    Triumph Scrambler T4 Spied Testing? Stripped Down Variant Launch Soon?

    Triumph Scrambler T4 Spied : Image – onlinetech918Due to a lower state of tune and less premium components, Triumph Scrambler T4 could be a more affordable variant of Scrambler 400X
    With a strategic partnership with Bajaj Auto, Triumph Motorcycles has successfully established a much more affordable 400cc portfolio. With the strength of this potent 400cc platform, Triumph has entered new price brackets and gained a much more wider audience base than before. It could be a perfect rival to upcoming Royal Enfield Scram 440 and Hero Mavrick Scrambler 440.
    However, India is a price-sensitive market and favours affordable offerings. Realising this need, Triumph recently launched Speed T4, a more affordable variant of Speed 400 with a less powerful tune and inexpensive components. The company might be doing something similar Scrambler 400X as suggested by the recent test mules. Let’s take a look.
    Triumph Scrambler T4 Spied
    Because Triumph called the more affordable variant of Speed 400 as Speed T4, there is a good probability of them naming the affordable variant of Scrambler 400X as Scrambler T4. As seen in the video by onlinetech918, we can see what looks like a more affordable variant of Scrambler 400X under testing.
    There seems to be emission testing equipment on this particular test mule, as suggested by the sensors on exhaust bend pipe. This sensor is connected to a testing setup of some sort. Because there is emission testing, the fingers point towards the possibility of this carrying a different tune or some physical changes in the powertrain.
    [embedded content]
    These changes could be similar to what we saw with Speed T4. Triumph has a unique character with T4 by replacing electronic throttle control system with a manual one and offering a lower state of tune – 30.6 bhp of peak power at 7,000 RPM and 36 Nm of peak torque at 5,000 RPM. Gearbox remains the same 6-speed unit.
    We can expect something similar with upcoming Triumph Scrambler T4. With Speed T4, Triumph also offered less premium components. As seen in the spy shots of Scrambler T4, we can see something similar. While USD front forks from Scrambler 400X are retained, they don’t have the Gold shade. Other components are less premium.
    For example, seat is now a simpler single-piece unit as opposed to 400X’s fancier split seat setup. Rear tail light is different and grab rail looks cheaper too. The rubber pads on fuel tank are now gone and handlebar is a simpler unit now without any brace pads. Knuckle guards seems to have vanished and there might be other changes.

    What could be the price?
    Headlights and front mudguard looks similar and instrument cluster is the same semi-digital unit as seen on other 400cc Triumphs. Alloy wheel design on Triumph Scrambler T4 look different and they may be wrapped with skinnier tyres. Considering the product looks almost production-ready, launch could happen soon. Pricing might be around Rs 2.4 lakh mark (Ex-sh), which is around Rs 25,000 less than Scrambler 400X’s Rs 2.65 lakh (Ex-sh) price. More

    2025 Triumph Tiger 400 ADV Render – Himalayan 450, 390 Adventure Rival

    2025 Triumph Tiger 400 ADV RenderIf launched, Triumph Tiger 400 ADV will take on reigning champion, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, along with KTM 390 Adventure
    The Bajaj-Triumph duo has been actively pursuing the premium 300cc to 500cc single cylinder motorcycle segment. ADV genre has emerged as an important one, with Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, captivating this market completely. What if the Bajaj-Triumph duo came up with a fitting rival based on the Speed 400 platform? We bring you a render of what it could look like.
    Triumph Tiger 400 ADV Rendered
    While Triumph has Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, there is no ADV-style motorcycle based on this platform. That is where this Triumph Tiger 400 ADV render created by Pratyush Rout comes into the light. Considering how popular the ADV and ADV-style motorcycle genre is becoming, launching one in India would prove to be a good bet for the Indian market.
    2025 Triumph Tiger 400 ADV Render
    Our render consists of a stylish ADV motorcycle. This is something that can’t be said about typical ADVs sold in the segment. The main design inspiration for this render came from Triumph’s approach towards the Tiger Sport 660 based on the Trident 660 naked motorcycle. Obvious rivals include Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure.
    We took the Triumph Tiger Sport 660 design DNA and fused it with Triumph’s 400 platform. Going by Triumph’s design choices with Tiger Sport 660, our Tiger 400 render also gets a unique headlight, and tank design along with a rear subframe, when compared to a Speed 400.
    2025 Triumph Tiger 400 ADV Render
    There is a semi-fairing on offer, that should significantly increase touring capabilities of Tiger Sport 400 render. The headlights and LED DRL signature are inspired by bigger Tiger motorcycles. Unlike the Tiger Sport 660, our Tiger 400 ADV render gets a front beak, which is a defining design trait of this segment.
    2025 Triumph Tiger 400 ADV Render
    Other notable attributes of this render include a tall functional windscreen, aggressive tank shrouds, a sportier lifted rear subframe that should allow comfortable ergonomics for pillion, round ORVMs and knuckle guards among others. There are interesting decals on side body panels and fuel tank, which should appeal to young buyers.
    Will it launch?
    We can’t say for sure that Triumph will launch an ADV-style motorcycle. Bajaj recently launched Speed T4, a more affordable version with missing features and less power. They are also testing new motorcycles based on the 400cc platform. While one is Thruxton 400, which is already spied testing, there is a good chance we could get the likes of Speedmaster 400 cruiser, Tiger 400 ADV, Daytona 400 fully-faired machine in the future..
    Our render is not only appealing, but it is feasible too. The componentry is retained from Scrambler 400X, with the same exhaust setup too. There are USD telescopic front forks, rear mono-shock setup, alloy wheels with block-pattern tyres, single disc brake setup at either ends and the likes. Powertrain is the same 398.15cc single-cylinder DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine with 39.5 bhp of peak power and 37.5 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. There can be a more off-road version of this motorcycle with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels and adjustable long travel suspension. More

