The Triumph 400 twins – Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X – have received their first official price hike after their introductory pricing came to an end earlier this year. Both motorcycles have received a price increase of Rs 1,500, effectively bringing their ex-showroom prices to Rs Rs 2,34,497 and Rs 2,64,496, respectively.
Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X — Still lucrative
The two motorcycles were launched in India last year and the Speed 400 was launched at an introductory price of Rs 2.23 lakh, ex-showroom. The pricing was a shocker for the industry, as the level of finish and what the motorcycle had to offer was a deal too hard to resist.
The Triumph Scrambler 400X was launched later the same year, priced at Rs 2.62 lakh, ex-showroom, again undercutting its competition by a huge margin. Later, post the first 10,000 bookings, the company ended the introductory pricing for the Speed 400, bringing it to Rs 2.33 lakh, ex-showroom. Now, despite their first price hike, the two motorcycles still remain extremely affordable in the segment.
Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X — Specs and competition
The two Triumph 400cc motorcycles are powered by the same 398cc, single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that develops 39.5 bhp and 37.5 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. This is in the same ballpark as its closest competitors, such as the KTM 390 Duke, Bajaj Dominar, KTM 390 Adventure, and the new Royal Enfield Himalayan amongst others.
