😂holy cow shit
Rode this bike to the highest road in the world, with days of headache, delays and stress... despite all that still did a daily ride 🤯. Bravo Zack! Bravo! 👏🙌👏🙌
I was equally surprised when I saw this video pop up on my feed.
It's a hard life..
Indeed
Thanks for braving Dehli to get us a daily ride! That's dedication to your audience!
Silly question, but if you rode it in the Himalayas why didn’t you film that rather than a commute across Delhi ?
this guy is gold, his positive attitude for someone riding for the first time in India. we should all witness and learn from him and ari
Don't forget Spurgeon. He made the trek with Zack this time.
yeah man spurg is a gem too@@Ntmoffi
Nice roads, India not Poor?
I love how you stopped over the zebra crossing like a true Indian, while you were waiting for that signal 😂 Love your content Zack!! ❤️
he stops like that in US as well lol, he stops moderately past the line on all traffic stops 😂
This video really shows India is not for beginners - saying as an Indian. Zack did well through the traffic. Having said that, I was struggling to follow organized driving now that I am in the US with all the bad habits picked up driving in India. Driving in India is a race to the destination but in first world countries its a journey.
I was stunned at the lack of lane discipline by cars: shared lanes, riding lines, unexpected lane switches and drifts. I recently taught my kid to drive and was very strict on lane discipline... Seems important to me at least
I feel like it's a mix. The speeds you go are a lot lower but you have a lot more freedom. And you don't have to remember a lot of rules but follow what makes sense. It's closer to how people act while walking in a urban area which seems somewhat natural
I'm from Nepal, and its the same here. I am planning to go abroad soon and I'm horrified about driving in the US. Getting used to being disciplined will definitely be difficult.
I've just came back from Thailand and it's pretty much the same. What I don't understand is that Thai are mostly Buddhist, which is all about meditation, peace of mind, etc. And yet on the road it's a racetrack for them. I get that you're in a hurry if you're traveling to the other side of the country. But average journey for an average Thai on an average day is probably about 10 min long. So why hurry? And why not leave some space if your overtaking? So much for the peace of mind and meditating..
You haven't driven in Atlanta, GA then. Speed limits are barely even suggestions here
ProTip for using Gmaps on Indian roads, never select the Motorcycle route option else it'll take you through mad non-existent roads or cycle trails as you experienced on this daily ride.
Always use the Car route option, for future reference. Awesome video as always, keep it up 🤘
Unless it takes you to an expressway where bikes are not allowed.
@@madotra27very rare in India tho
sounds to me like the cycle or motorbike route is the best bet then 🙂
Did that and ended up at the expressway and got stopped by other kind motorist. Eventually a police reminded me to use Motorcycle in gmap. Can't use my foreigner card all the time so it is good to be mindful. Yes, I did ended up in some slums while riding in Mumbai but that is part of the experience.
@@yuunjac Yeah that tends to happen at times, though most of the highways or expressways where two wheelers aren't allowed are marked with the sign for it.
If its the experience you're after then no holds barred on where you ride I suppose. Cheers
Please award yourself a purple heart for taking that off road shortcut. Also don't berate yourself too much for taking unplanned u-turns on the highway, Google has a problem here with lane suggestions. But, good to see that you were here. And taking a tiny bit of the route that I usually take for work.
I love how the dirt road shortcut was on google maps.
I experienced this while making deliveries for UPS ( using my 4WD ‘86 Terecel wagon(!))…’roads’ that were definitely off-road, but got me to the house I was looking for ! I mean like serious off-road, deep sand, narrow trails.
This was awesome and surreal to see Zack riding around in India!
Lover’s lane Delhi 😂😂😂
Your optimism is contagious Zack! Loved after only a few weeks in Delhi you drive like a local (compliment)! Cheers mate!
I love the way single cylinder bikes just sound happy to be there. What a fun bike
The modernisation of India is stunning! Especially the roads. I was there 20yrs ago and getting to Manali was "interesting" to say the least. It was a single lane road cut into the side of a cliff. Three point turns around bends with no guard rail. If a truck came the other way, there was a back and forward process to inch past each other. I never considered riding a bike there. I would now.
