Triumph Scrambler 400x + Ohlins vs Stock Himalayan 450: The Truth

Описание: Testing the Öhlins STX46 upgrade on the Triumph Scrambler 400x to see if it can finally beat the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. After a year of owning both, Osmosno Moto gives the final truth on which is the better adventure bike. Can a £1,000 Öhlins STX46 shock turn the Triumph Scrambler 400x into a Himalayan 450 killer? We put this "Secret Weapon" to the test on the trails to see if elite suspension can beat the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450's DNA.

In this 18-minute deep dive, I’m joined by Trevor from Osmosno Moto, who has owned and toured both of these bikes extensively. We’re exploring the "Truth" about these two budget ADV titans. Is the 400x just a "City Scrambler," or can a suspension upgrade from the likes of Brembo-owned Öhlins make it a genuine off-road contender?

The Himalayan 450 is the reigning king of budget adventure bikes, but its height is a deal breaker for some. Meanwhile, the Triumph 400x is accessible and refined but often criticized for its "harsh" stock rear suspension. We’ve fitted the Öhlins STX 46 (TR 420) to find out if you can buy your way to the top of the class.

In this video, we cover:

The Upgrade: Why we chose the STX46 and the cost of "fixing" a budget bike.

Owner's Insight: Trevor explains why he switched from Triumph to the Himalayan 450 after 10,000km.

Trail Test: How the Öhlins handles square-edge hits vs the stock Showa setup on the RE.

Ergonomics & Luggage: Why the Himalayan wins on "out-of-the-box" utility.

The Verdict: Does the "Secret Weapon" win Dave back?
