Triumph Speed 400, Scrambler 400X: Design and Dimensions

The new Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X have a stylish design. The Speed Twin 900 and the Speed 400 share certain visual cues, while the latter being noticeably more modern and sleek in appearance. It's worth noting that the suspension travel of the Scrambler 400X and the Speed 400 are identical. Redesigned exhaust, all-terrain tyres, and detachable seats are just a few of the new features on the Scrambler 400X that are different from that of the Speed 400. 

The two motorcycles are also quite distinct in size. The Scrambler 400X's wheelbase is 1,418mm but the Speed 400's is just 1,377mm. Additionally, the seat height also varies. The Scrambler 400X is 45mm higher than the Speed 400, coming in at 835mm as opposed to 790mm. 

Triumph Speed 400, Scrambler 400X: Features

Both bikes come standard with features such as all-LED headlamps, a USB Type-C charging port, a semi-digital instrument cluster, switchable traction control, dual-channel ABS, assist clutch and traction control system. In addition to the small LCD screen, each motorcycle also has an analogue speedometer. There is a digital tachometer, gear position indicator, trip computer, and fuel metre. 

Seeing a sign for a heated grip raises questions about whether or not the British manufacturer will provide this as an extra. The dual-channel ABS on the Scrambler can be switched to an off-road mode if the owner so chooses.