Yep. One of the many reasons we voted for Modi. infrastructure development

Zack, Delhi Rider, was the best ever. Like a true pro, you kept the show on the round, and the chat on the money, despite the utter chaos all around you. Proud of you man! 👏👏🙌
All motorcycle manufacturers should invest in this kind of advertisements instead of cheesy commercials.
Does anyone else appreciate how Google maps still worked through all of that off-road section? 😂
Tbf that was literally a road.
No he was going through a field @@Geshmaal
In India Google maps is wildly popular, even my uncle who is a farmer uses it on rural roads (stretch to call many roads but farm paths). Indian streets are very confusingly arranged so most Indians have used and just fed Google's algorithm 🤣
Big fan of Zack and Ari. I have been following them since their Motorcyclist Magazine times. I live in Bangladesh, small neighbouring country of India. Road traffic conditions are almost similar in Bangladesh and India. I am laughing ang giggling seeing Zack riding in these conditions.
Missed Ari in privious episode of worlds highest road. Zack and Ari are perfect duo for these kind of riding (no offense to Spurg).
The traffic and by-standards are so wild to me as someone in the USA. I saw zero anger. Where i am from this would result in gunshots.
😅
you dont know delhi
Was thinking the same thing. It just works. No one gets mad. Here if I split a lane people try to hit me or cuss me out.
😂
Democrat run cities are dangerous places. Move to someplace democrats dont control
I'm glad you aced Indian roads like a pro, and made it back home in one piece.
It’ll be exciting to see a shootout in this ever Expanding 400-500cc adventure/scrambler class of motorcycles. The new Triumph 400X, CFmoto 450mt, Royal Enfield 450 Himalayan, Honda CB500X, going head to head to see which one reigns supreme! Good review.
Kudos to Zack, for reviewing the bike...in India...while riding...and still being courteous enough to use his indicator signals.
This seems like a really good bike for the price. I love how the small bike market has grown and started getting competitive
Never thought i'd be watching a daily rider episode from India. Way to go!!!
Brilliant episode! Attention completely split between learning about the bike and watching the traffic shenanigans. Fully appreciate you fitting in the off-road challenge! And kudos on the title card. Nice touch. Great work all around and a welcome follow up to that spectacular CTXP episode.
I lived in Cambodia and rode in Vietnam a fair bit, and Delhi was MUCH more civilised than I was expecting. Looks pretty chilled in all honesty.
Delhi is chilled by Indian standards. Come to Mumbai or Pune and it's a lot lot worse. Much worse roads too. I live in Mumbai and even as a local I dred riding in heavy traffic on my Kawasaki. Thankfully plenty of beautiful locations around Mumbai to make up for the horrible traffic.
I am always impressed seeing how motorcycles are so ingrained in the culture and an essential part of the transportation system in countries like India. Great episode and looking forward to seeing the Triumph 400s in the USA.
(400X, NOT 400s)
@@tpv59 - Plural as in both of them🙂
@@paulvanhout9695
Ahhhhhh, GOOD1 !!!
(You got me!)
😃
Epic Dehli Ride!!! We learned Minivan > Triumph 🙂
Easy the best 400cc out there. Pretty well-made and looks grown up in person, like you mention. In my opinion, enough power and bike for a scrambler in urban environment. Good job Triumph and India. Comes with 4 years unlimited km/miles warranty too (at least in germany).
You guys get 4 years… I am looking to buy my first motorcycle here in the United States, and the website claims two years. So you’re saying I should move to Germany lol.
We get 5 years in India , for 1st 10000 customers as well😅
@@kwakithailand single cylinders are prone to vibration especially at higher rpms. There is nothing wrong with these bikes.
A lot of people buy Enfields who are prone to tank slappers in the 650s , even a Honda 300r vibrates the 250r even worse at speeds over 130kph , but nobody bases their buying decision based off comments,they test drive and see .
