If you like a cool scrambler look but need to stay in the A2-compatible range when it comes to the engine, the Triumph Scrambler 400 X is a really smart choice. The 400cc engine has a nice torque in the mid-range; it doesn't really wind out a gear. The riding position is upright, the suspension is comfortable yet stable. The Scrambler 400 X can therefore also be ridden in a sporty manner, although the front brakes require too much manual force when ridden with vigour. On the other hand, the features are generous with the many off-road orientated attachments and put the higher price into perspective compared to the naked Speed 400 sister.
