Dispatch to dealers have now started, with deliveries to start by month end.[embedded content]Triumph Speed 400 Dispatch to dealer startsConceived and designed in Hinckley, UK, Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X aim to take competition right to Royal Enfield’s 350 cc motorcycles. They will also compete with the Harley Davidson X440, BMW G310 range, KTM motorcycles as well as the upcoming RE Himalayan 450.New Triumph duo boast of advanced features with better rider focused technologies. The Speed 400 receives two tone colour schemes in Carnival Red, Caspian Blue and Phantom Black colours while the Scrambler 400X gets ‘Scrambler’ tank stripe and triangle badge, and colour options of Matt Khaki Green and Fusion White, Carnival Red and Phantom Black, plus Phantom Black and Silver Ice.Triumph Speed 400The new Speed 400 sports a rounded headlamp, semi digital instrument cluster, stepped up seat and curved fuel tank with knee indents. It also gets a low slung exhaust, ride by wire throttle, switchable traction control system and a large analogue speedometer and LCD screen that shows off tachometer, fuel range and gear indicator. It also gets Bosch dual channel ABS and an anti-theft immobilizer as a part of its safety equipment. The transponder chip integrated into the ignition key ensures only the owner can start the engine.Triumph Speed 400 – Engine, Suspension and BrakingTriumph Speed 400 and the Scrambler 400X draw their power via the same 398cc liquid cooled, 4 valve, DOHC single cylinder engine that offers 40 hp power at 8,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm torque at 6,500 rpm mated to a 6 speed gearbox. Speed 400 gets 17 inch alloy wheels, suspension is via 140mm front and 130 mm rear and 300mm front disc brakes. Seat height is at 790 mm and kerb weight at 170 kgs.The Scrambler 400X on the other hand receives a longer wheelbase and more upright ergonomics. It rides on 19 inch front and 17 inch rear alloy wheels. Its seat height is at 835 mm while kerb weight is at 179 kgs. It gets 150cc suspension at the front and rear and 320 mm front disc brakes.While the bikes can be further accessories via a total of 25 genuine accessories, the company is also offering a 16,000 km service interval with 2 years of unlimited mileage warranty along with extended warranty for another 3 years. Bajaj has claimed that maintenance of these new Triumph motorcycles will be less than that of Royal Enfield 350 over a period of 3 years. More

Triumph Speed 400 maintenance and engine service intervalWhen compared to Royal Enfield, Triumph Speed 400 maintenance promises to be lower – less frequent services as wellBajaj-Triumph duo has launched their first motorcycle, Speed 400 in India. Since this duo announced pricing of Rs. 2.33 lakh (ex-sh), Speed 400 has garnered much interest. It offers twice as much power and a plethora of features and equipment more than Royal Enfield’s J-Series 350cc lineup. All this when it costs only Rs. 8,000 more than the most expensive 350cc RE.So what is the catch? Is the service / spares going to be expensive? Well in that case too Bajaj says the Triumph 400 will beat Royal Enfield. Bajaj-Triumph is claiming 10,000 miles service interval. Which translates to 16,093 km mileage within the life of the oil span. If one’s mileage is not 16,000 km a year, recommended oil change is once a year. Whichever is early. Triumph India is offering a 2 year or unlimited kilometer mileage warranty as well.New Triumph Speed 400Triumph Speed 400 Service and MaintenanceNot just that, Triumph even announced that Speed 400 maintenance will cost less than Royal Enfield’s. This is even more of a shocker as premium brands usually have higher service costs associated with it. Triumph seems to be charging according to the vehicle’s segment and not the brand.With its 350cc lineup, Royal Enfield offers a 10,000 km service interval for oil change and a 5,000 km service interval for trivial stuff like lubing and general checkups. Or once a year, whichever is early. For every 10,000 km service, Royal Enfield will charge roughly between Rs. 2,000 and Rs. 2,700 depending on motorcycle. Oil quantity is around 2.5L.New Triumph Speed 400How is Triumph doing this?The 10,000 mile service interval is in line with Triumph’s global portfolio. But India sustains higher temperatures and is generally a lot dusty than Triumph’s home turf, UK. That said, this product is co-developed by Bajaj, an Indian manufacturer. So, there should be logical reasoning behind this 16,093 km service interval.Company didn’t specify how much oil Speed 400 takes and oil’s config. But Bajaj-Triumph mentions that they have worked with certain oil manufacturers to facilitate this high service interval. Speed 400’s closest big bike from Triumph is Speed 900 and it boasts 16,093 km service interval too. But with around 3.3L to 3.5L oil.KTM’s 390 range is comparable to Speed 400 in terms of displacement, size, compression ratio, performance and other attributes. 