Lower kerb weight helps in overall comfort and also better performance. Lower kerb weight than 55% of scrambler bikes Triumph Scrambler 400 X Summary The Triumph Scrambler 400 X is the most affordable scramble, and has a rugged design, making it off-road-ready. It gets a headlight protector grill, radiator guard, and knuckle guards. The motorcycle also gets a handlebar brace and split-style seats. Powering the Scrambler 400 X is a 349cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that makes 37bhp at 8,000rpm and a peak torque of 32Nm at 6,500rpm. The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox, while an assist and slipper clutch is standard. As for its cycle parts, the motorcycle is suspended by a 43mm upside-down front fork with 150mm travel and a preload adjustable monoshock at the rear. The Scrambler 400 X riders on a larger 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel. The alloy wheels are fitted with dual-purpose, block-pattern tyres. Meanwhile, the braking setup includes a 320mm front disc and a 230mm rear disc. Dual-channel ABS comes as standard and the rear ABS can be switched off to allow slides around off-road trails. Feature-wise, the Scrambler 400 X gets a ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control system, LED lighting, and a semi-digital instrument cluster. There's also a Type-C charging port that is offered as standard. The Triumph Scrambler 400 X is available in three colours –Khaki Green, Carnival Red, and Phantom Black. Although it doesn’t have a direct rival, the motorcycle competes against the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the Yezdi Scrambler.

The company has updated its entire 400 line-up in India, and technically, these aren’t really 400s anymore, because the new Triumph 400 range is now powered by a smaller, 349cc engine. Now, I personally own the original Scrambler 400 X, and the 398cc engine on that bike is known for its refinement, tractability, punchy performance, and character. What we have here is the 2026 Triumph Scrambler 400 X, powered by the new 349cc motor, as I’ve mentioned. The big question is that, with less displacement and lower capacity, has Triumph managed to retain the character of the older 398cc unit? Or have we lost a gem of an engine in this transition? Let’s find out. Apart from the updated engine, Triumph has not made any changes to the motorcycle, and even the design continues as is. So, the motorcycle continues to look as handsome as ever, and even the quality levels are top-notch. Be it the switchgear quality or the paint finish, everything looks and feels premium. The ergonomics, too, have been retained. The 835mm seat height may feel a bit daunting for an average Indian, but once on the bike, the rider’s triangle feels very comfortable. The mildly rear-set foot pegs and the upright handlebars result in comfortable ergonomics, allowing you to spend long hours in the saddle. Triumph hasn’t upgraded the equipment list on the Scrambler 400 X. If anything, it has actually been downgraded, as the engine immobiliser feature has been removed, as the company felt the feature didn’t add much value to the customers. We believe this is a clear cost-cutting measure from Triumph. That said, the Scrambler continues to come equipped with features such as a ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control and ABS, LED lighting, and a semi-digital instrument cluster. While that’s a decent features list, what we do feel is that Triumph should’ve taken this opportunity to offer features like a bi-directional quick-shifter and cruise control as part of this update, as these features would’ve made the Scrambler a formidable offering in the sub-400cc space. Other than that, Triumph has retained the cycle parts from the older bike. So, it continues with the non-adjustable USD forks and a preload-adjustable monoshock, while braking hardware includes disc brakes at both ends. The 2026 Scrambler 400 X's single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor displaces 349cc and makes 36.5bhp at 8,500rpm and a peak torque of 32Nm at 7,000rpm. Compared to the 398cc engine, the power and torque are down by 3bhp and 5.5Nm, respectively, and the torque is developed higher in the rev range. Triumph has gone for an over-square layout to maintain the engine’s character. The stroke has been reduced from 64mm to 56.1mm now. The company claims it has optimised the crankshaft and the con-rods with higher inertia for better stability at higher speeds. The balancer has been retuned for fewer vibrations, and the air intake system has been optimised with bigger connecting tubes and entry ducts for more air flow and better power delivery. In the real world, the engine feels very refined for the most part. There is some buzz around 8,000rpm, but it doesn’t feel bothersome. Triumph has done a good job with engine tractability, which is helped in equal measure by the 14-tooth front sprocket, which is unchanged from before. The company hasn’t changed the gearing on the updated Scrambler, and the bike still feels short-geared. That said, the mid-range has taken a hit, and the engine doesn’t feel as punchy as the older 398cc unit. This is particularly noticeable in roll-on acceleration or when you want to make a quick overtake. It does warrant a gear change to perform the overtaking manoeuvre. Even the top-end feels slightly dull compared to the older motor. Now, I can say this because I own the earlier Scrambler 400 X. For most first-time riders of this bike, the difference would be marginal and barely noticeable. Similar to the design and quality, the hardware hasn't been updated either. So, the new Scrambler 400 X continues to offer the same ride quality and comfort as the older model. The bike feels easy to handle, be it filtering through city traffic or even taking on your favourite twisty roads. Despite the 19-inch front wheel, it responds quickly to steering inputs, and the bike feels sharp and predictable around corners. The ride quality is well-judged and comfortable for the most part. As long as you aren’t too aggressive with your inputs, the ride feels absorbent and stable. That said, the suspension does feel a bit bouncy over bumpy roads as the speeds go past the triple-digit mark. Even the braking hardware has been retained, and this is one negative that Triumph should’ve addressed. The bike still comes equipped with organic brake pads at the front, and as a result, the braking performance feels a bit lacking. The initial bite is just about average, and although the progression is good, it has a wooden or spongy lever feel. Should You Buy It? So, did Triumph just lose one of its great entry-level engines? Well, not entirely. The new 349cc motor still feels refined, smooth, and tractable. That said, it does lack a bit of poke in the mid-range, especially in in-gear roll-on acceleration. Even the top end is slightly dull compared to the earlier 400cc motor. But I can only tell this difference because I own the earlier Scrambler 400 X. New buyers may not feel a giant gap in performance. In fact, what we’re seeing here is a shift from outright performance to calculated practicality. Now, if you are in the market to buy the Scrambler 400 X or any Triumph 400 for that matter, I would suggest you visit your nearest Triumph dealership and check if there are any original 398cc units available for sale. If available, I’d suggest you buy those bikes and enjoy the full Triumph 400 experience, as the price difference is marginal. If the 400s aren’t available, then you can go for the 349cc bikes. The difference isn’t huge, and you wouldn’t be missing much. We will be doing a detailed road test soon, and that’s when we will tell you about the touring performance of this 349cc unit and how it performs while off-road riding. So, stay tuned.

