Bajaj-Triumph Roadster Spied Again: Looks Production Ready
The first clear view of what is Triumph’s smallest offering yet!
The first clear view of what is Triumph’s smallest offering yet!
KTM serves as a testimony to Bajaj’s economy of scale which helps premium brands make affordable yet fun motorcycles. Hence, this near-production-ready Triumph-Bajaj roadster spied in the UK has us at the edge of our seats, wondering, will we see it on the road very soon?
This is the first time we are seeing the true lines of the motorcycle clearly and it has the silhouette of the Triumph Street Twin at first glance. The motorcycle looks sharp and is very good looking with its LED headlight, USD fork, flat handlebar, bar end mirrors, one-piece seat and duckbill taillight. Very retro, very urban, very roadster. But there is a scrambler version in the works too.
But, what’s most beautiful to look at is that engine casing. It’s a tastefully scaled-down version of the bigger twins in Triumph’s lineup. It’s a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor that is expected to be a sub-500cc mill.
The frame is seen suspended on a USD fork and a monoshock at the rear. The USD appears to be similar to what we have seen on Husqvarna 250’s. The test mule is seen running on 17-inch alloy wheels and radially mounted brake calipers, again, similar to the Husky 250’s.
The fact that the mule has been making runs debadged and unmasked makes us believe that the motorcycle is almost ready for mass production. Which, in turn, means, a launch could be around the corner - say later this year. We expect the Triumph-Bajaj bike to cost around Rs 2.50 lakh (ex-showroom).
Triumph Scrambler 400 X (2023-2025) User Reviews
I like the character of the engine, it's free revving and response. The seating position is upright and relaxing. I'm 6'2 and for my height the 835mm seat is great. It's nimble and easy to maneuver as well. My ownership experience has been great so far Mileage is slightly lower than expected. Bike is giving around 24kmpl in the city and 32 kmpl on the highway if riden at 100kmph. On the maintenance front there are no major issues just regular wear and tear replacements. I would recommend this bike to someone who's looking for a fun to ride bike which is easy to handle in the city and is comfortable on long rides with the ability to handle mild offroad trails. If the character of the bike and the way it makes you feel is important, the Scrambler 400x is the bike to get. Read More

I was looking for a tall bike because I'm 6.2 feet. I want my bike to fit my lookings. Scrambler perfectly fits me. It attracted me with its looks. I explored multiple options like, Harley Davidson X440, Himalayan 450, Scram 411, Xpulse 210, Yezdi Adv. But they didn't suits me. After all confusions, watched reviews in youtube and read it. Then I confirmed this is my bike. Comfort for the rider is top notch, no back pain. Can ride 100kms easily in one stretch. Smooth like a butter. Performance is really admiring. But pillion comfort is somewhat bad. Hard and small seat. It goes very smooth till 120, after that you can feel the vibration in handle bar and wind blast. Definitely I'll recommend to the persons who are tall like me. It attracts everyone, whenever I ride the bike or park the bike, there will be atleast 3 to 5 persons look at the bike for sometimes. I got compliments on it also. But If a person is not that much, this is not for them. Height and weight they cannot manage.Read More

I wanted a bike that feels relaxed on highways, strong enough for quick overtakes and comfortable on bad roads. The Scrambler's build quality, riding posture and stylish design made the choice easy. After riding around 10,000km, the ride has been soo much satisfying. Suspension handles rough patches well, stable handling, power delivery and mileage is decent. There is no major complaints so far Yes, I would definitely recommend it to riders looking for a premium, comfortable bike for daily use and long weekend rides. It suits best for experienced riders, as it feels a bit heavy for beginners .Read More
