New Triumph Scrambler 400X teased; launch soon
Triumph has teased the new Scrambler 400X ahead of its imminent India launch. The bike maker has already enjoyed a fair amount of success with its entry into the affordable and mass market segment, thanks to lucrative cost of the Speed 400. In fact, the streetfighter managed to receive over 10,000 bookings within just 10 days of bookings commencement, which was announced on 30 June, 2023. More to the point, Triumph is expected to carry forward the success story of the Speed 400 with the upcoming Scambler 400X. Here is everything you should know about the motorcycle.
Triumph Scrambler 400X: Powertrain
The Scrambler 400X comes powered by the same 398.15cc, single cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine as the Speed 400 that generates 40PS at 8,000rpm and 37.5Nm of torque at 6,500rpm. This motor is coupled to a six-speed gearbox.
Triumph Scrambler 400X and Speed 400: Colours, seat height, and weight
Triumph's Scrambler 400X stands out in the crowd with a scrambler-inspired oval panel, a split-seat setup, a new exhaust, and hand guards. The Scrambler 400X is available in a choice of three paint schemes: Matt Khaki Green with Fusion White, Carnival Red with Phantom Black, and Phantom Black with Silver Ice.
Further, it has a seat height of 835mm compared to 790mm of the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X. On the other hand, the 400X weighs 185kg, while the weight of the streetfighter stands at 176kg.
Triumph Scrambler 400X and Speed 400: Features and hardware
The British marque has fitted the 400X with a bunch of features and electronics, such as all-LED lighting, ride-by-wire, dual-channel ABS, traction control, a slip and assist clutch, and a semi-digital instrument cluster, which houses an analogue speedometer and an LCD screen.
The Scramber 400X wears different tyres than the Speed 400. It comes with 100/90-19 section front and 140/80-17 section rear tyres. Triumph has given it 43mm USD front forks with 150mm travel and a rear monoshock with 150mm travel. Moreover, the 400X is equipped with a 320mm fixed single disc with four-piston radial calliper and a 230mm fixed single disc with ByBre single-piston floating calliper.
Triumph Scrambler 400X: Pricing and rivals
While the Speed 400 costs Rs 2.33 lakh (ex-showroom), the Scrambler 400X is expected to come with a price tag of Rs 2.50 lakh. Upon launch, the new 400X will take on the Royal Enfield Scram 411 and 2023 Yezdi Scrambler.
Bajaj Auto manufactures the new Triumph motorcycles, alongside KTM offerings, at its new Chakan 2 facility in Pune, Maharashtra.
