Triumph Scrambler 400X Launched in India: The Speed's Sibling

The Indian automobile industry recently witnessed the successful launch of the Speed 400, leading to a collaborative venture between Triumph Motorcycles & Bajaj Auto, who have now unveiled the Scrambler 400 X in India.

This motorcycle launch has already drawn much anticipation, as evidenced by the strong pre-booking response. The Scrambler 400 X is now purchasable at an ex-showroom price (Delhi) of 2.63 Lakhs and will be available through the extensive Triumph dealer network, which is set to rapidly expand across 100+ cities within this fiscal year.

Born in Hinckley, UK, and built in the state-of-the-art Bajaj Chakan plant, the Scrambler 400 X carries the classic Triumph design elements, such as a significant Triumph silhouette, attention-grabbing sculpted fuel tank, and high-quality fit and finish. It sports an array of practical and purposeful features which enhance its performance both on and off-road.

Keeping in line with the Triumph's 'Trophy' lineage, the Scrambler 400 X comes with a top-of-the-line liquid-cooled fuel injected 398cc engine which combines Triumph's modern classic style with top-notch engineering for matchless performance. The engine churns out 39.4bhp and 37.5Nm of peak torque for a responsive and entertaining power delivery and a rich, distinctive exhaust note.

One of the significant aspects of the Triumph Scrambler 400X is its comfort-minded ergonomics. It comes with a slim waistline, low weight, an easily accessible seat height, and a long wheelbase among other features that ensure easy handling and maneuverability. It features wide handlebars and a 19-inch front wheel that ensures greater stability and control for both on and off-road adventures.

For the digital age, the Scrambler 400 X comes with a dual-format instrument cluster, ride-by-wire throttle, ABS, all-LED lighting and traction control. These contribute to not only the motorcycle’s aesthetic appeal but to safer, comfortable, and more enjoyable rides.

Over 25 genuine accessories are available for added customisation. These accessories, designed to suit a wide range of riders' needs, are available for purchase from any authorised Triumph dealer or via an easy-to-use online configurator. Another comforting factor for potential owners is the motorcycle's two-year unlimited mileage warranty.

With a combination of class-leading performance, unrivalled quality, and low running costs, the Triumph Scrambler 400X proves to be an exceptional value for money. Owners can relish the peace of mind with a generous 16,000 km service interval and a five-year warranty. With the added assurance of 24x7x365 road-side assistance at just Rs.500/-, the Scrambler 400 X triumphs as a symbol of style, freedom, and adventurous biking experience, reinforcing the legacy of Triumph Motorcycles and Bajaj Auto.

The Scrambler's Lineage

The Scrambler motorcycle is celebrated for its fusion of a road bike's versatility with the off-road prowess of a dirt bike. Its design facilitates easy manoeuvre across challenging terrains, like broken roads, and soft trails, thanks to a rugged frame, ample ground clearance, a long-travel suspension, and large front wheel. The Scrambler's distinct style resonates with those who crave fun and freedom in any road scenario, be it paved or unpaved.

Regarded by many as the creators of the world's first iconic scrambler, Triumph has successfully brought to mind the adventurous spirit of 70s movie star Steve McQueen on his 650cc 'desert sled' Bonneville and daredevil Evel Knievel, with his legendary T120TT. The Scrambler 400 X is no different, encapsulating this larger-than-life heritage whilst catering to a new generation of riders looking for urban classic style and all-road riding thrill.
