Triumph Motorcycles has launched its most affordable motorcycle in the Indian market, the Speed 400. This new product from the British company will be sold alongside the Scrambler 400 X. Notably, both motorcycles will be manufactured by Bajaj Auto in Maharashtra, India. Here, we list the top five highlights of the new Triumph Speed 400.
What are the styling cues of the 2023 Triumph Speed 400?
The new Triumph Speed 400 boasts a neo-retro design that draws styling cues from bigger-displacement Triumph products such as the Speed Twin. Thus, the design includes a round headlight, a semi-digital instrument cluster, a curvy fuel tank with knee recesses, a step-up seat, and a side-slung exhaust. The classic Triumph engine profile with a triangle badge, finned cylinder head, and exhaust header clamps further enhance the styling. Then, this road-biased variant of the Triumph 400cc range rides on 17-inch alloy wheels on both ends. The colour palette, similar to the international market, comprises three options – Carnival Red with Phantom Black, Caspian Blue with Storm Grey, and Phantom Black with Storm Grey.

Notably, unlike the Scrambler 400 X, the dual-channel ABS on the Speed 400 is non-switchable.
