    Triumph Thruxton 400 Cafe Racer Testing Continues Before Launch

    Triumph Thruxton 400 Cafe Racer TestingBajaj and Triumph are stepping up their game in the premium single-cylinder motorcycle segment. After launching the Speed 400, Scrambler 400X and Speed T4, Triumph is now working on Scrambler T4 (speculated name) and a Thruxton 400 (speculated name) and the testing continues in full swing as suggested by recent spy shots.
    Thruxton 400 Cafe Racer Testing
    With the launch of Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, Triumph opened a new chapter in terms of pricing and product planning. Based on the new 400cc platform, Triumph has already launched three motorcycles and is on the verge of developing two more motorcycles. Production of these motorcycles is handled by Bajaj Auto.
    Triumph Thruxton 400 Cafe Racer Styling
    Speculated to be called Thruxton 400, Triumph’s latest Cafe Racer motorcycle brings style and substance to this segment. There is a possibility of this being called Speed 400 RR, building on the popularity of Speed 400. This motorcycle has been spied globally multiple times and is the 2nd recorded instance of testing in India.
    As seen in the video by The Fat Biker, Triumph Thruxton 400 is a Cafe Racer style motorcycle with a striking semi fairing setup. Other Cafe Racer cues like low-set clip-on handlebars and bar-end mirrors are present. Other than that, we have retro design cues like circular headlight, circular ORVMs, an analogue tachometer and more.

    Interestingly, there seems to be an X insignia LED signature in the headlights. Along with that, we have LED tail lights and turn indicators, black USD telescopic front forks and a single seat setup with a single-piece rear grab rail. Rider’s triangle looks slightly more committed than Speed 400 owing to the low-set clip-on handlebars.
    What to expect?
    Triumph Thruxton 400 is probably rocking the same main frame, sub frame and swingarm as Speed 400. Suspension components include USD front forks and a rear mono-shock, while braking is handled by single discs at both ends with dual channel ABS. Tyres are likely to be slightly fatter than the 150-section rear tyre on Speed 400. Royal Enfield Guerrilla does offer 160-section tyres, if you’re wondering.

    These spy shots from The Fat Biker suggest that Triumph Thruxton 400 Cafe Racer will get the same semi-digital instrument cluster as Speed 400. Where powertrains are concerned, it will be powered by the same 398.15cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC 4V/cyl engine with around 40 bhp and 38 Nm, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. Launch is likely around festive season. More

    Triumph Scrambler 400X Cross Spoke, Thruxton 400 Spied Together

    Triumph Scrambler 400X Cross Spoke & Thruxton 400Aligning with consumer needs and preferences, Triumph continues to update its 400cc range with new features and body styles
    Following the successful market reception of the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, Triumph expanded its lineup with Speed T4 and is testing a Scrambler T4. Triumph is testing a Scrambler 400X Cross Spoke variant as seen with the new spy shots. Additionally, Triumph is working on a new cafe racer model based on the Speed 400. Speculated to be called Thruxton 400, both these vehicles have been spied together. Let’s take a look.
    Triumph Scrambler 400X Cross Spoke Wheels
    It is possible that cross-spoke wheels for Triumph Scrambler 400 X could be offered as an accessory option. It could be accessible to existing users as well, a strategy similar to Royal Enfield. Cross-spoke wheels are gaining popularity as they combine the off-road-ability of wire-spoke wheels with convenience of tubeless tyres.
    Triumph Scrambler 400X Cross Spoke
    Spoke wheels perform better on off-road tracks, while tubeless tyres reduce the risk of flats. Managing a flat can be quite stressful, especially when one is exploring remote locations. Many enthusiasts go for tubed-to-tubeless conversions, but reliability can be an issue.
    With cross-spoke wheels, Triumph has effectively addressed its customers’ pain points. Earlier, Royal Enfield had followed a similar approach for the Himalayan 450. Along with the cross-spoke wheels, Scrambler 400 X can also be seen with a front beak. Most other visual details are largely the same as the current model.

