Triumph Speedmaster 400 render – Carnival Red/Storm GreyAs opposed to Speed 400, Triumph Speedmaster 400 render is a textbook cruiser motorcycle with all related attributes that should take on RE Meteor 350Royal Enfield has held the 300 to 500cc motorcycle segment tightly in its grasp. The slew of 350cc and 411cc motorcycles have garnered immense popularity. Where there is a champ, there are rivals. Honda is challenging Classic 350 with its CB350 Classic. But Meteor 350 doesn’t seem to have rivals. In comes our Triumph Speedmaster 400 Cruiser render.Triumph Speedmaster 400 Cruiser RenderBajaj and Triumph’s Indian innings began with development of a 400cc platform that will spawn multiple designs and styles. As of now, Bajaj-Triumph duo have launched Speed 400 (neo-retro) and Scrambler 400X (crossover ADV). Thruxton 400 based on Speed 400 was spotted testing too, signifying more products with different design in the future.If we take a look at Royal Enfield’s sales, Meteor 350 already commands up to 8,000 units sales steadily with 10,000+ units sold in October 2023. This is a prospect enough for a rival brand to jump on the bandwagon. That rival could very well be Triumph because it is the second highest-seller in 300cc to 500cc segment after Royal Enfield. There is scope for export potential too.Rendering artist Pratyush Rout has penned down his version of how Triumph’s meteor rival could look like. Because Triumph’s cruiser lineup comes under Speedmaster range, we aptly named it Triumph Speedmaster 400 Cruiser. Design and aesthetics pay tribute to Bonneville Speedmaster, which is a pretty modern classic cruiser.Triumph Speedmaster 400 render – Caspian Blue/Storm GreyCombining the design and appeal of Bonneville Speedmaster and Bajaj-Triumph duo’s new 400cc platform, we get Triumph Speedmaster 400. There are 4 colour options with this render – Phantom Black/Storm Grey, Caspian Blue/Storm Grey, Carnival Red/Storm Grey and Gloss Khaki Green/Storm Grey.How does it differ from Speed 400?As opposed to Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X already on sale, Triumph Speedmaster 400 gets a longer wheelbase, much larger and plusher seats, much higher rake angle, longer and pulled handlebar, front-set footpegs, larger teardrop fuel tank, new rear subframe, retro and classic mudguards at both ends, twin-shock absorber suspension at the rear, USD front forks at front, long and straight chrome finished exhaust and more.All of these combined, lend a classic textbook cruiser appeal to Triumph Speedmaster 400. Longer wheelbase ensures straight-line stability. Higher trail angle, pulled handlebars, front set footpegs, plush and supportive seats ensure unparalleled comfort. Rear twin-shock setup allows to carry heavier luggage and the larger fuel tank will hold more fuel for higher tank range.Triumph Speedmaster 400 render – Black/Storm GreyThis render gets 5-spoke star-shaped 18-inch front and 16-inch rear alloy wheels, wrapped with 130-section front and 150-section rear tyres. Powertrain-wise, this Speedmaster 400 render gets the same 398.15cc single-cylinder 4V DOHC liquid-cooled engine that is capable of developing 39.5 bhp of peak power and 37.5 Nm of peak torque. This engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox along with ride-by-wire and a slip and assist clutch.Note: This is a computer-generated render and is not a physical product that you can buy. Said render was created by Pratyush Rout. It is not commissioned by Triumph or Bajaj and is purely artist’s interpretation of what such a product could turn out.Triumph Speedmaster 400 render – Gloss Khaki Green/Storm Grey More

Triumph Thruxton 400The same 398.15cc single-cylinder engine with 39.5 bhp and 37 Nm on Speed 400 is likely to make it on the upcoming Triumph Thruxton 400Bajaj-Triumph duo first announced the new 400cc platform, there were many speculations that this platform could spawn in the future. One of those speculations was Thruxton 400 Cafe Racer. As of now, the company has launched Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X. For the first time, Thruxton 400 has been spotted testing and we like what we see.Triumph Thruxton 400 Spotted Testing With FairingCafe Racers have an appealing design language that many enthusiasts love. Triumph has Thruxton lineup to cater for this audience. But all the folks that craved a smaller capacity Cafe Racer from Triumph, can finally rejoice as the first set of spy shots of Triumph Thruxton 400 leaked online.Said test mules were spotted abroad and will be made in India by Bajaj. Small Capacity Cafe Racer style motorcycles are gaining popularity. Even Royal Enfield is jumping on this bandwagon based on Sherpa 450 platform as revealed by their roadmap consisting 13 new motorcycles including New Himalayan.The same platform as Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X will be utilised. Spy shots reveal a stylish motorcycle that has all the elements of a neo-retro motorcycle to win you over. This Cafe Racer style