Triumph Motorcycles has spiced up its Scrambler 400 X lineup in India with a fresh new colour option—Lava Red Satin. This new shade brings a more vibrant and premium visual appeal to the scrambler-styled motorcycle, replacing the older red scheme while keeping the rest of the colour palette intact.
Colour
The Lava Red Satin finish stands out with its soft matte texture and bolder tone compared to the previous Volcanic Red/Phantom Black combo. From what we’ve seen in images, this new paint job gives the Scrambler 400 X a sportier and slightly more upmarket feel.
It’s a minor change, sure, but one that adds a dash of uniqueness for buyers who like their motorcycles to stand out. And yes, the existing blue and green colour options are still on sale.
Price
With the new paint update comes a tiny bump in price. Triumph has increased the cost by just Rs. 758. That brings the new ex-showroom price to:
| Model | Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| Scrambler 400 X | Rs. 2.67 lakh |
Given the minimal price change, the Lava Red Satin variant offers a refreshed look without hitting the wallet hard.
Engine
Under the skin, nothing has changed—which isn’t a bad thing at all. The Scrambler 400 X continues to use the same TR-series 398cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It churns out around 40bhp and 37.5Nm of torque, paired with a slick six-speed gearbox.
The motor is known for its smooth and linear power delivery, making it approachable for new riders while still enjoyable for seasoned ones. The gearbox is also a delight—precise, smooth, and quick to engage.
Versatility
What makes the Scrambler 400 X so likeable is its ability to do a little bit of everything. It’s nimble enough for city streets, stable enough for highway touring, and capable enough for light off-roading. While it may not be a hardcore trail machine, it’s versatile, comfy, and carries Triumph’s signature scrambler styling with confidence.
The bike comes equipped with long-travel suspension, a comfortable upright stance, and dual-purpose tyres—all of which help it feel at home on both tarmac and gravel.
Future
If you’re looking for something even more off-road-focused, Triumph has more in store. The company is working on a Scrambler 400 XC, a more rugged sibling designed with serious trail-riding in mind. Expect beefier suspension, more aggressive tyres, and maybe a few more off-road specific features. It’s slated to launch soon in India.
So, whether you’re into daily commuting, weekend touring, or light off-roading, the Scrambler 400 X—with its new Lava Red Satin avatar—remains a strong and stylish contender in the sub-400cc ADV space.