    Triumph Speed T4 Vs Speed 400 – Specs, Features, Pricing Compared

    Triumph Speed T4 Vs Speed 400 MY25With a more affordable version of Triumph Speed range, Speed T4, helps the brand better rival segment leader Royal Enfield Classic 350
    The iconic motorcycle manufacturing brand, Triumph Motorcycles, has been actively widening the horizon of its affordable lineup. Just recently, Triumph launched its most affordable offering yet, in the form of Speed T4. Bajaj-Triumph duo has been sharpening its product offensive against Royal Enfield for some time.
    Updated MY25 Speed 400 will rival the Guerrilla 450, Speed T4 will rival the just updated Royal Enfield Classic 350. While the obvious rival is Classic 350, there are many changes in Speed T4 when compared to MY25 Speed 400. Let’s look at everything new and different with Speed T4 compared to the updated MY25 Speed 400.
    Triumph Speed T4 Vs Speed 400 MY25
    Triumph Speed T4 Vs Speed 400
    There are major changes in the powertrain and exhaust to set up a unique new motorcycle with Speed T4 from a Speed 400. For starters, both Triumph Speed T4 and Speed 400 share the same basic powertrain. In this sense, they both get the same 398cc DOHC 4V single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine.
    However, Triumph has worked on this 400cc engine to carve out two different flavours. On Speed T4, Triumph has replaced the electronic throttle control system of Speed 400 with a manual one. Speed T4 also comes with a lower state of tune generating 30.6 bhp of peak power at 7,000 RPM and 36 Nm of peak torque at 5,000 RPM.
    Triumph Speed T4
    MY25 Speed 400 continues with the previous tune of 40 bhp at 8,000 RPM and 37.5 Nm at 6,500 RPM. Both vehicles get a 6-speed gearbox, but the final drive of Speed T4 gets a O Ring chain, while Speed 400 gets an X Ring chain. Triumph has also reworked on Speed T4’s exhaust note to make it more bassy.
    Other than powertrain changes, there are changes in dimensions and componentry as well. Starting with dimensions, Speed T4 is slightly wider with handlebars at 827 mm and taller without ORVMs at 1098 mm as opposed to 814 mm and 1084 mm of Speed 400, respectively. Speed T4 also has a taller seat height of 806 mm and weighs 180 kg, 4 kg heavier than Speed 400.
    Triumph MY25 Speed 400
    Where componentry is concerned, the main noticeable difference is that Triumph Speed T4 gets 43mm RSU telescopic front forks, as opposed to the 43mm USD forks in gold finish on Speed 400. Another notable difference is that Speed T4 gets narrower 140-section tyres, while Speed 400 retains fatter and more premium 150-section tyres.
    Different riding characteristics
    With MY25 Speed 400, Triumph is offering adjustable levers, which are absent on Speed T4. Conversely, Speed T4 gets a bassier exhaust that Speed 400 misses out on. Other features and lighting setups are shared between both bikes. With Speed T4, one can expect relaxed riding characteristics, while Speed 400 continues to be high-strung, where performance is concerned. More

