Triumph completed one year of its partnership with Bajaj Auto in India last month. In July last year, Triumph launched its first locally developed and manufactured motorcycle in India with the Speed 400. This was followed by the Scrambler 400 which was launched in September. Both bikes have found reasonable success in the Indian market as well as international markets.
Over 50,000 units of both models, all produced in India, have been sold globally till date. Priced at Rs 2.34 lakh and Rs 2.54 lakh (both ex-showroom), respectively, the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 were given a Rs 10,000 discount when Triumph clocked a year with Bajaj. The British brand has now announced an extension of this offer by another month.
Both Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 will be available in Rs 2.24 lakh and Rs 2.54 lakh (both ex-showroom), respectively till 31 August 2024. Triumph first showcased its 400cc motorcycle prodigies on 27th June 2023 in London to a global audience. They were launched in India in July 2023 and received an overwhelming response, with 10,000 bookings within the first ten days.
Currently Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 are available across 100 dealerships in 75 cities across the country. Besides India, both motorcycles are exported to over 50 countries. The 100th Triumph showroom was opened in Dehradun last weekend.
