Design
The Triumph Scrambler 400X has a modern retro look combined with the scrambler properties. The front of the scrambler is contemporary with LED lighting similar to the Speed 400. The front tyre is 19 inches which lifts the front giving an aggressive look. The LED headlight is protected with a grille from rocks and pebbles when going off-road. The handle is tall which will be easier for saddling during long tours. The hand is protected with the handguard which comes stock with the bike.
Coming to the side, the Triumph Scrambler 400X has a proper scrambler feel with 835 mm ground clearance and 195 mm of seat height. The Scrambler 400X also comes with an aluminium skid plate which protects the underside from rocks when going off-road.
The exhaust has a scrambler design with a dual-tip outlet, producing an aggressive bass and thump on a higher rev range. The split seat is comfortable with the rider seat slightly lower and inclined than the passenger for comfort while riding. The tank is muscular with a dual-tone finish and Triumph logos engraved on either side.
The rear of the Triumph Scrambler 400X features the same taillight as the Speed 400. The taillight is the same as the Speed 400X. The grab handles connect one piece on either side for the pillion and act as a mounting point for the accessories.
The instrument cluster of the Triumph 400X is shared with the Speed 400. The hybrid instrument cluster includes both digital and analogue parts. The analogue part displays the information for the speed, warning lights, Neutral indicator, headlight, indicators, ABS on/off and Traction Control on/off. The digital part displays information such as RPM, gear position, fuel meter, time and trip meter.
