Your introduction is the biggest unspoken truth in motorcycling. Coming back to motorcycling, over 2.5 seasons of factory test rides allowed me to see what I like, what I don’t like, and in my case, sitting on a scram 411 in a showroom, I dismissed it as not comfortable. I had 30 mins to kill before going to a BMW ride. An RE Scram 411 was available, so I took it out. It put such a smile on my face, and supremely comfortable for 3hr rides. I was sold on the spot. Keep on spreading the truth! People need to ride the bikes for themselves!
Earlier I was 90% sure, that am gonna buy this machine…. & after 24mins of watching this, now am 400(x)% sure that this is what I needed my bike to be. Thank you for this review.
There are two types of Reviewers/Channels that make sense and entertain, you guys and Motirinc. Everyone else seems useless almost. You guys are Very different but equally effective. Why we like more is that You make us understand the vehicle in such a simple manner that there's nothing else left. Very relatable content. Thank you
What a review! 24 minutes and it never felt like a review...just two passionate people having a fun convo over a bike they like, laughing their heart out! Such positive vibes...loved it, BBC :) This...This is my bike , I'm sure. Looking forward to get this one day
I gave a crack at both 400x & Himalayan on the same day. both ticked different boxs, felt the weight on Himalayan the moment I took it off the stand. Was in a dilemma, the next day I closed my eye to realise my tongue was out like dog but when I was on 400x. Booked the scrambler 400x. Waiting for the delivery.
I have been triumph owner for 40+ years. Now three years not! Seeing this bike I just realiced, must have one probably my last one. Right now waiting for delivery in april. I don't care about every detail in handling or performance, it's just so beautiful. Lookin forwad to this summer and all that follows.
Just bought this bike today-my first major purchase! Your videos have been incredibly helpful throughout my decision-making process. I've been following your content for a few months now, and your reviews stand out as some of the most genuine. Thanks so much for all the great advice!
I bought this bike on an impulse. Have risen it about 1100kms on twisties. Absolutely love the stance which lends into the overall handling of the bike. For someone who is wanting to get back on a bike after about 18 years, it’s not intimidating and just too much fun. Can’t wait for all the adventures that await. Love your reviews guys. Very entertaining and informative.
Any day this is a better motorcycle than it's own sibling speed 400. Even for everyday city commuting, no off-road, no touring, only office going machine (for which the speed is made of) the 400x shines. Triumph's & Bajaj's collaboration gives us one of the finest and best motorcycle of this segment and more importantly made the market competitive 😁
Sir I’m grateful for this review you have provided. I have been looking for a machine which does it all, look outs were Honda CB300r, Duke 250, RE Himalayan 452 & 400x. My technical search ends today after seeing your review. My next step is to ride all of the above. Based on what I have learnt so far I’m pretty sure I will end up buying the 400x !! Thank you so much again.
Your enthu. is contagious, one more ex. of "age doesn't matter". u ppl r inspiring, i guess 350-400cc are perfect for Indian conditions (40hp-40nm), i have big bike, fast and mile muncher but not practical in the city, these 350-400cc bikes are all-rounders, a twin 400cc scrambler/tourer will be great addition to the Indian market.
Thanks fellahs! Great bit of extra confirmation bias. Definitely at the top of my current wish list. I am a Londoner, who only goes for short rides these days, either across the busy city, or a day’s jaunt to the nearby countryside. I am 6’4” tall, but at 72 years old, I am done with big heavy bikes now. This looks just the ticket for me, (shame about the gold forks though, spoils the retro look a bit IMO).
I am owning the scrambler for ladt two weeks and agree to all the positive comments by you. It's amazing machine and I am enjoying it for sure. Few things could have been better like horn, headlight and side stand angle.