    Triumph 400 Cafe Racer – Key features
    Expanding the accessible 400cc platform for enthusiasts, Triumph is working on a new cafe racer model based on the Speed 400. Latest spy shots reveal the bike in near-production-ready form. Some of the key highlights include a bikini fairing, round headlamp and a retro curved windscreen.
    Triumph Scrambler 400X Cross Spoke
    The bike has bar-end rear-view mirrors, clip-on handlebars, a sculpted fuel tank and a single-piece seat. Tail section design appears distinctive in comparison to that of Speed 400. Riding stance of Triumph’s new 400cc bike has a mix of traditional cafe-racer ergonomics and sport-touring.
    Triumph Thruxton 400
    A noticeable forward-leaning position is needed to reach the low-set clip-ons. Foot pegs are only slightly rear-set, something that balances control and comfort. These features make the cafe racer suitable for both everyday fun riding as well as longer journeys across highways.
    Triumph Thruxton 400
    Powertrain Details
    Talking about performance, both these motorcycles will be using the same 398.15 cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, single-cylinder engine. It generates 40 PS and 37.5 Nm of torque and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The bike has USD forks at front and a gas mono-shock setup at the rear. Both ends have 17-inch alloy wheels, with 300 mm front and 230 mm rear disc brakes. Dual-channel ABS will be offered as standard.
    Triumph Thruxton 400
    Similar to Speed 400, the cafe racer is likely to use an analogue speedometer with an integrated multi-function LCD screen. Upcoming Triumph cafe racer is expected to be positioned between the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X. These are priced at Rs 2.40 lakh and Rs 2.65 lakh, respectively. The most affordable Triumph one can buy in India is the Speed T4 (Rs 1.99 lakh).

    2025 Triumph Speed T4 Updated – Premium Design, New Colours

    2025 Triumph Speed T4 UpdatedWith enhanced styling and an attractive price of Rs 1.99 lakh, Triumph Speed T4 has strengthened its value proposition against rivals
    As may be recalled, Triumph recently updated the pricing of Speed T4 from Rs 2.17 lakh to Rs 1.99 lakh. And now, a range of cosmetic updates have been introduced for the most affordable Triumph bike in India. Let’s take a closer look to understand how enthusiasts stand to benefit.
    2025 Triumph Speed T4 Updated – New Colours, Design
    Users can now choose from a total of four striking colour options. These are Lava Red Gloss / Pearl Metallic White, Caspian Blue / Pearl Metallic White, Phantom Black / Storm Grey and Phantom Black / Pearl Metallic White. With the new colour options, Triumph Speed T4 can target a larger segment of users.
    2025 Triumph Speed T4 – Lava Red Gloss / Pearl Metallic White
    For all four colourways, a combo of three shades have been used. These perfectly complement the bike’s classic look and feel and enhance its retro character. In addition to the new colours, Triumph Speed T4 also gets some visual enhancements. For example, the upswept exhaust is now available in a brushed steel finish. This is applicable for all the four colour options.
    Earlier, Speed T4 was available with a blacked-out exhaust. It had heat shields in metallic finish. But now, the entire exhaust has a brushed steel finish. It enhances the bike’s premium feel and appears more neutral in comparison to the all-black finish. Another premium design update is a 3D ‘Speed T4’ emblem on the side panel. It is placed on a surface that has the same brushed metal vibes as seen on the exhaust.
    2025 Triumph Speed T4 – Caspian Blue / Pearl Metallic White
    In the earlier colourways, the entire side panel had a blacked-out finish. ‘Speed T4’ badging was available in sticker format, which had limited visual impact. Side profile has been further enhanced with updated frame colour. Triumph Speed T4 is now available with a new tyre sticker design as well.
    Specs, performance
    Mechanical parts remain unchanged for Triumph Speed T4. Key highlights of Triumph Speed T4 include a torque-assist clutch, Bosch dual-channel ABS, all-LED lighting, distinctive LED DRLs and USB charging port. The instrument cluster includes an analogue speedometer with an integrated multi-function LCD display.
    2025 Triumph Speed T4 – Phantom Black / Pearl Metallic White
    Braking setup comprises 300 mm front and 230 mm rear disc brakes. Speed T4 has standard 43mm telescopic forks at front and a monoshock rear suspension. The perimeter tubular steel frame with a bolt-on rear subframe is the same as that of Speed 400.
    Powering the bike is a 398.15 cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, single-cylinder engine that generates 31 PS and 36 Nm. This is the same engine as seen with Speed 400. But the 400 has higher numbers at 40 PS and 37.5 Nm. Speed T4 is especially designed for urban environments, offering benefits such as enhanced low-end torque, more responsive rides and smoother acceleration. However, the bike can also cruise effortlessly across highways. T4 is also preferred for its distinctive, deep exhaust note.

