Triumph Shrinks the Engine, Not the Swag: New Speed 400 & T4 Hit India!
Hold onto your helmets, India! Triumph just pulled a “Honey, I Shrunk the Engine,” and the results are surprisingly spicy. We’re talking about the updated Triumph Speed 400 and the Speed T4, which have officially swapped their beefy hearts for leaner, meaner 350cc motors.
Is it a downgrade? Or just a smarter way to rule the streets? Let’s dive into the details.
The Price Tag: Leaner Engines, Cheaper Entry
Triumph is making a play for your wallet. While the “400” badge stays on the tank, the price tag has seen a nice little trim on the flagship model.
| Model | New Price (Ex-Showroom) | Price Change |
| Triumph Speed 400 | Rs. 2.32 Lakh | 📉 Rs. 7,110 Cheaper! |
| Triumph Speed T4 | Rs. 1.95 Lakh | ↔️ Unchanged |
The Power Trade-Off: What’s Under the Hood?
Both bikes now sport a 350cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. Yes, the numbers have dipped slightly, but Triumph promises the soul of the machine remains intact. Here is the raw data on the “diet” these engines just went on:
Speed 400: The Street Scorchers
- Power: 36.4 bhp @ 8,000rpm (Down by 3 bhp)
- Torque: 32 Nm @ 7,000rpm (Down by 5.5 Nm)
Speed T4: The Chill Cruiser
- Power: 28.6bhp @ 7,500rpm (Down by 2 bhp)
- Torque: 31 text Nm @ 5,500rpm (Down by 5 Nm)
The Identity Crisis: Despite the drop to 350cc, both bikes are keeping their “400” badging. It’s like wearing a “Large” t-shirt after a week at the gym—the confidence is still there!
Same DNA, Different Legs
If you loved the look of the previous gen, you’re in luck. The design and chassis remain untouched. However, there’s a key difference in how they handle the bumps:
- Speed 400: Stays premium with Inverted (USD) Forks and a Monoshock.
- Speed T4: Keeps it classic (and budget-friendly) with Telescopic Forks.
Common Hardware:
- Wheels: 17-inch Alloys
- Braking: 300mm Front / 230mm Rear Discs
- Safety: Dual-channel ABS (No compromises here!)
The Verdict: Should You Care?
If you’ve been eyeing a Triumph but found the 400cc power a bit “too much” for your daily commute (or your insurance premium), these 350cc variants are your golden ticket. You get the British Heritage, the premium finish, and a lower price point without losing the iconic silhouette.
Bonus News: The Triumph Scrambler 400 range has also joined the 350cc club. It seems the “Shrink-Ray” was working overtime at the factory this week!
What do you think? Is the Rs. 7,000 saving worth the 3bhp drop, or do you miss the old muscle? Let us know in the comments! 👇
