 1000 kms ride occasionally. 3 . Should have a mileage of at least 25 kmpl or above in hghiways. (I ride calmly around 90-110 kmph) On highways) 4. must have good service( I was not happy with ktm's service quality and parts availability)
Hey Bulu bhaiya, I'm 5'4 and I test rode the 400x. Like you said, the bike was surprisingly manageable snd comfortable for me cause of the amazing weight management. However, I could not test it on downhill slopes. On a small uphill slope, I could flatfoot one side when I scoot over one side. Could you share your experience on downhill slopes please?
I want to ride with pillion and luggage, should I buy himalayan 450 or 400x I am bit confused or should I wait for ktm390 adv kindly response. My riding style is but aggressive, currently riding yamaha sz-rr dad's bike it will be my first bike. To be very honest i don't think any of them will be reliable like yamaha as that is already clocked almost 60k kms not spent much yet only tyre battery and mobile change recently changed the front brake calipers as I normally uses only front brake never skid yet, i test driven both and felt 400x breaking is bit dull.
Bulu bhai I have bought scrambler 2 days back. My height just seems like you. Cant grab the tank properly from the knees and handle bar dosent seem stable or due to too wide and bit unconfident in traffic slow speeds. Pls give some tips on how did you manage with the bike. 🙂
Bulu bhai im bit confused over CB 350 RS and Speed 400 my priority is 75% city rides and 25% highway. And i need at least 30 kmph mileage. Or should i wait for some new launches. Please help me with your valueable opinion. Lastly love from Kolkata ❤️
The throttle plastic of my triumph scrambler is too loose. It wobbles and nake tak tak sound. Showroom guys are saying its normal but it ruins the whole ruding experience. What to do?
as deep ranjan sachan states in his video that while crusing at 100-110 engine keeps rpm around 6000 which is more than any other bikes does it feel fatigue to rider while on high run on highways ?
It may be worth waiting for upcoming ktm adv390 & enduro 390.. more specific and universal also, so 2 models will be coming up. Maybe torque gear ratio will change a lot. This time I even saw Center stand given in upcoming testing adv 390 though not in enduro which is more dirt bike catagory.
@@BuluBiker It seems to me this time this adv 390 will leave nothing behind and like it shud be nearly taking the Perfect bike.. as the way they changed duke 390 gen3rd ..in so many aspects.
I was thinking the same when both were launched. But unfortunately, Triumph sales are not that high. I think main reason is RE has a huge reach and network in Tier 2/3 and other rural sites, where Triumph has not reached and might take much much longer. Till the RE will have big sales figures.
@@rohithrajan04 how satisfied u are with the bike bro ? If u have to purchase a bike today and u are 5'10 well built Want to cruise in city and highway what would u buy under 3 lakh (in case if u have to ride with pillion with same height and built)
@Royalsingh77 I am not familiar with pricing of all of them, but you can test drive the vstrom if you like. It's been really easy for me. Also I recently got to ride the Mavrick 440 which was really good. Not sure the exact price though. Scrambler 400 I have not ridden but almost everyone has good opinions on it and it's suspension. Himalayan will be good for your frame and built but ofcourse it is a heavy motorcycle and RE service has mixed opinions.
I'm from the southern US and we speak slow around here. It is really hard for me to understand everything Bulu is saying, but the message comes across loud and clear. He loves his Scramble 400 as much as I love mine.

@@rejaneeshr1428 Not Highness, not RS350. it was CB350 new model. Same look like RE classic. Solid build and more muscular than Highness and RS
Please correct one thing. Scrambler 400X is not a light weight bike. The weight distribution of this bike is so good that you don't trip over even at the lowest speed or in any turns. On the other hand Himalayan's tank is so huge that all the weight is focused there, unless you are not a body builder of weight lifter if Himalayan starts to fall down you cannot stop it from happening because the weight distribution is trash. Triumph solely won here because of its build quality. Himalayan offers more features but it won't last longer than Triumph. Himalayan is like android full of features but lasts only 5 years max. Triumph is like iphone with limited features but build quality is so premium that it will last 10 years with heavy riding. Triumph is like a single bike for life, for RE bikes you will keep reselling and keep purchasing updated versions, this is how the business is running, that's why you'll see less triumph on road.

