The motorcycling industry seldom sees an entrance to market that perfectly blends heritage, innovative performance, and astonishing value. But that is precisely what the Triumph Speed 400 has accomplished. Since its introduction, this neo-retro roadster has rewritten the rules for the middleweight segment adjacent to bringing the unmistakable Triumph DNA- style, quality, and buzz- to an entirely new generation.
If you’re thinking about getting a new bike, either stepping into the performance segment or as a addition to a storied garage, the Speed 400 is a consideration you must make. It is more than a motorcycle, it is a gateway to the famed world of Triumph without the price premium.
Bold Design with Classic
The Triumph Speed 400 wears the familiar DNA of the Speed Twin family. Its substantial tank, round LED headlight, and well-defined bodywork create a distinct retro flavour. The exhaustive attention to detail, brushed metal detailing, excellent paintwork, and instantly recognizable stance blend to create an ageless and enduringly modern presence.
Engine Power and Performance
The Speed 400 is powered by a 398.15cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that generates 39.5 PS and 37.5 Nm of torque. Paired with a 6-speed transmission and a slip-and-assist clutch, the engine provides smooth power delivery and crisp performance—whether commuting in the city or lounging on the highway.
The throttle response is responsive, and the exhaust note has that Triumph growl to it, and that means the Speed 400 feels lively at both the low and higher rev ranges.
Safety Features and Ride Braking System
The motorcycle features 43mm upside-down front forks, and a gas-charged rear monoshock for enhanced comfort and stability. The motorcycle weighs in at only 398 kg (kerb weight), and has a balanced weight distribution neutral enough to provide a feeling of agility and stability when turning. Stopping power is supplied by the ByBre discs with dual-channel ABS, providing confident stopping power.
Triumph has equipped the Speed 400 with features typically offered on premium motorcycles. They are:
Fully LED lighting
Ride-by-wire throttle
Selectable traction control
Dual-channel ABS
Semi-digital instrument display with trip computer and gear indicator.
These considerations push the Speed 400 above its competitors and make it perhaps the most feature-rich bike in its class.
Triumph Speed 400 Price
With an aggressive price of just ₹1.33 lakh (ex-showroom, India), the Triumph Speed 400 presents remarkable value. Although we will compare it to the KTM Duke 390, BMW G 310 R, and Royal Enfield Classic 350, be aware that Triumph’s build quality and reputed brand value form an additional layer of savings.
Final Verdict
The Triumph Speed 400 is revolutionary in the modern classic category. It effectively marries British premium manufacturing with Indian pricing. Whether you are an inexperienced rider or a seasoned, experienced rider looking for a fun, stylish and refined motorcycle, the Speed 400 should be on your list.
