The Triumph speed 400 is a bike that has stormed the Indian biking industry. It’s compact, stylish, and packs just enough punch for daily rides and weekend fun. Triumph launched it with a classic appeal, but the technology inside is fully modern. It is an excellent combination of strength and control and best suited to an adventurous rider who is seeking an aggressive yet cost-effective venture into the Triumph camp.
Its heart is a 398cc, liquid-cooled engine that delivers around 40hp. This engine is tuned to offer smooth acceleration and steady torque across all gears. Its mid-range hit, the amount of low-end torque, is what riders love, and it is so much fun in urban traffic. The same engine is used on other Triumph 400 models and rides the same.
It is a retro classic-inspired design with contemporary appointments. Round headlights and bar-end mirrors make it feel premium all over. The bike features upside-down forks, ByBre disc brakes, and dual-channel ABS. It handles like a dream thanks to its steel frame and perfect weight balance.
Adding to the excitement, Triumph also launched the Thruxton 400—a cafe racer styled sibling to the Speed 400. It shares the same engine but wears a new outfit. A sporty fairing, clip-on handlebars, and racing posture give it a very different riding character. For those who love café racers, it’s a treat.
In terms of pricing, the Speed 400 starts at ₹2.50 lakh. Meanwhile, the Thruxton 400 is slightly costlier at ₹2.74 lakh. The price gap reflects the extra style and racing spirit in the Thruxton. If you’re torn between looks and comfort, both offer great value. They are perfect for new riders or anyone who wants a second bike that’s both capable and cool.
The buzz around the Triumph Speed 400 is strong for good reason. It’s light, nimble, and brings a slice of the Triumph of Cleveland legacy to new-age streets. You get history, performance, and head-turning looks—all in one. Whether you’re a daily commuter or a weekend explorer, this bike truly delivers.
