Triumph has launched the Speed 400 and Scarmbler 400 X at a price of Rs. XX and Rs. XX respectively.
These 400 twins are the first product from the Triumph Bajaj partnership to enter the small to mid-capacity segment market. The 400 twins will rival the recently launched Harley-Davidson X 440, along with the Royal Enfield Continental GT, Interceptor, KTM 390 Duke, and TVS Apache RR 310.
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 170 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.
