2024 Triumph Speed 400 Review | Shot in Thailand!

Jinno finds himself on a trip to Thailand covering what could potentially be one of the best beginner bikes of 2024. It's only the start of the year, and we've got one heck of a bike on this episode of Beyond the Ride. The Triumph Speed 400 is the smallest Triumph in its lineup, but is it any good? Let's give you a proper review in another country, and let's wring out its single-cylinder engine with Jinno. Let's also answer the question, is it worth getting? Keep it pinned on this video to find out!

A few months ago I commented on this video about deciding whether to get this bike.. Oh well, I got it about a week ago and I'm having fun so far. Riding it late at night in highway to avoid checkpoints and do some break in, coz you know haven't had my ORCR yet. Pretty much enjoyable and capable bike.

[@JCrozier1]

i like it alot. i'm glad you got to ride one. I think you are one of my favorite reviewers for bikes like this. (i'm in the US, everyone wants a big one)

[@MotoDealPh]

Thank you, glad you enjoy our videos!

[@JCrozier1]

@@MotoDealPh just saw the scrambler part got released today. Can't wait to watch it.

[@_Hidy_Ho]

I'm hoping you will review Kawasaki Eliminator 400/450/500 as well as CFMOTO 450 cl-c. Neither are retro-style but similarly displaced CCs and price point.

[@jinnorufino3796]

CLC is after the triumph 400s

[@posadasjustin]

Revzilla took it to the highest motorable road, and it survived the trip! Well, the second generation husqvarna 401s will be a close competition than the gen 1s.

[@tombombadilofficial]

They did. Probably not the best bike for the task but it can be done.

[@the_winged_helm]

​@@tombombadilofficial the Scrambler 400x would probably be the right pick for such a ride with it's higher gc, long travel suspension, 19 inch front wheel and mild steel (more malleable) components instead of forged aluminium.

[@jinnorufino3796]

I took the Himalayan scram there, I wish I was on the scrambler X instead

[@posadasjustin]

@@jinnorufino3796 I wish you were too. Para may motodeal review ulit 😄

[@tombombadilofficial]

@@jinnorufino3796looking forward to the Highest Road Redux with the Scrambler X.

[@lalalanster]

Can we have a comparo with the speed 400, duke 390, svartpilen 400, and dominar 400? 😆

[@jinnorufino3796]

Great idea!

[@oreokisses7471]

Shorter riders or more vertically challenged riders like Caco Tirona😅😅😅

[@the_winged_helm]

Regarding the competition, the updated Husky 401 would be a close competitor since it is larger then the previous gen. But that Duke 390 engine is more suited to spirited riding compared to the Triumph. You'll need to rev the Husky to get to the power, while the Triumph delivers 80% torque from 3k rpm. Also, RE has started testing the Hunter with the Sherpa 450 engine from the new Himalayan. This would be on par with the Speed 400 in terms of power and probably be its main rival.

[@CGB65]

One of the most thorough and best reviews I have seen of this bike. Sub'd.

[@jinnorufino3796]

Much appreciated

[@keanesee01]

That might’ve been my first bike if I started on motorcycles now.

[@jinnorufino3796]

Me too

[@2.0.1.0.]

299 after 6 months this will be 350.

[@leonard_14]

Probably, it's already at 339k 🥴

[@larryparson9609]

Triumph expensive $ maintenance $$ Harley like $ premium like trying to squeeze your wallet 😢 always

[@koniggigih1]

You guys filipinos have it easy on pricing. Here in indonesia the price will be USD9k++ lmao. I’m jealous with the pricing outside my country

[@vlogmotofi4752]

Currently looking for my first big bike and after watching your review on speed 400 im starting to love it. Do you recommend speed 400 to beginners as their first bike? Great video and review! Ride safe!

