That is a gorgeous looking machine! I hope it handles as well as it looks. I’m too old to consider a new bike, or I could be shelling out for one of those. I’ll continue to bimble around on old machines! Hope the Iceland trip is a wonderful one. Go well, go safe! Les
Spend your money on the travel; not the bike. You are so damn right! I luckily learned this from a young age. I was fishing with my father and a friend of his in the lake by his friend's farm. My father and I both had proper rods but the only fish we caught that day were the numerous trouts our host landed on a beaten up small kid's rod with a button operated reel. My father said 'that just shows you: It's the man; not the gear'.
I took a breath at the cost of the wheels and suspension, but then thought how much bike you now get for still not too much money, and it is top notch. The hub, the rims, the tubeless function, the suspension, and the add-ons. And well, just look at it! Looking forward to seeing how it performs in Iceland, and for watching the adventures over there. Cheers from NZ. Ride safe.
Why do all the Brits love the look of the Matte Green tank with the Phantom Black side covers? Looks like a patchwork quilt. The matching Phantom Black tank really brings out the genius of the paint scheme. It makes it a work of art.
there was an over supply of the green model at launch. They were easier to get than the others, which is probably a large reason for the tip towards green.
Aí sim trabalhou pra realmente fazer do jeito que vc quer...não apenas mudar o pinhão pra caixa ficar diferente... Pra vc eu tiro o chapéu...parabéns pelo trabalho
Nice job! Considering the spoke wheel and tire setup for my speed 400 (not x scrambler) Lots of dirt and gravel roads around my area. Thanks for sharing!
Have you done anything to cure the snatchy throttle at low down speeds? I have one and love it apart from the snatchy throttle which makes low speed riding a pain, otherwise a surprisingly punchy engine from 400cc
Definitely looking to see how this new motor holds up reliability/maintenance wise.... I have my eyes on a Scrambler 400X as a potential bike just to do some light offroading and around town riding while being cheap.
Great looking bike Nate - one thing, have you considered unbolting the centre portion of the front fender and reattaching it above the support brackets - that might well give you some valuable extra clearance for those chunkier tyres?
Looks awesome I sold my 400X after 7000km but would be tempted to get one like yours once you set it up call it a 400XE-it’s a great little engine and looks amazing but the NX500 I replaced it with is better for the touring I do here which is more on road
Just found you. I just got hold of one. I'm interested in what you do with it. I won't be going to the full extent you have, but I would like to improve the stock bike.
Got one of these arriving in the next week or two. Defo getting those wheels. - you did say when you first got the 400x, you felt it was more of a pop out for an hour or two bike and then head home. Now it's off to Iceland - decided it'll make a good long distance tourer now?
At the end of the video you mentioned that Rally Raid was working on a lowering solution for the 400X,. wouldn't people just buy the 400 Street version if they wanted a lower bike? Or am I missing something there? BTW, the 400X looks amazing now. Have fun!
Brilliant - NEEDS tail tide please 🙂- man those wheels and rack set it off - why do bikes look 10x better with knobby tyres? 40 years riding dirtbikes you would think i would be over the knobby tyre thing but nope - see this with knobby on and it just looks harder, faster, more fun and ready for end of the world mad max fuel hunting missions etc - LOVE IT. Oh and have a safe and enjoyable trip !
bike looks gorgeous and should perform significantly better with suspension upgrades. I think for the total outlay, there are more accomplished bikes out there capable of doing road miles in comfort and off-road miles without falling apart, but that's not really what this Scrambler is about. Few people are going to drop the best part of £8K on a bike like this and rag it off road, but the same can be said for most of the 'adventure bikes' out there. Looking forward to seeing how you get on in Iceland....and good to see RR taking on another challenge
Picked up my 400x last week, love it but will definetly play around with the suspension and spoked wheels…loved your Island viedeos, you put the 400x through quite some off-roading . Cheers!
These exact 3 bikes you mentioned Him 450, KTM 390 Adv and Triumph 400 are on my shopping list but did not test ride any yet. How would you rate them againts each other...?
They're all in their own way Great engine in the triumph. Great chassis in the Himalayan. Probably the KTM has the best compromise and were if not for the cf moto 450 mt, would probably be the one out of the three I'd go for. The triumph with the KTM suspension would be brilliant however.
@@leslieaustin151 TracTive are a Dutch suspension company (who are business to business only, they do not retail directly) - which Rally Raid have partnered with for over 10 years to manufacture specific suspension to their designs and specifications for the bikes they concentrate on: KTM690, CB500X, G310GS, Tenere 700, CRF300 and now the Triumph 400. All of Rally Raid's suspension is exclusive to them, although you can also buy a version of some shocks for certain bikes like the Tenere from other sources.
@@nathanthepostman Oh great. what do you think 150mm travel in front is enough to handle some beginner trail and offroad. because I do own scrambler 400x but I am skeptical about 150mm stock suspension travel? whats your view on this Thanks form India
I had one of these for n order but cancelled after the test ride, engine was great but that front was simply terrible. I wouldn’t personally worry about £1200 for the wheels just to make it look pretty but 8-900 to transform the suspension would money well spent but it does then make it cost the same or more than some decent competition.

