Triumph has officially launched the Scrambler 400 XC in India, priced at Rs. 2.94 lakh (ex-showroom). This makes it Rs. 28,000 more expensive than the standard Scrambler 400 X, and for good reason. The XC variant brings more rugged styling, functional upgrades, and a visual identity that gives it an edge in the growing scrambler segment.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes the XC version stand apart.
Features
The biggest change on the Scrambler 400 XC is the introduction of tubeless, cross-spoke wheels — a significant upgrade over the alloy wheels seen on the base model. These wheels maintain the same 19-inch front and 17-inch rear sizes but bring the added practicality of easier puncture repair and off-road readiness.
Also new are the body-coloured front fender and flyscreen. These design elements not only enhance the bike’s appearance but also give it a more muscular and purposeful look. The XC just looks more adventure-ready straight from the showroom floor.
Triumph has also added functional protection parts, including:
- Aluminium sump guard
- Engine crash guards
These bits come as standard on the XC and add real-world value for riders looking to take their scrambler off the beaten path.
Colours
The Scrambler 400 XC comes in three new colour schemes:
- Racing Yellow
- Storm Grey
- Vanilla White
Each paint job adds character and blends well with the rugged styling. These shades further differentiate the XC from the 400 X, which has a more urban look.
Engine
Mechanically, the XC shares its heart with the standard Scrambler 400 X. It’s powered by the same 398cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that churns out 39.5bhp and 37.5Nm of torque. The motor is mated to a six-speed gearbox and delivers a peppy, balanced performance ideal for both urban riding and weekend exploring.
Suspension
Suspension duties on the XC remain unchanged, with 150mm of travel at both ends. This setup, combined with a ground clearance of 195mm and a seat height of 835mm, makes the XC capable of handling mild off-road trails while still being accessible to a wide range of riders.
Electronics
The Scrambler 400 XC is well-equipped on the electronics front. It includes:
- Ride-by-wire throttle
- Traction control
- Switchable dual-channel ABS
- Assist and slipper clutch
- USB charger
These features make the bike safer, more convenient, and more refined than you’d expect from a single-cylinder scrambler.
Rivals
With this launch, the Scrambler 400 XC takes aim at other mid-range scramblers in the market, including:
- Royal Enfield Scram 440 (upcoming)
- Yezdi Scrambler
Triumph’s premium positioning, combined with the new features on the XC, gives it a strong edge, especially for buyers looking for a refined and adventure-ready machine straight out of the box.