Lagta hai bhai re fan hai 😂 bura maan gaye. Bro he is one the most honest bike enthusiasts in india he tells the truth not like others who only praise RE for its gawar fans.
Aah not like that bro, all these bikes r very competitive products, so they kind of set benchmark of other competition n develop accordingly.
So the fact is any motorcycles these days will have 7-8 good points n 2-3 bad points.
I highlight the things I like n things I do not like, but I create these videos for you to keep in mind of these points and observe the bike while taking a test ride, thats what will help u in understanding a bike better in that short test ride.
These videos are practical videos for your reference brother.
Exactly this is why I stopped going for media rides, because you can never understand a bike completely with just a track ride or a 2hr ride, only when u spend one full day u understand how much pain u get in ur butt 😁
Therefore I decided and asked companies to give me bikes for such long rides so that I behave like an owner to the bike and not just a reviewer.
But yes afterall I am a motorcycle lover, so I like every bikes n get excited to ride them, but yes I do highlight the things I do not like too😁
Achha to add u might have not seen me riding or reviewing a Beneli or CF moto as I avoid some brands that r totally unreliable of its presence in India, so I don't want my audience to get stuck with a motorcycle with very low brand presence in future.
In short I actually review only those bikes that is a worthy purchase for our audience.
Most bikes are a lot better than we are or our capabilities are. Please see a video from powerdrift, 'your bike is better then you' by shumi. You'll understand. This particular ride bulu went, it's a challenge for any rider, the bike contributes too. But today we have a lot of capable bikes which are better than us
Firstly it's a privilege to see you and I hav been watching all your videos and tips that you share with bikers are top-notch, many buyers have been influenced by your review over their buying decisions
I need your help over choosing the between triumph tiger 850 and v-strom 800 de
Since this both motorcycles appear to have similar spec on papers
I need your help in deciding with respect to reliability , maintenance and resale value in the Indian market
Pls make a detailed comparison video between the Scrambler400 and NX500, since you own both of them
Amazing content . Thanks for such indepth revelations based upon hands on riding experience on such inhospitable terrain about this bike . I marvel at your expertise to ride deftly on 835 mm seat height inspite your 5.3 ft frame. Would love to know whether CB 350 would have satisfied you more than Triumph scrambler and if not why?
Very aptly putn explained the experience. This helps a lot. However, the only missing info, which is important to know is: How are the BRAKES and HEATING on this tour? Any small details would help. Thanks in advance 😊
Actually sir all these places r cold zones, so understanding heating is difficult
I am facing stalling & power shutting issue in my Scrambler 400X which I’m running for about 8 months. Sometimes the bike gets stalled in 2-3rd gear & sometimes it gets power cut while downshifting at higher speeds in 5-6th gear. I pull the clutch for downshifting while slowing down not even I have slightly released the clutch it gets power cut. Moreover sometimes there’s a slight delay in power delivery which isn’t a concerning issue for me but I’m too bothered about the above two as in cruical time when I need to accelerate it stalled & led me into an accident 😢. Comfort stability looks quality suspension set up even the low end torque is very good & I like it. My own brother rides speed 400 we both haven’t faced any such issue with the speed. But my other friends having scrambler are also complaining about the same. Everytime we go service centre they try their best either by giving ECU update or by servicing but everything goes well for 10-15 days again the same problem persists . I have mentioned Triumph but everytime they send me service centre & the cycle repeats. Sir, if you have faced any such problems or have any solution please let me know .
I love ❤️ my scrambler very much like you do but I want to resolve this power shutting issue 🥺.
Bro did they resolve your issue ?
The real owner's experience .... As usual from Bulu bhai...
Waiting for this review ❤❤
Going to buy next month 🤟🏻🤟🏻
"Deshi vlogger" from West Bengal have done Sandakphu in his Himalayan 450 few weeks ago ,and he was struggling so much 😢he is also very experienced pahadi rider!
Bulu bhai..i am long term follower of you... really appreciate ur reviews ❤❤❤...pls next time pls take ronin 225...want to know the bike feedback in long journey
bro, where does the speed 400 stands in comparison to the 400x? To what extent can the speed 400 perform while off roading in comparison because the speed 400, t4 are relatively cheaper and if one decides to buy any of the two and wish to do off road as well, will he be compromising?
