RIDE REVIEW I 2024 TRIUMPH SCRAMBLER 400 X & SPEED 400
P76
SCRAMBLER 400 X
The Scrambler 400 X is a physically large
motorcycle. Where the Speed feels com-
pact and tight, the Scrambler could be mis-
taken for an 800 instead of a 400. Indeed,
looking at
the specs of this 400 versus
the hefty Triumph Scrambler 1200, the
400 has the same seat height as the 1200
at 32.9 inches and is just a touch shorter
in overall height without the mirrors at
46 inches compared to the 1200's 46.6
inches. So, calling it a full-size bike despite
its engine size is not far off the mark.
The Scrambler runs a couple of extra
links in the chain and thus has a slightly
longer wheelbase than the Speed 400
at 55.8 inches compared to the Speed's
54.2 inches. The longer wheelbase is
Mission control for the
Scrambler. Note the "off"
sign on the dash for the
traction control.
(Bottom L-R) The
400 motor looks
just like the larger
1200 minus one
exhaust. It's a
good-looking thing.
The plank seat on
the Speed 400 is
comfy for big days
on the road.
