Triumph Speed 400: In-depth Details & Its Rivals

The Triumph Speed 400 and its sibling, the Scrambler 400 X, are powered by a liquid-cooled, 398cc, single-cylinder TR-series engine. This new motor delivers 40hp at 8,000rpm and 37.5Nm at 6,500rpm. Its impressive figures are comparable to its competitor, the KTM 390, which is also manufactured in India by Bajaj.

Equipped features include:

• A 6-speed gearbox
• LED illumination
• Traction control
• ABS
• Available in multiple colours

Design & Aesthetics

The design of the new Triumph 400 series takes inspiration from the brand's larger models. Both bikes sport a digi-analogue display and can be equipped with heated grips - a rare feature in this category. The Speed 400 features 17-inch alloy rims with MRF Steel Brace rubber. Some models have also been seen with Apollo Alpha H1 rubber.

Competitive Pricing

Triumph has priced the Speed 400 at an affordable Rs 2.33 lakh. This makes the bike a highly competitive option when compared to its rivals like the KTM 390 Duke (Rs 2.97 lakh), BMW G 310 R (Rs 2.85 lakh), and RE Interceptor 650 (Rs 3.03 lakh - Rs 3.31 lakh).

The first 10,000 bookings will get the bike at a special price of Rs 2.23 lakh, a minor increase of just Rs 2,000 from the top-spec Classic 350.

Warranty & Availability

Both bikes come with a 2-year/unlimited mileage warranty and a 16,000 km service interval. The Speed 400 will be available from late July onwards, and the Scrambler 400 X will follow in October.

Conclusion

The Triumph Speed 400 is an excellent choice for bike enthusiasts seeking a powerful, affordable bike with a brand's assurance and excellent features. Its competitive pricing, coupled with Triumph's reputation for quality and performance, makes the Speed 400 an exciting addition to the Indian motorcycle market.