Bulu Bhai as always you Rock 👍
The off-roading you did on these hills was really awesome. Never seen such tough terrain. once again 👌👌👌👍👍👍
you rock Bro 😎
🙏
Thnks bulu bhai of this review.. remember we meet in sandakphu sunrise hotel... u r very nice person always keep smiling ❤
Wry well explained . And really feels so genuine so are sharing your experience
This is what I was waiting for…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Bulu Babu
Thanks Bro for comprehensive review and for telling it like it is. Vis a vis 452,for bad roads, the Sherpa has 3 plusses..longerTravelSuspn, 21 inches & Spokes.And tankRange.
For everything else the 400x is better. You talked of gearbox..true. short, well defined gears means u know exactly which gear you are in, even without looking...one wont drive at wrong speeds gearwise. On my Inty im in 6th, yet search for Top. Or sometimes in 5th i think its Top.
Bulu, im off to Zanskar and beyond next week on Scrambler400x, have got sidestays, rear rack and engine guard. StockSeat absolutely fine i think.
Any heating?
Thanks again Bro for well made well ridden review
Hi bro yes u said it correctly the RE has longer tank range suspension travel n 21inch
For zanskar Scrambler absolutely fine n u will not feel stressed atall
I would like to know what would have been your experience if you had picked Honda NX 500 to the same trip. I know Triumph and Honda NX is not a relevant comparison. But still I want to know how the bike would have taken you to the most challenging terrains.
In one word - EXPENSIVE!
Recently i have done the test ride. Foot peg vibrations are annoying. For long rides refinement issues will affect you. Within a few min my legs felt numbness and especially in high revs
go for inline 4 cylinder bikes 😂😂
Were you doing 120+ speeds for the vibrations to be annoying ??!!
Don't exaggerate.. Triumph 400 twins are one of most refined in the class..
@@user-rb1ek7gx9r
If hero with its single cylinder 440cc engine is able to control vibration. Triumph should have reduced the vibration since people consider scrambler majorly for touring. if it was performance oriented like KTM this vibrations can be justified.
@@vishnujayakrishnan-vj5646
For vibrations to feel you don't have to take down to 120kmph. It felt at low revs and while rev matching and down shifting.Being a single cylinder i know it will vibrate. But the intensity and character of the vibration could have made it a little bit more refined . Its my opinion purely on the basis of a test drive.
@@ajithgopi8791 maybe something wrong with test-drive bike. Have completed 3000 kms in my Scrambler.. it is very very smooth till 6k RPM or 100 kmph.. vibrations creep in slightly after 100 but it's never ever annoying or will make you feel numb. Engine refinement got better after 1000 kms & 1st oil change and it got even better after crossing 2000 kms. I feel it will get even better after more kms and next oil change. I am planning to change engine oil at 5k/6k kms.
And trust me bro I don't like vibrations and was the reason i picked up Scrambler after I test drove it..
Bhai new scram 440 se scrambler 400x compare karo na
Hi, Bulu. I follow your posts regularly and i truly admire your adventurous spirit. Well, i have one question, i am aware that the footrests are set a little backwards. Does that make your knees pain? I am 59 years old and 6 feet 2 inches tall.
Hi Sir thank you so much for your sweet comment.
Sir for my height absolutely no issues with the foot posture as the seating is tall, I have not even heard of any issues as such from any of my tall friends who r motorcycle reviewers.
But still I would suggest you to once take a test ride n if possible a slightly longer one that will give u an idea for your height sir.🙏
Paaji apko tezpur me dekha tha tawang se laut rehe the Piche se awaaz di thi but apne suna nahi
Arey arey sir, helmet ke andar awaz miss hogaya sir
Hello Bulu bhai, great series and review, looks I can consider this bike, how nx500 would have done on this trip compared to scram x?
Nx500 ka suspension is good for highways but not as good as scrambler on off roads, baaki engine performance more or less similar type ki hai
Fall in love with the 400X ❤
Can you compare the NX500 touring and city commute friendlyness to scrambler 400x. i think since you own both you are the right person. my NX500 delivery is getting delayed. is it worth waiting ?
Confused between speed 400 and Scrambler because I am not a regular bike tourer . I may do two or three tours per year. I have been planning for Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh too.