Hi Bosky and CK I booked my Scrambler 400x yesterday. Was getting the black ex stock but will wait 3 weeks for the olive green.. Problem is..i rode 300km to Bhubaneswar Triumph- on a friends Harley 440x that was due for 1st service. The way the Harley handled on acc of engine, chassis & suspension was..wowww So i booked the Scrambler, but decided to ease out my existing Enfields 500(2016) & 650(2021) and get the HD440 . For my next tour of NE in April will be spoilt for choice between the Elegant ClassyScrambler & the Robust n Ready 440x... For long term ownership and touring i would trust the Harley better..air cooled plus it seems built like a tractor.. Enjoy your work guys, keep em coming. Salute
You two are just amazing! I enjoy watching reviews from you two. I was so delighted to see this one especially!! After watching this video, I am very happy and more convinced that i bought the best value for money versatile ride machine. ❤️
Hi @Bigbearbangalore - satisfying to see the feedback on my choices are good!. As after a long wait of searching a mid range segment bikes. With a lot of choices / watching reviews / multiple test rides for more than a 3 years noe. I finally choose a Triumph scrambler 400X and waiting for the delivery of the same. I will wait for more videos on accessories, safety, & riding gears. My previous options were BMW310gs, Himalayan 450, 390 Adventure & many more etc., 🙄
This is the best. I tried himalayan 450, scrambler 400x and my dominar 250. The scrambler is powerful, smooth, great seating and tireless riding experience. Dominarc250 is second and 450 comes last. Best singles are 400x and CB300r.
Handling and heavyness(too much) are the things that we suffer from RE bikes on a whole .. This bike fixes these 2 major issues making Triumph togo bike for City commute👍
The full quote goes “Jack of all trades, master of none but oftentimes better than the master of one”. The more I see and ride this bike, the more I am sold on this and how lovely it is as jack of all trades. Loved this conversation Bosky!!
ive heard of second childishness setting in after 60 years. but you both remind us all of our child to teenage transition stages. wish there were motorcycle brands like this having affordable motorcycles during the 90's
You continue to confirm my decision about ordering this bike. So looking forward to getting back out there. I appreciate the way your tell stories and share your passion for what you do. Keep the awesome coming and I am ready for mine to arrive in Alabama.
@@bigbearbangalore I will be using my bike to deliver bacon and travel to personal chef events in our area. There is a burger and a beer waiting for you if you can make it to BILL-E’s in Fairhope, Alabama.
@@bigbearbangalore the Triumph accessories I like are the small windscreen, center tank pad, luggage rack, and the high mud guard. Not sure if upgraded seat is worth the expense, but it does look sharp. I want both the upper and lower engine bars. Still not sure if the upper one comes with the bike. The reviews from India say that it does. I still can’t get a straight answer on that. I also like the bullet style turn lights. Again not sure it’s worth the add on price. Luggage has been a big thought and I believe the Mosko Moto Reckless 80 will solve all my needs with a Triumph specific Cruz Tools kit in the Fatty Tool Roll. For Navigation I will be using the REVER App with my IPhone on a Quad lock mount.
As an owner of this amazing motorcycle, I can verify that everything that is discussed in this video is true! Always such a joy to watch your videos. Also please do share links for accessories that you have added to it!
Thanks. I bought all at physical stores and not online. The accessories are all from rhe dealership, the mirrors are from Happy Earth Mounts Bangalore.
I was owning duke 200, and upgraded to Scrambler 400x. When I bought duke I was 26 years old and It was apt for that age!! Now I am 35 years old and Scrambler feels apt for now!! Very calm and yet revz like a hunter when needed!! One thing I did not like is the waiting period for accessories, which I have been told by the triumph that they have resolved the issues with suppliers and in a month it shall be available with good amount of stock!! Want to see the bike with loaded accessories ❤
In a personal comment to a fellow test rider I said the same thing. Triumph intended to design the Scrambler and once it was ready they tweaked it a bit and created the Speed so that they can give a tussle to RE.
Enjoyed this interactive analysis and the unalloyed exuberance in both .. I think you both feel as excited as college going youths explaining the virtues of this bike as I felt during my heydays owing a RX 100 ❤
Flabbergasted on your review Sir. Spoke absolutely what I am feeling everyday riding my scrambler❤. On another note, yesterday I got a news that Triumph is planning a backrest and centre stand for Scrambler 400x. I hope it gets launched soon. I was in a need of backrest and hence purchased and assembled it, and later got the news. I purchased the one which sits on the OEM handlebars and hence we do not sacrifice the pretty grab handles. Hope the news will help others, so they can wait a couple of months and get the accessories, if at all the news is true.
I ride a BS4 Duke 200, one thing I have to admit, after the test ride I could not feel that it's almost 30KGs heavier. The weight distribution is done brilliantly. The availability of torque gave me a big smile. Even though I'm 5'8" the height wasn't an issue for me. Now I'm about to book it very soon.