Critical Review of Triumph Scrambler 400x Service Cost: ₹2k for first service at 1k km/45 days, ₹5-6k for next yearly services at 1 year/16k km (I would suggest 10k km because dusty Indian roads).Mileage: 25kmpl regular city traffic, 22kmpl just stop and go traffic, 30kmpl with mature throttle control and non peak hours city rides, 20-22kmpl when high revving and regularly reaching excess of 120kmph.Build Quality: It's in a class of it's own at this price range (especially speed 400) and is on par with the bikes 1 segment above it. It's better than royal Enfield 650's and KTM 390's (including adv). No competition in it, from switches to welds, it is a true Triumph in that regard.Engine: One of the most well made single cylinder engine, as if it's made by the Japanese. It has virtually 0 buzz from 2.5-4k and at 5k. At 4.5k and 5.5-7k rpm, there is slight buzz (not vibes) in the break level and handlebar, but it's still less than the competition, including the new Himalayan 450. From 7k onwards, they're very noticeable but fun if you want a more lively, sporty feeling. If you don't like that at all, don't worry, in 6th gear you can cruise till 120 without any significant buzziness. Low end torque is again one of the best, starting from 2.5k rpm itself (and better than the new Himalayan). Although low end torque is higher on the new Harley Davidson 440, but considering it isn't a long stroke bike, it's a close match. It doesn't lack torque anywhere, be it low, mid or high range. Top end (7k+ rpm) of KTM's are better but they lose out in mid and bottom end by big margin.There was a common problem with engine cutting off on low gears. Not everyone faced it but it was common. Triumph issued a new ECU update and specifically asked all of us to get it installed, so it means they're listening to issues and feedback and it did fix stalling of many people, however some bag eggs do remain. It's possible that this issue is the same as other Triumph bikes, you can check that link in the comments.Handling: It's a tall bike at 835mm but it's far more navigable in heavy traffic because of its weight distribution and rake angle. It's more manoeuvrable than cruisers like highness and at par with V storm 250. V storm is lighter than this so that bike will be more confidence inspiring but once you get used to the weight, they're pretty even. Having a 19inch wheel instead of 21inch also helps with this aspect, giving best of both the world's, city travel and light to medium off-roading.Tires: They are average in normal conditions and I wish they were better in wet or sandy conditions. It's possible for a fishtail to happen in wet conditions (happened with me but only once). This would be the biggest area of improvement, but they don't stop you from going anywhere. (I haven't driven in snow areas so can't say about that) Headlights: They're average. The grill does affect the brightness slightly, but the throw and brightness is ok. Not great, not terrible. But because they're white LED's, you'll have trouble in fog. Highway performance and Windblast: This is more or less like a naked bike so expect similar levels of windblast. Past 110 it hits you strong and you won't be able to ride nonstop at that speed for long, but then again, you shouldn't because our roads are far from perfect. Highway performance is great but cruisers and adventure tourer's will be more comfortable. However the bike won't prevent you from going anywhere comfortably.The official fly windscreen deflects the wind to the upper chest/shoulders (chest only if you're 6+ feet) so it means more wind on your helmet. You can keep this in mind if you plan on getting it. Suspension: Front suspension is amazing. Right amount of rebound, damping and travel. Himalayan suspension are better, but with these, you won't fell like you're missing out on anything except when you're doing extreme off-roading, then it will bottom out. Rear suspension is slightly more stiffer and has higher rebound. If you've driven regular bikes, they're still better. If you've driven off road/adv bikes, the rebound and stiffness would seem on the higher side. But this happens only when riding solo without luggage. Being able to adjust rear suspension preload is a plus. Electronic: Traction Control and rear ABS are switchable. I can't comment on their effectiveness but so far, they haven't been intrusive. Speedometer does have an error of 5-10%, which I feel is on the higher side when riding on triple digits. Fuel gauge and mileage isn't very accurate and tachometer is a bit small so it's hard to read, otherwise instrument cluster is clear and easy to read. All LED's are also bright and very good. Brakes: They're organic brake pads so they are very progressive and don't have very sharp breaking which is good and needed when riding off-road. But this also means that they take slightly longer to stop the bike on regular roads compared to sintered pads and would last slightly less. You can change them with Speed 400's Brembo break pads that are sintered for around ₹2200. Nothing wrong with current breaks, they are good and solid but can certainly be upgraded to excellent ones if you don't go off-road. Radiator fan: The fan turns on often because the bike is liquid cooled (happens with all liquid cooled bikes when they're standstill) and it's very big so it's noise might irritate you. But it doesn't blow too hot of air and it's directed below your knees so they don't ruin your experience. The radiator fan is one of the biggest I've seen which is good because it'll keep engine temperature in check. Mud protection: It's better than CB350RS but still not too good. You would get some dirt thrown off in wet roads on your chest (very light) and some on your back. Windscreen will most likely save you from front wheel splash (not tested by me). Triumph does sell extra mud protection kit as accessory which makes the stock mud guard longer. I recently installed it so I'll update the post after testing it properly.