If you are not a regular tourer and looking for a bike for trips only go for Himalayan 450. Triumph is built for daily usage and touring. But a complete tour with luggage and pillion will be better in Himalayan.
I am 5' 6", I took the trial ride, earlier I only ried basic bike, this is the 1st kind of ride for me in adventure/scrambler segment, I felt pain in my wrist & elbow, & found it difficult to stop & park due to height (this could be the repeating senario in traffic & with pilion it could be more difficult). If you can suggest me how to control this or anything I could improve please let me know. I am thinking to purchase a 400cc bikke (my old bike was 125cc). I am looking for the bike which can do a city, highway, hills & bit offroad.
Thank you 🙏 sir for sharing the experience ❤
Bulubhai, I was waiting for this ..Super..I have scrambler 400x :)
Very detailed explanation Bulu Bhai! Superb!
The last minute detail summarised the whole video.
The engine grunt reflected how torque_y it is.
390 ADV has the best low end torque in all 390 family. The lightweight nature adds to the torque to weight ratio.
At the end of the day, if you can, you can do such trails with Avenger as well.
Don't underestimate the importance of ground clearance.
@BuluBiker you truly are an inspiration for every Odia biker out there…would surely love to meet you one day….🫶🏻
🙏
Bulu Bhai mere ko ye bike bahut pasand hai
Bas ek baat ka malal hain ki
Isme triumph ki taraf se toh top box milta hain
Lekin pura youtube dundh liya iske proper luggage solutions ko leke jisme proper saddle bag both side top box after market lage h
Ap Apne bike pe ye project karwao na jis se. Ki hume idea ho jaye
Plzzzzzzz😢
Bulu bhai .. compared to Mavrick 440...which one is best VFM..
Bro both of these bikes are my favourites in segment, Maverick is good for highway runs, this is good for mixed rides... overall I think this will be a better product.
@@BuluBiker Thanks Bro.. some reviews tell that MAVRICK has vibrations .. is MAvrick comfortable between speeds of 100-120 ..
@ after 100 there is vibrations, till 100 its good
The much awaited video,thank you so much Bulu bhai!
I'm from WestBengal,the terrains here are unexplored.escpecially when you are travelling on a bike.
As people go with the flow,first it was Gurudongmar,now its Sandakphu,which is still now considered to be a paradise for trekkers!
You have tested the Triumph-scrambler 400x to its limit!
Please be in touch, would love to show you around West-Bengal.
Wishing you good health and wealth!
Bro, I'm thinking of taking the Scrambler 400x in a week, but I think the handling is better on the Speed 400.
My use is mostly in the city and I'm 6'2" tall.
Please suggest which one to go for Speed or Scrambler ??
prompt and superb review Bulu bhai!
What is the situation on availability of spare for the 400x? Are they easily available, or are there wait times?
Awesome detailed explanation! Thanks a lot Bulu bhai for the video 🙏
Just wanted to know, is there any heating issue with scram while riding for long time in 2nd or 3rd gear? Pls help me to finalise.
Bulu bhai, is tour mein kharsa kitna aya hai
Hi, Give us the feedback on the LS2 carbon helmet and also GoPro setup you have done on it.
Can you post a review of the new Yezdi Adv ? May be compare it with alternative options
Bulu bhai, I am planning to buy this bike next week. Please let me know if i can go for it for the normal use in Bangalore.
Hows the clutch when compared to TVS Ronin? Is the seating position more comfortable than Ronin?
Eagerly waiting for this video. In Dilema to order
Since my nearest service centre is 308 kms away. 😢
My nearest Triumph dealership also 300 km away.
Got my Scrambler400x in Feb.
Done 1500km, 2 oil changes.
Leaving early June for Kashmir 5:15 Zanskar ..from there Ladakh..back via Manali
I own a dominar 400 2018 model. Should i go for scrambler 400x as an additional bike in my garage ? Will this add a dent to my finances in terms of maintainance of 2 bikes ? I am in love with this bike. Please suggest. Also i live in Bangalore. Hoping to catch up some time.
Performance wise no, but as a single bike garage for all purpose u can have scrambler
@thelostrambler1879 Hello Buddy,
It totally depends if you really want to have another bike in your garage because it will cost you close to 3.25 lacs in your hometown & investing 3.25 lacs some where else will be worth the money until and unless you are a regular traveller as Dominar 400 is a beautiful touring machine for sure. It can check mark 8 points out of 10 while comparing it with Triumph Scrambler 400X.
