In another potentially collaboration, Triumph Motorcycles and Bajaj are believed to be working on the development of a 250cc scrambler motorcycle. 

  • several reliable Indian publications have reported sightings of the Speed 250 and Scrambler 250 models listed on the manufacturer’s website.
  • a 250cc scrambler could expand Triumph’s market reach globally. 

Bajaj has been entrusted with the production and development of the Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X models, which were recently launched to great acclaim on June 27, 2023. 

By outsourcing production to Bajaj, Triumph aims to make its motorcycles more accessible to a wider range of riders around the globe.

The introduction of the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X motorcycles has significantly lowered the entry barriers to Triumph ownership, as these new models are considerably more affordable than the existing lineup. Prior to their release, the Trident 660 stood as the most affordable Triumph motorcycle. 

Although the purported listings of the Speed 250 and Scrambler 250 on Triumph’s website could not be independently verified, the multiple credible sources reporting their presence indicate that these models are either in development or already prepared for an imminent launch.

While it is essential to approach these reports as speculative until officially confirmed by Triumph, the introduction of a 250cc motorcycle series would undoubtedly strengthen the brand’s presence and appeal to a wider audience.

Triumph Motorcycle introduces a range of vibrant and captivating colour options for its 2024 line-up.

  • The Roadster, Rocket 3, Tiger, and Tiger Sport models are set to don striking new schemes.
  • Customers can now place their orders for these exhilarating options, adding a touch of personalisation to their Triumph motorcycles.

Leading the charge in bold colour choices are the Speed Triple 1200 RS and Trident 660 models. The Speed Triple 1200 RS will be available in a captivating new Carnival Red scheme, alongside the existing Matt Silver Ice and Sapphire Black options. The Carnival Red fuel tank, headlight finisher, side panels, rear bodywork, seat cowl, and belly pan, coupled with distinctive silver RS graphics, create a truly eye-catching design.

The sporty and agile Trident 660 gains a striking new colour option for 2024, featuring a Jet Black and Triumph Racing Yellow scheme. This new addition complements the existing Silver Ice, Diablo Red, and Matt Jet Black and Silver Ice choices. The Jet Black fuel tank, headlight bezel, and front mudguard, combined with the dramatic Triumph Racing Yellow radiator cowl, rear bodywork, and mudguard graphic, result in a visually stunning combination.

The Rocket 3 line-up exudes sophistication with its new colour choices. The Rocket 3 R, Triumph’s ultimate muscle roadster, offers three elegant options: Matt Silver Ice, Triumph Sapphire Black, and the mesmerising Sapphire Black and Carnival Red scheme with Silver Ice detailing. The Sapphire Black fuel tank, Carnival Red infill with a Silver Ice coachline graphic, and various other black and silver components create a truly luxurious aesthetic.

For those seeking a touch of grandeur, the Rocket 3 GT comes in two sophisticated colour options. The metallic Sapphire Black underlines the bike’s muscular presence, while the Sapphire Black and Carnival Red scheme with Silver Ice detailing adds an extra layer of style.

The Tiger models also receive attention with their striking new schemes. The Tiger Sport 850 is available in two distinctive options: a bold Graphite and Diablo Red scheme, as well as a sophisticated Graphite and Jet Black combination. These designs feature a combination of black, graphite, and red elements, enhancing the bike’s adventurous spirit.

Triumph’s award-winning Tiger Sport 660, known for its versatility, now presents riders with three stylish colourways. The Snowdonia White and Jet Black option provides a clean and elegant appearance, while the Jet Black and Graphite scheme adds a touch of darkness. The third option, Korosi Red and Graphite, stands out with its bold and distinctive appeal.

Baru-baru ini Triumph Motorcycles mencuri tumpuan dengan pelancaran global Triumph Speed 400 dan Scrambler 400 X. Kedua-dua model ini dihasilkan dengan kerjasama syarikat motosikal gergasi India, Bajaj Auto.

Triumph Speed 400 dan Scrambler 400 X merupakan motosikal jenis ‘cafe racer’ serta ‘scrambler’ yang digerakkan platform TR-Series dibangunkan sepenuhnya Bajaj. Menariknya, platform tersebut bukanlah enjin yang sama terdapat pada Dominar 400 mahupun KTM RC 390 sebaliknya sebuah enjin serba baharu. 

