Triumph Motorcycles has expanded its India portfolio with the launch of the new Triumph Tracker 400, priced at Rs 2.46 lakh, ex-showroom. While the name suggests a 400cc motorcycle, the new model is actually the first from the brand to use a downsized 350cc engine for the Indian market.The Tracker 400 takes clear inspiration from flat track racing, combining retro styling with a sporty stance. It features a round LED headlamp with a small front screen, a flat handlebar and a flat seat. Besides, it gets a rather straight fuel tank, racing-style graphics, a side number board with ‘400’ branding and a twin-can upswept exhaust.
Triumph Tracker 400: Engine specs and hardware
Powering the motorcycle is a new TR-series 350cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 40 PS at 8,750 rpm and 32 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. This downsized engine is aimed at offering better pricing under India’s tax structure for sub-350cc motorcycles.Last year, India revised the GST structure for two-wheelers. Motorcycles with engines above 350cc now attract 40% tax, while those up to 350cc fall under a lower 18% bracket. This shift makes smaller engines more viable, allowing Triumph to price its bikes more competitively in the segment.
On the hardware front, the bike comes equipped with USD front forks and a monoshock at the rear. Braking duties are handled by a 300 mm front disc and a 230 mm rear disc. It also gets features such as switchable traction control, dual-channel ABS and a torque-assist clutch.Stay tuned to TOI Auto for latest updates on the automotive sector and do follow us on our social media handles on Facebook, Instagram and X.
