Bajaj Built Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X Unveiled.

A 398cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine will power the Triumph and Scrambler models.

Triumph has officially introduced the all-new Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X. These are the first bikes to emerge from Triumph's collaboration with Bajaj and were manufactured in India by the latter. The Speed 400 takes stylistic influences from the Speed Twin 900, while the Scrambler 400 X takes cues from the Scrambler 900.

Engine Specifications of Triumph Speed and Scrambler

The core of these two new motorcycles is a brand-new single-cylinder engine called the TR-series engine from Triumph. It is a liquid-cooled engine with DOHC construction and a displacement of 398cc. The output of the Triumph is pretty similar to KTM's 390 line-ups, with a torque of 40hp at 8,000rpm and power of 37.5Nm at 6,500rpm. Triumphs, like KTMs, have a 6-speed gearbox. Surprisingly, Triumph's bigger 900cc twin-cylinder models continue to use a 5-speed gearbox. 

Although liquid cooling is present, the engine features cooling fins with a sleek machined finish mainly for aesthetic purposes. The engine's overall design is reminiscent of Triumph's larger modern classic models, including the triangular engine cover situated on the right side.

Triumph describes the frame of these new bikes as a tubular steel hybrid spine/perimeter frame. 

Chassis of the Triumph Motorcycles

However, the engines are similar, and there are significant changes in the chassis, with Triumph saying that each bike benefits from a specific chassis and suspension arrangement. The Speed 400 rides on 17-inch wheels covered in premium and athletic Metzeler Sportec M9RR rubber on both ends. Meanwhile, the Scrambler is outfitted with 19-inch/17-inch alloy wheels and Metzeler Karoo Street tyres.

Both motorcycles have the same basic suspension configuration: a 43mm big-piston fork and a monoshock. The Scrambler has greater suspension travel than the Speed. The Scrambler bike has 150mm of travel at each end. However, the Speed 400 has 140mm in front and 130mm in the back. The brakes are also different, with the Scrambler having a slightly bigger 320mm front disc against the Speed's 300mm unit. It may be because it is a heavier bike, weighing 179 kg than the Speed's 170 kg kerb weight.

Due to its higher stance and longer suspension travel, the Scrambler seats you higher off the ground, at 835mm, than the Speed's more approachable 790mm seat height.

Features of the Triumph Scrambler and Speed

The Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X motorcycles are equipped with all-LED lighting, providing improved visibility and energy efficiency. The bikes feature ride-by-wire technology, which provides precise throttle control and a traction control system. 

Both bikes are equipped with dual-channel ABS to enhance braking performance and safety. An immobiliser, assist clutch, and a USB-C charging port are also featured in the bike.

The motorcycles are equipped with semi-digital instrumentation, featuring a large analogue speedometer and a small LCD screen adjacent to it. The LCD screen displays various information, such as a digital tachometer, gear position indicator, trip data, and a fuel gauge.

The instrument cluster includes a symbol for heated grips, and in the case of the Scrambler 400 X, the dual-channel ABS can be switched off for off-road use.

Launch details and Pricing of the Triumph Bikes

The Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X will be officially launched, and the price will be revealed in India on July 5. The very remarkable features and equipment levels on offer, as well as the brand value that Triumph demands. The Speed 400 should be priced at about Rs. 3 lakh ex-showroom, with the Scrambler 400 X available at a higher price.