@@kwakithailand It has less vibrations than a KTM. Have you even taken a test ride? Even the new Duke 390 vibrates more than the Speed
Holy cow, I wish that many people rode bikes and scooters here in the States. Great work Zack and team!
Great review - the bike looks awesome and India looks very special. Driving through India made this review a winner bar none!
Really loved Zack's positive outlook towards the Indian traffic and he really understood the reason behind all the chaos, even me being an indian I am not that positive towards our traffic 😆
a great episode - a great delhi ride!
Wow, great timing! My dealer was revealing this today. Looked great and was a good seating position!
I always wondered what riding in Delhi might be like and now I know. But , can we have Zack daily commute in - London, Paris, Milan , Tokyo, Berlin, Barcelona?
What an immersive experience. Thanks for bringing us along.
The most exciting part of this video is Zack’s comments on the traffic. Loved the video! Perhaps the beginning of a new series?
Props to the guys for riding the bikes back again .. many shows the stars would have helicoptered back
Would you say that generally the roads of India could be described as "chaos" ? Don't worry, you're not freaking anyone out; they've seen it all, every day. Ride safe. Great video.
I personally describe it as "organized chaos". It doesn't work for most of us from The West but it works for locals. It's a mystery like bird murmuration. I experienced it in Kolkata. I don't think I can hack inside-the-city-traffic as a driver (I barely survived being stuck in traffic as an auto passenger for a few weeks). My experience was way more dense and intense than what Zack has shown in the videos.
I am Indian an I have ridden in India and EU/US. Riding in India is chaotic anbd lawless sometimes but it works. I was struggling to follow the rules when I started driving/riding in first world countries. Blind spot checking (i checked mirrors not the headturn), keeping speed limit (i mostly never followed to keep with the flow of traffic), distance between vehicles and lane speed limits were so alien. Also keep in mind, Zack was out early morning. During midday peak traffic is 2x chaotic.
Congratulations on a truly brilliant episode!! Had an absolute BLAST watching this. Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
One got to appreciate how smoothly Zack was rolling with the traffic.. Not sure I would have the guts for that! Well pretty sure I wouldn't have! And the route selected by GPS app was epic :D Half of the time I was a bit distracted waiting this vibrating iPhone to fly off!
I guess this is a Delhi Rider episode
ZACK!! What a legend, yet another stunning "Daily Rider" review in MY country! Long time fan of the show and long time fan of you and Ari! India is growing and we appeciate the recognition! :)
He doesn't mention the Himalian (either411 or 452) I wonder if that was at Triumph's request? I love this series and this is just an "I noticed"
Ahh! Riding in India... All you need is good brakes, a good horn, and good luck!
I'm a big Royal Enfield fan, but I think that if the price of this in my country is around the equivalent of what you quoted in USD, this seems like a significantly better value, performance and styling option than the RE Scram. Not sure how they compare in the rougher terrain given the scram is based on an actual adventure bike, but I think I'd have to abandon my loyalty to RE and go the little Triumph if I was in the market for a light breathing scrambler.
Love the effort you guys took to bring us this daily ride. Seems like a fun bike for those looking in the class
By far my favorite Daily Rider episode thus far. Zack is in his element, with just enough challenge from the Dehli traffic, yet also delightfully surprised at the difference in traffic courtesy in India.
I think an Indian rider has a higher chance of crashing while riding through the empty roads Of California or Texas than manouvering their bike in the streets of delhi
The leaderboard didn't take into account how any of those that are now above the Scrambler 400 X would have made it to the highest road in the world
If I had to take a guess, I would say the VStrom, Bonneville and CB500x would be able to make it. Maybe the Z650 and SV650?
@@MrSpeed-lt8gr I guess you are right on the CB500X but the rest might be too heavy to handle in some of that dirt?
@@LostYogi I think you're right. I just assumed the Bonneville would make it since the 2 400cc Triumphs would make it. But the Bonnie is 100 pounds heavier.
This video is fantastic! Thanks Zack!