    Triumph Speed T4 Price Slashed To Rs 1.99 Lakh – Details

    Triumph Speed T4In addition to being the most affordable Triumph bike in India, the Speed T4 is also well-suited for local riding conditions
    Triumph’s 400 range has emerged as a popular choice, ranked 5th in the 350cc-450cc motorcycle segment. Speed T4 was launched in September last year and was intended to increase sales volumes. It competes with the likes of Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Scram 411, Honda CB350RS and Jawa 42.
    Triumph Speed T4 Price Slashed
    At the time of its launch, Triumph Speed T4 was offered at a starting price of Rs 2.17 lakh. However, a special launch discount offer of Rs 18,000 was applicable for the bike. The effective price was Rs 1.99 lakh. Since it feels a bit odd to continue a discount offer scheme forever, the price of Speed T4 has now been revised to Rs 1.99 lakh. This also helps eliminate any confusion that some customers may have about the pricing of the bike.
    Speed 400 Platform, fewer features
    Triumph Speed T4 utilizes the same platform as the Speed 400. It has a perimeter tubular steel frame with a bolt-on rear subframe. However, it misses out on multiple features such as USD forks, traction control, electronic throttle control and immobilizer. Users can access a more relaxed riding position with the Speed T4. It makes the bike more practical, considering the heavy traffic one often encounters on an everyday basis.
    Talking about performance, Speed T4 and Speed 400 have the same 398.15 cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, single-cylinder engine. However, Speed T4 generates 31 PS and 36 Nm, which is lower than 40 PS and 37.5 Nm of Speed 400. T4 has manual throttle control in comparison to electronic throttle control of Speed 400. Fuel tank capacity of 13 litres is the same for both bikes.
    Triumph Speed T4
    While 17-inch wheels are common, the tyre sizes are different. T4 has 110/70 front and 140/70 rear tyres, as compared to 110/80 / 150/70 of Speed 400. T4 comes with conventional 43mm telescopic forks with 140 mm of travel. The USD forks onboard Speed 400 have 130 mm of travel. Parts common to both bikes include mono-shock rear suspension, 300 mm front and 230 mm rear disc brakes and dual-channel ABS. Both bikes also share the analogue speedometer with an integrated multi-function LCD screen.
    Dimensional differences
    There are some dimensional differences such as seat height of 806 mm for T4 and 803 mm for Speed 400. T4 has a longer wheelbase of 1,406 mm, as compared to 1,386 mm of Speed 400. Speed T4 has a rake angle of 24.2° in comparison to 25.1° of Speed 400. That makes the T4 slightly better in terms of handling city riding conditions. It can be more agile and allow quicker steering. There is not much difference in wet weight, with T4 weighing at 180 kg in comparison to 179 kg of Speed 400.
    For budget-conscious buyers, the Triumph Speed T4 presents a compelling option. However, for those seeking superior performance and features, spending an additional Rs 40,000 on the Speed 400 doesn’t seem too difficult. More

