Triumph Scrambler 400X Full Review: The Best A2 Scrambler?

In this video, I take the Triumph Scrambler 400X for a deep dive—exploring everything from its styling to its off-road capabilities and even how it holds up on the motorway. Triumph claims this bike delivers big scrambler energy in a small, accessible package. But does it really live up to the hype?

From its eye-catching classic design to its smooth midrange power delivery, the Scrambler 400X ticks a lot of boxes. It’s A2 licence compliant, approachable for new riders, and offers genuine off-road potential without feeling intimidating. I break down its road handling, off-road behaviour, and how it fares in city commuting and motorway riding.

This review is built from a full day in the saddle, pushing the bike through real-world conditions—including twisty roads, rough gravel, and yes, some less-than-ideal British weather. I also go over braking, suspension, tech features, and the surprisingly decent exhaust note from that single-cylinder engine.

If you’re in the market for a lightweight scrambler that doesn’t compromise on fun, this could be the one for you.