how much weight can the rear rack take?
@@itz4kixAKAI would imagine the same as a pillion passenger as it replaces the pillion seat
Hello Nathan, hey man there is nothing listed on the rally raid website for the 400x. Triumph Scrambler 400x No products found. Any insight?
@@richardkolk7850też nic niewidziałem,a motor wygląda świetnie
So what was the cost of the rally raid kit ?
Best looking 400x out there so far! Well done Nathan and Rally Raid!
Looks like a Triumph should, and probably goes like one too… Mr Turner would approve! Have a great trip.
That is a gorgeous looking machine! I hope it handles as well as it looks. I’m too old to consider a new bike, or I could be shelling out for one of those. I’ll continue to bimble around on old machines! Hope the Iceland trip is a wonderful one. Go well, go safe! Les
The bike looks awesome. I definitely want this kit on my 400x

You have made the 400x very beautiful, it is the best looking motorcycle so far
Rally Raid is doing great things for motorbiking - Happy trails in Iceland!
Have a great trip to Iceland, your Lejog and Ireland adventures were excellent fun.
This is best looking motorcycle that I have ever seen in my entire life.
I really like this channel. Interesting stuff, nicely presented and no patronizing BS. Ciao.
Can’t wait for the cf 450mt review as well. Safe journey Nathan an crew.

The first 400X with spoked wheels I bet! Pleased Rally Raid has taken up the challenge
Gorgeous. 400X on the short list for the next addition to the stable. Excellent point on the smaller versus larger bike for travel.

British Racing Green...the country's colours when race cars were identified by their colours...Germany was silver,for instance!
Looks absolutely mint. Would love to get a set of those wheels if I got a 400x. Looking forward to your 450MT review 👀
That looks like a much more serious and more fun bike now. Well done!
And love the colour matched adventure crocs to go with it. 😉
Aí sim trabalhou pra realmente fazer do jeito que vc quer...não apenas mudar o pinhão pra caixa ficar diferente...
Pra vc eu tiro o chapéu...parabéns pelo trabalho
Looking 10x better than supplied😂
Total price for looks ?
Super excited to get mine so I can apply these upgrades!
Hi. Looks sharp! Was wondering where the link to the Amazon hand guards was?
They look like the handguards I fitted to my 411. Search for JFG Racing or Goofit.
Insane!! But why didnt you use a engine protector? It was the first thing I bought for my 400x! Have a good trip!
Nice job! Considering the spoke wheel and tire setup for my speed 400 (not x scrambler) Lots of dirt and gravel roads around my area. Thanks for sharing!

Love the gold spoke wheels!
Would like a stout skid/bash plate too along with the Rally Raid items added on to the 400X.
Do you have a link for the handguards? Thanks
Looks fantastic
Looks great...excellent Job!
Great Advice about traveling. I'm going to do a trip around the USA for a few months. Considering this as my muel. I'm torn.
Looks great, can I ask where you got the amazon hand guards? Had a look but couldn’t locate them
Definitely looking to see how this new motor holds up reliability/maintenance wise.... I have my eyes on a Scrambler 400X as a potential bike just to do some light offroading and around town riding while being cheap.
Tasteful mods and practical. All the best for Iceland trip.
It now looks like the bike that Triumph should have released. It is a beautiful-looking machine I hope you find it performs as well as it looks.
That is a lovely looking bike even more so with that extra bling 👍🏻
Great looking bike Nate - one thing, have you considered unbolting the centre portion of the front fender and reattaching it above the support brackets - that might well give you some valuable extra clearance for those chunkier tyres?
Good shout Jenny. I'll try that.
Love the spiked rims , who makes them
She’s a beauty mate! Happy trails. Those wheels would look good on my green Honda ct125.
Great looking bike!
That looks absolutely amazing mate :)
Where could I get the luggage rack, to eliminate the passenger seat?
What make Luggage rack is that you fit in the place of the spare seat. Thanks
Bike looks splendid!
Awesome bike very good work ! Is it possible for you to share the link to the spoked rim you fitted? thanks and safe travels!
How can I jack up the rear wheel to remove it? Are there swing arm bushes for this? I can't find any threaded mounts for this on the swingarm.
Me encanta, yo estaba viendo la Fantic Caballero, pero esta me está gustando más, las llantas que marca son?
Me encanta como la has dejado!!
Looks awesome I sold my 400X after 7000km but would be tempted to get one like yours once you set it up call it a 400XE-it’s a great little engine and looks amazing but the NX500 I replaced it with is better for the touring I do here which is more on road
Is the caster angle stock or custom?
Looks fantastic, wow!
Bike looks excellent 👏
Thanks Bj
Just found you. I just got hold of one. I'm interested in what you do with it. I won't be going to the full extent you have, but I would like to improve the stock bike.
wont this void the manufacturers warranty ?
Looks SO good!
Hi my friend. I wonder where I can buy the back seat rack~! It looks awesome~!
Hi bo
It's from Rally Raid here in the UK. I don't think they have it listed on their website but will do soon
@@nathanthepostman thanks a lot! I appreciated
Okay... I deffo want one of those rear racks... where from please...??? that looks a lovely bit of kit...
All the kit is from Rally Raid in the uk
Do you use a 14 or a 15 tooth sprocket ?
Looks the part, I think off the road in Iceland is all about a lighter bike. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.
Outstanding looks!!!
Got one of these arriving in the next week or two. Defo getting those wheels. - you did say when you first got the 400x, you felt it was more of a pop out for an hour or two bike and then head home. Now it's off to Iceland - decided it'll make a good long distance tourer now?

