Triumph Scrambler 400 X ride to Kanakpura: Performance on bad roads

I am happy with the purchase, and enjoying riding the bike daily to office commute and on the trails on weekends.

Sharing some pictures from a recent ride around Kanakpura, close to Bangalore. The monsoon has converted the landscape into lush green carpet all around and these are best enjoyed on two wheels.

The Scrambler 400 performed fairly well over bad broken trails. The tyres are not the best for wet grass, gravel, loose & wet mud but does fairly well if one is not trying to push too hard. Could do better with a bit offroad focussed tyres.

3 rides, one on SX250, another on modified 300R and myself on the 400x.

Unreal hues of green.

Trails less taken.

400X is a fairly easy bike to ride on trails etc as long as the sections do not get very tricky/technical. Seat height could be one of the concerns as one lost footing means we will mostly end up dropping the bike. It remains to be seen how the bike takes the drops etc.

So far, I am happy with the purchase, and enjoying riding the bike daily to office commute and on the trails on weekends. Surprisingly its giving decent mileage of around 27 - 29 kmpl with sedate riding comprising of a mix of city and highway usage. The fuel gauge is most erratic and I set the trip to 0 every full tank of gas. And refill with a full tank when the trip reaches around 290-300kms.
