The Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X, the first models under the Triumph-Bajaj partnership, were recently unveiled worldwide and have now made their debut in India at an event in Pune. The Speed 400 is already available for purchase at a price of Rs 2.33 lakh (ex-showroom), while the prices of the Scrambler 400 X will be announced in October 2023. It’s worth noting that the first 10,000 buyers of the Speed 400 will enjoy the aforementioned price.
What’s particularly interesting is that the new Triumph Speed 400 is priced lower than most of its competitors, including the BMW G 310R (Rs 2.85 lakh), KTM 390 Duke (Rs 2.97 lakh), and Royal Enfield Classic 350 (Rs 1.93 lakh – Rs 2.25 lakh). It is only around Rs 2,000 more expensive than the top-end variant of the Classic 350. Triumph is offering a 2-year/unlimited mileage warranty for the bike along with a 16,000km service interval.
Let’s delve into the key details of the new Triumph 400cc bike. The Speed 400 is equipped with a 398cc, single-cylinder TR-Series engine mated to a 6-speed gearbox. This engine generates a maximum power of 40bhp at 8,000rpm and 37.5Nm of torque at 6,500rpm. The same engine is also used in the Triumph Scrambler 400 X.
The Speed 400 features 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with MRF Steel Brace tires. It comes with 140mm front suspension, 130mm rear suspension, a 300mm front disc brake, and dual-channel ABS. The bike has a seat height of 790mm and a curb weight of 170kg.
The new Triumph 400cc bike is loaded with various features, including a semi-digital instrument cluster, a USB Type-C charging port, traction control, optional heated grips, a gear position indicator, and all-LED lighting. Some design highlights of the bike include round headlamps, round bar-end mirrors, golden USD front forks, and a twin-tip exhaust.
