Triumph Motorcycles India recently unveiled the Speed 400 and the Scrambler 400 X. The all-new Triumph Speed 400 has been launched at Rs 2.23 lakh, ex-showroom & introductory, while the prices of the Scrambler 400 X will be revealed in October 2023. In a recent tweet, a user alleged that some Triumph dealerships are quoting exorbitantly high on-road prices for the Speed 400. Here’s what Bajaj and Triumph said to clear the air on this matter.
Triumph Speed 400 on-road price controversy explained:
Recently, a Twitter user posted an on-road price break-up of the Triumph Speed 400. It created a huge controversy among potential customers because the on-road price was quoted to be Rs 3.38 lakh which is much higher than the Rs 2.23 lakh ex-showroom pricing. Moreover, there were additional costs included such as an intro kit worth Rs 8,500 and Rs 17,000 delivery charge. These inflated prices seemed to be an attempt by dealers to make a fast buck.
