Triumph Scrambler 400 XC vs Scrambler 400 X: price and differences explained

Triumph has launched the Scrambler 400 XC. Along with a new suffix, the XC gets a handful of accessories as standard, and this model will be sold alongside the standard model. Here are all the differences between the two. 

Triumph Scrambler 400 XC vs Scrambler 400 X: wheels

The major differentiating factor is that the higher-spec XC model gets cross-spoke wheels. This is also an attributing factor in driving the cost up by a fair bit. Cross-spoke wheels offer the best of both worlds: they provide the flex and durability of regular spoked wheels (for the most part) while offering the convenience of tubeless tyres.

Along with these cosmetic additions, Triumph has also provided additional protection in the form of a lower engine guard and an aluminium sump guard.