    Triumph Speed T4 And MY25 Speed 400 Launched – Starts From Rs 2.17L

    Triumph Speed T4 and MY25 Speed 400With Triumph Speed T4, rivalry against products like Royal Enfield Classic 350, Honda CB300R, Yezdi Roadster and others is intensified
    Competition in the premium single-cylinder motorcycle space has increased quite a bit. Triumph-Bajaj duo is competing at the highest level and have just launched the new Triumph Speed T4 and MY25 Speed 400. With these launches, Triumph’s base 400cc motorcycle is now priced at Rs 2.17 lakh (Ex-sh).
    Triumph Speed T4 And MY25 Speed 400
    The rumours suggesting Triumph-Bajaj duo will launch two new Triumph motorcycles in India turned out to be true and we get the new Speed T4 and MY 25 Speed 400. Speculations suggested the launch of Triumph’s upcoming Thruxton 400, but that seems to be way in the future.
    Triumph Speed T4
    Starting with Triumph Speed T4, this is now the new base model in the company’s 400cc lineup. Starting from Rs 2.17 lakh (Ex-sh), it is the entry-point into Triumph’s ecosystem. While MY25 Speed 400 looks like an update to current Speed 400, Speed T4 sounds like an all-new motorcycle.
    Triumph is carving out a new base variant by reducing the performance for a relaxed character. This looks like it is a direct dig at Royal Enfield Classic 350 as it is renowned for its relaxed riding character. Performance metrics include 31 PS of peak power at 7,000 RPM and 36 Nm of peak torque at 5,000 RPM from the same 398cc TR series engine as Speed 400.
    Triumph Speed T4
    Mid-range has been vastly improved with 30% increase in inertia and there is a manual throttle body as well. Elements like slipper clutch, 43mm RSU telescopic front forks, dual-channel ABS, USB port are notable. Triumph Speed T4 gets three colours – Pearl Metallic White, Cocktail Wine Red & Phantom Black.
    Triumph MY25 Speed 400 is an update to current model and retains its edgy performance characteristics. The main highlights of MY25 update include higher-profile tyres and enhanced seating comfort. There are adjustable levers too, for rider convenience. It is priced at Rs 2.4 lakh (Ex-sh) and comes with 4 colours – Racing Yellow, Pearl Metallic White, Racing Red & Phantom Black.
    Triumph MY25 Speed 400
    Statement from Bajaj-Triumph
    Rakesh Sharma, Executive Director of Bajaj Auto Ltd., commented, “With the launch of the Speed T4 and MY25 Speed 400, we continue our commitment to expanding Triumph’s range in India. These models blend heritage with innovation, offering both relaxed and performance-oriented riders something special.
    The Triumph and Bajaj Alliance has put out almost 60,000 bikes of the TR series to over 50 countries including India. We are delighted with the customer acceptance and the widening base of the franchise. This motivates us to keep pushing the boundaries together and build the modern classic segment for a larger audience.”

    New Triumph 400cc Bike Teased – Based On Speed 400, Launch On 17th Sep

    New Triumph 400cc Bike TeasedSlated to launch on September 17th, new Triumph 400cc bike will rival Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, Harley X440 and the likes
    The strategic partnership between Bajaj Auto and Triumph Motorcycles has been fruitful for both brands. While step 1 was to introduce an affordable duo of 400cc motorcycles with competitive prices for Triumph brand, step 2 was to expand the lineup. In this regard, Bajaj and Triumph will launch a new 400cc motorcycle based on Speed 400 on September 17th.
    New Triumph 400cc Bike Teased
    Following the recent rumours and speculations, Bajaj Triumph duo is set to launch two new motorcycles based on the 400 platform. These motorcycles will be manufactured by Bajaj Auto in India and will be positioned as an entry portal into (in terms of price) the Triumph ecosystem of premium motorcycles.
    Now, Triumph has just announced this upcoming motorcycle for the very first time. As seen in the image, the company is set to launch another modern classic motorcycle. The image is dark and does not disclose a lot of information. The fuel tank looks almost identical to that of Speed 400’s.
    Not just that, it even dons the same Carnival Red / Phantom Black colourway as Speed 400 as well. Looking at this fuel tank, we can strike out the possibility of it being a Thruxton 400, which has been spied testing overseas. Thruxton 400 comes with a bikini fairing lending a stylish cafe racer appeal.
    New Triumph Thruxton 400 Render
    We don’t see this fairing on the motorcycle that is set to launch (or unveil) in India on 17th September 2024. Hence, the identity of this upcoming motorcycle is still mysterious, but is highly unlikely to be Thruxton 400. With limited information gained from the recent teaser, possibilities might be endless.
    Is it an affordable Speed 400?
    With Royal Enfield dominating the premium 300cc to 500cc single-cylinder motorcycle segment, Triumph might be coming up with an affordable variant. The company is offering discounts of up to Rs 10K more frequently. With the launch of Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, Bajaj Triumph might launch a more affordable version of Speed 400.
    In the teaser, we can see bar-end mirrors, which are not likely to be standard equipment. Similar to Speed 400 launched last year. There might be a few features removed when compared to Speed 400. Conversely speaking, this could be a sportier accessorised variant of Speed 400 as well.
    New Triumph 400cc Bike Teased
    Either way, this new Triumph 400cc bike will be based on the same platform as Speed 400, with almost identical features and equipment. It will retain the same 398cc single-cylinder DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine with 39.5 bhp of peak power and 37.5 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
