Although the Triumph Scrambler 400X is a nearly complete package for city commutes and short rides, here are a few touring accessories for the Triumph Scrambler 400X that take it up a higher level and make it more comfortable for long-distance touring.
1. Maddog ScoutX Aux Lights
The stock LED headlight is very weak and provides very little visibility on the highways. We installed the Maddog Scout X aux lights which has a good focus as well as enough throw to light up quite a large area ahead.
There are cheaper alternatives like the HJG lights but we went for the Maddog ones as they have a warranty and better-quality wiring and switches. It costs almost 10k for the lights, clamps, switch and wiring. Now a word of caution. Get it installed by an expert and not by the guys at any accessory store to avoid any wiring issues.

2. Triumph Luggage Tail Rack
We installed the tail rack from Triumph itself as they fit perfectly and come with a 2-year warranty. It costs around 2k INR but its worth the price as the build quality is top-notch.

3. Studds Top Box
On the tail rack, we’ve installed Studds’ Vault top box. We are not big fans of those huge hard luggage cases and hence we went for the smallest one. It costs 800 INR. It fits basic necessities for city commutes like rain covers, a pair of gloves, specs, a microfibre towel and so on.

4. Triumph Lower Engine Guard
Triumph’s lower engine guards are so well built that it has survived 3 falls now. It’s very sturdy, protects the engine well, looks well in line with the rest of the frame and comes with a 2-year warranty. The only downside is that it sits close to the frame so once when the rider fell down, the bike fell on her legs and got stuck. So we had to lift the bike to get her leg out.
She escaped unhurt with only a few minor abrasions. To prevent such incidents in the future, we might uninstall this and go for the Mototorque crash guard with the slider so that the rider will have some space to pull their leg out in case of a fall.

5. MX Handguard
The stock hand guards that come with the bike are entirely plastic and don’t absorb any impact. It’s mainly installed for aesthetic purposes. During the first fall itself, it broke off and didn’t even protect the clutch lever and we had to get the lever replaced.
We got the MX hand guard installed. It’s not an easy fit and it takes a bit of struggle to get it installed but it serves the purpose well. During the second fall, this guard and protected the lever. Only the screw got bent which we got replaced by a local store. MX Handguards without DRL costs around 1500 INR.

6. Pro Taper Gear Boot
Pro Taper’s gear boot prevents marks from forming on the shoes and gives a better grip when shifting gears. It’s a simple but one of the best touring accessories for the Triumph Scrambler 400X.

7. Carbon Racing Windshield for Triumph Scrambler 400X
The Triumph Scrambler 400X hits a top speed of more than 160 kmph and cruises at 120-140 kmph. The only issue you face while cruising at such speeds is the strong wind blast due to the tall stance of the seating position. So to make it more touring-friendly, we’ve installed the Carbon Racing windshield which reduces a lot of wind blast to the chest area and some amount to the face.
Although it takes away the Scrambler look, the functionality it provides makes the Scrambler more touring-friendly. It comes in 2 tones – clear and tinted. It costs around 2600 INR. If you want additional protection, you may install a Pro spec windshield extender on top of this visor.
8. Mototorque Number Plate Holder for Triumph Scrambler 400X
The Carbon Racing windshield is attached to the stock number plate mount in the front. So we had to get the number plate holder from Mototorque to mount the number plate to a different position. Even if you don’t get the visor, I feel the number plate looks better on the front fender than how it looks on the headlight. It costs around 500 INR.

9. Zana Offset Handle Bar Risers
The stock configuration of the Triumph Scrambler 400X has a sporty stance which is good for city commutes and short rides. However, during the long hauls, we felt uncomfortable in our lower backs and shoulders as we were both short riders.
Zana’s offset handlebar riser took care of that issue. It elevates the handlebar and brings it closer to the rider for a better upright seating position more suited for the highways. The drawback is more windblast but now you know how to take care of that.

10. KTM Rear View Mirrors
The stock mirrors of the Triumph Scrambler 400X are good in terms of looks and stability but the field of view is very low. So we are planning to install the KTM 390 ADV mirrors once they come in stock at the service centre near to me. I have been using them on my Himalayan for the last 4 years and they are the best.
11. Bobo BM17H Phone Holder
My iPhone 12 mini’s optical image stabiliser got ruined by the handlebar vibrations during my trip to Rajasthan which rendered the main camera completely useless. It isn’t repairable and replacing the camera module would cost close to 15k INR.
I wasn’t aware of this issue with iPhones and motorcycle mounts and to prevent further damage, we got Bobo’s BM17H with the vibration dampener to protect the iPhone’s camera. Till now Yash’s phone hasn’t suffered any damage but I’ve heard from some users that even these holders with vibration dampeners aren’t enough to protect the OIS. So I recommend getting a normal holder like a Bobo BM4 and a secondary cheap Android phone just for navigation purposes.

12. Mototorque Brake Fluid Reservoir Guard
Mototorque’s brake fluid reservoir guard is of good quality and looks aesthetic. An oil reservoir guard is a necessity when you go trail riding to prevent any stones or sharp objects from damaging the reservoir.

13. Helmet Lock
A generic numbered helmet lock from Amazon comes in handy for short rides and city commutes.
