Pros & Cons of Triumph Scrambler 400 XC

• What we admire in this bike

  • Tubeless wire-spoke wheels offer true scrambler functionality.
  • Long-travel suspension ideal for mild off-roading
  • Excellent build quality and Triumph’s iconic design DNA
  • Loaded with modern features like ride modes, traction control, and LED lighting
  • Backed by a 5-year warranty and low ownership costs

• What could have been better

  • At Rs 2.94 lakh, pricing touches the premium territory
  • Still lacks navigation or TFT cluster like some rivals
  • No major engine update from the Scrambler 400X
  • Limited dealer/service network in tier-2 and tier-3 cities

Design & Styling - Rugged Yet Retro 9

• The Scrambler 400 XC captures Triumph’s rich scrambler DNA with high-mounted fenders, a minimalistic body, and a sculpted tank that looks straight out of the brand’s 900 and 1200cc playbook.
• A bold beak-style front fender, compact windscreen, and colour-matched handguards complete the off-road aesthetic.
• The XC debuts three all-new colourways - Racing Yellow, Vanilla White, and Granite - each with speed-block graphics.
• Additions like the aluminium sump guard and engine crash bars not only look purposeful but also serve critical protection on rough terrain.

• The semi-digital instrument cluster displays all essentials and is paired with a USB charging port and immobilizer for added practicality.

Engine & Performance - Refined and Responsive 8.9

• Powered by the proven 398cc liquid-cooled TR-series engine, it makes 39.5bhp at 8000 rpm and 37.5Nm at 6500 rpm.
• The six-speed gearbox is smooth and responsive, aided by a slip-and-assist clutch for better control under quick downshifts.
• While the power figures may not top the segment, the motor is tuned for strong low- and mid-range torque, ideal for trails and urban riding alike.
• Twin-skin exhaust pipes keep heat in check and provide a throaty exhaust note, enhancing both performance and aesthetics.

Ride & Handling - Trail-Tuned Dynamics 9

• Unlike its sibling, the XC gets 150mm travel at both ends: 43mm USD forks up front and a gas-charged monoshock at the rear.
• The dual-purpose suspension strikes a neat balance between off-road flexibility and on-road comfort.
• Rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear tubeless spoke wheels with dual-sport tyres - a significant upgrade over alloy setups in rivals.
• Ergonomically upright, with a well-padded seat and wide bars, making long rides and trails equally fun and fatigue-free.

Brakes & Safety - Confident Adventurer 8.5

• The Scrambler 400 XC is equipped with disc brakes at both ends, supported by dual-channel ABS.
• ABS is switchable, with an off-road mode disabling rear ABS for better control on loose surfaces.
• The additional protection via engine guards and bash plate further elevate its safety credentials.
• The ride-by-wire and traction control system offer extra reassurance when navigating tricky terrain or wet tarmac.
