350cc Triumph Bikes Get Another Price Hike; Speed T4 Up By Rs 10,000!
Some models now cost more than their former 399cc versions!
Barely a month after revising prices across its 350cc motorcycle range, Triumph has announced another round of price increases for all six models. This is the second revision since the brand downsized the platform from 399cc to 350cc in April, following the GST rate reduction.

With the latest hike, the Speed T4, Scrambler 400 XC and the Thruxton 400 now cost more than they did when they were equipped with the larger-capacity engine.
Every Model Sees A Price Increase
Unlike the previous price revision, in which the Scrambler 400 X and the newly introduced Tracker 400 escaped without changes, this latest update affects the entire lineup. The hikes range between Rs 3,000 and Rs 10,000 depending on the model.
The biggest revision has been applied to the Speed T4. Its asking price has climbed by Rs 10,000, taking it to Rs 2.09 lakh. Compared to its pricing at the beginning of the year, the entry-level Triumph bike is now Rs 14,000 more expensive.
The Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X have each become Rs 6,000 costlier, while buyers looking at the Scrambler 400 XC or the Thruxton 400 will have to shell out an additional Rs 5,000. The Tracker 400 receives the smallest increase in the range, with its price going up by Rs 3,000.
Price Gap Widens Since The 350cc Transition
When Triumph downsized the engine from 399cc to 350cc in April, prices across the range were reduced following the GST cut. At the time, Bajaj Auto, which manufactures the motorcycles in India, had also absorbed a part of the increased production costs to keep prices competitive.
However, after two successive price revisions, first in June and now again, it appears the company can no longer continue absorbing those additional costs. As a result, prices across the entire 350cc lineup have gone up, with some models now costing more than they did before the transition to the smaller-capacity engine.
User Reviews
- New 349cc Speed T4I brought this bike due to specification only, and to avoid a classic because already own a meteor 350. I needed a bike looks like Splendor but perform like a KTM, basically wanted a good street daily commuter. I did have other options like CB350RS, RE Guerrilla, TVS Ronin etc. I did liked the simple look, good specifications on paper and cheapest price in the segment. It's a mix feeling of goodness and regression. The mileage of this bike is 19 to 22kmpl, I never got more than that. Seat and riding posture are very painful due to low height configuration on front side. It should have given a 18 inch tyre instead of 17. The handle bar height should be equal to body. Seat is cheap and uncomfortable but I fixed by my own. Considering a handle bar raiser now but not sure yet. Performance is not equal to the specifications on paper. Feels like an overhyped bike just looks good. It's a big no for daily commute. If you have a collection of bikes and you wanted another one, yes you can go for it. It's really looks good kept in garage. One you ride, you will feel something is missing. Adding to the mileage figure, disappointment will raise more as I spent more price per KM and getting worst experience.Read More
- It is the best.I chose the Triumph Speed 400 for its perfect blend of timeless british styling, refined performance, premium build quality, everyday comfort and the pure joy it brings on every ride. Love it. Try it. The Speed 400 feels smooth, confident and fun on every ride. Whether it's city streets or open highways, it delivers comfort, performance. I smile every time I twist the throttle. You should go for long ride too. I would recommend this bike to everyone who is very keen to riding. Go for the extra aux lights, the present stock one is bit lower side, compare to the cars it is low. Bike is best for daily commute.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
