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.
