    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.

    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.

      @Desmo904 6 місяців тому +1

      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.

    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.

      @tangysquid 5 місяців тому +1

      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.
