Hi, there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this scrambler 400x. I am debating between buying a Scrambler 400X and the 900. Since you hace tested both scramblers I woulld like to ask for your opinion, which I will apprecate very much. I will use the the motorcycle manly on the city, as my daily commuter on heavy traffic conditions. Some weekends I will drive it on narrow, curvy, mountain roads and, in very few ocassions, I will take it to gravel, very broken, step country roads. I am 5.6” tall, just like you, but 59 years old. I am getting older, not toller. Thus the 400x seems a little taller for me, thats the only concern I have regarding thta bike compared to the 900 (835 vs 790 mm seat higth). However, there are some interesting advantages of the 400x over the 900. The 400x has taller ground clearance; it also has inverted forks and longer travel suspension; 6 gears instead of 5; tubeless tires; led lights, grill protection for the front light, hand guards, and a conveniently located USB port. The 400X also has a more informative dashboard. Finally, the 400X cost much less than the 900. Assuming money is not a factor (just assuming) and given all the above, what could be your suggestion: Should I get the 400X or the 900? I will appreciate your input very much.
Hi, there. Sorry for the delay in responding to your message. I bought the Scrambler 900. Most of my riding is urban, and I feel more confident on traffic being able to plant both my feet on the ground. The 900 is also very versatile for filtering in traffic, it feels light, but has a lot of torque on low and mid revolutions that I find quite suitable for urban riding. These advantages are even more sounding when you drive with a pillion. The Bonneville is also a time tested, reliable and trusted engine. There are also some other features that are more aesthetic and appealing to me, like the incredible rumble of the exhaust and the classic styling of the bike. No doubt the 400X is an excellent and beautiful machine; but for me, and the kind of riding I use this bike for, the 900 is a better option.
@@joaomunoz183 tomaste una excelente decisión. Disfruta de esa hermosa motocicleta, de esos 900 cc a bajas revoluciones, es una moto hermosa por donde se mire. Realmente la 400x no se puede comparar con la 900, no hay por dónde. Hiciste una excelente elección.
@6:40 You can adjust the preload on the rear shocks (3 settings?) which could help a little with ride height once seated. At the lowest setting you may be able to keep the balls of your feet on the pavement if that bike was set to the highest.
Great video overall! For daily commuting, between the 400X & the Interceptor, which one do you think is better set out of the factory? Stay strong, ride on!
Great review man! Yes, bike looks classic! Being 400cc, what is the max speed it can achieve? Does the handlebar vibrates above 100km/h? or does it vibrate at all? In your opinion, does the pillion seat comfortable for long distance riding?
After 40 yrs in the saddle with some serious back issues this is perfect and if it were more off-road capable I’m liable to get involved with things I shouldn’t so I’ll take the mag wheels
This Triumph 400X captured my eyes last night on a Motor show at the Central Square, BGC. I was passing by from the Circuit pero worth it na nagdaan ako at natiempuhan ko ang moto show. I will buy this soon. Royal Enfield Himalayas seems to be bulkier than Triumph Scrambler 400X ❤❤❤❤
Spoked wheels, high exhaust und height adjustable suspension... I do have a few complaints about it... but if they fix all these issues it is worth it... biggest competitors Royal Enfield Himalyan and KTM 390
I'd like them to use the same engine in a mini cruiser type bike, like the RE Meteor 350. Us old guys like comfort 😂. And heel and toe shifters should be more of a thing in every day bikes in places like Thailand where you wear light shoes. It's a major reason why i bought a Meteor tbh.
spoke wheels? WHY? more problems, and almost NOONE maintains their own tires anymore, if you want it, you a probably just looking at nostalgia. BTW, if you are inclined to do your own tire changes you know that it can be done easier with cast wheels....just my opinion.
The pillion comfort is horrible though. Dont know about the Speed. But my riding buddy bought the Scrambler and pillions were really feeling all the bumps. Rider comfort was brilliant though.
With the Road Conditions and Pot holes in the Philippines , the Triumph 400X would probably be an Idea Bike for a Foreigners First Motorcycle in the Provinces, I currently Ride the Kawasaki Dominar with Side and Top Boxes , Dominar Cost about 209,000 Pesos which is about 180,000 Pesos cheaper than the Triumph 400X.
A spoked rim can be easily repaired in case the rim gets damaged because a few spoke my bent and can be changed. An alloy rim will break and will need to replaced. This is why off road motorcycles use them as they are prompt to fall often. The issue with spoked rim is to get tubeless tires on them. Tubeless tires are much safer on the road as they deflate slowly. But those are expensive . Triumph should offer them as aftermarket accessories
@@Alsinsin The owner of the patent for spoked tubeless tyres charges a hefty royalty. In this category it would cost 25% of the bikes cost extra. For trail riding this is enough.
Should be able too yeah it depends on your leg lengh though if you have a 32 inch or 81.2 cm inseam you should be able to flat foot it just fine. I watched a women ride the 400x and she could flat foot it easily she said she was 175cm or 5' 9'' I think her inseam length was 32 inches long give or take.
@@carloscarvalho631My Svartpilen came with spoke rims, up and down quick shifter, fully adjustable suspension, ABS you can turn off and 33 inch seat height
Why doesnt this channel have more subs??
Well done man, thanks for yet another great review!
As a proud owner of scrambler400x i can say this bike is awesome on both highway and light off road trails…fun bike 🏍️
What the top speed of this bike
@@ahmaddarji8850 90 mph
Top speed clocked has been around 150kmph.
Nice review, I like your relaxed and easy delivery on the matter
I like many of your reviews. Thanks from Thailand.
Great review! Love your English without a strong accent.
When is the release date in the Philippines? So excited for this bike. Great vid as always 👍
Nice review i looking to buy this Bike it help a lot 🎉