*Scrambler 400 X

Sementara itu, kami telah pun diberitahu oleh pihak Triumph Motorcycles yang hadir ke Malaysia baru-baru ini bahawa kedua-dua model 400cc itu akan turut dipasarkan di Malaysia. 

Menurut Ketua Jualan Eksport Triumph Motorcycles, Cees De Rooij, Triumph Speed 400 dan Scrambler 400 X itu akan turut dijual di Malaysia ekoran rantau ini antara tumpuan utama jenama tersebut bagi memasarkan jentera berkapasiti kecil. 

*Speed 400

“Model 400cc itu cukup sesuai untuk pasaran ini (Malaysia) dan beberapa pasaran lain di Asia. 

“Ini adalah usaha kami bagi menjadikan jenama Triumph lebih mampu milik berbanding model sedia ada,” jelasnya.

Sebaik dilancarkan di Malaysia kelak, kami yakin kedua-dua varian ini akan menerima sambutan baik ekoran membuka peluang kepada lebih ramai pelanggan untuk merasai pemilikan motosikal jenama Britain itu. 

Untuk rekod, Triumph Speed 400 dan Scrambler 400 X dikuasakan enjin silinder tunggal 398cc yang berupaya menghasilkan 39.5hp dan 37Nm. Meskipun dikuasakan enjin yang sama namun masing-masing menawarkan pengalaman menunggang yang berbeza.

Ini kerana Speed 400 lebih sesuai untuk kegunaan harian sementara Scrambler 400 X tampil lebih lasak dengan rim 19-inci depan di samping fungsi ABS boleh dipadamkan bagi tunggan ‘off-road’.

Apa pun, kami akan bawakan perkembangan yang lanjut mengenai kemasukan dua model ini di Malaysia dari masa ke masa. 

Triumph Motorcycles has introduced the highly anticipated 2024 Scrambler 400 X, the second model after the Speed 400. 

  • Designed as a retro-styled scrambler, it shares the same platform and engine as the Speed 400 but offers a distinct riding experience and aesthetic appeal.
  • The Scrambler 400 X is powered by the same 398cc single-cylinder engine as the Speed 400.

The Scrambler 400 X features the all-new 398cc single-cylinder engine found in the Speed 400, delivering an impressive output of 39.5hp @ 8,000 rpm and 37Nm @ 6,500 rpm. Triumph has made specific modifications to the frame, seat, handlebars, and footpegs to create a unique scrambler riding position and stance. 

Equipped with a DOHC four-valve single engine, the Scrambler 400 X incorporates finger followers to reduce valve train inertia and a reverse-rotating balancer shaft to minimize vibrations. It offers switchable traction control, an assist-and-slipper clutch, and a six-speed gearbox. 

The suspension has increased travel, with 150mm of stroke in the front and rear, catering to light off-road use. The Metzeler Karoo Street tires provide excellent grip on loose surfaces while maintaining on-road performance. The Scrambler 400 X also features several design elements typical of scrambler motorcycles, including hand guards, a headlight grille, an engine bash guard, and a radiator protector. 

Its frame design, a hybrid spine/perimeter configuration like the Speed 400, offers stability and control. The bike has a higher seat height of 833mm but remains suitable for most riders. With a weight increase of only 9kg compared to the Speed 400, the Scrambler 400 X tips the scales at just 179kg with a full tank of fuel. 

The braking system includes a ByBre four-piston radial front caliper with a larger 320mm disc and a rear brake with a 230mm rotor and single-piston caliper. The ABS system can be switched off for off-road adventures, setting it apart from the 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.

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.

In a remarkable display of endurance and skill, Iván Cervantes, the renowned 5-time Enduro World Champion and Triumph Global Ambassador, has officially secured the prestigious GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for ‘The greatest distance on a motorcycle in 24 hours (individual)’. 

Riding a Tiger 1200 GT Explorer, Cervantes shattered the previous record by an astonishing margin, covering a distance of over 2493 miles (4012 kilometers) within the designated time frame.

The awe-inspiring feat took place on the High-Speed Ring at the Nardò Technical Center in Italy, where Cervantes showcased his exceptional riding prowess and unyielding determination. On April 30, 2023, under the watchful eye of a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator, Cervantes embarked on his mission to surpass the existing record of 2116.39 miles (3406 kilometers).

