So how does the Royal Enfield Scrambler 450 fare as an overall package and in the value proposition vis a vis the Triumph Scrambler 400X?

The Royal Enfield Scrambler 450 and Triumph Scrambler 400X are modern reinterpretations of the classic scrambler design, targeting urban riders who fancy retro styling and occasional light off road use. The comparison between these two bikes has caused a lot of arguments between motorcycle enthusiasts in markets where both bikes are available. The debate usually centers on things like brand heritage, performance, features, build quality, and after sales support. The Triumph has the cachet of the Triumph brand, and the RE has the larger engine and (perhaps) more power. There is a very important role for price in this comparison, and it tends to leave the RE as the cheaper one. Triumph's higher price tag is weighed up by riders whether its features and brand value are worth it or if RE provides value for money. The bikes' authenticity as scramblers and actual off road capabilities are also compared.