390 range takes just 1.6L of oil and can travel 7,500 km before an oil change. General thumb rule is that more oil will take the vehicle longer before an oil change.A low-compression engine like the 3.0L Dicor from Tata Motors can go 25,000 km on an oil change. But it takes 6L of oil. So, it is likely that Triumph 400 is using more oil (probably fully synthetic) than other motorcycles in the segment, to achieve this incredible 16,093 km service interval. All the while, promising less service cost than Royal Enfield 350cc rival over a period of 3 years. More

Bajaj Triumph Tiger 400 RenderWhile based on the same platform as Speed 400 / Scrambler 400X, Triumph Tiger 400 borrows its design from the larger-capacity Tiger ADV bikesTriumph’s experiment with single-cylinder Speed 400 / Scrambler 400X has proved to be hugely successful. More than 10K bookings were received in just 10 days. The scrambler version will be available from October 2023.With market response exceeding expectations, it won’t be surprising to see new models being launched based on the 400cc platform. An ADV version seems relevant, as this segment has been registering strong growth in recent times. To get a feel of the ADV version, automotive artist Susobhan Maity has come up with a digital render of Tiger 400.Triumph Tiger 400 renderWhile Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X have already charmed enthusiasts with their classic design, Triumph Tiger 400 seems to have a more magnetic persona. With its ADV bearings, the bike also seems more powerful. A number of features have been borrowed from larger capacity ADV bikes such as Tiger 900 Rally. It includes the sharp LED headlamp, large visor, signature front beak, hand guards and sculpted fuel tank.Triumph Tiger 400 has a split-seat design with a heavily scooped rider section. This lowers centre of gravity, allowing improved control and handling across on-road and off-road tracks. Some features have been lifted directly from Scrambler 400X. It includes the twin-barrel exhaust tips and spoke-styled alloy wheels. Just like the 400cc modern classics, Triumph Tiger 400 has USD forks at front in golden finish. It gets dual-purpose tyres, similar to the scrambler version.Triumph Speed 400Another key highlight is the grayscale colour theme used for the render. It helps highlight the sharp design and finer details of the bike. However, it isn’t that hard to imagine that this render can easily support more exciting shades. Graphics are intelligently placed to enhance the bike’s visual appeal.Triumph Tiger 400 performanceMuch of the hardware for Tiger 400 is the same as that of Speed 400 / Scrambler 400X. Powering the bike is a 398.15 cc, liquid cooled, single-cylinder engine. It generates 40 PS of max power and 37.5 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.Triumph Tiger 400 utilizes a tubular steel frame with a bolt-on rear subframe. The 43mm USD forks at front offer 150 mm of wheel travel. At rear, the bike has a gas monoshock RSU with external reservoir and preload adjustment. Wheel travel is 150 mm. Braking duties are performed by 320 mm and 230 mm disc brakes at front and rear, respectively. Dual-channel ABS is offered as standard.While Triumph Tiger 400 render looks promising, it is not certain if it will become a reality one day. Assuming it does, Triumph Tiger 400 will rival the likes of KTM 390 Adventure and BMW G310GS. Meanwhile, workshops can certainly take this render as an inspiration and come up with a customized version of Triumph Tiger 400.Source More

