Triumph Tracker 400 vs Speed 400: Top 5 Differences Explained
While both have similar underpinnings, they are quite different from each other
Triumph recently updated its 400 lineup with a downsized 350cc engine, and also launched the Tracker 400. Both bikes are neo-retro roadsters, but with a totally different flavour. Here are the top five differences between these two roadsters:
Engine
Both motorcycles share the same, downsized 349cc liquid-cooled engine, but with different states of tune. The engine in the Triumph Tracker 400 produces 40PS and 32Nm. While in the Speed 400 it makes slightly less power at 37PS, while torque remains the same at 32Nm. In real world riding conditions, the Tracker 400 should feel a bit more livelier and sportier to ride, offering stronger top-end performance and a more rev-happy nature. The Speed 400 should feel more like a relaxed version of the Tracker 400.
Design
The Tracker 400 comes with a flat-track-inspired design with a more aggressive stance, minimal bodywork, and a purposeful, almost race-ready look. It feels modern, edgy, and a bit unconventional.
On the other hand, the Speed 400 sticks to Triumph’s signature neo-retro styling, with its round headlamp, sculpted tank, and clean proportions. It offers a timeless design that should appeal to a wider audience. Here is a quick colours explainer of the Triumph Tracker 400.
Ergonomics
The rider’s triangle plays a huge role in differentiating the experience of these two motorcycles. The Tracker 400 has a wider and lower handlebar, along with slightly rearset footpegs. This setup puts you in a more engaged riding position, making the bike feel more responsive to rider inputs.
In comparison, the Triumph Speed 400 offers a neutral, upright riding posture, and relaxed ergonomics overall. It is designed to be comfortable for daily commuting, longer rides, as well as to have fun around the corners.
Underpinnings
Underneath, both bikes share the same steel tube frame, inverted fork, and monoshock. However, subtle tweaks change the way they behave on the road.
The Tracker 400 uses the same fork as the Speed 400, but with a different tune and with block pattern tyres. Meanwhile, the Speed 400 maintains a more neutral setup, offering stability and predictability. It should be easier to ride and more forgiving overall. The Speed 400 also comes equipped with road biased tyres.
Price
The Tracker 400 is priced at Rs 2.46 lakh, while the Speed 400 sits at Rs 2.32 lakh (both ex-showroom, Delhi). The Tracker 400 is Rs 14,000 more expensive than the Speed 400, and for that extra money you get slightly more power, sportier ergonomics, and a more striking design.
User Reviews
- Absolutely love the bike!Looks and Performance. Checked out a few bikes like the Duke 250 and the V-Storm. But this was much more refined and the best-looking one in terms of class. Fell in love with this after the test drive and decided I have to get this one. Feels a bit expensive, but you will forget the price tag once you own it. It's been amazing, especially on the highways. It's like a rocket on the right roads. The bike handles well in the city. It gets a bit too hot for long rides, but overall no issues. Gives a mileage of 32-33 kmpl on highways and around 20-25kmpl in the city. Would absolutely recommend this bike. If you love riding regularly and want a bike that's good for daily commuting and for long rides, I highly recommend this bike. People who are generally 5 feet 8 inches and above would be more comfortable, although I have noticed people who are much shorter handle it quite well.Read More
- Perfect bike for youngesterLooks like beauty with power. You will feel power when you ride this bike. Vibrations are very low and riding position is also very comfortable. You can easily go for a long drives because of comfortable sitting position. Suspension works very well. I have driven this bike from Patna to new Delhi and felt really comfortable but one minus point I felt is less capacity fuel tank capacity. As the mileage I get is 30 kmpl so If I full the fuel tank then I can go upto 400 kms so to go to Delhi, I had to refuel it for 3 time. I recommend this bike because of its looks the graphics of this bike, the posture of sitting position, the power of this bike, the premium feel of triumph, the quality of triumph, handling of this bike for city as well as long routes.Read More