Refreshing to watch a review like this - 2 middle-aged friends with a great sense of humour, thanks, Boski and CK! If you both were college together this is how you would've discussed and reviewed the hot babe in class! 😁 On a serious note, I have no issues as such with my Scrambler. However, if I were to nitpick, I would complain about the gear shift - doesn't feel as smooth, and feels clunky sometimes. No issues with the clutch, which is smooth as butter! I really wish this bike came with a heel shifter as well....planning to fix one soon....
Thank you for the review. I too own a Scrambler 400X, and have done my first 1,000 Km on it now. I love it. One thing I noticed though, is that at low speeds - anything below 40 Km/hr - the motorcycle exhibits some jerkiness. It doesn't matter which gear I am on. And this happens on perfectly flat, smooth road surfaces while keeping a steady throttle. It does not go smoothly, but rather continuous back-and-forth jerking, and the slower you go, the more noticeable it is. Is this normal? I am looking for feedback from people who own the bike. Is this a normal single-cylinder behavior, or is there something wrong with my bike? Thank you.
Great review 👏 👌 looks like all the seasoned motorcyclists are realising the value of mid capacity or lighter motorcycle are more practical and make more sense ,rather than heavy large capacity motorcycles. More fun ,more usable power,less maintenance cost and larger service network ,guess we are witnessing one of the best era in motorcycling with a wide range in choice and all made in 🇮🇳 motorcycles.
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to take a short test ride of the Scrambler 400X. Regrettably, the buzz coming from the foot pegs and the seat detracted from our overall experience. I had a pillion with me, and both of us were able to perceive these vibrations even at lower speeds. Despite this, I found the motorcycle's posture, suspension, and responsive engine commendable. I am curious whether the pronounced vibrations were a result of the test drive vehicle enduring extensive/abusive use by various individuals and reviewers? Additionally, I am interested in understanding if these vibrations become exasperating during highway cruising. Thank you.
Middle weight single will have this buzz. 400X, H450 and 390Adv all have the buzz in the legs. Especially if one’s coming from a smaller cc vehicle, this is something to get used to. And also get used to the heat and also the engine noise. All part of the package!
TS400x is unbridled in city traffic due to stalling issues continuously. And wide turning radius with spongy breaks for city over Himalayan 450. If they sort out these than weight is an advantage but you can reduce same in h450 as well.
I am a 52 years old beginner looking for my first motorcycle (I am 1,82cm high with 110kg weight). Question : Triumph scram 400x or RE Himalayan 450 !? Will do 70% commuting (work etc..) and 30% light touring. Thanx a lot and you have best vlogs and reviews!!! Cheers :)
I have been confused what to buy for last one months, booked Scrambler 400x long back but never went to take the TD, himalayan 450 is never available for TD at most of the RE centres, Took TD for Scrambler,felt good ,No initial stalling great Exhaust Note, good punch, but size felt bit small, then went to look for KTM Adventure 390X( big fan till I rode) , delear arranged a customer bike for TD almost 2000 kms done 1st servicing done, still it stalled in 1st gear 2 times, the vibrations so much the console vibrates everytime you start the same
That was a great conversation. I too have the scrambler. I agree with all the points. But the braking for me is not very confidence inspiring. I mostly ride in the city and occasionally on highways, what's your take on replacing the brake pads with the speed's? Speed's braking was more to my liking and I don't see myself off-roading too often.
I booked himalayan 450 & took trst ride & then took test rode of Trium scram 400x ... OMG sach trium was bestum , wheathers its tje feel or tje quality used in trium. Now i m goona goi t to cancel himalayan n wanna buy Scram trium
Hello Bosky and CK, the review looked like a conversation (in a good way). I would like to know what mileage you are getting on this bike? I believe that was not discussed, please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks and keep up the good work 👍
Great review Bosky. Got my Himalayan earlier last week and it seems like this is good at everything the himalayan is bad at. City rides, commute, low end torque, fit and finish. I do think they both heat up to a similar extend. Do you not mind the vibrations at high revs? I found it very jarring especially since the bike is butter smooth at low revs.
Thanks. I would not say one is good at what the other is bad at. That too extreme. The purpose of for each is different. And I don’t find the buzz intrusive.
