| Bike Cons Text | — | Reduced power & premium components: Compared to the Speed 400, the T4 lacks some features — no ride-by-wire throttle, no traction control, conventional telescopic forks instead of USD forks, and non-radial tyres. Performance compromises: With only 31 PS and 36 Nm, it is less punchy than competitors in the 400cc segment and may feel less exciting when pushed hard. Braking and suspension feedback: Some owners report the front suspension is a bit soft, and the braking or tyres do not inspire full confidence at higher speeds. Premium brand servicing & running cost: While upfront price is competitive, service/parts cost and the premium brand network may still imply higher ongoing costs than mass-segment brands. Weight & urban manoeuvrability concerns: Though seat height is moderate, some users feel the bike is a bit heavy for very tight urban U-turns or slow-speed traffic handling. |
| Bike Pros Text | — | Excellent value for money: The Speed T4 is the most affordable bike from Triumph in India — launched at around ₹ 2.17 lakh ex-showroom. Strong mid-range rideability: While its peak power is lower than its siblings (31 PS / 36 Nm) it is tuned for low to mid-range torque, making it more usable in urban traffic and fewer gear shifts. Signature styling & robust build: It uses the same 398 cc single-cylinder engine as the Speed 400, and retains neo-retro Triumph styling cues which offer premium appeal in this price-segment. Good feature set for the price: You get dual-channel ABS, all-LED lighting, a six-speed gearbox with slipper clutch, and a USB port among other features. More accessible seat height and manageable ergonomics: It has a seat height of about 806mm (vs premium models often taller) and is reasonable for many riders. |

| Overview Manual | — | The Speed T4 is the entry-point in the made-in-India 400 cc series from Triumph, built in collaboration with Bajaj Auto. It carries forward Triumph’s modern-classic styling but tuned to a more accessible price point and relaxed ride character. According to official specs, it uses a 398.15 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC engine that delivers 31 PS @ 7,000 rpm and 36 Nm @ 5,000 rpm. The engine is tuned for better low and mid-range rideability, especially targeted at Indian usage. On the chassis and hardware side: it sits on 17″ alloy wheels front & rear, has 300 mm front / 230 mm rear disc brakes with dual‐channel ABS, a conventional 43 mm telescopic front fork (instead of USD) and a monoshock rear with preload adjustment. Seat height is around 806 mm and wet weight approx 180 kg. Tank capacity is 13 litres. In terms of pricing and value: Originally launched at ₹2.17 lakh (ex‐showroom) in India. Later price revisions lowered it to about ₹1.99 lakh in some cases. Colour options have also been updated with refreshed graphics and finishes. What it does well Affordability & brand access: As Triumph’s most affordable offering in India it opens the brand to a wider audience, giving the neo‐classic premium styling at a relatively accessible price. Beautiful styling & premium finish: Despite the lower cost, it retains the trademark Triumph look—sculpted fuel tank, minimalist modern‐classic silhouette, premium paint and detailing. Good low/mid-range usability: With the engine tuned for torque from low revs (claims like ~85% of peak torque available from ~2,500 rpm) it suits city use well, fewer gear shifts and smoother ride in traffic. Manageable ergonomics: Seat height at ~806 mm is relatively accessible compared to tall scramblers or adventure bikes, making it more friendly for many riders. Modern tech & spec for segment: Features like LED lighting, slipper clutch, dual‐channel ABS, decent chassis hardware give a respectable package for a 400cc neo‐classic. Where it compromises / trade-offs Reduced power & simpler hardware vs bigger siblings: Compared to its sibling (Speed 400) this model has less power (~31 PS vs 40 PS in Speed 400) and simpler suspension/brake/tyre hardware (telescopic fork instead of USD, non‐radial tyres in some cases). Performance may feel modest at higher revs: Some rider feedback notes that while the bike is very usable up to mid speeds, it may lack the punch and high‐end refinement rivals offer. For instance: “the bike feels strained after 6500 rpm … its best to ride between 2000 and 5500.” Premium brand costs & running‐cost expectations: Even though it is the “entry” Triumph, service/parts/maintenance may still cost more than mass market brands. Tank & range limitations: With only 13 litres tank capacity and a 400cc engine tuned for torque, long highway runs may require more frequent fuel stops or careful planning. Some features missing: For instance there is no traction control, ride-by-wire throttle (in T4) which the more expensive sibling offers. These are sacrifices made to hit the price point. In summary The Triumph Speed T4 is a compelling offering if you’re looking for a neo-classic motorcycle that offers strong styling, decent brand cachet, good city usability and manageable ergonomics, all at a price that (in premium bike terms) is relatively accessible. It nails the look, brand tone and day‐to‐day rideability. That said, if your priority is maximum performance, off‐road or weekend sporty riding, or you want the highest spec hardware (suspension, tyres, advanced features), then you may find the T4 is a “good all‐rounder” rather than a “top‐end performance” machine. In that case, consider stretching to siblings/higher models or different bikes. |
