Triumph Motorcycles has launched the new Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X single-cylinder bikes in Malaysia. The Triumph 400 twins are the brand’s most affordable motorcycles globally and were launched in India earlier this year. The bikes are made in India in partnership with Bajaj Auto at its facility in Chakan, Maharashtra. Malaysia is one of the first markets overseas to get the bikes, while the company has confirmed both the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X will arrive in Europe including its home market, the UK, by early 2024.

While the Triumph Speed 400 is more road-biased over the adventure-ready Scrambler 400 X, both bikes share the same engine, semi-digital instrument console, all-LED lighting and a 13-litre fuel tank. Coming to differences, the Speed 400’s design is inspired by the Speed Twin and gets smaller 17-inch alloy wheels with a lower seat height.

The Triumph Scrambler 400 X is inspired by the Scrambler 900 and 1200 and comes with 19-inch and 17-inch rear alloy wheels. There’s also Ride-by-Wire with switchable traction control, while dual-channel ABS is standard with the option to turn off the rear ABS on the Scrambler.

Triumph Scrambler 400 X
Triumph Scrambler 400 X does have more road presence than the Speed 400. This is mostly because of the exhaust, accessories and height.

The 2024 Triumph Speed 400 is priced at 26,900 Ringgit (approx. ₹4.80 lakh), while the Triumph Scrambler 400 X is priced at 29,900 Ringgit (approx. ₹5.33 lakh) in Malaysia. That’s substantially more expensive than the Indian versions. The new Triumph Speed 400 will take on the KTM 390 Duke, Modenas Dominar 400 (Bajaj Dominar 400 in India), BMW G 310 R, Kawasaki Z400 and the like. The Triumph Scrambler 400 X will take on the Royal Enfield Scram 411, BMW G 310 GS, and the upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 in the same space.

The strategy will also help bolster the company’s operations right time for the Triumph Scrambler 400 X’s arrival in two months.

The Speed 400 shares its underpinnings with the Scrambler 400 X

The motorcycle was initially priced at ₹2.23 lakh and the booking amount was set to ₹2,000. However, this was only introductory pricing that is no longer applicable. Apart from the Speed 400, Triumph also showcased the Scrambler 400 X which will be going on sale later in October this year.

The motorcycles will be produced at Bajaj Auto’s new plant in Chakan. It is called Chakan 2 and it will also be producing KTM motorcycles. The company plans to have about 30 outlets, up from the existing 15 dealers by the end of July, moving up to 100 by March 2024.

Powering both motorcycles is a new TR-series engine. It is a 398 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine tuned for 39.5 bhp of max power and 37.5 Nm of peak torque. It comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox with slip and assist clutch.

The motorcycle is equipped with only essential features. It gets dual-channel ABS, switchable traction control and an analogue speedometer with a small digital display that shows various other information but there is no Bluetooth connectivity on offer.