Genuinely speaking, except you only I think Sunmi's video about motorcycles makes some sense...though he talks so much about KTM 390, nevertheless. But you are at next level.
I guess you have saved the negatives for your next video. I rode both the Speed and the scrambler and definitely the Scrambler makes sense in terms of Suspension, Foot peg position, posture with the handlebar, pick up and all other things you ve said.. however, would I BUY one..hmm may be not so soon.. after my ride yesterday on the scrambler my thighs were thoroughly cooked. The braking was also below par to my liking. The finish of the silencer wasn't great either..looked very aftermarket- Not sure if it's the same with all others, but the one I rode from Keerthi motors on JP Nagar, definitely had my thighs wanting to dip them in cold water. Also, did not find it that flickable ( in my opinion the RE Hunter has better flickability). Bike kept stalling at low speeds which is SO IRRITATING 🤔 In my opinion, I would tell myself to wait for Triumph to come up with a 2.0 version negating the niggles..
I like the look & finishing of the Triumph Speed 400 more than the Scrambler 400x & the avaliable color option of Speed 400 as well, but at the same time the Speed 400 feels just little bit compact and the Scrambler seat height is too much high. (My preferably seat height is 805 to max 820 mm & My height is exactly 5 feet 75 inch) & My Traveling areas Consist Of 75% City/NH, 25% Village Road with potholes). I have no problem in spending some extra bucks to get the modifications I want. How can I modified Triumph speed 400 to Scrambler 400x without compromising riding quality ? Or is it a waste of money and foolish to even think about doing so ? I mean I am thinking about to replace Triumph Speed's only front travel suspension or may be both front & Rear (5.9 inches in the front & 5.5 inches or 5.9 inches in the rear), Steel handel bar (901 mm), front Sprocket (14 tooth) & front Wheels (19 Inches) with Scrambler 400x. What will you suggest in this case ? Is such modification possible, if yes, will it affect the riding experience and handling posture or will it cause any other problems in long run ?
Man, y'all love the motorcyle, great review! I notice that CK said he had issues with its highway performance, was wondering if you could elaborate on that?
Heartfelt review! Loved it! Sir what about the tyres? I would assume that tyres also provide a significant differentiation from the Speed. Could you share your thoughts?
Bosky, now you have Himalayan 452 and ScramX…. Just a quick question- What did your better half said after sitting on both the motorcycles, that will be one of a core point to consider 😊
Hello I thinking to buy this bike ,why did you say it's a bad on road bike? Are the vibrations that bad at say 100-120 or can we cruise comfortabley? How is the vibrations @100 120 or 140 can you please elaborate. Thank you
Buy it! It's a great machine. On open highways at speeds above 110 kmph, the wind blast gets quite strong. That's the design of the motorcycle and not a defect. While it is possible to use this on the highway, we find it a bit tiring on long open stretches.
साहेब I'm planning to go for old Himalayan 411 (not scram not 450) may be because of first sight love. Not using for adventure tour or Off road, will be using for regular use, for office. Some time I go for trekking, so it is helpful. What is ur suggestion? Ur thoughts pls 🙏
Howdy bosky. took a test ride of scrambler today and I was convinced this is a good bike. However, by the time I ended my ride, I felt a lot of heat on my right calf muscle. Is that expected or the test ride bike was not upto mark? This would be a deal breaker for me as I am not used to riding this way. I was wearing jeans and shoes.
How will the triumph be in its old age? 🤔 I mean mojo seemed promising when it launched (still is a masterpiece of a machine) but it has aged terribly! I am a one bike person and want to keep her forever! Please help me get out of this confusion shall I go with scrambler 400 or go safe with gurilla!!🙏🏻
Hello Bosky Great content as always. I’ve got a question for you which might be irrelevant for this video but your views really matter. Apart from aspects like the value for money and service, would you consider buying Kawasaki Z650RS and still be able to feel close to what you’re feeling for 400X ?
Good video, enjoyed it.. You being so technically sound, which I really admire, I would like to request you to make a video that explains how the torque and power is available in different bikes at different rpms..every bike specs let us know about 40ps @certain_rpm for example, but is it available from get go, or certain rpms or 20% of that nm and ps is available at 2000 rpms and then 40ps at certain_rpm etc. All of these things matter a lot while choosing a bike, and many people only fall for the top numbers, not many reviewers talk about these power deliveries at different rpms because they themselves do not know, they are only beauty-queen-reviewers, hope this comment will get some consideration :), thank you, keep on making amazing videos with different flavours..!!

