Combined with the wider wheelbase, this feature helps the rider feel more grounded. Plus, it offers a much lower seat height, making it more accessible for shorter riders. Although Triumph did not specify how low the Speed 400 could be, the Hero Mavrick leads the way with 440 ground clearance. Moreover, this allows it to handle bumps better compared to other models. The X440, Speed 400 and Mavrick have the largest fuel tanks in the group. With a claimed range of 35 km, the X440 is expected to offer the longest range. While Hero has yet to reveal the Mavrick's claimed mileage, it is probably comparable or close to the X440.

Its mid-top variant features a 5-inch round TFT display along with smartphone connectivity, call and music control and integrated Google Maps. Both the X440 and Mavrick have sequential navigation, while the Speed 400 doesn't have full navigation as an option. However, the Speed 400 is the only bike with adjustable traction control.
