Is the Triumph Speed T4 What the Speed 400 Should Have Been? | PowerDrift

[@s1bh4mgodfl3shx]

Price doesn't make any sense. Should have been lower priced considering speed was 2.2 lakhs sometimes occasionally and it's superior in everything. Should be around maverick's or hunter range, 1.9-2.05lakhs.

[@jeetmehta8246]

Totally agree with you. Considering the downgrades, especially the power figures, it doesn't justify the price cut of only 20k. Should be around 1.8L. Better to go for speed 400.

[@nitin7218]

They also sell the NS400, I guess they don't want to invade it's space.

[@RAXITH_playz]

You are not wrong but there are people who want a quality and triumph badge.!!

Too many parts were replaced to save that 20k !! Better to go with Speed400 or a meteor

[@powerdriftofficial]

We felt this was a nicer motorcycle to ride

[@_Funonwheels]

​@@powerdriftofficial Considering they launched speed 400 at 2.23 twice. The t4 should have been another 10-12k lower.

[@yash_kambli]

With this kind of downgrades price should be around 1.9 lacs. Don't know whom they are competing with hunter,ns400z or mavrick440?

[@powerdriftofficial]

We believe this was the lowest they could go!

[@mehranshyourcoolbro6417]

Speed 400 was selling for 2.23 in Aug, it's just 6k less than that. Considering this .. T4 is priced bit higher. At this price they should've atleast given better tyres and Traction control

[@AanandSingh-we1th]

I like how Triumph is making the brand accessible! The T4’s simplified design and cost-effective parts really speak to riders looking for quality in a budget

[@AayanGore]

This is going to my go to option definitely as per my preference of simple yet with all features

[@anmolkale16]

The Speed 400 is for people who want an energetic performer , but does not wanna go with KTM's cause of the looks and the reputation. That's the notion I have got from most people in the Triumph groups and the service centers.

[@RajeshSingh-pd3iu]

I agree, it’s a great alternative for those who appreciate quality craftsmanship without the aggressive styling of competitors.

[@aritrabasu4366]

Absolutely. I got the Speed 400, instead of the KTM390 because of the reputation that preceded it a.k.a chhapri!

[@iiSanketRao]

Absolutely, the Speed 400 fills a niche for riders who crave energetic performance but prefer the classic aesthetics and brand reputation that Triumph offers.

[@Proooooooyytrtgbh2479]

Bro even i after seeing this bike i saw the same in it

[@powerdriftofficial]

Ahh haa. Good insight there

[@AnkitAgarwaljii]

The decision to remove unnecessary tech like traction control makes sense for the T4. It’s a bike for riders who appreciate the pure essence of motorcycling.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Well, like VP said - The way it makes all that torque + not the best tyres. TC should have been there.

[@ahamedazaruddheen9611]

Was expecting a CB350RS like performance in the city. But it looks like this is neither a speed 400 nor a city cruise. Will wait for the test ride. Disappointed with three things till now: 1. Stiff rear suspension 2. Drop in braking performance 3. Those cheap looking graphics 😢

[@powerdriftofficial]

The CB feels very very different. Not a good reference point

[@satheeshbalakrishnan1657]

Triumph doesn't want to continue the discounted price of 2.23 for the speed anymore. And if they update Speed and launch at 2.4 it might backfire. So they came up with this idea it seems. And even the new speed doesn't have the chrome silencer, which means Triumph wasn't making much profit with Speed with the launch/discounted price. They wanted to increase the margin of speed and make decent profit from T4.

[@powerdriftofficial]

So some of the things the T4 gets, the new Speed 400 gets too

[@satheeshbalakrishnan1657]

@@powerdriftofficial what are those? May be the blacked out silencer.

[@GilluMamaTravels]

The pricing doesn’t make sense to me. It is a difference of 23k, not a very significant difference. For a price of 2.4 speed is offering better tyres, performance, ride by wire and other hardware. I feel somebody who has a budget of 2.17 can surely extend it to 2.4.

[@powerdriftofficial]

We think so too but for a city ride, the T4 is better

[@suryakantsharma8085]

Speed 400 used to sell at 2.24. Given this misses on USD forks, Traction control, better tyres, even details like immobiliser, and what not. Don’t understand how they managed to bring prices down by only 7k. Price cant be justified by the amount of cost cutting done. And this colour scheme shouts(I am cheap Tirdent) while it should have been a simpler colour complementing the nature of bike. Or maybe they made less margins in speed 400, so they are planning to earn more. But economics of scale could have worked if they even went for 2 lacs.

[@powerdriftofficial]

We are sure there was a lot of talk on pricing.

[@uditrajvanshi3644]

Would have liked to see a mini Trident 400 with slightly modified tank shape and sportier rear end.

[@powerdriftofficial]

But its pretty similar no?

