Triumph Motorcycles has officially introduced the all-new Scrambler 400 XC in India, priced at ₹2.94 lakh (ex-showroom). This new model extends the capabilities of the standard Scrambler 400 X by adding key off-road-ready features, making it a tempting pick for thrill-seekers who want more than just street presence.
Off-Road Ready Design and Features
The Scrambler 400 XC brings a more rugged look and feel to the table, backed by real functional upgrades:
Tubeless Spoke Wheels: One of the standout additions is a pair of cross-spoked wheels designed to run tubeless tyres. The 19-inch front and 17-inch rear setup ensures both off-road strength and on-road comfort.
Rider Protection in Tough Terrain: With an aluminum bash plate guarding the underbelly and engine crash bars now standard, this Scrambler is clearly built for rough roads and rocky trails.
Refreshed Aesthetic: Visually, the XC gets a revamped front with a color-matched flyscreen and front fender, offering a more premium and purpose-built appearance.
New Paint Options: Buyers can now choose from eye-catching color schemes like Racing Yellow, Storm Grey, and Vanilla White, adding flair to function.
Performance That Keeps Pace
Under the bodywork, the XC variant sticks with the same powertrain found in the regular 400 X — a 398cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. It pumps out 39.5 bhp of peak power and 37.5 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth-shifting 6-speed gearbox. This setup strikes a good balance between everyday usability and weekend trail rides.
Handling and Suspension
Suspension Travel: Offering 150mm of travel at both ends, the suspension setup is tuned to absorb the hits of unpredictable terrain without compromising road comfort.
Stopping Power: A large 320mm disc up front and a 230mm disc at the rear, backed by dual-channel ABS (with a rear deactivation option), give the rider full control whether on tarmac or trails.
Feature Highlights
The Scrambler 400 XC comes loaded with features aimed at enhancing control and safety:
Traction Control System: Helps manage wheel spin, especially useful in loose or wet conditions.
Ride-by-Wire: Electronic throttle provides crisp, precise input and smoother acceleration.
Assist and Slipper Clutch: Reduces lever effort and prevents rear-wheel chatter during hard downshifts.
USB Charging Port: Adds a layer of convenience for long-distance riders needing to stay connected.
Where It Stands in the Market
Positioned as a more rugged sibling to the standard Scrambler 400 X, the XC model enters the segment with serious adventure credentials. It takes aim at competitors like the Royal Enfield Scram 411 and the Yezdi Scrambler, while leveraging Triumph’s modern engineering and global reputation.
Final Thoughts
The Triumph Scrambler 400 XC is not just about cosmetic tweaks — it’s built to explore beyond the pavement. At ₹2.94 lakh, it brings true adventure DNA, smart rider aids, and rugged equipment into a package that’s accessible and exciting for India’s growing tribe of off-road enthusiasts.
