Triumph has finally dropped their 400cc middleweight machines – a pair created in collaboration with Bajaj Auto, primed to beef out the “Modern Classics” Line.*

Ladies and gentlefolk, meet the 2023 Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X.

Designed in Hinckley, UK, and produced in India, the dynamic duo are both powered by a 398.15cc, liquid-cooled, 4-valve, DOHC, single-cylinder heart capable of 39.5hp (40PS) @ 8,000rpm and 27.7ft-lb @ 6,500rpm.*

By the way, both bikes feature the same LED lighting, as well as identical 17” rear cast aluminum alloy wheels and a nice 13-liter fuel tank.