[@AmanRahejaji]

This new Triumph Speed T4 really stands out all others in the market be it Hunter/Maverick/CB 350. With its 400cc engine and lightweight design, it offers a perfect balance of performance and comfort, and the T4 feels more agile and accessible. Plus, the smooth suspension and optional ABS add to its appeal for everyday riding.

[@powerdriftofficial]

The T4 is a nice motorcycle for sure

[@powerdriftofficial]

We agree

[@dheerajvanamala]

Putting on the fork protectors on it(like the ones on speed twin 900) would make it look much better than it is rn

[@powerdriftofficial]

Ohh! That would be lovely.

[@dheerajvanamala]

@@powerdriftofficial I would suggest anyone buying a t4 to do that mod as soon as you buy one. And that would make it look better than the speed 400 imho(considering you ignore the flashy stickering😅😅😅)

[@Dushyant933]

To be honest, I'm kinda disappointed on this bike. First, I thought it would have the design dna from the T100 and the T120. Second, they shouldn't have removed the immobilizer for cost cutting as it's an anti-theft system that prevents from getting stolen. Third, it would have been better if they had added fork gaiters on the RSUs so as to avoid fork seals getting damaged or to avoid dust accumulation.

[@powerdriftofficial]

So you are right! They have built this to a cost. There is a fork shield of sorts but its not the most appealing thing to look at and we aren't sure about functionality too.

[@IAaradhyaSingh]

The updated color schemes and design elements on the T4 are stunning! Nothing flashy yet fits right 💯

[@powerdriftofficial]

Couldn't agree more!

[@pranjal514]

What I love about the T4 is its versatility. It caters to a wide range of riders-whether you’re a newcomer or someone with years of experience.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Someone with years of experience might get bored with the T4. Its not exciting power. Its more relaxed.

[@utkarsh1149]

[@THE_ROCCO_SINCE_1993]

Product is good but if we compare with new speed speed is value for money, atleast t4 should use traction control and new radiel tyre,,

[@vaibhavkamble5743]

Triumph T4 VS Hero MAVERICK 440 comparison much needed

[@powerdriftofficial]

For sure

[@rohanupadhyay127]

love the idea. speed400 but cheaper, could be huge if done right. hate the price, a 40k difference doesnt justify all the downgrades to me.

[@iVivaanhere]

Its simpler setup means lower maintenance and reliable performance, which is crucial for anyone commuting regularly.

[@powerdriftofficial]

The maintenance is still the same. Replacement of parts is where the major price difference has come from

[@Raju-zg5xd]

For urban riders, the T4’s handling and ground clearance are ideal, making daily ride smooth and enjoyable

[@powerdriftofficial]

Yes indeed!

[@npmotortech]

A 1.99 lakh rupees price tag would've been justifiable because a LOT of useful equipment have been removed but the price hasn't been decreased accordingly 😅

[@powerdriftofficial]

[@rkvrakav]

This was to overcome the heating issues so that you can ride longer as well as the better city commuter too also better mileage... This will make it more cheaper than Speed 400 in longer run... Don't forget RE and Honda's have power figures even lesser than this... In my opinion the price is damn competitive and better for the cuts and additional values it provides...

[@powerdriftofficial]

It still is a very good deal

[@lupus7169]

Understanding the video, the major competition to this will be Mavrick. Very similar in character

[@powerdriftofficial]

Not really! Triumph still wants to eat into the Classic 350 sales

[@lupus7169]

@@powerdriftofficial true but I guess the ride quality will be similar to Mavrick with that 6th gear to notice

[@RajeevKumar-hl2up]

In my opinion, it stands out against the Hunter 350, which, while stylish, doesn’t quite match the T4’s performance features like the 6-speed gearbox. This gearbox gives the T4 a significant edge in terms of responsiveness and allows me to enjoy highway cruising without constantly shifting. It makes long rides feel effortless, which is a huge plus.

[@powerdriftofficial]

It does. But it also sits at a relatively higher price point

[@abhi_sh3_k]

Its an alternative to the CB350RS/Hunter but I think in a few months time it will come down in price As a side note, is the 400X and Duke 390 a good option for exploring India? I really like the 390 with its features and performance but that exhaust gives me anxiety 😓. Will it be an issue in areas clogged with water? If it is then I'll just take the feature hit and get the 400X

[@powerdriftofficial]

I really like the 400X! So bloody versatile. The 390 Duke feels a little too small for my frame but I will suggest one thing. Wait for the 390 Adv if you really have touring on the top of your list - VP

[@IM_RishavSingh]

For the less electronics and cost cutting the price difference is very high should've Been 20k more cheaper bcoz on road its gonna cost almost 2.60 which is not cheaper 2.40 on road was the sweet spot.

I was in dilemma between Husqvarna vitpilen 250 and this bike. After reading reviews for both, I'll just go for the vitpilen.

Speed 400 was already very tractable in the city. Triumph could have reworked on the Speed 400 to iron out the vibes at higher rpms so that, it could cruise at high speeds on the highways. Anyways, They made an already value for money motorcycle more accessible by making compromises :(
