Triumph Scrambler to Spiti, right choice? Owner’s review!

- Reviewing my newly bought triumph scrambler 400x after the recent Spiti ride, sharing my first impressions on how good this bike is on tough terrains. Did 1800 kms from Delhi to Manali to Kaza to Shimla and back and you’ll notice I’ve used it as how a scrambler should be used.
This review was an afterthought when me and my co rider pondered over how many scramblers might have been abused so far as much as mine did over the non existent roads (and the existent river crossings) of the mighty Spiti.
This bike or not, go visit Spiti!
If you have questions, thoughts or feedback, put it in the comments and we’ll connect.

Great to the point review. Looking forward to the next one rider

Hey! Thanks for the info!
About the vibration: As an owner myself, there's noticeable vibes at 90kmph in the footpegs but they surprisingly disappear after 100 and below 85.
Also, I'd request you to get the first service done and share your insights once again. I'm due on 2nd July for the first service.
Cheers!
Hey! Rider to rider - welcome and thanks for watching the video.
I did my first service in advance @600kms before I left for Spiti. The service experience was nothing extraordinarily good or bad, which is a good thing. With the 10W50 oil they filled, service costed me Rs2200 here in Gurgaon (incl chain lube).
After coming back from Spiti, I went to the service center again, to get the front brake pads swapped, and the experience was good this time, on time delivery and they had let me stand next to bike and engaged a good conversation.
Happy riding!
@@harshit_chugh oh good to know that. ❤️

Made more tour videos
Hey,
Great review! This particular bike has been on my mind for a few weeks now, but I'm still skeptical about its performance in the mountains. Could you provide more information on its average performance, how it handles mountain terrain, and its capacity for carrying luggage?
Thanks!
Hey! You must have heard of the good low end torque on this bike numerous times now - let me confirm its a blessing unmatched when you are in the mountains. I had zero complains at the mountains, you can just pull and pull with luggage. You will also find you need lesser gear changes than any usual bike. And this is true for both off and on road terrains. Except the radiator thing (I'll talk about this in my next video, coming soon), I didn't find any other issues when in mountains.
@@harshit_chugh That's great brother !! I hope to get my hands on this super soon !! And thank you for your reviews !! Cheers !! Keep riding
What is your height without riding shoes??& What tank range you got in hilly regions?
I'm 5'7 without shoes. The bike feels light in almost all situations, the only time I had a problem was once when the bike stalled while I was taking a U turn.
I got a range of approx 300kms, but the fuel guage is unreliable, so range anxiety used to kick in around 250kms mark.
Bro if you are reading this .. please answer this question this for me ! I really loved this bike.. my ht is 5.7 almost 170 cm,should i go with this? Will it be a deal breaker for me 🥹! Please help
Hey, I'm also 5'7 but I mostly wear boots when riding this bike. I have set the preload of the rear shock to it's lowest. With these two helps, I've faced an issue never but once when the bike stalled in the middle of a U-turn and I had my wife riding with me (usually I ride alone).
So here's the suggestion; If you can afford to ride the bike with boots and without a pillion for maybe a few months, you'll understand the bike enough to manage the seat height. If you still do not, get a few millimeters shaven off from the seat foam (but my guess is you'll not need that).
Personally, I was quite scared of the seat height initially because I've never ridden a tall bike before this. I got some confidence when the triumph dealer took me to an empty playground to test the bike off road, and I decided to purchase the bike. Now after a couple of thousand kms, I feel seat height was more of a mental block than physical, I try and find reasons to 'scramble' with the bike, and get into situations where I know my feet will not touch ground without hip tilt, but I'm not scared, this bike kind of does that to you.
Also, the bike is light footed when standing still / when you are pushing it at fuel pump queues, not like the Himalayan 452.
Phew, long answer. Note whatever I said applies to 90% of situations and I'm sure I'll come across a scenario where I'll wish to be riding a bike with lower seat height, but I'm also sure rest of the fun times will make up for it.
@@harshit_chugh thanks brother that really helps alot. Truth be told lot of people told me that its not suitable for you .. its your first time as a bike rider .. that really put me in an emotional low ball .. i have take two test rides of small duration and find it doable only. But people were like its too high you will break your ankle 🥹 or go for speed .
Your answer really helped me and will help anyone who comes through this comment section.
Wishing you for your channel growth.. and you earned a follower today🔥🔥🔥
If fate meet will catch on a road trip very soon
Riding gears details, please ?
Sure, here you go;
Boots: Lone Ranger
Denims: Solace
Gloves: Solace
Helmet: SMK
Jacket: my newest acquisition, It is from RS Taichi, Drymaster Kompass, got it from Vietnam through a friend.
Can answer specifics right now if you have any questions, will create a detailed video later around how I made so many mistakes around buying the gear and luggage not suited to my case (and taste).
@@harshit_chugh Thanks buddy for the details yes u can make specific video on this topic love to watch
Hi bro whats the mileage you're getting in this bike, how to ride it to get a good decent mileage. I'm planning to buy one. Please reply
Hi, unfortunately I've not done the mileage test yet and since I was getting to know the bike I've not been riding with a uniform throttle input either.
With this, the onboard computer showed me 31kmpl on my last long ride, which did include a lot of offroad.
Hope this helps!
@@harshit_chugh hey thanks for the info, I appreciate your genuine answer.
