Triumph Scrambler 400 X versus Fantic Caballero Scrambler 500

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!

Conclusion - what sticks

Awesome, an imperfect bike! The Fantic Caballero 500 is a typical Italian: Here a little diva-like, boastful and loud, but absolutely endearing and emotional. You like them or you don't like them, there will be hardly anything else in between. Performance and technical equipment take a back seat to the Caballero, with design, sound and the wonderfully mocking single-cylinder engine in the foreground.
 
The test bike was provided by Legendary Cycles in Hamburg. There is the Caballero 500 Scrambler as a demonstrator. And while you're there, take a look at the many other bikes from Legendary: There are bikes from Indian, Benelli, Royal Enfield, Moto Morini, Mash and Fantic. Delightful shop. Coffee is also available, but do not press "Capucchino", the milk frother is broken.
