Motoring Pulse

Triumph has recently launched its latest motorcycle - Tracker 400 - in India adding to its 400 lineup here. The catch is, the motorcycle sports the new 349cc single (so do all the 400 Triumphs now) derived by shortening the stroke of the original 398.15cc engine.

Triumph took an unexpected decision of downsizing its 400cc engine to 350cc (349cc to be precise), take the benefit of the lowered GST, and reduce the prices of its entire 400cc lineup as a result. As controversial as it may seem, building and selling motorcycles is about running a business as much as it is about passion, especially in the lower segments. This is our first-ride review of the updated Speed 400 with the new 349cc engine.
