The Triumph Speed 400 made its grand entry into the Indian market in July of the previous year, boasting an enticing initial price tag of Rs 2.23 lakh. This competitive pricing stirred considerable excitement on the internet, and Triumph India reports that the response in terms of bookings was equally impressive. However, as anticipated, the inaugural price tag was not a permanent fixture and was bound to undergo adjustments over time. As of January 1, 2024, marking the end of the introductory period, the Triumph Speed 400 is now priced at Rs. 2.33 lakh (ex-showroom).
Belonging to Triumph's esteemed Speed family, which also includes the 900cc and 1200cc offerings, the Speed 400 stands out as the smallest and newest addition to this prestigious lineup. Aesthetically, the Speed 400 draws inspiration from its larger siblings embracing a minimalistic, simple, yet elegant design. Positioned as a quintessential modern-classic roadster it features distinctive elements such as a round headlamp, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and a curvaceous tail section and Subtle touches like bar-end mirrors and golden USD forks enhance its visual appeal.
Powering the Triumph Speed 400 is a robust 398cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that churns out 39.5bhp and 37.5Nm of torque. This powerplant is coupled with a responsive six-speed gearbox. The motorcycle's structural foundation rests on a hybrid spine/perimeter, tubular frame, utilizing 17-inch wheels and being supported by USD forks and a mono-shock for a balanced and dynamic ride. Handling the braking responsibilities efficiently is a single disc at both the front and rear ends.

It boasts full LED lighting for enhanced visibility and aesthetics, a semi-digital instrument cluster for crucial riding information, a ride-by-wire throttle for precise control, a switchable traction control system to cater to varying riding conditions, and dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety.
Triumph India's choice to end the initial pricing reflects both the ongoing demand for this fantastic motorbike and the inevitable changes in the industry.

Triumph India's calculated action confirms the company's dedication to producing motorcycles that are cutting-edge and fulfill riders' changing needs while setting it up for long-term success in a very competitive market.
