Triumph Scrambler 400 XC

There is only one Scrambler 400 XC to buy, priced at ₹2,98,809 ex-showroom in Delhi. The only decisions left are colour and whether to finance it.

That makes it priced 72th lowest among the 137 sports bikes we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Svartpilen 401 (₹221 more) and the 390 Duke (₹14,896 less).

On the road in Delhi the base Scrambler 400 XC comes to ₹3.39 Lakh: ₹2,99,333 ex-showroom, ₹25,447 in Delhi road tax and registration (8.5%), ₹14,131 for first-year insurance. Dealers add handling and accessory packs on top; both are negotiable.

Expect 24–26 kmpl from the Scrambler 400 XC in everyday use against a claimed mileage of 26 kmpl. The 4% gap is smaller than most rivals manage.

Among the 114 sports bikes we have reviewed it ranks 74th for mileage, 7 kmpl below the group average of 33 kmpl.

Power comes from a 349cc single producing 36.49 bhp and 32 Nm, paired with a 6 Speed. At 185 kg the power-to-weight figure is 197 bhp per tonne, which ranks 74 of 135 in its class here.

The torque and power figures are well balanced, so it neither needs to be revved hard nor feels lazy when you do.

Chassis hardware includes USD front forks, a rear monoshock, dual-channel ABS, a slipper clutch and traction control, with a disc, 320 mm, 4 piston caliper up front and disc, 230 mm, 1 piston caliper at the rear.

The 835 mm seat is on the tall side. Riders under 5'6" should sit on one before buying.

On safety kit the Scrambler 400 XC has dual-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres, traction control and side-stand engine cut-off. Dual-channel ABS is the one item on this list worth paying for if it is variant-dependent.

What it lacks: alloy wheels, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.

It is offered in 3 colours: Storm Grey, Vanilla White and Racing Yellow. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Standard warranty is 2 years, unlimited km.

Service reach is the weak point: Triumph has about 150 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country. Confirm there is one within reach before you sign.

The Scrambler 400 XC launched in 2026, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
