Triumph Scrambler 400 XC : Motorcycles

The frame is a classic cradle, the fork a 43 mm gold-anodised upside-down unit and the rear a piggyback monoshock with preload adjustment; the 19-inch front wheel and the side-laced Excel rims with tubeless spokes are what separate the XC from the road-going 400s. The seat sits at 835 mm, on Metzeler Karoo Street tyres.

Triumph opened its 400 cc range in 2023 with the Speed 400 and the Scrambler 400 X, built in India with Bajaj. The Scrambler 400 XC and the Tracker 400 extend that platform: the XC towards the dirt, with a 19-inch front wheel and spoked rims, the Tracker towards flat-track styling on 17-inch cast wheels.