BTW, the 400X looks amazing now. Have fun!
Speed 400 has 17" wheels front and rear, the Scrambler has a 19" front wheel and slightly more upright ergonomics.
@jmo2752 Got’cha, thanks.
Hrm, I'm not seeing the link to the hand guards on Amazon
Brilliant - NEEDS tail tide please 🙂- man those wheels and rack set it off - why do bikes look 10x better with knobby tyres? 40 years riding dirtbikes you would think i would be over the knobby tyre thing but nope - see this with knobby on and it just looks harder, faster, more fun and ready for end of the world mad max fuel hunting missions etc - LOVE IT. Oh and have a safe and enjoyable trip !
So right about the tyres, they just look baddass on any bike.
those Tyres make the bike look soooo much better than stock. Wish triumph sold tubeless spoke wheels stock like the new himalyan
How can i order these spoke wheels fpr my scrambler
Brother please link for spoke rims
Any thoughts of switching the front sprocket to a 15 tooth?
gold rims seem a bit much. pairing it with the red tank, though...
Where can I buy those racks? Especialy the one on the pillion SEAT.
Rally Raid will have them on their website sometime soon
What chain did you get for it? I just noticed my stock chain is stretching too
The wheels transform it. They look stunning. Expensive option, though. Nick
Does anyone know what break and clutch levers are those?

I believe you should be able to. Message the guys at rally raid

Personally I would not have stainless spokes as they can crack. The rims are great and rally raiding parts look sensible.
What rims are those....looks nice.
beautiful buddy.....scrambler 400x...👍👍👍👍

Sold out.

U.K. engineered? The suspension units come from Holland. 🙂
Manufactured in Holland from English engineering designs.

What is the weight difference between stock wheels and tyres and the RR/AX41 combo?
Not sure to be honest. Will try and find out later
Beautiful bike!
Any talk of an exhaust for this bike? Would love to hear it more beefy
Haven't looked into it. I quite like the look of the stock one though
Looks great, except you gotta take those warning stickers off the tank
Is that a cf450,Mt in the background
It is yes
@@nathanthepostman which dealership did you get if from
Swindon @@taylorphilip5499
good advice thanks
How much work was there removing the pillion seat?
Just a key and turn
Amazing!
Is it sock suspension in the front?
Yes,still stock suspension on the front. The new front kit wasn't ready in time for the trip
@@nathanthepostman Oh great.
what do you think 150mm travel in front is enough to handle some beginner trail and offroad.
because I do own scrambler 400x but I am skeptical about 150mm stock suspension travel?
whats your view on this
Thanks form India
Someone please convince Triumph to make a Scrambler 400EX with long travel suspension and 21 inch/18 inch spoked wheels.
With such a poor quality chain fitted do you think we can expect premature wear on what is possibly poor quality sprockets as well?
I think everything is going to wear out prematurely going by the chain and brake pads!
The bike triumph should have made direct from the factory!
Hej, wyślij ten filmik do producenta,niech zobaczy jak powinien wyglądać ich produkt.Jest idealnie.
Tubeless spoke wheels … worth every penny the first time you get a flat ! 👍🏻
