The new Triumph Scrambler 400 XC adds tubeless spoked wheels, high-mounted guards, hand guards, and extra visual presence to the 400 range. Tested around Marysville, Australia on paved roads, gravel, and light trails, the review explores exactly where this model shines.
The Scrambler 400 XC has tubeless spoked wheels, a high-mount guard, even hand guards. This would be a waste on pavement alone. If it can handle gravel roads and light trails, that's exactly my kind of thing. A bike whose value shows once you bring it into dirt and mud. Perfect as a weekend-fun companion.

Are tubeless spoke wheels actually easier to repair when you get a flat?
Right, easier to repair than a regular tube type and easier to manage tire pressure too, that's the advantage.
Bugs me the article doesn't give concrete numbers for weight or horsepower, hard to picture the performance side.
Among scrambler-style bikes this is one you end up wanting to compare against Honda's CL500 too.
They say it's highly practical, but at 400cc it seems like you'd still feel underpowered on serious off-road.
Handling everything from on-road to gravel and light trails, that breadth of range is the appeal of the 400 class.
Yeah, appreciate that they've properly picked a route where you can try both on and off-road.
The Scrambler 400XC, tubeless spoke wheels are a welcome practical touch.