New Triumph 400As opposed to the previous alleged on-road price of Rs. 3.39 lakh, Triumph Speed 400 prices will be between Rs. 2.68 lakh to Rs. 2.87 lakh on roadWith Royal Enfield as the target, Triumph launched its newest motorcycle, Speed 400, at an attractive price point of Rs. 2.33 lakh (ex-sh). The new motorcycle is a result of Bajaj-Triumph strategic partnership. Thanks to this, Triumph now has opened a brand new portal for a new range of audiences.Though the ex-sh launch price was attractive, a dealer shared on-road price to be at 3.39 lakh. This included multiple added charges which should not have been there in the first place. The photo of that on-road price went viral on social media. Triumph India was quick to intervene and announced that on-road prices will be out later in the month.Triumph Speed 400 on road pricesTriumph Speed 400 Prices On-RoadFirst set of on-road prices are out and they don’t include all the hidden charges that plagued the viral alleged on-road pricing as before. Hidden charges were in the form of Rs. 17,000 delivery charges and Rs. 8,500 Intro Kit. Those seem to have gone away with the new set of on-road prices.Also, the previous pricing mentioned Rs. 46,553 as on-road prices which was supposed to be from Karnataka state. Rs. 46,553 is around 20% of Rs. 2,33,000 ex-sh price, which is slightly off as Karnataka residents pay a tax of 18% for motorcycles costing above Rs. 50,000 ex-sh. Which is every other motorcycle from Hero HF Deluxe to BMW M 1000 RR.Earlier on-road prices shared by dealer. These are no longer valid.Triumph Speed 400 on-road prices don’t seem to have delivery charges and any Intro kit from Triumph dealers. According to dealers, Triumph Speed 400 costs Rs. 2.68 lakh in Delhi, Rs. 2.87 lakh in Goa, Telangana State, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra (all prices on-road).How to calculate on-road pricesRTO taxes vary from state to state. For example, Delhi charges RTO taxes based on engine displacement. Motorcycles with over 50cc engines pay Rs. 1,220 per annum as tax for 15 years, upfront. Karnataka charges based on price segments. Chandigarh excludes GST while calculating RTO taxes.Also, the on-road prices that we see online on various portals are never pin-point accurate no matter the claims. Those prices include insurance from dealers. But customers can choose insurance of their choice and doesn’t necessarily have to be from the showroom. So, because they don’t have control over customer choices, online on-road prices are always iffy.Contacting the nearest showroom and your preferred insurance company will yield the most precise on-road price analysis. There is no mention of whether these prices include RSA (Roadside Assistance) or not. Which in almost all cases, will be optional. More

Image for reference onlyDevelopment of a new 250cc platform – Triumph Scrambler 250 and Roadster 250 names on official websiteSince the launch of Speed 400 at a disruptive price of Rs. 2.23 lakh (ex-sh, introductory), Triumph-Bajaj duo has created quite a buzz in Indian motorcycling world. Speed 400 comes close to Royal Enfield Classic 350 pricing while offering a lot more tech, power, torque and just more of everything.But Hunter 350 Retro still starts at Rs. 1.5 lakh (ex-sh) price point. It is currently Rs. 83,000 less expensive than Speed 400. But what if Triumph is developing a new product to target this price point as well? Say hello to Triumph Roadster 250 and Scrambler 250.Triumph’s Tiny Titans: The 250cc Wonder DuoThe British brand’s official website has revealed possible names of two of its new motorcycles. Automotive enthusiast Abhishek shared with us a screenshot/snippet from Triumph’s official website. In the image, we can see Triumph Trident, the company’s most affordable three-cylinder motorcycle and Scrambler 400 which is set to launch later this year.And lo and behold, listed below is Triumph Roadster 250 and Triumph Scrambler 250. These motorcycles pique ones interest, and indicate the company is working on a 250cc motorcycle platform. We can also see Roadster 400, which is highly likely to be Speed 400. The info can be found in the ‘choose model’ option in Triumph’s official contact form.Triumph Scrambler 250 and Roadster 250What to Expect from Triumph Scrambler 250 and Roadster 250 – A Blend of Style and AgilityNew 250cc engine is highly likely to be a single-cylinder unit that will generate slightly less power and torque than its bigger brother Speed 400. About 30 bhp of power and 25 Nm of torque is most probable. Triumph Roadster 250 could take the name Speed 250 and Scrambler 250 should remain as is.Styling and componentry will be similar to their respective bigger siblings. Just like its bigger sibling, we can expect a DOHC setup along with 4 valves per cylinder and liquid-cooling setup. Slipper clutch and ride-by-wire could be in the mix as well. A 6-speed gearbox is highly probable too and we can expect it to weigh around 160 kg.Offering the same chassis, body panels and other hardware makes a lot of sense to keep the costs in check. Equipment like 43 mm USD telescopic front forks could make way to RSU telescopic units. LED lighting all around, 140-section rear tyre, and a semi-digital instrument cluster can be on offer with Triumph Scrambler 250 and Roadster 250.A price point of around 1.7 lakh could be logical which will keep Royal Enfield’s less expensive models in check along with Honda CB350 and Jawa motorcycles. Triumph hasn’t revealed a launch timeline. But 2024 could be when these motorcycles will see the light of day. More