Luggage has been a big thought and I believe the Mosko Moto Reckless 80 will solve all my needs with a Triumph specific Cruz Tools kit in the Fatty Tool Roll.
For Navigation I will be using the REVER App with my IPhone on a Quad lock mount.
@billesbacon the upper guards come with the motorcycle. The bullet indicators are a luxury. Luggage in use the Giantloop Great Basin.
@@bigbearbangalore great to here the upper bars are a stock item. That will allow me to apply those funds to get the round lights.
As an owner of this amazing motorcycle, I can verify that everything that is discussed in this video is true! Always such a joy to watch your videos. Also please do share links for accessories that you have added to it!
Thanks.
I bought all at physical stores and not online. The accessories are all from rhe dealership, the mirrors are from Happy Earth Mounts Bangalore.
And the knuckle guards?

@@bigbearbangalore thank you!! ❤️
I was owning duke 200, and upgraded to Scrambler 400x. When I bought duke I was 26 years old and It was apt for that age!! Now I am 35 years old and Scrambler feels apt for now!! Very calm and yet revz like a hunter when needed!!
One thing I did not like is the waiting period for accessories, which I have been told by the triumph that they have resolved the issues with suppliers and in a month it shall be available with good amount of stock!! Want to see the bike with loaded accessories ❤
Thanks for sharing. Yes am waiting for the accessories too. Cheers!
In a personal comment to a fellow test rider I said the same thing. Triumph intended to design the Scrambler and once it was ready they tweaked it a bit and created the Speed so that they can give a tussle to RE.
👍
I always liked a simple classic design like the rx or rd.. Yes this is very close and does all task from bringing kothambri to khardung la 😂.
Well said 🙂👍
Motorcycle is all about how it makes you feel. Not just numbers on a spec sheet.
👍
This is going to be my second bike in my garage. Not anytime soon but in a couple of years probably
👍
Enjoyed this interactive analysis and the unalloyed exuberance in both .. I think you both feel as excited as college going youths explaining the virtues of this bike as I felt during my heydays owing a RX 100 ❤
🙌
Flabbergasted on your review Sir. Spoke absolutely what I am feeling everyday riding my scrambler❤. On another note, yesterday I got a news that Triumph is planning a backrest and centre stand for Scrambler 400x. I hope it gets launched soon. I was in a need of backrest and hence purchased and assembled it, and later got the news. I purchased the one which sits on the OEM handlebars and hence we do not sacrifice the pretty grab handles. Hope the news will help others, so they can wait a couple of months and get the accessories, if at all the news is true.
👍👍👍
This gentle is so good with words n makes us understand everything
🙏
Get mine next month! This made me a lot happier about my choice.
Congrats
I ride a BS4 Duke 200, one thing I have to admit, after the test ride I could not feel that it's almost 30KGs heavier. The weight distribution is done brilliantly. The availability of torque gave me a big smile. Even though I'm 5'8" the height wasn't an issue for me.
Now I'm about to book it very soon.
👍
I am sold just by looking at your excitement :) Hopefully i like too and will own one this year.
Best wishes.
Got one myself, same colour as this one. Love every bit of my travel :). Agree with spot on review
Great to hear! Happy motorcycling. 👍
Refreshing to watch a review like this - 2 middle-aged friends with a great sense of humour, thanks, Boski and CK! If you both were college together this is how you would've discussed and reviewed the hot babe in class! 😁 On a serious note, I have no issues as such with my Scrambler. However, if I were to nitpick, I would complain about the gear shift - doesn't feel as smooth, and feels clunky sometimes. No issues with the clutch, which is smooth as butter! I really wish this bike came with a heel shifter as well....planning to fix one soon....
Many thanks for your comment. Cheers!
Thank you for the review. I too own a Scrambler 400X, and have done my first 1,000 Km on it now. I love it. One thing I noticed though, is that at low speeds - anything below 40 Km/hr - the motorcycle exhibits some jerkiness. It doesn't matter which gear I am on. And this happens on perfectly flat, smooth road surfaces while keeping a steady throttle. It does not go smoothly, but rather continuous back-and-forth jerking, and the slower you go, the more noticeable it is. Is this normal? I am looking for feedback from people who own the bike. Is this a normal single-cylinder behavior, or is there something wrong with my bike? Thank you.
