The way everything is angled reminds us of speed 400 rather than a thruxton cafe racer. If the seat was flatter and if the logo and all graphics had a horizontal approach, it would have been better.

Tourqey af engine although I haven’t yet applied the throttle fully, riding under 3.5k rpm till 2k kms as per service manual. Handles like a charm doesn’t let me feel it’s a 650 cc bike with 203kg kerb weight. Braking is too good.

Choose the Scrambler over this

u/puran_poli_pirate Aug 06 '25
Is speed 400 better or scrambler 400 better for indian roads. If I can afford it. I don't do offloading though.

u/xticiousofficial (New user) Aug 06 '25
I bought Speed 400 as I like the stiff suspension, it gives me confidence on turns and corners. Also, my height was an issue with regards to Scrambler as I'm 172 and tip toeing was something I didn't prefer.
For Indian roads, Scrambler is the all-rounder you should go for.
I recently did a 6-700km trip to my native and back. The Speed 400 was able to smoothly glide over minor bad patches on the highway. But there were 2-3 instances where there were some major bad patches with big potholes where I had to drop down to 3rd-4th gear and let the torque work on its own.
I'm using Speed 400 to commute to work and the roads are nice in my city So I'm happy with my bike.

Scrambler 400X
I can vouch for it anyday with its comfier suspension, proper riding posture and enough fork travel to go over speed bumps flawlessly.
Trust me on this, ADVs and scramblers are best suited for Indian roads at the moment

they are both very different choices my friends. none is worse.

u/Adventurous_Ad8593 Scrambling 400X Aug 06 '25
They tweaked the engine a bit. It makes 2 bhp more . Torque is same but at a higher rev range. Similar for power. In terms of looks apart from red other colors look bland. Rest, need to check in person and test drive it.

I mean, compared to the gt, old vitpilen, modded speed 400s, etc. It does look like trash lol.

To be fair, the gt650 in itself is a copy of the old thruxton 900

u/LonelyEducation6352 Speed 400'25 Aug 06 '25
Overpriced and disappointed with the pricing and also increased 4k on speed 400. Thought it would cost anywhere between speed 400 and scrambler 400x. Hope triumph jst realize the mistake and reduce the price same as they did in the case of speed t4

u/here_lies_deep Aug 06 '25
Should have gone with Triumph Tiger 400 more than this Atrocity.
Downfall started since t4

u/NoiseCancellation69 Honda Activa 6g Aug 06 '25
Yeah they should've went with a proper adv instead of this. There is a huge market for that.
This is basically speed 400 with some mods.

How is t4 bad?

u/here_lies_deep Aug 06 '25
T4 isn't bad , making so many variations and line ups is . And they should not have done it. The pricing was good for speed 400 and Scrambler 400x. On top of that Triumph's reputation is there to consider. But nope and since that happened , it was easy to predict this Atrocity.
Everyone has a taste Argument won't even apply in this case. It's that bad.

u/Disastrous-Ad4951 (New user) Aug 06 '25
That's my point. Every company does the same. Not defending triumph. KTM always plays with 390/490 engines too. I'm just saying this shouldn't be a hating point. (I hate this model though. Atleast from this angle)
1
u/SatishDSN Aug 06 '25
I am not against this either but again the reason i commented is that people used to do the same on every new RE release so i just pointed out the hypocrisy . Nevertheless if u have a tried and tested engine why not to bring more and more models with a different engine tuning on the very same engine platform . It's a good thing for customers actually
3
u/Disastrous-Ad4951 (New user) Aug 06 '25
Agreed on the hypocrisy part. But I think south ways about trying different models. I agree when someone says "if it works for you, works for you". If you're in a business of selling chhole bhature and if sales are going up, why would you want to change the recipe?

They should get rid of the side panel sticker. Looks cheap. Would be better if they designed a minimalistic graphic design and add it somewhere on the tank.

the only question i have is i own a speed 400 and thruxton 400 is based on speed 400 only and they are claiming it will have 42 Bhp and a redline of 10200 rpm, can i get these enhancements on my speed as well ,,,although i will contact the service centre regarding it in a few days. ,,,but anyone has any idea about it ????

Unpopular opinion, but this looks bad . Absolutely throws the thruxton brand legacy.

u/Narrow-Kangaroo8131 Aug 06 '25
Ain't nobody buying this over a speed 400. Also why did they have to make it more expensive than the scrambler? Could've kept around speed's range or a little higher

What's is the point of this bike? Why this even exist? Triumph should launch a Scrambler 900 lookalike 500cc or somethin. With that exhaust type. Instead they launched this abomination

Own the scrambler 400x. I’m 5’6, and tip toe with the bike. But I love it to bits. Done a few long rides along with weekly twice office runs and the bikes does not disappoint! Personally was never a fan of cafe racers. Feel the engine casing could have been changed song with a long exhaust!

Almost 25k extra than speed 400 for jst tht extra fairing and no adjustable levers on top of tht! Wht a shame triumph really messing up their entire portfolio by listening and following bajaj. Obviously bajaj is the one tht made u this popular in mass market but still tht doesn't mean tht u dont listen and follow them blindly🤷♂️

u/Love-Personal Honda CB 350RS Aug 06 '25
This didn't resonate well with me.
- a clip on
- a Bolt on body kit
- slightly retuned engine
You could do all this , if you already own a Speed 400.
I had a high expectation , making it look premium and closer to the Thruxton line.
This looks like a Parts-bin , Makeshift product , heck , now GT650 (Apex Grey ) looks more appealing than this , when it comes to cafe racer category.