[@Danny-ux1il]

My first comment is about the high gearing. Some reviewers have mentioned this and I found it to be true when I test-drove a 400 today. the sudden surge of power taking off in 1st gear and the shift to second. No problem like that with my RE 350. It is smooth and gives me the feeling of being in control. The Triumph is jerky in acceleration. None of the reviewers, and only one commentor that I have seen so far has mentioned the possibility of acquiring a lower-ratio rear sprocket to smooth out the acceleration and also to allow the engine to run at lower rpm's at highway speed. Secondly about the maintenance period. The fact that Triumph recommends 10,000 Km. between maintenance check-ups does not tell me their bike is better. It could be that Triumph stock-holders want to save money where they can and increase profits without regard to the potential harm that could befall the customers who put their faith in the company.. For myself, if I decide to go with the Triumph I will certainly get the oil changed more often than 10,000 km and have the chain tension checked and the tire pressure set to factory standards more often than that. Any engine is going to have metal wearing off of the rings during the first couple hundred miles and the brakes have to set in and if there are flaws in the tires they should be found out sooner rather than later. It doesn't matter that you have a nice red paint job if the engine seizes up or the cut-out switch activates itself at some critical time.

[@tombombadilofficial]

Triumph? Diba panty at bra ginagawa nila? Meron dito factory nyan dati sa Cavite. Gumagawa pala sila ng motor? Hehehe.

[@jinnorufino3796]

🤪

[@hoymikey]

Great review, looks, sound, power and safety all reasonable for its price.hmm...😅 here we go again

[@Ongsansoy]

Will be getting one in July... Been looking forward to this one... 2 bikes I considered, the coming 2024 KTM Duke 390 or This one... I was surprised by the price, looks like it'll be the speed 400... Only thing that'll change my mind if Yamaha comes up with a 300cc or 400cc version of the XSR 150... I was really hoping they place the MT03 engine in a XSR 150 frame...

[@jinnorufino3796]

It’s a great choice

[@molonlabe9602]

Agree about the XSR 155 format with the MT03 engine. I would have bought that in an instant. Instead, I am in the queue to purchase a Speed 400 in March.

[@bilziboi]

I was considering the xsr155. but after watching a lot of speed 400 reviews, I need to grind more to be able to buy this instead.

[@molonlabe9602]

Good choice. XSR 155's are nice but be patient and get the bigger engine Speed 400.

[@rishibhargav5161]

it is an amazing bike to ride in the city and to go on a highway rides and sits at 80 to 100 kmph comfortably it feels like it is made for Indian roads

[@franzb69]

it's just the suck ass brake masters royal enfield uses. it's not the caliper's fault.

[@jinnorufino3796]

Likely yes

[@moogle9740]

5:20 lmao. I'm dead 😂😂😂 I hope Caco watches this.

[@jinnorufino3796]

🤪

[@tojilumanogjr.4498]

For the bybre brakes, it’s most likely because of the 200+kg weight of the re650 vs the triumph 400’s 170kg

[@jinnorufino3796]

That’s probably a factor

[@michelleblattler4708]

I think this will b perfect for me. Love the looks and size. Can't wait to get one!

[@engr.luislapuz8898]

if you are looking for a solid bike review I highly recommend Si Boss Jino and si Jao Moto

[@jinnorufino3796]

🙌🏾

[@Askalmoto]

Got mine

[@mahdavimail]

I watch your reviews from Canada and love your reviews. What's the recommended fuel for these? I guess these need premium fuel in North America with that so high compression ratio and it's a very bad point for these nice Triumph 400s!

[@captainnemo8072]

Normal petrol is fine, they are global bikes after all.

[@JCSantamarina]

Noice! Can’t wait to try this out - Scrambler 400x version!

That rear frame seems like it could be change, maybe a future cafe racer frame

[@kelvinhii939]

If you make a drinking game where you take a shot everytime Jinno says "a little bit", you'll get blardy wasted

[@leeinwis]

blardy 🤔🤔.

[@SonnyReduja]

I'm planning to get Yamaha xsr 155 in April. I already set my mind to that bike but boy speed 400 made me think twice. It's about 300k in the Ph vs 182k xsr 155. There's not much difference in price and speed 400 is expressway legal and the fuel consumption is actually fair for this bike that you can use it for everyday ride. I don't know about how the maintenance would cost though, because xsr 155 is such cheap bike to maintain. Damn this this is difficult.

[@jinnorufino3796]

💪🏽

[@molonlabe9602]

Spend the difference if you can afford it. You'll be happier over the long time with the Speed 400 and it's expanded capabilities over the XSR 155.

