Triumph Motorcycles is gearing up to bolster its 400cc portfolio in India with two new models – the Scrambler T4 (expected October 2025) and a Bonneville-inspired retro – both leveraging the brand’s proven 398cc platform. Here’s what riders can anticipate:

1. Scrambler T4: Festive Season Launch

Key Features (Based on Spy Shots):

  • Design: Bench seat, block-pattern tires, USD forks, 17-inch alloys, mini windscreen

  • Engine: 398cc liquid-cooled single (likely retuned from Speed 400’s 39.5 bhp)

  • Target Price: ~₹2.6L (ex-showroom) – undercutting Scrambler 400 X (₹2.63L)

  • Positioning: Affordable entry into Triumph’s scrambler lineup

Why It Matters:
✔️ Fills the gap between Royal Enfield Scram 411 (₹2.12L) and Ducati Scrambler Icon (₹10.45L)
✔️ Capitalizes on India’s growing adventure-touring segment (up 27% YoY)

2. Bonneville 400: Classic Revival

Expected Highlights:

  • Retro Styling: Chrome accents, spoke wheels, twin-pod analog cluster

  • Engine: Same 398cc unit (possibly detuned for relaxed cruising)

  • Price Strategy:

    • Aggressive: ~₹2.3L (to rival RE Classic 350)

    • Premium: ~₹2.8L (justifying Bonneville heritage)

Market Gap:
No premium retro in 300-500cc segment between Jawa Perak (₹2.16L) and Triumph Speed 400 (₹2.34L)

Shared Platform Advantages

  • Cost Efficiency: Leverages Speed 400/Scrambler 400 X’s chassis and engine

  • Localization: 90% parts sourced locally (competitive pricing)

Strategic Timing

  • Scrambler T4: October launch aligns with festive sales (35% of annual 2W volume)

  • Bonneville 400: Likely Q1 2026 to avoid cannibalizing Thruxton 400 (₹2.74L)

Expert Take:
“Triumph is smartly using its 400cc platform to create distinct personalities – from café racers (Thruxton) to scramblers and now retro classics,” says auto analyst Ketan Thakkar.

Upcoming Competition

  • Hero MotoCorp’s Harley-Davidson X440 scrambler (expected 2026)

  • Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 scrambler variant (spied testing)
