Triumph Scrambler 400 X to Launch in India in October, Here's What We Know So Far

Triumph Motorcycles, in June 2023, took off the wraps on their brand-new Speed 400 and the Scrambler 400 X, and now the British motorcycle manufacturer is all set to launch the Scrambler 400 X in October in the Indian market, probably in the middle of the month. After the Speed 400, the Scrambler 400 X will be the next product born out of a collaboration between Bajaj and Triumph and will be manufactured in India at Bajaj Auto's Chakan-2 facility in Maharashtra. Speaking of the Triumph Speed 400, it is considered the brand's most affordable motorcycle currently on sale in the domestic market. Powering the Speed 400 is a 398cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that cranks out 39.5bhp at 8,000rpm and 37.5Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm. The same motor will find its way into the Scrambler 400 X and will be mated to a 6-speed gearbox, accompanied by a slip and assist clutch.

Triumph Scrambler 400 X: Hardware

Like the Speed 400, the Scrambler 400 X features a hybrid spine, perimeter, and tubular steel frame with a bolt-on rear sub-frame. This setup is suspended with the help of 43mm upside-down forks at the front and a monoshock with preload adjustment at the rear, both offering 150mm of wheel travel. The Scrambler 400X has a larger 19-inch front alloy wheel in comparison to the Speed 400. Braking duties on the Scrambler 400 X are taken care of by a larger 320mm disc at the front (300mm unit on the Speed 400) and a 230mm disc at the back. Both motorcycles come with dual-channel ABS as standard equipment, which can be deactivated on the Scrambler 400 X.

Triumph Scrambler 400 X: Features

On the feature front, the Scrambler 400 X gets full-LED lighting, ride-by-wire, switchable traction control, dual-channel ABS, an immobiliser, an assist clutch, a USB-C charging port, and a semi-digital instrument cluster, all as standard. Then, there is the same digi-analogue screen that displays a fuel gauge meter, a digital tachometer, a gear position indicator, trip information, and so on. Apart from these, the bike also comes with over 25 accessories, covering everything from comfort and style to luggage and security.

Triumph Scrambler 400 X: Dimensions, Design

Style-wise, the Scrambler 400 X seems fresh, however, it does share a few similarities with the Speed 400. The differences can be boiled down to a rounded side panel, a split-style seat layout, a headlight grille, all-terrain tyres, as well as a new exhaust system. On offer are also wide handlebars and knuckle guards.

In terms of dimensions, the Scrambler 400X has a slightly longer wheelbase than the Speed 400, sitting at 1,418mm. The height of the seats also differs. With a seat height of 835mm, the Scrambler 400X is 35mm taller than the Speed 400.
