Triumph Speed 400 News - Latest Updates

The biggest news for the Triumph Speed 400 in 2026 is the engine change. In April 2026, Triumph India discontinued the original 398cc variant and launched a revised 349cc version at Rs 2,31,890 - Rs 7,110 cheaper than the outgoing 400cc model's final price. The engine change was driven by India's GST structure: motorcycles under 350cc attract lower taxation, making the re-engineered unit financially advantageous for buyers. The bore was reduced from 89mm × 64mm (398cc) to 89mm × 56.1mm (349cc), with power dropping slightly from 40 PS to 37 PS. In real-world riding, the difference is imperceptible for most use cases.

Prior to the engine change, the Speed 400 received a spec update in 2024 that brought revised suspension tuning for Indian road conditions, along with new colour options. The original 2023 launch saw waiting periods stretch to four months at popular dealerships due to overwhelming demand - a sign the Rs 2.23 lakh introductory price had resonated strongly with Indian buyers.

On the accessories front, Triumph expanded the official Speed 400 catalogue through 2024-25, adding touring-spec luggage, tank bags, and comfort-focused seat options. Bajaj's service network continues to support Triumph's dealer expansion, with new Triumph Retail outlets being added in tier-2 cities.

A further price revision of Rs 5,000-10,000 is expected from June 2026 - if you're planning to buy, doing so before then may save you money.

Official Updates (4)

  • Triumph India is expected to raise prices on its entire 350cc lineup - including the Speed 400 - by Rs 5,000-10,000 from June 1, 2026. The hike was announced by a Mumbai dealership (Shaman Triumph) on social media but has not been officially confirmed by Triumph Motorcycles India or Bajaj Auto.

  • Triumph India officially launched the 2026 Speed 400 with a 349cc engine on April 6, 2026, priced at Rs 2,31,890 (ex-showroom) - a reduction of Rs 7,110 over the outgoing 398cc model. The bike produces 36.4 bhp and 32 Nm (down 3 bhp and 5.5 Nm), retains identical styling and all four colour options, and continues to carry the 'Speed 400' badge.

  • Units of the 350cc Triumph Speed 400 arrived at dealerships on April 1, 2026 ahead of the official April 6 launch, confirming the identical design, same four colours (Racing Yellow/Pearl Metallic White, Phantom Black/Pewter Grey, Pearl Metallic White/Pewter Grey, Racing Red/Pearl Metallic White), and 'TR Series' engine badging.

  • The 398cc Triumph Speed 400 (along with the Scrambler 400 X and Thruxton 400) has been discontinued in India, with dealers informed that no new production batches of the 400cc lineup are coming. The move is driven by GST 2.0, which raised the tax slab on bikes above 350cc from 31% to 40%, while sub-350cc bikes attract only 18% GST.

For ongoing Speed 400 news, Autocar India, Rushlane, and ZigWheels provide the most timely coverage of price updates, variant changes, and dealer news.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the latest update for the Triumph Speed 400 in 2026?
The biggest 2026 update is the engine change from 398cc to 349cc, which happened in April 2026. The new variant launched at Rs 2,31,890 - slightly cheaper than the outgoing model - and produces 37 PS vs the previous 40 PS. A further price hike of Rs 5,000-10,000 is expected from June 2026.
QIs a new variant or updated model of the Triumph Speed 400 expected?
No new variant or major update has been officially confirmed as of May 2026. The 349cc engine change is the most recent significant update. Triumph India may introduce new colours or minor spec revisions for the 2027 model year, but a fundamentally new version of the Speed 400 is not expected in the near term.
QWhy did Triumph change the Speed 400 engine from 398cc to 349cc?
The engine was downsized to stay below the 350cc GST threshold. In India, motorcycles under 350cc attract lower goods and services tax, which allowed Triumph to pass on cost savings to buyers - the new 349cc variant launched at Rs 7,110 less than the outgoing 398cc model's final price of Rs 2,50,551.
