- Two new 400cc Triumphs expected
- To be based on Speed 400 and Scrambler 400
- Could be introduced in the coming months
Triumph Motorcycles is reportedly working on two new 400cc motorcycles based on the existing Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X. The latter are manufactured in India and sold in global markets.
Now, earlier spy images reveal that one of these bikes would be a café racer, likely named the Thruxton 400. However, the specifics of the other model are currently unknown. Well, the changes to the so-called Thruxton 400 are mainly visual and include a Monza fairing, clip-on bars and a flat grab rail. The test mule sure looked like the bigger Thruxton R but the rest of it like the engine, chassis, wheels and brakes are identical to the Speed 400.
We can also expect the two new motorcycles to use the 399cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that makes 39.5bhp and 37.5Nm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox. While the current 400cc offerings have a semi-digital cluster, ABS, traction control, and ride-by-wire as standard, the new models are likely to offer the same equipment. To optimise the production of the upcoming motorcycles, Triumph, which manufactures in partnership with Indian company Bajaj has made a few changes. The production capacity has increased from 5,000 to 10,000 units with the expansion expected to take place in October 2024.
With that said, Triumph is also expected to unveil the new motorcycles sometime next month. If that happens, we could have the bikes in Australia and New Zealand by the end of this year, just in time for the riding season.
