BREAKING: 350cc Triumph Scrambler 400X, Thruxton 400, Speed 400, Scrambler 400 XC, Speed T4 Launched In India: FULL DETAILS HERE

Smaller engines but all still have ‘400’ in their names

Triumph has finally launched the 350cc versions of the Scrambler 400 X, Thruxton 400, Speed 400, Scrambler 400 XC, Speed T4, and Tracker 400 in India. These bikes continue to carry the ‘400’ badge in spite of the smaller engine. This move comes as part of pricing adjustments under the new GST 2.0 regulations, while keeping the overall package largely unchanged.

How Much Do They Cost?

Pricing for the new 350cc Triumph bikes is as follows:

  • Speed T4: Rs 1,95,000 (unchanged)

  • Speed 400: Rs 2,31,890 (drop of Rs 7,110)

  • Scrambler 400 X: Rs 2,59,241 (down by Rs 10,736)

  • Thruxton 400: Rs 2,65,538 (lower by Rs 10,845)

  • Scrambler 400 XC: Rs 2,89,534 (Rs 7,382 lesser)

For reference, the earlier pricing was:

  • Triumph Speed T4: Rs 1,95,000

  • Speed 400: Rs 2,39,000

  • Scrambler 400: Rs 2,69,977

  • Thruxton 400: Rs 2,76,383

  • Scrambler 400 XC: Rs 2,96,916

(all prices mentioned ex-showroom, Delhi). 

What Are They?

  • Essentially the same Speed T4, Triumph Speed 400, Thruxton 400, Scrambler 400 X and XC

  • But, now powered by a slightly smaller engine as compared to before

  • Design, features, and underpinnings remain unchanged

  • Speaking of design, here's how the Scrambler looks in real life
  • Continue with the same premium finish, build quality, colours, and ergonomics

  • Still carry the ‘400’ badge despite engine downsizing

Numbers That Matter

  • Speed 400, Triumph Scrambler 400 X and XC now produce 37PS and 32Nm (3PS and 5.5Nm lower)

  • While the Thruxton produces 40PS and 32Nm (down by 2PS and 5.5Nm)

  • Lastly, the Speed T4 now makes 29PS and 31Nm (2PS and 5Nm less)

  • Kerb weight is the same at 180kg for T4, 179kg for Speed 400, 183kg for Thruxton, 185kg for Scrambler, and 190kg for the 400 XC

  • Other dimensions like the seat height, fuel tank capacity, and ground clearance remain the same as before

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.

What You Should Know

  • Engine downsized to meet new GST 2.0 regulations for more competitive pricing

  • Performance drop on paper, but expected to feel similar in real use

  • No changes to chassis, suspension, or braking setups

  • Retains the same overall riding experience as before

  • The Speed T4 has the same features as before

Details You Shouldn’t Miss

  • Speed 400, Thruxton, Triumph Scrambler 400 XC and X continue with a USD fork, T4 with a telescopic unit

  • Speed 400, Thruxton, and Scrambler still get features like ride-by-wire and switchable traction control

  • Scrambler continues with the same four colours, a 19-inch front wheel, and switchable rear ABS

  • The bikes now lose the engine immobiliser in India with the 350cc engines

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.

User Reviews

Thanks for making a this good and affordable bike.

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

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

a true scrambler!

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