Much more entertaining than usual. Thank you, Zach!
I like the design of the heat shield over the cat. It's super obvious what's going on if you expect it. But a casual observer wouldn't have a clue. And it looks at home in the style of the bike.
Bravo for taking a ride in the streets of delhi!! Salute from an Indian for that courage!!❤❤❤
This is why I love riding bikes in Asia. It is chaotic, yet everybody understands everybody. Honking the horn is just another form of communication, and it works really well. In all honesty, I feel safer, riding a bike in the busy streets of Vietnam, then I do in New York City.
I could not agree more. I feel that any skilled rider who has ridden a motorcycle anywhere outside the United States, would agree with you. In the USA, hats off to CA and UT for allowing lane filtering and the use of a motorcycle as it was designed to be used. I have ridden most of the USA and live in FL. it is SO frustrating to ride in cities around here, infuriating really. All the criminals who control insurance companies are the ones keeping legislation from passing, allowing the proper use of a motorcycle to be passed nationwide. I have written to many a politician, never a response. ABATE has been advocating for this for decades and it just doesn't go anywhere. So much for Ron DeSantis being a "freedom" guy.
I just got here from UT and you people are psychos on the road lol bikes need to be safer here.
South Asia is very different to South East Asia. I have ridden both. South Asia (india) is far worse.
Loved the ride, brought back a lot of good memories of commuting in Indonesia.
always looking forward to the daily rider reviews, thanks for this one, deciding between this and the new RE Himalayan, wish you can ride it as well, since you’re in India at the moment
Triumph wouldn't let them touch a Himalayan and make a video about it. I think the whole reason they were given these bikes is to show that they can perform in tougher conditions like the Himalayan.
Interesting episode. I like the look of that little Triumph. As a happy Royal Enfield owner, it was pretty cool that Zack pointed out the number of old Royal Enfield singles he saw while in New Delhi.
I thoroughly enjoyed that and I am not even a motorcyclist! The traffic behaviour is indeed chaotic, with pedestrians and cows on the roads, vehicles overtaking on the inside, and ignoring red lights. Somehow, I found it liberating. I surprise myself because I am usually a stickler for rules.
The video was a fascinating revelation of the people and roads of Delhi.
Once again, thanks for a truly outstanding video!
Looks sharp! You are brave not only on a long high altitude, long distance ride. But driving in India.
One of the coolest videos I’ve seen about a motorcycle review. Great job 👏🏽
I am impressed with the bike and more importantly Zach’s riding skills! Love that India has so many motorcycles and scooters. Here in the US where I live, cage drivers are use to motorcycles because they are so few.
Man, this makes me miss driving/riding in Asia. The initial "chaos" quickly becomes comfortable and even preferable, as there is a high degree of communication between individual operators, and little aggression or ego.
this might be your best "daily ride" video yet! 👍
If you are still in India, Zack, please also take a spin on a few more bikes - CB350 for sure, but also a few from Bajaj and Hero maybe. They are so very different from what we are used to in the US, but quite nice for what they are meant to do here in India. You won't be disappointed, and might even have a bit of fun.
Iv got one on order. Thanks Zack for the review and the ctxp video!
I just saw a new Scrambler 400X at a local dealer shop. It’s a great looking bike both on video and in person. If I were in the market for such a machine the 400X would be at the top of my list!
Its fantastic to see Zack doing daily commute in India, would love to see him often riding on Indian roads.. :)
this is my absolute favorite daily rider of all time. Love the on location and understand why it cant be an everytime food, but sometimes a change of scenery really does you right. Cheers
Hi Zack. I often watch your videos as well as Ari's not so much because I'm interested in the bike you are testing, but because you two have excellent on-screen personalities. I find it interesting that watching this video in a different part of the world is more comforting than having 'known' you before. All weird but true. Enjoy your time over there.
Zack catching a Delhi critter at 23:28. Riding through India is definitely an eye opening adventure. Just a week after I got my motorcycle licence, my friends and I flew to India, then rode classic Royal Enfield’s from Delhi to Jaisalmer through most of the state of Rajasthan. Kudos to Zack, Spurgeon and the crew on taking us on an epic adventure through foreign lands.
