A Worthy Competitor

THE TRIUMPH SPEED 400 HAS BEEN ONE OF THE most awaited launches of 2023. This is the first product to be born out of the Bajaj-Triumph collaboration and launched at a price of Rs 2.33 lakh (ex-showroom). It has already made waves in our market.

The styling of the Speed 400 follows the silhouette of the bigger Speed Twin models. The bike sports a round LED headlight at the front and a well-finished, 13-litre, metal fuel-tank. Towards the rear, it gets a single-piece seat that tapers upwards for the pillion rider.

Completing the look at the rear end is a sleek LED tail-light unit that has been nicely integrated under the edge of the seat. The Speed 400 rides on 17-inch alloy wheels. The exhaust unit is proportionate to the size of the motorcycle and looks really premium. The dash is a digital-analogue display, the speedometer being an analogue unit with a small LCD display attached to it. This unit displays adequate information which is easy to read.

In terms of features, the bike gets a USB charging port, dual-channel ABS, and traction control, of which the last-named is switchable.

Ducati Revamp Powerful Multistrada 14 S

At face value, it appears Ducati have only mildly tweaked the Multistrada V4 S for 2025, which is why we arrived in Perugia, Italy, a few hours north of Rome, expecting a couple of easy days on the classy adventure-tourer. However, it quickly became apparent that despite only mildly updating the Multi's familiar looks, beneath the bodywork lies a vast number of updates that Ducati hope will make the bestselling Multi (and best-selling Ducati globally) even more versatile than before
