The newly launched motorcycles from Triumph, the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X, have cumulatively secured a total of 1,500 bookings in India. The number is most likely to rise rapidly, as the introductory price for the Speed is an ultra-aggressive Rs 2.23 lakh, for the first 10,000 customers, post which it will be hiked to Rs 2.33 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom). The brand is yet to release pricing details for the Scrambler 400 X. Built in collaboration with Bajaj, these are now the most affordable motorcycles to be launched in India by Triumph.