The forks can be raised 10mm and rear speing can be adjusted to match

should be ok with me. I'm 5'6" as well but my inseam is 32 inches. His inseam is 30inches. I'm keen on considering this bike.
32" ? seems unlikely at 5'6"
i wonder if the wheels of that in RE scram 411 would fit in this MC.
Great roads around Silverlake aren't they? Lovely twisties.
thanks for your review. i'm saving to get one. :D

Direct Competitor is Husqvarna Svartpilen 401. Both in specs and price
Try to find one...
Which one would you prefer the Triumph scrambler 400X or the Husqvarna Svartapilen 401?
The 2022/2023 Husky Svart is really nice
Honda Cl500
Rally raid had launched their suspension setup which can be lowered ... please check that out
Cool review. I dont know, but these bikes remind me of the xsr155 😅
do you have a video on the honda CL500?
Present Sir Jinno 🙋
Great reviews.
If you ever smacked a crossbar without the foam thingy you’ll appreciate the foam thingy a lot more
Sounds like most singles out there - boy that hurts 😂
Happy valentines Motodeal ❤
😂
whats the price in the pi
I agree, spoke wheels would look amazing, maybe should be an option?
During my test what i noticed is that if you have a pillion. You are pretty much flat footing the road. I am 5'7
Learn how to preload adjust.

I heard the Speedmaster 400 will be released soon with the RR 400

They are wise and honest words. Well said Sir.
Speak for yourself, we always maintain our wheels tf u talking about.
What's wrong with spoke wheels? Are they flimsy and easily damaged compared to cast wheels?
Scrambler or Speed for long rides with back rider?
Scrambler. Suspension is tuned for more weight at the back.
The pillion comfort is horrible though. Dont know about the Speed. But my riding buddy bought the Scrambler and pillions were really feeling all the bumps. Rider comfort was brilliant though.
Scrambler 400 x
I like motorbikes.👌🏽
rhe caballero 500 can be a competitor
Is the tramp Scrambler 400x geared differently from the triumph speed 400?
Yes that's what makes it feel different
Front sprocket has 1 less teeth in scrambler
yes sir!!!!!
Thumbnail has display turned at angle. Have they really installed all the new review machines with that fault?

Whats your height in cm? Did you mean 5.6 ft or 5ft 6 inches?
@@pillow7047 it's not the same thing. About an inch and half of difference between 5.6ft and 5ft6inches
I think he is 168 cm (5'6 in the American measure.
@@aloisiolemosviagenscomroyal shrimp
I think you can lower this bike by around half an inch when you changed the wheels from 100/90 to 110/80 on front and 140/80 to 150/70 on rear
So what is the actual function of spokes?
A spoked rim can be easily repaired in case the rim gets damaged because a few spoke my bent and can be changed. An alloy rim will break and will need to replaced. This is why off road motorcycles use them as they are prompt to fall often. The issue with spoked rim is to get tubeless tires on them.

@@Alsinsin Thanks for the reply, brother. Appreciate the education I got here.
@@Alsinsin Thank you for this, sir. Now, I know. I thought it was just for aesthetics or nit-picking preference of a rider,
can 5'9-5'10 be able to flat foot on this bike?
Should be able too yeah it depends on your leg lengh though if you have a 32 inch or 81.2 cm inseam you should be able to flat foot it just fine. I watched a women ride the 400x and she could flat foot it easily she said she was 175cm or 5' 9'' I think her inseam length was 32 inches long give or take.
Yes you can easily
I'd buy this if these bikes comes with twin cylinders
Imagine triumph scrambler 400x in chrome tank.
Hey,
Thank you for the vid. As for other comparisons there are also the Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 & Svartpilen 401
I always thought these were tvs ronins at first glance
Competitor: Honda cl 500?
Fkm x400.nmm pls
best one is royal enfield himalayan the new one...
If you need to lower it, get the Speed.
What's up with the camera. The shots look all "jiggly"
First , nice review
7:05 ...why did this hit different..🥲
not a review of any kind just a lot of general descriptions with no technical explanations. "It's really smooth, pretty good, I like it" etc.
*and too long!*
13:39 wtf was that
I need to lower it. Please if you find it. Make a proper video.
It would be a shock linkage thingy .
I thinks the Husqavarna 401 is Better Deal
Even with the tube wheels? I think they’re close but the bigger front tire and tubeless tires makes me think the 400x is a better choice
@@carloscarvalho631My Svartpilen came with spoke rims, up and down quick shifter, fully adjustable suspension, ABS you can turn off and 33 inch seat height
why would a beginner be shorter than u? Strange thing to assume
Hey, slowpoke. What he's saying is flat-footing is more important for beginners. Strange thing to assume.
@@ferdiebeer I guess that wasn’t clear for everyone :)
GLAD IS DID NOT HAVE SPOKE WHEELS; AS I'D NEVER GET ONE .. PERFECT SIZZE AND HEIGHT. IF THE NEXT VERSION WAS A 6OO OR 700; IT WOULD BE PERFECT.
More of comparison with speed 400 than reviewing the scrambler 400x itself. Failed.
He did mention 1st impression. Correct? So I am not seeing a concern. Still a good from my perspective.
What’s great about UA-cam is that you don’t have to watch stuff you don’t like.
He did a great job, as usual.
