FIRST LOOK: 2024 Triumph Speed 400

Triumph Motorcycles has unveiled its highly anticipated 2024 Speed 400, marking the brand’s entry into the 400cc segment.

  • Developed in collaboration with Bajaj Motorcycles, this new model showcases Triumph’s iconic design language in a compact package.
  • The Speed 400 makes an impressive 39.5hp and 27Nm. 

At the heart of the Speed 400 is Bajaj’s liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, 398cc single-cylinder TR-series engine. With a claimed output of 39.5hp @ 8,000 rpm and 27Nm @ 6,500 rpm, this agile powerhouse promises an exhilarating riding experience. The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox, providing seamless gear transitions.

The Speed 400 features a robust and innovative chassis design, combining a hybrid spine and perimeter frame made from tubular steel. The front suspension boasts 43mm upside-down Big Piston Forks, offering 140mm of travel, while the rear suspension incorporates a remote preload adjustable monoshock with an external reservoir.

The braking system comprises a four-piston radial caliper in the front, paired with a 300mm fixed brake disc, and a single floating caliper with a 230mm fixed disc in the rear. ABS and braided stainless steel brake lines come standard for enhanced safety.

Equipped with modern rider aids, the Speed 400 includes ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control, and ABS, all provided by Bosch. The torque-assist clutch ensures smooth gear changes, while an analogue speedometer with an integrated LCD screen offers easy access to vital information. Additionally, a handlebar-mounted scroll button and a USB-C charging port provide convenience and connectivity on the go.

The Speed 400 boasts full LED lighting for enhanced visibility and a sleek, integrated light setup. In markets with specific regulations, separate turn signals will be available. To ensure security, Triumph has equipped the motorcycle with a steering lock, an immobilizer, and a transponder chip integrated into the key, adding an extra layer of protection.

Available in three striking two-tone paint schemes; Carnival Red, Caspian Blue, and Phantom Black. With its impressive specifications, advanced features, and iconic Triumph design, the Speed 400 is set to make its mark as an exciting addition to the motorcycle market.

Triumph’s collaboration with Bajaj Motorcycles has yielded a machine that combines British craftsmanship with Indian manufacturing prowess, resulting in a highly capable and accessible motorcycle.
