350cc Triumph Scrambler 400 X Performance Tested and Explained thumbnail image

All locally manufactured Triumph motorcycles are now sold with a new 349cc single-cylinder that has been downsized from the original 399cc motor. On paper, the performance drops are small, with power going from 40hp at 8,000rpm to 37hp at 8,500rpm, and torque from 37.5Nm at 6,500rpm to 32Nm at 7,000rpm.

350cc Triumph Scrambler 400 X: Acceleration

During our test, the conditions were dry.

Acceleration

Time (seconds)

0-40kph

1.79s 

0-60kph

3.27s 

0-80kph

5.37s 

0-100kph

8.54s 

The power delivery of this new motor is now more linear. Power picks up nicely at 6,000rpm, and it redlines at 9,700rpm. The motor now produces noticeably lower vibrations, and this is something you’ll enjoy both in the city and on the highway. There are no changes to the gearing, but the bike now feels more relaxed at 100kph, and this makes it a better tourer as well.

350cc Triumph Scrambler 400 X: Roll-On Acceleration

The bike makes 37hp at 8,500rpm and 32Nm at 7,000rpm.

Roll-On Acceleration

Time (seconds)

20-50kph (2nd Gear)

2.82s

30-70kph (3rd Gear)

4.12s

50-80kph (4th Gear)

4.20s

In our roll-on acceleration tests, the bike took 2.82 seconds to get from 20-50kph, 4.12 seconds from 30-70kph, and 4.20 seconds for the 50-80kph run. In the city, it is quite tractable and easily makes quick overtakes when needed. 

350cc Triumph Scrambler 400 X: Braking

Decent braking performance but could do with better feedback.

Braking

Distance

60-0kph

16.51 metres

The Scrambler 400 X still gets organic brake pads and the feel at the lever is not the sharpest. Upgrading to the sintered pads will improve the braking feedback.

New Maruti Dzire likely to be the most feature-rich compact sedan It’ll share most of its mechanicals with the Swift hatchback Dzire CNG is expected to arrive soon after the standard model 2024 Maruti Dzire interior highlights, features, exterior Until now, we expected the Dzire compact sedan have more or less the same features set as the new and upcoming Swift . The addition of the sunroof will definitely set the Maruti apart in the segment, though whether the new Swift will also receive it is yet unknown. In international right-hand-drive markets, such as the UK and Japan, the new-gen Swift does not get a sunroof. In top-spec form, the Dzire is likely to be the best equipped model in its class thanks to the sunroof...

-
Image
Looking for advice on which new bike to purchase. Few things to note - Budget is INR 3-4 Lakhs. It will not be my primary mode of transport as I mostly use my car. The bike will be used 60-70 percent for Sunday morning rides, 10-20 percent touring and 10-20 percent maybe the odd office commute or coffee run. Prefer comfortable upright ergonomics. Do let me know if you need any further info from my end. Thanks in advance for your help! Rahul Khurana, New Delhi Autocar India says: You haven’t mentioned whether the bike you are looking for is meant to be sporty and exciting or calm and relaxed in nature, so we’ll share a few options at both ends of that spectrum. Since this is going to be a casual use motorcycle we’ll keep things like fuel efficiency as a low priority but all options mentioned here will have upright ergonomics. At the sporty end, there’s no beating the new Gen 3 KTM 390 Duke which offers the strongest performance available at this price as well as outstanding handl...
