2023 Triumph Speed 400 - India's Most Detailed Ride Review

Triumph has just launched the Speed 400 built by Bajaj here in India at an unbelievable price tag of INR 2.23 lakh onwards as an introductory offer. This is unmatched value as per segment standards. But is this a good motorcycle to ride? Watch our detailed ride review video and share your opinion in the comments below...

Tractability is what is important in Indian roads...thats why it's better than KTM

[@rafaelherdeiro572]

Great review! Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

Excellent review, very comprehensive & detailed about all facets of the bike.Helpful innmsking an informed decision about the bike, keep up the great work.

[@srinathtg4623]

Excellent review and some of the points mentioned are really valuable. Nobody mentioned about the occasional snatchy throttle response which I suspected with a ride by wire setup. Very few people have commented on the buzz around 6k rpm, most in fact claim it's very smooth, so you deserve appreciation for your honesty. If it starts coming around 100 kmph, then it's certainly something to think of during long highway rides. And the fact that if one can extract more than 30kmpl from the bike then one is not doing justice to what the bike is capable of is another important observation from you. I come from Honda 160 segment and thinking of cb350, so buzzing around 100 and above in highways and economy dropping below 30 in spirited city rides are both negatives when compared to cb350 I feel. And being a high compression engine, the heat factor you mentioned will also be something to contend with in city peak hour traffic conditions. So while the price is compelling, the vfm factor with the features on offer is very attractive, there are these factors mentioned above to consider before taking the plunge. With all the power on offer, with the torque spread and nimbleness on offer, it will be very difficult and a shame to be sedate on this bike. Excellent review I should say, I wish more people view this. Also, I wish I was 20 years younger and petrol was cheaper 😎

I haven't watched his review. Just want to remind you though, your age is in a lot of ways in your hands. And one can have fun at any age. :)

[@srinathtg4623]

@@sanketjain9320 hi, I agree with you. I'm 51 and I recently went from Bangalore to Goa and back on my 160cc unicorn just to check my bike's and my endurance. That's when I wished I had a bigger bike but I'm not comfortable with a bent knee or rear set foot pegs for long rides. That's why I mentioned age. My heart and mind are younger than my knees. You'll know when you get there 😎

[@sanketjain9320]

@@srinathtg4623 Wonderful! So good to know that! I have long legs and one thing i find quite helpful on tours is to rest my legs on the crash guards every once a while. Another thing that you can try would be to put a air cushion on top of the seat, to reduce the angle of your bent leg.

[@pious708]

Confused to buy cb350RS and speed400, I am short 5,2- what you suggest

[@shanesahilreddyudumula]

overall speed400 is way better. but i think u may not feel comfortable due to your height. just take a test ride once if its ok then go for the speed 400

[@auto_nomad]

Your reviews are always all round! Btw what can be the service cost of this machine?

[@tejaspatani7275]

Wow helped so much and amazing detailing of details 💙💚💙💚

[@SHIFTINGGEARScom]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ramudas218]

Great review! Would you suggest this bike to an absolute beginner? Someone who has a height of 5' 4". Or something like a Ronin is better?

[@SHIFTINGGEARScom]

Yes, absolutely! This is much better than a Ronnin, in all aspects. For your height, won't be a major issue at all.

[@ramudas218]

@@SHIFTINGGEARScom Thank you. Appreciate your response!

[@ashutoshkhedwal1280]

Hey do you have a bike riding experience before? Even I’m a beginner (have good scooter experience though). I’ve been considering speed 400 and cb 350 rs too

[@ramudas218]

@@ashutoshkhedwal1280 No, I did not. But since the time I asked that question, I have already bought Ronin 225, and I'm very happy with it.

[@aditya.ishan27]

Really well rounded review man... Covering all the aspects of the riding and maturely in a sensible fashion laying them down. Really impressed.

[@atishmandal1225]

2x playback speed would be more engaging.😂

[@sharadvala6806]

What about mileage of this bike ...

[@tejeshs3646]

28-30

[@abhishakemoo1271]

Now, I can own a Harley, one Triumph, BMW and a Norton(not released yet) in one life.

Is it really 158mm? I read it somewhere that it is 140mm.

This bike looks exactly like CT 100😂

[@jithendranb4090]

its a dominar engine with severe vib at higher rpm then whts there in it for tractabality

[@SurajSinghTomarArya]

It's not a dominor engine. Literally every review mentioned that, ask a mechanical engineer why those two aren't same engines. As for traceability this has bigger stroke than KTM 390 & Dominor which gives better low end. 80% of its torque is available at 3k RPM.

[@Ahmed-jv7oc]

You make zero sense

[@jithendranb4090]

u first make a ride on domimar and speed then tell if t experience is same or not. dominar engine is actually ktm. it has ktm badging on it

[@jithendranb4090]

In which manner did u ever ride dominar. ride it and speed then u can feel t same character of t engine. man a new engine with a triump chasis will cost more than 4 lak

[@Ahmed-jv7oc]

@@jithendranb4090 yes the ktm and dominar share the same engine. But this engine Is COMPLETELY different. The only similarity is the bore size. Broo anyone with common sense will tell this is a different engine altogether

[@jithendranb4090]

u just ride dominar and speed then review

[@indiakarnan]

He is a fool fellow to do this bike review, 😂

Speak in either English or Hindi. It's irritating to hear the mixed languages from start to end

[@srinathtg4623]

One is national language and another is almost international language, so I guess you should use this excuse and do some contextual thinking with your interest in bikes to learn some Hindi. His Hindi as it is has a heavy south Indian accent, so I guess he's doing his best to speak in Hindi to cater to a larger audience.

[@suryakathiravan]

@@srinathtg4623 First of all there is no National language for India which is a fact you should understand. Hindi is just another official language like many other languages in India.