Keep rpm above 2,800 and shift accordingly.
Can't wait to get mine! I pre-ordered it without having tried it back in October, and it should finally be close to delivery here in Denmark
Congrats! Best wishes.
@@bigbearbangalore Thank you, and also thank you for these videos they help keep the spirits up while waiting 🙂
Now I am booking one. Thank you for the detailed review sir. ❤
Great 👍
You guys are fantastic. Hello from New Zealand.
Hello. Thanks.
Uncle I’m buying this after seeing your excitement…If anything goes wrong I’m coming for you

@@bigbearbangalore vohmeegawd…what are you 8 yr old…it took a minutefor me to understand it means OH MY GOD…🤦♂️
8, 80, 88… whatever. Matters not.
After your experience it's very easy to decide that I want a bike like 400x
👍
Great review 👏 👌 looks like all the seasoned motorcyclists are realising the value of mid capacity or lighter motorcycle are more practical and make more sense ,rather than heavy large capacity motorcycles. More fun ,more usable power,less maintenance cost and larger service network ,guess we are witnessing one of the best era in motorcycling with a wide range in choice and all made in 🇮🇳 motorcycles.
Many thanks.
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to take a short test ride of the Scrambler 400X.
Regrettably, the buzz coming from the foot pegs and the seat detracted from our overall experience. I had a pillion with me, and both of us were able to perceive these vibrations even at lower speeds. Despite this, I found the motorcycle's posture, suspension, and responsive engine commendable.
I am curious whether the pronounced vibrations were a result of the test drive vehicle enduring extensive/abusive use by various individuals and reviewers? Additionally, I am interested in understanding if these vibrations become exasperating during highway cruising.
Thank you.
Middle weight single will have this buzz. 400X, H450 and 390Adv all have the buzz in the legs.
Especially if one’s coming from a smaller cc vehicle, this is something to get used to. And also get used to the heat and also the engine noise. All part of the package!
If they can make a Tiger 400 , man that would be exciting 🎉
Indeed!
TS400x is unbridled in city traffic due to stalling issues continuously. And wide turning radius with spongy breaks for city over Himalayan 450. If they sort out these than weight is an advantage but you can reduce same in h450 as well.
👍
Bosky thanks for the video. Waiting for your comparison between scrambler 400x and himalayan 450..
Will do soon
Great review. There seems to be an issue with video at 17:50 where sound and video just hangs
20 second glitch with TH-cam I think. Sorry.
I am a 52 years old beginner looking for my first motorcycle (I am 1,82cm high with 110kg weight). Question : Triumph scram 400x or RE Himalayan 450 !? Will do 70% commuting (work etc..) and 30% light touring. Thanx a lot and you have best vlogs and reviews!!! Cheers :)
Test ride and choose since you are on the heavier side. Seating comfort is important and is personal.
This statement sold it to me : Never missed the xpulse
👍
I have been confused what to buy for last one months, booked Scrambler 400x long back but never went to take the TD, himalayan 450 is never available for TD at most of the RE centres, Took TD for Scrambler,felt good ,No initial stalling great Exhaust Note, good punch, but size felt bit small, then went to look for KTM Adventure 390X( big fan till I rode) , delear arranged a customer bike for TD almost 2000 kms done 1st servicing done, still it stalled in 1st gear 2 times, the vibrations so much the console vibrates everytime you start the same
👍
One month with scram and my heart feels satisfied
👍
Waited for years for these kind of motorcycles to come out but now can't afford them😂😂.
🙏
Beautiful handling ..... Utuns are a bliss .........
Yes they are!
That was a great conversation.
I too have the scrambler. I agree with all the points. But the braking for me is not very confidence inspiring.
I mostly ride in the city and occasionally on highways, what's your take on replacing the brake pads with the speed's? Speed's braking was more to my liking and I don't see myself off-roading too often.
Thanks. Yes I guess you can do that.
