In a groundbreaking stride for motorcycle enthusiasts nationwide, Triumph, the iconic emblem of British motorcycling heritage, has unfurled its much-anticipated masterpiece, the Triumph Speed 400, onto the canvas of India. A crescendo of anticipation has been met with the global unveiling of the Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X, a duet of two-wheeled symphonies that have set the stage ablaze not just globally, but now, in India’s fervent heart.
Cradled within the sinews of the Triumph Speed 400 is an engineering marvel, a singular engine platform meticulously crafted from the ground up. In a ballet of innovation, the Speed 400 roadster steps into the limelight, forging a kinship with Triumph’s contemporary classic lineup—its siblings being the Speed Twin 900 and 1200. The Scrambler 400 X, echoing the design language of the Scrambler 900 and 1200, adds its own chapter to this saga.
Traversing the realms of tradition and modernity, the Speed 400 dons iconic attributes such as the finned cylinder head, harmonizing with contemporary details like the upswept silencer, understated graphics, and concealed liquid-cooling. A symphony of aesthetic genius is further woven into its DNA, an exhaust run that dances with a hidden primary silencer—an embodiment of the indomitable Triumph modern classic style.
The Speed 400, painted in a duet of two-tone paint schemes, each adorned with a prominent Triumph tank emblem, becomes a living canvas of dynamic roadster allure. Carnival Red, Caspian Blue, and Phantom Black color palettes stand as testaments to its visual grandeur.
Laying bare the all-road spirit, the Scrambler 400 X proudly wears a mantle of practicality. Like a sentinel, it flaunts protective armor for the headlight, radiator, and sump, embellished with handguards, a handlebar brace, and a longer front mudguard—an ode to its wanderlust.
An all-new 398cc single-cylinder engine, anointed with the nectar of fuel injection and liquid-cooling, becomes the heart and soul of these triumphs. It merges Triumph’s signature modern classic ethos with cutting-edge engineering, forging an alliance that births class-defying performance. Its power delivery is a tapestry of responsiveness, thrill, and character, crowned with an exhaust note that’s evocative, rich, and unmistakably Triumph.
Within this mechanical marvel, technical brilliance gleams—four-valve, DOHC cylinder head, and a crankshaft that sways in a perfect equilibrium, harmonizing inertia for low-speed mastery. The valvetrain, featuring a finger-follower configuration with a featherweight mass, coupled with friction-reducing DLC coatings, culminates in an engine that marries free-revving prowess with tractable dominance.
The canvas of features weaves an intricate mosaic:
- Ride-by-wire throttle for precision and control
- Switchable Traction Control for both Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X
- Dual-channel ABS, with an off-road switch for Scrambler 400 X’s adventurous spirit
- Torque-assist clutch, a symphony of rider-friendly engineering
- Dual format instruments, marrying style and functionality
- All-LED lighting, illuminating the path ahead with brilliance
- Immobiliser, a guardian of security
In an artful waltz of competition and allure, both the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X extend a siren call with their enticing price points. Triumph’s overture of beauty, power, and performance weaves into a harmonious composition, one that’s poised to alter the tapestry of Bangladesh’s motorcycle landscape. As the engine capacity limitations might be lifted, these motorcycles could become the heralds of joy for Bangladesh’s motorcycling aficionados—a true game-changer poised to etch an indelible mark upon the nation’s motorcycling saga.
