The Triumph Speed 400 is a more road-biased model with a modern roadster charm. It's got a timeless design, and from the specs and components there's more ‘modern’ in it than ‘classic’. A very promising roadster it indeed is.
The Scrambler 400 X is designed to take on the rough, not a thoroughbred off-road bike, but with enough capability to take on the occasional rough with the daily duties it's designed for. More suspension travel, switchable ABS and a bigger front disc brake, as well as gripper footpegs give it the proper ‘scrambler’ appeal.
Powering both these motorcycles is a 398 cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder motor making 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm while the peak torque output is 37.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox, which gets a torque-assist clutch. Power output is comparable to the competition and the torque curve is expected to offer very good low- and mid-range grunt, as well as free-revving performance.
The motorcycles get ride-by-wire along with dual-channel ABS, which can be switched off on the Scrambler 400 X. In addition, the motorcycles get a large analogue instrument console along with an integrated LCD screen. There's standard traction control as well which is switchable.
The Scrambler 400 X features a longer wheelbase, longer travel suspension at 150 mm, a larger 19-inch front wheel and wide handlebars.
The Speed 400 follows the lines of a modern classic roadster. The exposed engine and the chain drive, along with the machined Aluminium bits, look cool and add a cool, retro flavour to the motorcycle.
The motorcycles are set to be launched in India on July 5, 2023. We expect the prices to start at around Rs. 2.95- 3 lakh for the Triumph Speed 400 and around Rs. 3.15-3.25 lakh for the Scrambler 400 X (ex-showroom).
The Triumph Scrambler 400 X also features a longer swingarm, and overall the bike is longer, taller, wider and also heavier with its 179 kg wet weight, which is 9 kg more than the Speed 400.
