Triumph Motorcycles has formally teased the Scrambler 400 XC ahead of its highly-anticipated Indian launch that will happen later this month. The Scrambler 400 XC is rumoured to be launched approximately ₹30,000 over the standard Scrambler 400X. The Triumph Scrambler 400 XC comes with several new upgrades and an adventure-ready design that intends to impress the biking community.
What Makes the Scrambler 400 XC Different?
The Triumph Scrambler 400 XC is really a more dirt, off-road orientated sibling to the Scrambler 400 X. Although both bikes share essentially the same mechanical components, the XC variant adds both features and functionality for tougher terrain.
Key Upgrades:
- Tubeless cross-spoke wheels for added durability and easier repairs
- Aluminium sump guard for robust engine protection
- Upper and lower engine bars to improve off-road safety
- Body-coloured beak fender and visor for added styling and function
These additions elevate both the look and off-road capability of the Scrambler 400 XC, making it a perfect companion for adventure enthusiasts.
New Design & Styling
One of the biggest highlights teased by Triumph is the bold yellow paint scheme. Along with unique speed-block graphics, the bike has a more aggressive, attention-getting look. With this new colourway, it's further differentiated from the standard Scrambler 400 X and lends itself to a tougher image.
