As we’ve anticipated for a few months now, Triumph has launched the downsized iteration of the popular 400cc platform in a 350cc avatar that benefits from the lower 18 percent GST rate. Triumph has also decided to continue using the ‘400’ nameplate on these models instead of rebranding them with more displacement-specific model names.
- Triumph 400cc platform downsized to 350cc
- Triumph Speed T4 price unchanged
- New Triumph Tracker 400 added to line-up
New Triumph 400 models engine specifications
The models in the new 350cc range are powered by a 349cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with an 89mm bore and 56.1mm stroke. The previous unit featured an 89mm bore and 64mm stroke, which is how the downsizing has been achieved.
The new Speed T4 produces 29hp at 7,500rpm and 31Nm at 5,500rpm – a slight drop from the outgoing 398.15cc single that makes 31hp at 7,000rpm and 36Nm at 5,000rpm.
On the Speed 400, Scrambler 400 and Scrambler 400 XC, peak output figures are now 37hp at 8,500rpm and 32Nm at 7,000rpm – down from 40hp at 8,000rpm and 37.5Nm at 6,500rpm.
Triumph has also introduced the new Tracker 400 to the Indian market. However, unlike the international-spec bike, this one gets the newer, smaller 350cc platform. It joins the Thruxton 400 to get the new engine in the most powerful state of tune, producing 40hp at 8,750rpm and 32Nm at 7,500rpm.
New Triumph 400 models price details
The new 350cc-powered range comprises six models. The Speed T4 continues to serve as the entry point, and its price remains unchanged at Rs 1.95 lakh. Moving up the ladder, the new Speed 400 is priced at Rs 2.32 lakh, and the Tracker 400 occupies the next spot at Rs 2.46 lakh. The scrambler line-up includes the Scrambler 400 at Rs 2.59 lakh and the more off-road focused Scrambler 400 XC at Rs 2.90 lakh, while the Thruxton 400 rounds out the range at Rs 2.66 lakh.
