Result

No wonder that the Scrambler 400 X made it into the top 10 of new registrations in Germany in June 2024: For only 6,295 euros, Triumph is putting a beautiful and well-made machine on the road that should appeal not only to A2 aspirants. At one point or another, you notice this low price, but all in all, the 400 X is a well-made scrambler that is also suitable for taller people.
 
The test bike was provided to us by the Triumph flagship store "Q-Bike" in Hamburg Rothenburgsort . Not only the 400 X will be available as a demonstrator, but also the naked bike counterpart Triumph Speed 400. If you are hesitating between these two bikes, you can try both machines at Q-Bike!
