Following the global debut late last month, Triumph Motorcycles is set to launch its most accessible twins – the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X in India today. Co-developed with Bajaj, the two motorcycles derive their styling from Triumph’s Speed Twin and Scrambler motorcycle range. Both models are based on an all-new platform, share the same frame and are powered by a new liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine.

On the design front, the Speed 400, like its larger siblings, gets a modern classic roadster design with elements such as a sculpted fuel tank, round headlamp, and a single-piece seat. The Scrambler too follows a retro-inspired design theme as its larger siblings. The round headlamp is retained though the Scrambler does get a different design for the fuel tank as compared to the Speed 400, a split seat, dual-sport tyres and a two-can upswept exhaust. The seat height is taller too, at 835 mm, compared to 790 mm on the Speed 400.