I booked himalayan 450 & took trst ride & then took test rode of Trium scram 400x ... OMG sach trium was bestum , wheathers its tje feel or tje quality used in trium. Now i m goona goi t to cancel himalayan n wanna buy Scram trium
👍
Hello Bosky and CK, the review looked like a conversation (in a good way). I would like to know what mileage you are getting on this bike? I believe that was not discussed, please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks and keep up the good work 👍
Tha KS.
About 24 kmpl
Loved the commentary 😊
Glad you enjoyed.
The beasty does an awesome magic after 3 gear .......... ❤❤❤❤❤❤
👍
Great review Bosky. Got my Himalayan earlier last week and it seems like this is good at everything the himalayan is bad at. City rides, commute, low end torque, fit and finish. I do think they both heat up to a similar extend.
Do you not mind the vibrations at high revs? I found it very jarring especially since the bike is butter smooth at low revs.
Thanks. I would not say one is good at what the other is bad at. That too extreme. The purpose of for each is different. And I don’t find the buzz intrusive.
You should do a comparative of the ADV 390 and Trumph scrambler
Noted. We've done the 390Adv vs the H450 already.
Another good and honest review 👍
Please can you mention the brand/kind of mirrors you are having on the scrambler 400x and the cost

Million thanks for the great video Sir..
My pleasure. Thanks.
Love the reviews
🙏🏻
Hey do you stick to using XP95 on your scrambler or do you put regular as well?
I use only regular.
Genuinely speaking, except you only I think Sunmi's video about motorcycles makes some sense...though he talks so much about KTM 390, nevertheless. But you are at next level.
🙏
which channel? and I agree.
@@ajrofficial06 motorinc
Oh god after watching this video the next coming week off I am going to the showroom that is 100 metres away from my home to take a test ride.
Have fun!
Great video. As you're riding scrambler with 835mm does it require to flatfoot on this bike generally? May I know your height if you don't mind
5'9"
Great review. I saw you did not mention highway touring as its strength. Could you please elaborate? What would be a comfortable cruising speed?
110 is ok to do. The seating is perched and fully open to wind blast hence highway touring is not it's strength. It's good but not great.
@@bigbearbangalore Thank you for the clarity
In Bangalore hearing that service centers are very lacking and disappointing, and I'm having second thoughts on buying it now
Ok and they will get better soon.
I guess you have saved the negatives for your next video. I rode both the Speed and the scrambler and definitely the Scrambler makes sense in terms of Suspension, Foot peg position, posture with the handlebar, pick up and all other things you ve said.. however, would I BUY one..hmm may be not so soon.. after my ride yesterday on the scrambler my thighs were thoroughly cooked. The braking was also below par to my liking. The finish of the silencer wasn't great either..looked very aftermarket- Not sure if it's the same with all others, but the one I rode from Keerthi motors on JP Nagar, definitely had my thighs wanting to dip them in cold water. Also, did not find it that flickable ( in my opinion the RE Hunter has better flickability). Bike kept stalling at low speeds which is SO IRRITATING 🤔
In my opinion, I would tell myself to wait for Triumph to come up with a 2.0 version negating the niggles..
There's no next video planned for the negatives.
Thanks for sharing yours. 👍
I like the look & finishing of the Triumph Speed 400 more than the Scrambler 400x & the avaliable color option of Speed 400 as well, but at the same time the Speed 400 feels just little bit compact and the Scrambler seat height is too much high. (My preferably seat height is 805 to max 820 mm & My height is exactly 5 feet 75 inch) & My Traveling areas Consist Of 75% City/NH, 25% Village Road with potholes).
I have no problem in spending some extra bucks to get the modifications I want. How can I modified Triumph speed 400 to Scrambler 400x without compromising riding quality ? Or is it a waste of money and foolish to even think about doing so ?
I mean I am thinking about to replace Triumph Speed's only front travel suspension or may be both front & Rear (5.9 inches in the front & 5.5 inches or 5.9 inches in the rear), Steel handel bar (901 mm), front Sprocket (14 tooth) & front Wheels (19 Inches) with Scrambler 400x. What will you suggest in this case ?
Is such modification possible, if yes, will it affect the riding experience and handling posture or will it cause any other problems in long run ?
Almost any type of mod is possible. So you decide on it. Cheers!
Man, y'all love the motorcyle, great review! I notice that CK said he had issues with its highway performance, was wondering if you could elaborate on that?
