Biking Gets Deerer: Triumph Hikes Prices of Its Popular 400 Series by Up to ₹5,000

If you have been planning to park a shiny new Triumph motorcycle in your garage, you will need to shell out a little extra cash. Triumph has officially revised the pricing structure for its highly popular single-cylinder lineup in India, implementing a uniform price hike across all four models, including the newly transitioned 350cc platform variants.

Prices have been bumped up by up to ₹5,000, depending on the model. Despite the hike, the range continues to be a massive crowd-puller in India due to its premium brand styling, exceptional fit-and-finish, and punchy performance.

The New Price Sheet: Model-Wise Breakdown

The entry-level barrier has shifted slightly, with the affordable Speed T4 getting its first-ever price correction, while the premium Scrambler and Thruxton variants cross deeper into higher pricing brackets.

Triumph Model Previous Price (Ex-Showroom, Delhi) New Price (Ex-Showroom, Delhi) Net Price Increase
Speed T4 ₹1.95 Lakh ₹1.99 Lakh + ₹4,000
Speed 400 ₹2.32 Lakh ₹2.34 Lakh + ₹2,000
Thruxton 400 ₹2.65 Lakh ₹2.70 Lakh + ₹5,000
Scrambler 400 XC ₹2.89 Lakh ₹2.94 Lakh + ₹5,000

The Shift to the 350cc Platform

This price revision comes on the heels of major internal changes across the lineup, dictated by the industry’s transition to the downsized platform associated with the GST 2.0 norms. While the models retain their iconic "400" badging, the mechanical configurations differ slightly in output compared to their older versions:

  • The Speed T4: Marking its very first price hike since launch, the T4 did not inherently benefit from the platform downsize transition. Paradoxically, the updated 350cc Speed T4 now costs more than the legacy 399cc version that was retailing just a few months ago. It puts out 29 hp and 31 Nm of torque.

  • Speed 400 & Scrambler 400 XC: These mainstream models now generate 37 hp and 32 Nm of torque (a slight drop from the older 40 hp / 37.5 Nm setup).

  • Thruxton 400: Positioned at the top tier of the retro-racer styling, it leads the pack with 40 hp and 32 Nm of torque, putting its baseline performance right on par with the recently debuted Tracker 400.

The Takeaway: While the extra ₹2,000 to ₹5,000 premium might require a slight budget adjustment for prospective buyers, Triumph’s aggressive localization and stellar road presence ensure that the 400 series remains an incredibly compelling, high-value alternative to its premium neo-retro rivals.
