Triumph Scrambler 400 X Powertrain and Specifications
Underneath its sleek exterior, the Scrambler 400 X boasts the same powerful heart as the Speed 400. This heart is a 398 cc, four-valve, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, DOHC engine tuned to perfection. It delivers a robust 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm and an impressive 37.5 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. The engine is seamlessly mated to a 6-speed gearbox, complete with a torque assist clutch for smooth and responsive gear changes.
The Scrambler 400 X redefines the riding experience with its upright riding stance, placing the rider in a taller and more commanding position. It incorporates rider-focused enhancements, including a larger brake pedal and serrated footpegs designed for improved grip. These footpegs are thoughtfully positioned lower and wider, facilitating a natural and effortless stand-up riding posture. Like its counterpart, the Triumph Scrambler 400 X features advanced technology, including switchable traction control, ride-by-wire throttle, and a Bosch dual-channel ABS system. Riders also have the option to disable ABS at the rear wheel for a more personalized riding experience.
The Scrambler 400 X prioritizes off-road capability with a 43 mm big-piston upside-down fork up front, offering 150 mm of travel. At the rear, it maintains the same 150 mm travel, ensuring a balanced and capable suspension setup. Notably, this model is equipped with a larger 19-inch front wheel and wider handlebars, further enhancing its off-road prowess.
The cast steel brake pedal and high-grip footpegs, placed lower and wider, promote an optimal riding position for off-road adventures. Additionally, the Scrambler 400 X features a slightly larger 320 mm front disc equipped with a radially-mounted four-piston caliper from ByBre, paired with a 230 mm single-pot caliper on the rear wheel, ensuring confident and responsive braking performance.