Perched seating and exposed to wind blast.
Great video, Boss!
Can we have a 30,000 kms Xpulse Ownership experience?
Noted
Where can I get those rear view mirrors? They are banging!!!
RAM Tough Mirrors from @happyearthmounts
Saar, compared to your "Art of Unwinding" days, ee nadve light poli puns are missing. Bring them back. 😂
😃👍
Heartfelt review! Loved it!
Sir what about the tyres?
I would assume that tyres also provide a significant differentiation from the Speed.
Could you share your thoughts?
Yes they are different. Street tyres on the Speed and multi purpose on the X.
Is this a bike that can do 500-700km in a day on the highway without providing much discomfort?
Congratulations on the bike. Happy and safe motoring.
I really thought you would buy a harley x440. Any reason for choosing triumph??
Suspension and what I wish to do with it. My next motorcycle will likely be the X440.
Bosky, now you have Himalayan 452 and ScramX…. Just a quick question-
What did your better half said after sitting on both the motorcycles, that will be one of a core point to consider 😊
H450 is preferred.
@@bigbearbangalore Anytime preference from better half is Himalayan 450🌷👍
Always prepared at 1st preference is RE Classic 350
Hello I thinking to buy this bike ,why did you say it's a bad on road bike? Are the vibrations that bad at say 100-120 or can we cruise comfortabley?
How is the vibrations @100 120 or 140 can you please elaborate. Thank you
Buy it! It's a great machine. On open highways at speeds above 110 kmph, the wind blast gets quite strong. That's the design of the motorcycle and not a defect. While it is possible to use this on the highway, we find it a bit tiring on long open stretches.
@@bigbearbangalore how are the vibrations sir?
May i know what are the things close to accurate in the instrument cluster?
Like trip meters, low fuel indicator, fuel levels etc?
All are approximations. After some use you'll get to understand the correlation.
साहेब
I'm planning to go for old Himalayan 411 (not scram not 450) may be because of first sight love. Not using for adventure tour or Off road, will be using for regular use, for office. Some time I go for trekking, so it is helpful. What is ur suggestion? Ur thoughts pls 🙏
If you like it, buy it.
Should really make a comparison video of pros and cons with scrambler 400 and Himalayan 450.. pleaseeee
In the plans
Sir Hand gaurd price
Howdy bosky. took a test ride of scrambler today and I was convinced this is a good bike. However, by the time I ended my ride, I felt a lot of heat on my right calf muscle. Is that expected or the test ride bike was not upto mark? This would be a deal breaker for me as I am not used to riding this way. I was wearing jeans and shoes.
Heat is part of mid-size motorcycling.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you
Nice ride!! Do you think it is a good one for light touring? And did you had a pillion? How it is in duo? Thanx ✌️
Oh yes. Good for light touring. Haven't done much doubles but it should be good for a light pillion.
@@bigbearbangalore Thank you ✌️
How will the triumph be in its old age? 🤔 I mean mojo seemed promising when it launched (still is a masterpiece of a machine) but it has aged terribly! I am a one bike person and want to keep her forever! Please help me get out of this confusion shall I go with scrambler 400 or go safe with gurilla!!🙏🏻
I’d say it would age well and only time will tell.
Hello Bosky
Great content as always.
I’ve got a question for you which might be irrelevant for this video but your views really matter.
Apart from aspects like the value for money and service, would you consider buying Kawasaki Z650RS and still be able to feel close to what you’re feeling for 400X ?
Thanks.
For me one of the most important aspects when selecting a motorcycle is a long travel pliant suspension. And the Z is not that.
Good video, enjoyed it..
You being so technically sound, which I really admire, I would like to request you to make a video that explains how the torque and power is available in different bikes at different rpms..every bike specs let us know about 40ps @certain_rpm for example, but is it available from get go, or certain rpms or 20% of that nm and ps is available at 2000 rpms and then 40ps at certain_rpm etc.
All of these things matter a lot while choosing a bike, and many people only fall for the top numbers, not many reviewers talk about these power deliveries at different rpms because they themselves do not know, they are only beauty-queen-reviewers, hope this comment will get some consideration :), thank you, keep on making amazing videos with different flavours..!!
Many thanks. And noted and will check on this video. Thanks.
@bigbearbangalore Thank you so much sir..