gets a bikini fairing that could be termed as a headlight cowl. This fairing extends to the bottom of its fuel tank, lending a muscular appeal.Triumph Thruxton 400 bikini fairingAs seen in spy shots above, Triumph Thruxton 400 gets a round headlight. This is identical to Speed 400’s round LED headlight. The fairing is slightly sporty with aggressive cuts and creases in it. There is a transparent windshield too and it will offer marginal wind protection when ducked and riding aggressively.Componentry and specsWhere componentry is concerned, Triumph Thruxton 400 gets the same USD front forks as Speed 400, but this test mule sported a black finish instead of gold. Radiator positioning, exhaust routing and end can look identical to that of Speed 400’s. There are a few differences, though. Triumph is offering clip-on handlebars on Thruxton 400.This ensures a sporty riding position and demands quite a lean from rider. Bar end mirrors look identical to Speed 400. Seat and subframe look identical too but tail section is different on Thruxton 400 test mules than what we saw with Speed 400. Other similarities include wheels and tyres along with fuel tank and powertrain.Triumph Thruxton 400 profileSpeaking of powertrain, upcoming Triumph Thruxton 400 will share its powertrain with Speed 400. This 398.15cc single-cylinder DOHC liquid-cooled 4V engine is capable of developing 39.5 bhp of peak power at 8,000 RPM and 37.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM. Ride-by-wire throttle, slip and assist clutch, a 6-speed gearbox and other attributes will be on offer as well.This test mule looks close to prodution and the basic motorcycle is already developed. Considering these factors, Bajaj-Triumph duo can launch by mid-2024. When launched, there would be no real rival for Thruxton 400 in the 300cc to 500cc segment in India.Thruxton 400 rear sectionSource – Autostreet More

Upcoming Triumph DaytonaAs opposed to its predecessor which was an all-out sportbike, new Triumph Daytona looks more like a sports cruiserThere are a few motorcycles in the world that command incredible recall with enthusiasts. One such machine rolling on two wheels is Triumph’s Daytona. The sporty credentials, good powertrains, unoffensive design language, and a culmination of cutting-edge kit and componentry are characteristics of last known Daytona.After some considerable gap, Triumph seems to be bringing back its Daytona. Only this time around, the brand’s lower-spec 660cc triple engine is what will grace this bike. Street Triple’s 765cc triple-cylinder engine would have glorified Daytona’s name further, but the 660 triple ain’t too shabby as well. Let’s take a look.New Triumph Daytona Spotted Testing – Sportiest 660 ever?Test mules feature a near production-ready motorcycle with barely any camouflage. This can be a clear indication that launch could happen sooner than we think. The overall design stays true to what Triumph has done with precious Daytona vehicles. There is a twin-pod headlight design at the front, paying homage to its predecessor.However, these headlights are now sleeker and feature LEDs in them along with LED DRLs. ORVM stalks are now wider than before and fairing is a lot more handsome. Turn indicators are very sleek with newer models and like headlights, get LEDs too. The The recent test mule shows a similar engine and platform as current Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660.Fairing designConsidering how similar they both were in terms of engine and gearbox tuning, we could see a similar setup with new Triumph Daytona as well. We’re talking about 81 bhp of power, 64 Nm of torque and a 6-speed gearbox. Just like the other two 660s, Daytona should get a TCS (Traction Control System), two riding modes (Rain and Road) and a bi-directional quick shifter.Componentry seems to be shared too. We can see similar Michelin Road 5 tyres, similar-design alloy wheels, and almost identical instrument clusters as seen with Tiger Sport 660 along with switchgear and levers. However, there are a few differences as well. There is a weird-looking exhaust that extends from the same underbelly unit as other two 660cc bikes from Triumph.Same performance as other two 660s?Front gets a non-adjustable USD telescopic forks as there is no provision for adjustments visible. Rear gets a mono-shock with pre-load adjustability. There is a slight difference in braking setup, especially with front brakes. New Triumph Daytona test mule sports a radial brake positioning as opposed to axial ones on Trident and Tiger Sport.Rear profileThese calipers don’t have any branding, unlike the Nissin-branded ones on other two bikes. We can’t see whether brake lever gets axial or radial mounting. Also, we hope there is an R version in the future with more performance and an aggressive setup like Daytona 675R in the past. We say this because new Daytona seems to have ergonomics like that of a sports cruiser instead of an all-out sportbike. India launch possibility is unclear.Source More
