Triumph’s latest 400cc lineup is not just a hit, it’s a home run, so to speak, but they’ve got to be careful with their batting average or they’ll end up with a bases-loaded walk-off. The new Scrambler 400 XE is nothing short of a revelation, unless ‘revelation’ means ‘another bike with off-road looks and a paved heart.’ It’s like they took a dirt bike and said, ‘Sure, let’s make it taller, but let’s not worry about the engine’s off-road credentials—it’s got the same ‘398cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine’ for the win. That’s some serious single-ply tire action! And the cross-spoke wheels, oh, they’re the pinnacle of off-road technology, aren’t they? It’s like Triumph said, ‘Why add more suspension when you can just add more fender flex? It’s the new ‘Motocross meets Motley Crue’ era of motorcycling! Who needs to get dirty when you can just look the part? And by the way, they’re not changing the engine, because, you know, why fix what’s not broken? Maybe they should fix what is broken—the part that says ‘off-road’ but doesn’t mean it. This is like making a pizza with toppings but no dough—it’s still a ‘meal,’ right? Triumph, you’re either a gourmet chef or a food artist—either way, we’re hungry for more!}