What is a delhi critter? I can't see anything at that timestamp
@@seanylewlI will second you here. I looked at the time stamp, rewinding and framing it, still, could not see any critter. Maybe a colloquial term?
20:40 Zach going through some serious mud.. and immediately realising that a Suzuki mini van, a small motorcycle and a tractor are casually taking that track on their daily ride makes him look soft!
Ohh boy this was an experience. Zack can check off road in India from his list. Great video
WHAT A GREAT EPISODE OF DAILY RIDERS!
fun ride on a fun little bike! Something that would be interesting if there's an end of the year assessment video on the cards is to rate placement on the leader board by cost and by displacement. It's hard for a budget bike to compete but it seems that there's a whole lot of willingness out of this little platform and happens to look great while doing what ever you need from it.
Crazy that you rode back, much respect
Cooling fans hits often because of the harshness of the heat here in India. The weather is pretty harsh and in Delhi, it starts heating up from as early as 8am in summer and rainy season.
Heartiest welcome to India Zac ❤😂😂😂 that's Delhi traffic for you everyone is self organized they won't wait for the red light to turn green 😅😅
Oh wow!!! Seeing Zach on Gurgaon highways and inner roads is amazing. I dunno if it was intentional that the google maps route was "through" village roads and thereby offering a bit of off-roading but I guess it worked out well to showcase the offroading capabilities of the Scrambler.
I sat on one today at the Motorcycle Show NEC, it feels like a 'full size' bike, and the quality of fit and finish looked very good. It was drawing considerable interest.
You have bells of steel, Sir, that traffic is terrifying....
With all due respect, its NOTHING.
Very impressive how atease you seemed during the ride! Mad respect Zack!
That was an excellent review. Everything I need to know in one very enjoyable video. Thank you. 🙏
Thank you so much for this review, as a non native English-speaker I can really understand every world that you are saying, clear and loud voice, I appreciate your calm to explain all details. 🎉just keep going.
This makes me miss my time in India…I never wanted to go there, but a photography job happened and man…I can’t wait to go back. It was fantastic. Great riding, you did a very good job.
What a wonderful episode, a glimpse into delhi life and ride in some other place. Great stuff!
Great ride on a great bike. Also enjoyed your journey up the highest road. A good test for the two Triumph 400's. Cheers.
Brilliant episode ! Thanks so much
Wow! I'm from Delhi and I could figure out how long you had to travel to get back on that highway again. Damn! Gurugram roads are as chaotic as the traffic.
Impressed how you came to terms with and negotiated your way through Delhi traffic.
One of the best zack’s videos. Love the vibe❤
That was some delightful chaos!
Please review a Royal Enfield Hunter 350. The reviews on TH-cam are never that comprehensive as a Daily Rider review and I would like to know definitively if the bike makes a good commuter. Great video as always, your video last week of your trip through India was an awesome watch.
Best daily rider ever. Great commentary
I’ve been around Europe but never India. After seeing you around that place it seems like a place to visit. And I thought driving around the arc d’ triumph in Paris was a challenge.
Привет с Ташкента. Лови лайкос. Удачи на дорогах. Хороших покотушек.
Я надеюсь, что в твоем будущем будет мотоцикл
Probably one of the best reviews I've seen. You've done everything that an indian has to do to reach there destination.
Riding in Delhi looks great fun, a bit of scrambling enroute and realxed attitude, fantastic. 400X looks ideal.
Excellent idea to do a Daily Rider from such an epic trip!
Dude you guys are the best.
I have put deposit on one of these in Thailand (where they are made for the Thai and other markets) this will be my first motorcycle. So excited thanks for this!
As you are in India, Do not forget to check X440, and India-specific bikes are only available in India.
Wonderful stuff. Mad roads, mad traffic, mad drivers, mad pedestrians, mad insects, but great review. Zack the consummate pro.
