Triumph Set to Introduce New 400cc Models This Festive Season

Triumph Motorcycles is gearing up to expand its lineup in India with two new 400cc models during the upcoming festive season (October – November 2024). This move aligns with earlier statements from Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director of Bajaj Auto, who mentioned that Triumph plans to introduce a new motorcycle annually for the next three years. One of the anticipated models is the Triumph Thruxton 400, which has been spotted undergoing tests. It features a café racer design with a frame-mounted half-fairing, clip-on handlebars, bar-end mirrors, and rear-set footpegs. The Thruxton 400 is expected to be powered by the same 398.15cc engine found in the Speed 400, delivering 40PS and 37.5Nm. Pricing is anticipated to be around ₹2.62 lakh (ex-showroom), similar to the Triumph Scrambler 400 X.

In addition to the Thruxton 400, Triumph may also release a faired and an unfaired version of this model, along with a second new motorcycle, though details about this are still scarce. This strategy will provide a range of affordable options, enhancing Triumph’s competitive edge in the sub-450cc retro roadster market, where competitors have so far introduced only one model and have not disclosed future plans.