    Triumph Speed T4 Gets Rs 18k Discount – 3 Months After Launch

    Triumph Speed T4Powertrain-wise, Triumph Speed T4 gets the same 398cc single-cylinder engine, which is down-tuned to make 30.6 bhp and 36 Nm
    The Bajaj-Triumph duo recently expanded their 400cc lineup to incorporate a new affordable variant of Speed 400. Called Speed T4, this was the most affordable Triumph motorcycle and was priced at Rs 2.17 lakh (Ex-sh). To boost sales further, Speed T4 gets an even better price, thanks to attractive year-end discounts.
    Speed T4 Year-End Discount
    With the launch of Triumph Speed T4, the company aimed to carve out a more affordable version of 400cc platform. The price started from Rs 2.17 lakh (Ex-sh) and was very close to Royal Enfield Classic 350. The company is sweetening the deal further by offering attractive year-end offers on Speed T4.
    These year-end discounts for Triumph Speed T4 started from December 14th and goes till the stocks last. Triumph is offering a discount of up to Rs 18,000 off the Ex-sh pricing, bringing the effective price to Rs 1.99 lakh (Ex-sh). This year-end discount of up to Rs 18,000 is quite attractive and is expected to nudge buyers.
    Bajaj-Triumph duo seems to have been expecting around 10,000 units per month average collective sales. Something which is yet to materialise. The company is readying a more affordable version of Scrambler 400X to boost sales further. It could be named Scrambler T4 and is a stripped-down version of Scrambler 400X.
    Triumph Scrambler T4 Spied
    Notably, Triumph is also offering free accessories worth up to Rs 12,000 with Scrambler 400X. Currently, Triumph’s 400cc lineup is the best-selling 350cc to 500cc single-cylinder motorcycle range outside of Royal Enfield’s vastly popular 350cc and 450cc lineups. Customer reception to Triumph’s strategies to boost sales will be revealed in future sales breakdowns.
    Speed T4 Vs Speed 400
    Where design is concerned, Speed T4 looks more or less the same as Speed 400, sans a few premium equipment and colourways. Both motorcycles get the same LED headlights and the characteristic fuel tank and silhouette. Even the instrument cluster is the same between both motorcycles.
    Differences lie in powertrain and componentry. Speed T4 gets a manual throttle control and the engine is tuned to develop 30.6 bhp of peak power and 36 Nm of peak torque. When compared to Speed 400’s 40 bhp and 37.5 Nm, there’s a massive difference. Speed T4 gets an ‘O’ ring final drive while Speed 400 gets ‘X’ ring.
    Triumph Speed T4
    Speed T4 gets a new exhaust system which is a lot bassier than that of Speed 400’s. Cycle parts like USD telescopic front forks are given a miss. Rear tyre is not radial type and is skinnier when compared to the one seen on Speed 400. The change in dimensions and wheelbase lends a unique character to Speed T4. More

    Recently, Triumph offered attractive year-end benefits of up to Rs 12,500 on Scrambler 400X to boost sales and footfall into the dealerships. The iconic British motorcycle manufacturer is not offering cash benefits worth Rs 12,500 on the Scrambler 400X. There is a complementary set of accessories worth Rs 12,500.
    The accessories part of this package worth Rs 12,500 includes a stylish T-shirt (official apparel merchandise), tank pads for rider grip onto the motorcycle, a luggage rack kit for utility, a high mudguard kit, a coated windscreen and lower engine bars.

    New Scrambler T4 incoming?
    There was a lot of buzz around the Bajaj-Triumph camp suggesting that the duo is keen on bringing two new motorcycles around the festive season to push monthly sales volume to 10,000 units. We saw the launch of MY24 Speed 400 and its more affordable and less performant variant, Speed T4, in India.
    In October 2024, Bajaj-Triumph duo pushed a hair above 4,000 units in sales with a 17.52% YoY growth and a 17.41% MoM growth, gaining 597 and 594 units in volume YoY and MoM respectively. Outside of Royal Enfield’s 350cc and 450cc ecosystem, Triumph’s 400cc is the best-selling lineup.
    Triumph 400X Scrambler
    As seen with recent spy shots, Bajaj-Triumph duo seems to be developing a more affordable and less performant variant of Scrambler 400X, similar to what we saw with Speed T4. It could be called Triumph Scrambler T4, when launched. There is a good probability of it boosting the sales for the brand when launched at a competitive price. More
