The much-awaited Triumph Scrambler 400 X has finally been launched in India at Rs 2,62,996 (ex-showroom Delhi), commanding a premium of roughly Rs 30,000 over the Speed 400. It can be booked at Rs 10,000 on Triumph’s website.
Triumph Scrambler 400 X – What It Is?
Based on the Triumph Speed 400, the Scrambler is essentially an off-road capable version of the former, developed in association with Bajaj Auto. However, the Scram version features some distinct characteristics that set it apart from its roadster counterpart. These include: –
A seat height of 835mm – 45mm more than the Speed 400
A ground clearance of 195mm – 25mm more than the Speed 400
Rake angle of 23.2 º – Speed has of 24.6 º
A wheelbase of 1418mm – 41mm longer than the Speed 400
Kerb weight of 185kg – 9kg more than the Speed 400
Switchable ABS and Traction Control – Speed 400 misses out on switchable ABS
Larger 19-inch front wheel
150mm of wheel travel at both ends (Speed 400 has a shorter suspension travel of 140mm upfront and 130mm at the rear)
100/90-19 front and 140/80-17 rear tyre setup with spoke wheels
A larger 320mm front brake – 20mm bigger than Speed 400.
Design-wise, both bikes look largely the same; however, the Scrambler 400X further gets body graphics, a headlight grille, knuckle guards, a padded handlebar brace, split seat, an optional raised fender, and double-stacked exhausts.
The Scrambler 400 X is available in three colour options: Matt Khaki Green and Fusion White, Carnival Red and Phantom Black, and Phantom Black and Silver.
At the heart of the Scrambler 400 X is the same 398cc, liquid-cooled, 4-valve engine as the Triumph Speed 400 that churns out 40PS power at 8,0000 rpm and 37.5Nm of peak torque at 6500rpm.
