The mid-capacity scrambler segment has recently welcomed a new member in the form of the Triumph Scrambler 400X, which takes on the likes of Royal Enfield Scram 411 and Yezdi Scrambler. So, here we have compared all these three offerings to know how they stack up against each other.

| Engine | 398cc, single-cylinder, DOHC | 411cc, Single-cylinder, Air-Cooled, SOHC | 334cc, single-cylinder, DOHC |

- Due to its larger displacement engine, the Triumph Speed 400 X has a power advantage over its rivals, which should provide a more exhilarating and enjoyable riding experience.
- The Triumph and Yezdi scramblers also benefit from liquid cooling technology, which is a more efficient approach for reducing engine heat compared to the Scram 411’s air-oil-cooled method, especially during high-performance riding.

- The Royal Enfield Scram 411 has the longest wheelbase, highest ground clearance and largest fuel tank in its class, providing it an edge over its rivals. However, these attributes contribute to it being the heaviest among all. It also outperforms the others in terms of suspension travel, making it more off-road adventure capable.
- Based on the hybrid perimeter frame, the Triumph Scrambler 400 X gets a USD fork up front and a monoshock at the rear, which should provide better handling characteristics. However, with limited wheel travel, it will be more suitable for riders who primarily spend their time on paved surfaces and go off-road occasionally. On the other hand, the Yezdi Scrambler also provides a fine blend of on-road comfort and off-road capability. But, the Triumph is superior between the two.

Conclusion
The all-new Triumph Scrambler 400 X justifies its hefty price tag with its powerful engine and premium set of features, but it may not be well suited to shorter riders. The Royal Enfield Scram, on the other hand, excels in off-road performance but lacks comfort & convenience features, especially the switchable ABS and traction control system. Lastly, the Yezdi Scrambler offers a balance between the two and is also a budget-friendly choice.
Now, the question arises: which bike should you choose?
- Buy Royal Enfield Scram 411 if you love to enjoy off-roading and trail riding.
- Opt for the Yezdi Scrambler if you mostly ride in the city with occasional adventure escape.
- Go with the Triumph Scrambler 400 X if budget isn’t an issue and you want a feature-rich bike with great handling characteristics and moderate off-road capabilities.
