2026 Triumph Scrambler 400 XC Power and Design

For the 2026 model year, the Triumph Scrambler 400 XC delivers a great balance of usable power and classic Scrambler style, making it just as fun to ride as it is to look at. At its core is a 398cc liquid-cooled TR-series engine that's tuned for strong low-end pull with plenty of punch as the revs climb, putting out 39.5 horsepower and 27.7 lb-ft of torque. The smooth 6-speed transmission feels light and precise, with gearing that makes the most of the engine's flexible powerband. A slip-and-assist clutch keeps shifts easy and controlled, especially when riding on loose surfaces or tricky terrain. Ride-by-wire throttle response is clean and predictable, working seamlessly with traction control and ABS, while the twin-pipe exhaust delivers a deep, distinctive sound that gives the Scrambler 400 XC its unmistakable attitude.

This motorbike is designed for all kinds of terrain! Power delivery is smooth and predictable, which makes the Scrambler 400 XC appropriate for newer and more experienced riders. Its balanced chassis gives the Scrambler a planted, agile feel, and the side-laced spoked wheels with lightweight Excel aluminum rims add both classic Scrambler style and extra toughness for off-pavement riding. Metzeler Karoo Street tubeless tires provide solid grip in wet and dry conditions, while the 43mm upside-down front forks smooth out rough surfaces with controlled damping. In the rear, a preload-adjustable monoshock with a piggy-back reservoir helps keep the ride comfortable and responsive across changing terrain, making the Scrambler 400 XC feel versatile, stable, and ready for everyday rides or weekend adventures.

The Scrambler 400 XC looks every bit as capable as it feels! Its upright stance, clean lines, and tough detailing give it a confident presence, while familiar Triumph touches keep the look timeless. The engine is a visual highlight, with machined cooling fins, blacked-out casings, and signature badging sitting neatly in a traditional cradle frame. A sculpted fuel tank with deep knee cutouts adds to the authentic Scrambler feel, and the twin-pipe muffler defines the bike's profile while delivering that unmistakable exhaust sound. The slim two-piece seat is simple and comfortable for longer rides, and details like the high-mounted, color-matched fender and flyscreen add both protection and a bit of attitude.