I am coming from Triumph Speed 400 and clocked more than 5000 KM on the same and I have a test ride Scrambler 400X which is almost the same as Speed 400.
Points To Remember:
1. Short gearing makes it very very easy to ride at 4-5 gear even on 30-40 KM Speed.
2. The machine is agile and maneuverability is so much sexy like a cake walk.
3. Suspension setup is chomeshwari, you will love it for sure.
4. Performance is super duper excellent till 100-105 KM Speed but on paper 39.5 BHP does not justify in the real world for sure as RPM limiter is at 12,000 but it's start raving and vibrating from 6500 itself.
5. Mileage is 22-26 depending upon the riding style.
6. Service will be at every 16,000 KM or one year which ever will be earlier makes it super duper value for money but to be honest this will require regular check ups after every 3000 KM for its good health.
7. Fit and finish is something which no one can match for sure in the 3 Lacs price bracket.
8. My height is 5'5, this is why I opted Speed. However if the height is more than 5'7. Scrambler makes more sense and it's road presence is way for beautiful than Speed 400. Although riding taller bikes is a skill but if you are a regular traveller, you have to opt according to your height buddy as 795 MM seat height and 835 MM seat height is a marginal difference.
9. Both Speed and Scrambler are very good touring machine where slight off roading can be done on Scrambler. However, Speed is slightly better on highway and while cornering as well due to its good set of tyres.
Dude, if you really need a bike then go for it blindly. Just for the sake of how good the bike is and if you are not clocking more than 5000 KM every year will let you think if it's a good investment or not.
Triumph will be launching Thurxton or Tiger as per the rumors. The upcoming bikes will be more refined hopefully and will eliminate all the flaws that both bikes has.
I hope It makes some sense to you.
Keep riding and stay safe.
Triumph Scrambler 400x vs Honda NX500 needed if possible please discarding the budget
Bro still I feel Scrambler is better value for money, I mean u may not be able to justify the price for NX for what u get.
And this is a very honest opinion😁
@@BuluBiker thank you for your opinion. Really appreciate it Bulu sir. I own Honda Hness since an year and love it. But now due to its stiff suspension I am getting back pain.
What about pillion comfort ? Is it comfortable to ride with pillion for long highway rides ? 🤔 I'm from Assam. Keeping in mind the road conditions in Northeast what bike would you recommend considering pillion comfort 😁
Yar mai bahot confuse hu bulu bhai scrambler vs himalyan please suggest only waiting for your reply bulu bhai
Hi Sir, your detailed reviews about the bikes are really amazing.. you have compared himalayan, ktm adventure and other bikes. What would be your views about the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401..do you think this bike would beat out the features and off-roading capabilities compared to Srambler 400x. Please put out a video on this comparison.
Bullu bhai,would love to get any information on the pillion comfort of the Scrambler.
Sir, I am confused in Dominar 400 and Triumph 400x. I am a normal highway cruiser with some mind off roads depends on the road condition. Please suggest a good pic from these two or should I go for KTM ADV 390?
Bro just go for Triumph scrambler if service center is accessible and near to your location
It can do all things for you
I personally own scrablert 400x its engine top class and new bench mark in 400 cc segement
Jay jagannath Bulu bhai, yara jou stalling issue asuthila agaru, abe sort out hei galani ki nahin. Planning to buying one but, ate review achhi stalling issue upare, so tike doubt asuchhi. Please advice.
There are some customers complaining about the bike not starting occasionally with service centres struggling…have you faced such an issue?
I've faced this issue. They cleaned the starter switches, then it was gone.
Bulu bhai, mein bhi short rider hu. I'm 5' 4". I ride an older CI engine Enfield Electra and want to shift to Triumph
Aapke nazariye mein for allaround ride capability (highways, decent off-road, hilly etc with luggage), should I go for Triumph Speed 400 or Triumph Scrambler X?
Mera jyaada budget nahi h to buy expensive bikes
You change bike so often, how do you get rid of the old one? I have tried but the second hand bikes are do not fetch a decent amount to even partially fund a new one. How is the wheels performance on 400x?
Usually my bikes sell in my own network, since my bikes r well maintained n loaded with accessories so I get good price for my bikes.