Triumph Speed 400 PriceIn this space of premium single-cylinder machines within Rs. 2.2 – 2.4 lakh (ex-sh), legacy brands like Yamaha and Suzuki are surprisingly absentTriumph Speed 400 is launched in India for an introductory price of Rs. 2.23 lakh (ex-sh). The pricing strategy has created quite a stir in the Indian motorcycle segment. The motorcycle has garnered 10,000 bookings in 10 days and introductory pricing is not valid anymore. The price now stands at Rs. 2.33 lakh (ex-sh). At this price range, it clashes with a lot of motorcycles across various brands.But all fingers point towards Royal Enfield’s lion’s share in the 350cc space. So, what are the options (irrespective of body styles) for a prospective buyer that is considering a Triumph Speed 400 at Rs. 2.2 to 2.4 lakh (ex-sh, Delhi)? Let’s take a look.1. Royal Enfield Meteor 350 – Up to Rs. 2.25 lakhImage – Being TechnozzRoyal Enfield has a slew of 350cc motorcycles and Meteor 350 is their flagship. It has the same J-series 349cc SOHC, 2V, air-cooled engine as others that makes 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm and weighs 191 kg. A tripper screen with top-trims with Bluetooth and navigation along with Royal Enfield’s legacy badging are its biggest strengths.2. Bajaj Dominar 400 – Rs. 2.29 lakhImage – Shahrukh AkhtarThis is the original VFM motorcycle that redefined performance on a budget. Despite its unmatched performance, equipment, features and engineering prowess, Bajaj Dominar didn’t create enough dent in Royal Enfield’s armour. It has a KTM-sourced 373cc DOHC, 4V, liquid-cooled engine making 39.42 bhp and 35 Nm of torque and weighs a hefty 193 kg.3. Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 – Up to Rs. 2.28 lakhRE Himalayan New ColoursThere is a Scram 411, Himalayan’s platform partner that surprisingly costs less than Meteor 350. Both 411s have a SOHC, 2V, air-cooled 411cc engine with 24.3 bhp and 32 Nm and weighs 199 kg. It is the only off-roader in this comparo. If that is your jam and you want one with comparable performance as Speed 400, the upcoming Himalayan 450cc would be worth the wait.4. Honda CB300F – Up to Rs. 2.29 lakhHonda CB300FThis is one of the less spoken-about Honda motorcycles. It has a lot of good bits like a 293.52cc SOHC, 2V, oil-cooled engine with 24.13 bhp and 25.6 Nm. It weighs just 153 kg, which is the lightest in this list. If an easy-to-use lightweight bike is your jam, this is it, within the Rs. 2.2 – 2.4 lakh (ex-sh) budget.5. Benelli Imperiale 400 – Rs. 2.35 lakhBenelli Imperiale 400If being old-school and packing the biggest motorcycle (literally) is your preference, then Benelli Imperiale 400 makes a lot of sense. There is a 374cc SOHC, air-cooled, 4V engine that generates 20.7 bhp of power and 29 Nm of torque. Weight is the highest at 205 kg.6. KTM 250 Duke – Rs. 2.38 lakhYes. KTM 250 Duke costs more than Dominar 400 owing to its componentry, hardware and KTM brand value. It packs a 248cc DOHC, 4V, liquid-cooled engine generating 29.6 bhp and 24 Nm of torque. It weighs slightly less than Triumph Speed 400 at 170 kg.7. Harley-Davidson X440 – Up to Rs. 2.69 lakhNew Harley Davidson X440Even though Harley-Davidson X440 starts from Rs. 2.29 lakh (ex-sh), pricing goes till 2.69 lakh (ex-sh) for top-spec S trim. It packs the highest engine displacement in this comparo at 440cc. This is a DOHC engine with a 2V head and oil-cooling generating 27 bhp and 38 Nm. It weighs a lot more than Speed 400 at 190.5 kg.Triumph Speed 400 – Rs. 2.33 lakhTriumph Speed 400Coming to the bike of the hour, Triumph Speed 400 is by far the most bang for the buck. It packs a 398cc DOHC, 4V, liquid-cooled engine with 39.5 bhp of power and 37.5 Nm of torque. It even packs a slipper clutch and ride-by-wire as well. Most of the hardware and features are best-in-segment and it weighs 176 kg. Will it be the new go-to bike in the segment? Only time will tell. More
