New Speed 400 | Features and Benefits

Hi, I'm Grace, and today we're here to take a closer look at a brand new addition to Triumph's modern classics family, the all-new Speed 400. Fluid, easy handling, and an emphasis on fun are built in, together with class-leading capability, rider-focused technology, and category-leading quality and detail. So, let's have a closer look at some of the exciting features of the Speed 400. Developed from the ground up, the all-new 398cc single-cylinder engine delivers Triumph's signature characterful, compelling, and responsive power delivery. And with bright machined cooling fins on the cylinder head, concealed liquid cooling, and Triumph's trademark black powder-coated engine casings, this new engine bears all the hallmarks of Triumph's iconic modern classics range. The engine delivers 37.5Nm of torque and 40PS of peak power for class-leading performance with plenty of character and feel. The bike's ultra-low emissions far exceed the Euro 5 requirements, while retaining that rich, deep Triumph exhaust note from the stylish and contemporary upswept silencer. Ride-by-wire throttle ensures a super smooth and manageable power delivery, while Triumph's advanced switchable traction control improves safety on challenging road surfaces and when riding in varied weather conditions. Triumph's torque-assist clutch also features on the Speed 400, giving a light clutch action with a great lever feel all the way through the slick six-speed gearbox to deliver light, precise gear selection, with ratios perfectly spread to make the most of this characterful and torque-rich engine. Triumph motorcycles are renowned for their easy, fluid handling, and the agile and precise Speed 400 is no different. The chassis making the most of this exciting new engine platform is an all-new frame with a bolt-on rear subframe and cast aluminium swingarm, all designed specifically for the Speed 400. The accessible 790mm seat height paired with the bike's slim waist ensures a generous standover for feet-down manoeuvrability. This makes the Speed 400 manageable and comfortable for riders of all sizes without compromising cornering clearance. The engaging roadster riding position delivers the perfect balance of comfort and control, and there's a relaxed peg position for both the rider and pillion who also has a grab rail. To make the most of the new chassis, a pair of 43mm diameter big piston upside-down forks with 140mm of travel are matched to a rear monoshock making the Speed 400 both comfortable and capable. The bike is fitted with premium-branded dual-compound tyres and the modern 10-spoke design lightweight 17-inch cast aluminium wheels help the suspension react quickly whilst also reducing inertia to really make the most of the 400's inherent agility. A powerful four-piston radial caliper and 300mm disc up front and 230mm disc at the rear benefit from braided brake lines and combine to offer superb feel and stopping power. ABS comes as standard, developed with Bosch. This system adds safety without feeling intrusive or diminishing that all-important connection between rider and road surface. This really is a bike with a fun spirit, sporty yet practical. The Speed 400 comes with a whole host of premium parts to enhance the riding experience. Moving on to the bike's rider-focused technology and starting with the instruments. The classic single-dial design is easy to read with a large analogue speedometer and integrated LCD display which features a clear digital tachometer, a fuel gauge that shows range remaining, average and current fuel consumption, a prominent gear indicator, plus an odometer, clock, service indicator and two trips. The display is also pre-wired to show the status of the heated grips should you wish to add this accessory and navigating all these functions is simple and intuitive via the neat handlebar mounted scroll button. You'll also find a handy USB-C socket conveniently located on the side of the instruments so charging accessories such as smartphones and navigation systems couldn't be easier. The Speed 400 has all LED lighting. The powerful headlight features a distinctive daytime running light with Triumph DRL signature while the taillight also includes a modern light signature together with moulded light guides and Triumph branding. Slim LED indicators complete the package. Visibility is excellent both in terms of seeing and being seen by other road users.