[@Marbeary]

The price is really good also highway legal.

[@Shr1nkk]

ano po experience difference po pag mag upgrade ng speed 400 from xsr 155? beginner rider po, first bike ko yung xsr 155 ko. 1yr palang nag m-motor. Ty

[@antoniiocaluso1071]

[@fat_rider8683]

Nice review again Jinno, how does it compare to the Trident? Hope you can also do a review for the 2024 Duke 390

[@TheBluebiker]

Triumph has a gift in making bikes where the numbers eg power. toque are lower than some but at the same time more useable in the real world . Great review by the way

[@darenc2949]

why they not used a twin cylinder for this?

[@neildutton8077]

How many near misses did you have with the locals?😀😂

[@snakepitsam]

Speedo error at at 160kmph where GPS speed is 140kmph is way too much. Even my 2013 CB400F speedo at 170kmph is still at 160kmph GPS

[@molonlabe9602]

Manufacturers build-in speedo errors so they don't have speeding fines liability. There's products that will correct that if they make it for your model. One I can think of is Speedo Healer. They work well.

[@lancelotray]

I think you just talked me into buying one... thumbs up

Thank you Jinno for a detailed review. I'm convinced to choose this bike.. 😊

[@khndaria]

now im thinking about buying this as my 1st big bike

[@animat126]

Nice detailed review. 👍 I love the comfortable ride. The CB300R is a quite close competition with its similar power to weight ratio.

[@molonlabe9602]

True Honda has a .0983, and the Triumph has a .105. But adding a rider slowly increases the difference as the rider gets heavier, which is a real world comparison.

[@noahlapuz3853]

Just dreaming atm. Great presentation!

[@hellstrike007]

Jinno, how does this back stack against KTM Duke 390 and Kawasaki Z400?

[@captainnemo8072]

[@Zipking20]

Seat heights the problem

[@molonlabe9602]

@398cc it's not considered a "big bike" in Thailand so no special license needed. Expecting mine in March. Royal Enfields are garbage, a 20HP 350cc engine...555.

[@the_winged_helm]

RE is already testing out the Hunter with the Sherpa 450 engine from the new Himalayan. That would be much closer competition to the Speed 400.

[@molonlabe9602]

@@the_winged_helm The only RE I would ever begin to consider is a used Interceptor. And only if I was expecting to do a tremendous amount of long range riding. The bigger engine Interceptor running at lower RPM would be suitable for that. The seat would have to be changed 1st, adding to the cost.

[@the_winged_helm]

@@molonlabe9602 yeah, I like the Interceptor too. Not practical for my usage which consists of 98% traffic congestion infested city commute, so opted for the Speed 400 instead. But the RE 650 engine is really good for relaxed cruising. I only mentioned the upcoming Hunter since you were talking about the RE 350 engine.

[@n9inz8icht10]

that's a stretch to say everything is from ground up considering that the engine's highly similar to that of ktm 390's, they're basically siblings with different fathers (their brands) 😂

[@the_winged_helm]

The engines are very different between the Triumph 400s and the KTM 390s. The Triumph has 80% torque available from 3k rpm. It is smooth till 6k rpm, then starts getting vibey. The KTM starts delivering torque post 5k rpm, below which it has vibes. Post 6k rpm, it is smooth. The Triumph delivers power linearly while the KTM has more peaky power delivery which is suited for more spirited riding.

[@n9inz8icht10]

@@the_winged_helm you do realize that's just different tuning not 'different engine' yes?

[@the_winged_helm]

@@n9inz8icht10 final drive is on the other end too, which is a significant difference. Bajaj would surely have used their learning from the KTM engines development, like borrowing the bore and stroke figures. But saying it is the same engine is incorrect.

[@adamlanglois563]

I wonder how it would respond to a tune and a less restrictive exhaust?

[@lackoflove2803]

lucky indians most of motorcycle prices are low.

[@the_winged_helm]

All thanks to Bajaj for the collaborations. But twin/three/four cylinder motorcycles are very expensive since they are mostly CBUs

Bro as an Indian i will not say lucky but speed 400 roughly costs around 200k pesos with taxes Scrambler 400 250k pesos .

Which is much better 450 cl-c or speed 400?