Bulu bhai samaj main nahi aah raha ,,dil mange honda cb 350, but pratical triumph 400 x,,confused,,wife ke sath travel karna hai comfort kaunsa better rahega??
Sir, if I may try to clarify your thoughts. I have been an owner of Honda h'ness for the last 4 years, done 75000 kms till date. If your sole purpose is a comfortable city commute and occassional highway rides Solomon with a commuter, you would be better off with Honda. If you want to go on trails and hills and want longbdistance highway tourings then Scrambler 400x would be an ideal choice. Both bikes offer ease of you, reliability and comfort.
Please help me choose between interceptor 650 and triumph scrambler 400x or should I wait for royal enfield scrambler 650.
My requirements are
1. Power should be above 40 bhp and torque should be at least 35 n-m at around 4000-4500rpm. Recently I've sold my Duke 390 2017 model which i enjoyed very much. The only problem was the power and torque delivery at lower rpm, that's why I sold this motorbike.
2. I ride In the city ( not much, around 5 km every day), 200-300 km ride on weekends and 500 to 1000 kms ride occasionally.
3 . Should have a mileage of at least 25 kmpl or above in hghiways. (I ride calmly around 90-110 kmph) On highways)
4. must have good service( I was not happy with ktm's service quality and parts availability)
Hey Bulu bhaiya,
I'm 5'4 and I test rode the 400x. Like you said, the bike was surprisingly manageable snd comfortable for me cause of the amazing weight management.
However, I could not test it on downhill slopes. On a small uphill slope, I could flatfoot one side when I scoot over one side. Could you share your experience on downhill slopes please?
Hello brother
I am 5.6 do you think will it be comfortable for my height and i have decent experience of riding bikes
I want to ride with pillion and luggage, should I buy himalayan 450 or 400x I am bit confused or should I wait for ktm390 adv kindly response. My riding style is but aggressive, currently riding yamaha sz-rr dad's bike it will be my first bike. To be very honest i don't think any of them will be reliable like yamaha as that is already clocked almost 60k kms not spent much yet only tyre battery and mobile change recently changed the front brake calipers as I normally uses only front brake never skid yet, i test driven both and felt 400x breaking is bit dull.
Jai shri ram jai jagannath.....best of luck Bulu bhaina
Jai Jagannath Jai shri Ram bhai

Bulu bhai I have bought scrambler 2 days back. My height just seems like you. Cant grab the tank properly from the knees and handle bar dosent seem stable or due to too wide and bit unconfident in traffic slow speeds. Pls give some tips on how did you manage with the bike. 🙂
Bulu bhai, please tell me between scrambler 400x and honda cb 350. My ride is 70-30 percent city and highway.
Cb 350 or triumph 400 which one is better buy
thanks for the valuable information it really helped me to make a decision 😀😀
Bulu bhai im bit confused over CB 350 RS and Speed 400 my priority is 75% city rides and 25% highway. And i need at least 30 kmph mileage. Or should i wait for some new launches. Please help me with your valueable opinion. Lastly love from Kolkata ❤️
Anyday speed is better..its easily flickable..powerful..and will gv 30 if ridden well.. mileage wise cb350 is better..

Pillion ke sat kaisa hai long rides ke liye ??
It may be worth waiting for upcoming ktm adv390 & enduro 390.. more specific and universal also, so 2 models will be coming up. Maybe torque gear ratio will change a lot. This time I even saw Center stand given in upcoming testing adv 390 though not in enduro which is more dirt bike catagory.

Now sales of himalayan 450 ⬇️
Sales of scram 400 triumph ⬆️
I was thinking the same when both were launched. But unfortunately, Triumph sales are not that high. I think main reason is RE has a huge reach and network in Tier 2/3 and other rural sites, where Triumph has not reached and might take much much longer. Till the RE will have big sales figures.

@Royalsingh77 I am not familiar with pricing of all of them, but you can test drive the vstrom if you like. It's been really easy for me. Also I recently got to ride the Mavrick 440 which was really good. Not sure the exact price though. Scrambler 400 I have not ridden but almost everyone has good opinions on it and it's suspension. Himalayan will be good for your frame and built but ofcourse it is a heavy motorcycle and RE service has mixed opinions.
