Triumph Speed 400: Design

Conceived and designed in Hinckley, UK, these are instantly recognisable, thanks to the timeless Triumph silhouette, signature sculpted fuel tank and classic engine profile. Traditional touches, like the distinctive finned cylinder head and traditional exhaust header clamps combine with contemporary details like the upswept silencer, bold graphics and sensitively-incorporated technology, such as concealed liquid-cooling and a flowing exhaust run with hidden primary silencer. The Speed 400’s two-tone paint schemes, each featuring a prominent Triumph tank graphic, reflect its dynamic roadster style, with Carnival Red, Caspian Blue and Phantom Black colours available.

Triumph Speed 400: Engine & Gearbox

Powering the motorcycles is an all-new fuel-injected and liquid-cooled 398cc single-cylinder engine with four-valve, DOHC cylinder head and a crankshaft that has been perfectly weighted and balanced to optimise inertia for low-speed rideability. A finger-follower valve train with a low reciprocating mass and DLC coatings that reduce friction. The powertrain develops 40 PS of peak power and 37.5 Nm of max torque. The transmission is a 6-speed unit.

Triumph Speed 400: Suspension & Brakes

The Speed 400 has an accessible 790 mm of seat height, featuring  43 mm big-piston upside-down front forks, a mono-shock Rear Suspension Unit. Powerful four-piston radial front brakes with a 300mm front disc and braided lines give a responsive brake feel for improved rider confidence.
