Triumph 350cc Motorcycles- Top 5 Big Changes Explained
Triumph has launched its new 350cc lineup in India, replacing the existing 400cc models. This strategic shift comes in response to the GST 2.0 regulations introduced last year, making the brand to offer more competitive product with slight reduce in powertrain and pricing while maintaining its performance-focused appeal.
Triumph 350cc Motorcycles: Top 5 Changes
The retro 350cc segment is largely dominated by Royal Enfield. By bringing a 350cc Triumph Motorcycles at more affordable pricing and high power output makes them more competitive. Here's a look at the top 5 changes introduced in these new models.
Engine Capacity Change
The biggest update is the reduction in engine capacity, which now stands at 349cc, down from 399cc. The stroke has been shortened to 56.1mm, while the bore remains unchanged at 89mm.
This change enables Triumph to benefit from the new GST 2.0 norms, which impose a 40% tax on motorcycles above 350cc, while those below attract just 18% tax-resulting in better pricing.
Performance and Power Outputs
The revised engine has led to changes in performance figures across the lineup. The base T4 now produces 29 PS of power and 31 Nm of torque. The Speed 400, Scrambler 400, and Scrambler 400X deliver 37 PS and 32 Nm of torque.
Meanwhile, the semi-faired Thruxton and the newly introduced Tracker 400 produce 40 PS and 32 Nm of torque. All models continue to use a 6-speed gearbox paired with a slip-and-assist clutch for smoother gear shifts and better rideability.
New Tracker 400 Launch
Triumph has expanded its lineup with the introduction of the performance-focused Tracker 400. This new model features a unique handlebar setup, specially designed tyres, and a more aggressive, off-road-ready stance.
Its design draws inspiration from flat track racing motorcycles, featuring a headlight cowl and a rear seat cowl for a sportier appeal. Most of its components are shared with the Scrambler 400X. The Tracker 400 is offered in Racing Yellow, Aluminium Silver Gloss, and Phantom Black colour options.
400 Branding Retained
Despite the reduction in engine capacity, Triumph has retained the "400" branding across the lineup. This approach is not uncommon in the motorcycle industry. Models like the Dominar 400, NS400Z, and KTM RC 390 continue to carry their respective badges despite having slightly lower engine capacities.
Retaining the "400" tag helps position these motorcycles as more premium and performance-oriented compared to rivals like Royal Enfield's 350cc range and Honda's CB350 series, while still offering stronger performance figures.
