Triumph launches Scrambler 400 X in India, no direct competition

Triumph has launched the Speed 400 in India. Alongside, the British bike maker also announced bookings for the Scrambler 400 X as well. Customers can book the bike by paying a refundable token amount of INR 2,000. The pricing will be announced sometime around October 2023, when the bike will make its way to the showrooms.

Triumph Scrambler 400 X : More Details

Taking inspiration from the Scrambler 900 and 1200, the Scrambler 400 X is a derivative of the new 400 bikes co-developed with Bajaj. This bike will be made at Bajaj’s Chakan Plant on the outskirts of Pune.

In terms of design, the Scrambler 400 X comes with a two-piece seat. The seat height is 835 mm compared to the Speed 400’s 790 mm. The Scrambler also gets a longer travel suspension and knuckle guards on handlebars. The Scrambler ticks the scales at 185 kg, which is 9 kg more than the Speed 400.

The Triumph Scrambler 400 X measures 2,154 mm long, 901 mm wide and is 1169 mm high. The wheelbase measures 1,418 mm.

Further, inline with its scrambler looks, the front wheel is 19-incher while the rear measures 17 inches. Both these are shod in dual-purpose tyres with 100/90 front and 140/80 rear profiles.

Brakes consist of bigger 320 mm discs at the front and the standard 230 mm disc at the back. Even the brake pedal is larger along with high-grip foot pegs making standing on the bike easier. For off-road riding, ABS can be switched off for better control.

Features of the Triumph Scrambler 400 X

The Triumph Scrambler 400 X gets ride-by-wire, all-LED lighting set-up and switchable traction control. Triumph has also equipped the bike with a semi-digital instrument cluster with relays information like dual odometers, fuel level, gear indicator and more. There is also a USB C port for mobile or accessory charging. Heated grips are also available as an accessory.

Powertrain of the Triumph Scrambler 400 X

Like the Speed 400, the Scrambler 400 X gets the same 398cc, liquid-cooled engine. This motor develops 39.5 BHP @ 8,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm @ 6,500 rpm. A 6-speed gearbox with a torque assisted clutch sends the power to the rear wheel.