Pushing his limits and conquering the vast expanse of asphalt, Cervantes masterfully maneuvered his Tiger 1200 GT Explorer for an entire day, surpassing all expectations. Clocking in at a final confirmed distance of 2493.28 miles (4012.53 kilometers), he shattered the previous record by an impressive margin of more than 372.82 miles (600 kilometers). 

To put this achievement into perspective, it is equivalent to traveling from London to the Great Pyramid of Giza or from New York City to Los Angeles as the crow flies, all within a mere 24 hours.

The GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator meticulously monitored the attempt, ensuring adherence to the strict guidelines set forth by the organization. Cervantes’s accomplishment was met with resounding applause from onlookers and enthusiasts who witnessed the historic moment firsthand.

Triumph, the British motorcycle manufacturer, is set to launch its first affordable, single-cylinder models on June 27 in London. 

  • Triumph-Bajaj partnership set to reveal first bike in London. 
  • According to reports, two models have been caught testing in Europe. 

The retro-styled street bikes have been developed in partnership with Indian manufacturer Bajaj and mark a significant turning point for Triumph, which hasn’t produced an entry-level, single-cylinder bike since the early 1990s. 

The bikes will be available worldwide and will join the current Triumph product portfolio, distributed by the Triumph-led dealer network. 

Two models have been spied on test, a retro-style roadster and a 1960s-inspired scrambler, both of which share the same DOHC single-cylinder engine. 

The launch event will be global, organized by Triumph, and the bikes should be available at dealerships in India from the second quarter of this financial year.

The Triumph-Bajaj partnership has been progressing steadily over recent months, and it seems that a new bike is on the horizon. A recent video posted on YouTube by The Fat Biker has given us the clearest look yet at a Triumph Bajaj test mule being tested on roads in India.

  • The test mule is seen with alloy wheels instead of wire-spoked wheels shown last year. 
  • Reports suggest the all-new motorcycle is likely to break cover towards the end of 2023. 

The bike is believed to be a 400cc machine, with a neutral and upright seating position and mid-mounted foot pegs. It features cast wheels (19-inch up front and a 17-inch in the rear), high-mounted fenders front and rear, and an underslung exhaust with a dual-tipped canister mounted low on the right side. LED lighting is present throughout the bike, and the speedometer is analog.

While it’s not yet clear when the new Triumph-Bajaj bike will be formally revealed, bike press in India believes it will happen later in 2023. 

The upcoming bike is expected to directly compete with other scramblers like the Royal Enfield Scram 411, the Yezdi Scrambler, and the Honda CB350RS.

With eight months to go until the formal reveal, enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting more information about this exciting new offering from the Triumph-Bajaj partnership. Stay tuned for more updates on this upcoming model.

British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph is set to expand its range of motorcycles, with recent trademark applications suggesting the company has even more ambitious projects in the works.

  • Triumph is working on several new models as confirmed by latest trademark applications. 
  • The Hurricane nameplate is well known back in the 70s. 

According to reports by Cycle World, Triumph has filed trademark applications for “Hurricane,” “Adventurer,” and “Street Tracker” in multiple countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom.

The name “Hurricane” is well-known to Triumph enthusiasts, as it was used on the iconic X-75 Hurricane motorcycle in the 1970s. It is likely that Triumph will use the name for a new model with similar styling and mechanical layout to the X-75. 

Triumph also applied for the name “Adventurer,” which has been used in the past on a twin-cylinder scrambler and a cruiser. However, the company is likely to use the name for an adventure bike given its current range of adventure models.

Finally, the trademark application for “Street Tracker” suggests that Triumph is developing a bike in this style, although the use of “Street” in the name raises some questions. It is possible that Triumph will use the name for a model based on its Street Triple, or that it will be used for the new Bajaj-built, single-cylinder retro models that are due to be launched later this year.

While Triumph has a history of holding onto trademark rights for historic names, the recent changes to US trademark law mean that companies are only meant to register names they genuinely intend to use soon. 

Triumph’s expansion into new markets, including motocross and electric motorcycles, as well as its plans to develop a range of entry-level single-cylinder bikes in India, suggest that the company has big plans for the future.
