Triumph recently launched the Speed 400 at an introductory price of Rs. 2.23 lakh for the initial 10,000 units and after that, it will set you back by Rs. 2.33 lakh.
The company also revealed the Scrambler 400 X which shares the same engine, suspension and cycle parts tuned a little differently. We can expect the Scrambler 400 X launch sometime before the festive season in October 2023.
The brand has recorded over 10,000 bookings in a matter of 10 days after the bookings were opened on 10th June. Both bikes will be manufactured at the new Bajaj facility in Pune which has a capacity of 25,000 units, of which initially 5000 units will be allocated for Triumph and the rest 20,000 for KTM.
Both the bikes house an all-new 398 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, DOHC, TR-series engine that comes mated to a six-speed gearbox that produces 39 bhp of power at 8000 rpm and 37.5 Nm of peak torque at 6500 rpm.
The Speed 400 comes shod with 17-inch Metzeler Sportec M9RR tyres on both wheels and the Scrambler 400 gets a 19-inch setup for the front and a 17-inch setup for the rear section with Metzeler Karoo Street tyres. Both bikes sport the same suspension setup, albeit with some travel differences.
Up front, there is a 43 mm USD fork and for the rear, there is a monoshock. The Scrambler gets a travel of 150 mm on both sides and the Speed gets 140 mm travel for the front section and 130 mm at the rear. Braking duties are handled by a 320 mm front disc for the Scrambler and a 300 mm disc for the Speed 400, both bikes get a 230 mm disc at the rear.
The Speed 400 is 814 mm wide, 1,084 mm tall and has a wheelbase of 1,377 mm. On the other hand, the Scrambler 400 X is 901 mm wide, 1,169 mm tall and has a wheelbase of 1,418 mm. Both bikes can hold up to 13 litres of fuel.
The Speed 400 tips the scales at 176 kg and the Scrambler weighs 9 kg more than its counterpart. The seat height for the Scrambler is 835 mm and the Speed will seat you at 790 mm.
