Looks good, sounds good, and feels good - it´s fun to ride, and you see happy faces along the road as well. Enjoying my Scrambler 400x all the time, it´s been 4 months and 4000 km until now, and that´s just the beginning 🙂
I have my 310gs that am very happy with but debating if I should upgrade to this. Love the look but I don’t think it’s as comfortable. The dealer is a bit of a drive to get to so I haven’t checked it out. Great looking bike though. Nice video.
The bike is good no questions I have one the cost of living is quite reasonable, no wind protection like gs, power is amazing response is amazing and can run smoothly on lower rpms, can drive in 1st and 2nd gear without throttle, which is amazing for city. And I did a 750km ride on it felt comfortable and smooth when sitting between 80 and 110kmph.
I think only the TFC versions of bikes are actually built in Hinkley now. (I could be wrong, but that's what i heard anyway) Build quality is still good though and that's a credit to Triumph that they have this ethos wherever they are built.
Looked at one in my local Triumph dealers yesterday, absolutely nothing wrong with the fit and finish on these bikes, infact exceptionally good given the price point.
Hate to disappoint you but very little assembly is done in Hinckley, England these days, most Triumphs being Thai built. So any build quality comparison is Thailand 🇹🇭 vs India 🇮🇳
i miss a T400 with twin shocks and spoked wheels. but 400 ccm is not my class, i would prefer a 650 ccm Single from Triumph, Speed 650, T650, Scrambler 650.
Test road this bike and also the Speed 400. I like the Speed better. the scrambler is maybe nicer looking. but it's taller with bigger wheels. so it doesn't handle as good on the street. it doesn't turn in as fast and the engine seems a little less fun. I think it's geared a little different. it has slightly less top speed. personally if I was buying one I would buy the Speed 400. and if I was planing on riding on allot of dirt roads I would rather have an enduro style bike.
@@nandadityaswami7452 just having lower gearing doesn't mean it has better low end. because with my experience riding both bikes back to back the scrambler just felt less alive to me even in the low end. Maybe because the scrambler is 9kg or 20 pounds heavier.
@@photographerjonathan the lower end what I felt was better maybe my experience. It pulls good even at 2k rpm up until 5th gear Speed definitely has the weight advantage, and both bikes hate city rides getting crazy hot.
That was a software issue , which was resolved by Triumph on first service . After that I never faced that issue . It was getting stall at 2nd gear . This is the super best bike buddy.
Tubeless so you can fix flats with a plug kit and reduce unsprung weight by eliminating the tube. Spoked mostly because they look awesome but you can also lose a spoke or two out of your wheel and limp back home and rebuild but with cast wheels, if you lose a “spoke” your wheel is shot.
Unless they are getting paid LESS than other local jobs pay, it isn't exploitation. They get paid the local market rate or better. This is also how "sweat shops" work. They are jobs in poor countries, where the jobs pay at least the local wage rate for labor. You want people to have these jobs. These are opportunities and steady work to enrich them and their local economies. These people are not put in worse conditions by these businesses. They are born in worse conditions and are given opportunities by these companies for better conditions

Your dirt roads are better condition than the sealed roads we have in New Zealand.

Feels good for a tall rider too.
"Feels Good Man"
@@leeinwis you got it
These are great looking bikes ... Triumph/Bjaj did a fine job. Speaking of proper locations, either of the 400s would be nice for New York City. 😃

Honda CL500
I wouldn't call it an upgrade in terms of power, but if you like the look of the bike and how it feels on the road, go for it.
The bike is good no questions

Most if not all (atm) Triumph production is not in the UK, so there is no build quality comparison that can be made from that perspective.

Nice little bike.
Mi like bike
Getting mine in 2 days.
N8ce bike for tha canal road near Brits . When are we going!?
Your roads are better than roads in England

It is about design the bigger bikes are designed in Britain while these small ones are designed in India.
afaik all are designed in the UK.
Made in India that's why they are cheap
@@stephengrainger7586 made in India at a plant that makes ktm and Husqvarna 390s and 250s a major reason to be cheap.

Sure those are dirt roads but I would have thought this bike would cope fine on worse roads. Do you get the 450 Royal Enfield Himalayan in SA ?
Himalayan is amazing but focused on off-road test rode one amazing bike but suitable for a two bike garage

Scrambler has better low end and worse top end
But can be changed by changing the front sprocket

Why do I like this?
cause scrambly fun
That side shot !! Looks like a Honda Monkey bike. !! Think you need the bigger one mate
Scrambler 400 has engine Stalling issue at lower RPM at 1/2 gears , is it Right❓
My one hasn’t stalled yet.
That was a software issue , which was resolved by Triumph on first service . After that I never faced that issue . It was getting stall at 2nd gear . This is the super best bike buddy.
is a bike with such a tiny engine legal for highway use?
You only need a 175 or 200 in the USA , depending on state.
@@leeinwis just teasing why anyone would ride such a small cc bike. That isn't a full on dirt bike😆
@@edwardcampbell3420 I love my 250 rally , I ride it more than the 650 chopper I have
As British as an Uber driver.
Bike looks tiny under you.
your dirt roads over there are incredibly better..
Should have spoked wheels 🤦♂️
Then you miss on tubeless tyres.
Rally Raid Productions is working on tubeless spoked wheels for the scrambler 400 X.
Why?
Tubeless so you can fix flats with a plug kit and reduce unsprung weight by eliminating the tube. Spoked mostly because they look awesome but you can also lose a spoke or two out of your wheel and limp back home and rebuild but with cast wheels, if you lose a “spoke” your wheel is shot.
Cast wheels are cheaper and easier to keep clean.
Way too small for you bud. Look on it like you riding on a dog 😂
at what point do consumers look towards the exploitation of a cheap workforce ?
Unless they are getting paid LESS than other local jobs pay, it isn't exploitation. They get paid the local market rate or better. This is also how "sweat shops" work. They are jobs in poor countries, where the jobs pay at least the local wage rate for labor.
You want people to have these jobs. These are opportunities and steady work to enrich them and their local economies.
