Triumph Scrambler 400 X

I'm planning to buy my first premium motorcycle and have a budget of around Rs. 3.1 lakh on-road. After a lot of research and multiple test rides, I've narrowed my options down to the Triumph Tracker 400 and the Triumph Scrambler 400 X. I'm looking for advice from owners or experienced riders who have spent time with either or both bikes. I've been riding motorcycles for around 7-8 years and this bike will be my primary motorcycle for at least the next 4-5 years. My usage will be approximately 70-80% city commuting to office and 20-30% rides during weekend with occasional long-distance trips of more than 250 km every 2-3 months. I will almost always have a pillion with me, so pillion comfort, suspension, and overall ride quality are very important factors. I enjoy riding but I'm not someone who rides aggressively all the time. I appreciate a refined, confidence-inspiring motorcycle that is also enjoyable on open highways. I'll be paying the full amount in cash so I'm looking for the best overall ownership experience rather than simply the cheapest option. During my test rides, the Tracker 400 felt lighter, more road-focused, and easier to ride in the city. It had a cowl so didn't get to check it with the pillion. The Scrambler 400 X engine felt somewhat the same but just a little toned down and not as aggresive as the Tracker given the higher power produced and better suspension. However, the braking was not as expected. My main concerns are related to finding more suitable bike for someone who rides mostly in the city but enjoys weekend touring. Which bike is more comfortable for both rider and pillion on longer rides? Does the Scrambler's taller suspension and larger front wheel become a disadvantage in daily city riding? Is the Tracker significantly easier to live with in traffic? Considering the fact that I'll own the bike for 4-5 years, which one offers the better overall ownership experience? I'd really appreciate insights from owners, especially those who have ridden both motorcycles or regularly ride with a pillion. Thanks in advance!

Which bike should I choose between the Triumph Scrambler 400 X and the Harley-Davidson X440? I'm 6 feet tall and need a comfortable, easy-to-ride motorcycle for daily commuting in Pune's traffic and pothole-ridden roads, with occasional weekend rides. My budget is under Rs. 4 lakh on-road, and I plan to keep the bike for 7+ years. My priorities are: Rider and pillion comfort Excellent suspension Easy city manoeuvrability Reliability and low maintenance Good fuel efficiency Premium fit, finish, and road presence Based on these requirements, which bike would you recommend and why? Please compare their comfort, suspension, traffic-friendliness, pillion comfort, mileage, maintenance, and long-term ownership experience. Also, suggest any better alternatives under Rs. 4 lakh on-road.

Hi Autocar team - I’m deciding between the 2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 and the Triumph Scrambler 400 X. I’m 6 ft tall and find the Dominar more comfortable for my height, but I’d like to know which bike is more reliable in the long run and easier to maintain. My budget is around ₹2.5 lakh, so value for money matters. Also, why hasn’t Autocar published a proper review of the 2025 Dominar 400 yet? I’d appreciate your advice.

Between the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 and the Triumph Scrambler 400 X, which is better for daily rides and touring?

Please reply, Autocar. I am planning to upgrade from Hunter 350. I have shortlisted three bikes: the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, Triumph Speed 400, and Triumph Scrambler 400 X (though I’m concerned about its height). My height is 5'3 tall with an inseam of 28. I planned for ADV, but due to a lack of confidence with height, I am not sure whether it would be the right choice. So, I request you to give me practical advice. My budget is ₹3.3 lakh.
