We knew that the Triumph TR 400 platform will beget more models, apart the first two, namely Street 400 and Scrambler 400 X that were launched simultaneously. There were rumours of a much “hotter” Speed and Thruxton-like café racer, but alas, not yet, because the third member of the family is this Triumph Scrambler 400 XC. For now, hopefully. Still, the Scrambler 400 XC is not something to sneeze at; considering that we did not want to return both the Street 400 and Scrambler 400 X after Triumph Motorcycles Malaysia loaned them to us. Both bikes entertained us to no end – this despite us having tested hundreds of other bikes. Anyhoo… The Scrambler 400 XC brings more off-road capabilities compared to the already very-capable Scrambler 400 X. It is like drawing a parallel to the Scrambler 1200 family: The 400 X is like the Scrambler 1200 XC, while 400 XC is like the Scrambler 1200 XE. Don’t ask us why the letters are different… Mount a gun rack/holster to the 400 XC and you are ready for the apocalypse. Highlights The 400 XC model is fitted with new side-laced spoked wheels and lightweight aluminium rims, shod with tubeless Metzeler Karoo Street tyres. 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels give the XC a proper Scrambler stance and elevates (no pun intended) the bike’s off-road capabilities. High-level front mudguard. Flyscreen as well as handguards, engine bars and a solid aluminium sump guard. Two-piece pillion seat. 16,000km service intervals., a two-year unlimited mileage warranty. More than 20 official accessories, from luggage to security. Colours are Racing Yellow, Storm Grey, and Vanilla White. The Triumph Scrambler 400 XC sells for £6,545 (RM37,843.36), on the road in the UK. For comparison, the Scrambler 400 X sells for £5,945.00 (RM34,374.14) on the road in the UK, while the Malaysian price is only RM29,900. Photo gallery
