Triumph Announces Scrambler 400 XC for North America

Atlanta,  Georgia- Triumph Motorcycles today announced the Scrambler 400 XC for the North American market, expanding its modern-classic 400 platform with a more rugged, off-road-ready variant that will be sold alongside the cast-wheeled Scrambler 400 X. Designed in Hinckley, UK, the XC blends classic Scrambler style with approachable performance and a high standard specification to welcome a new generation of riders.

“Scrambler 400 XC delivers authentic Triumph character in a lightweight, confidence-inspiring package equally happy on city streets and gravel backroads,” said Triumph Motorcycles in a statement. “By combining accessible ergonomics, tractable power, and purposeful equipment, we’ve built a small-capacity Scrambler that feels big on capability.”

• TR-Series 398cc single: liquid-cooled, DOHC, 4-valve; approx. 39.5 hp and 27.7 lb-ft; 6-speed with slip/assist clutch
• Off-road intent: new side-laced wire-spoke 19/17 wheels (tubeless), high front fender, engine bars, aluminum sump guard
• Chassis & brakes: 43 mm USD forks and piggyback monoshock (150 mm travel front/rear); 320 mm front disc with 4-piston radial caliper
• Rider aids: switchable traction control and Off-Road ABS mode
• Ergonomics & weight: slim standover, 32.7 in (835 mm) seat height, wide bars; XC wet weight ~419 lb (heavier than Scrambler 400 X)
• Cockpit & connectivity: dual-format analog speedometer + LCD (gear indicator, range remaining), handlebar scroll button, USB-C charging

Echoing Triumph’s Scrambler 900/1200 lineage, the 400 XC pairs a sculpted tank and upswept exhaust silhouette with modern engineering. Standard kit includes wire-spoke wheels with Excel aluminum rims, Metzeler dual-purpose tires, handguards and flyscreen, plus robust underbody protection for rougher terrain.

The Scrambler 400 XC’s technical package includes a 398cc single with Bosch engine management and ride-by-wire, paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a torque-assist (slip/assist) clutch and X-ring chain final drive. Suspension is handled by 43 mm USD forks and a piggyback rear shock, each offering 150 mm of travel with rear preload adjustment. Braking comes via a 320 mm front disc with a 4-piston radial caliper and a 230 mm rear disc, both with ABS. It rolls on wire-spoke 19-inch (front) and 17-inch (rear) tubeless-ready wheels, and features a 32.7 in (835 mm) seat height. Electronics include switchable traction control, an Off-Road ABS mode, and a USB-C charging port, while instrumentation is a classic analogue speedometer with an integrated multi-function LCD.

The Scrambler 400 XC will arrive at authorized Triumph dealers across the U.S. and Canada beginning late 2025, with full MSRP and color details to be confirmed closer to launch. A range of factory accessories—including heated grips, luggage solutions, and protection upgrades—will be available at introduction.
