Numbers That Matter

Engine Talk – What’s Changed?
All the ‘400’ new bikes are now powered by a 349cc engine derived from the earlier 398cc unit. The reduction in displacement comes from a shorter stroke, while the bore remains unchanged. Other changes include a new higher inertia crankshaft, new valve timings, optimised balancer, and more aggressive fueling maps. While peak performance figures are lower, the real-world riding experience is expected to remain largely similar, especially in everyday conditions.

Our Take – Who Should Consider Them?
The Triumph 400 range has been known for its clean design, strong performance, and accessible pricing. With the shift to a 350cc engine, the brand seems to be focusing more on affordability while keeping the overall experience intact. If you were already considering one of these bikes, the core appeal remains unchanged. However, those looking for outright performance might notice the difference on paper. Real-world impressions will only become clear once these bikes are ridden. Also, it's worth noting here that the prices haven't significantly dropped even after downsizing because when the new GST rules came into effect, Triumph hadn't increased the prices. The brand was absorbing the impact of new GST rates.

This is a nice machine for long rides and touring. This bike is now at the top of my list of favourite bikes. I like its pickup, and it is a good choice for me within my budget. It is also suitable for shorter riders.Read More
My journey with casper has become a mind blowing experience. The sound altogether gives me th thrill to dive th vehicle with respect and care, I always suggest everyone who are planning to buy this amazing machine to always drive with love care and respect and always be in and around 40- 60 kmpl to maintain an amazing mileage.Read More
I’ve the original 398cc displacement yellow XC what a great bike. Around the city, it is easy to manoeuvre and so tractable. Overtakes are buttery smooth in any gear. Being a single cylinder, highway performance when you’re cruising over 110kmph is a little buzzy especially if you sit at over 7000-7500 rpm. But this is as good as a single cylinder bike gets. Suspension gives you feedback but never lacks absorption. For riders with a short inseam, the saddle height may trouble them but riding tall bikes is a skill which anyone can learn and it just looks so so so pretty.Read More
