Description
Conceived and designed in Hinckley, UK the Speed 400 has been crafted with the same exacting attention to detail as every Triumph model. This stunning motorcycle blends timeless design DNA with contemporary poise.
Now available at Lings Triumph Essex, the Triumph Speed 400 delivers an enticing blend of vintage style and modern agility. With its clean café-racer silhouette and dynamic ergonomics, this motorcycle is built for riders who value spirited city rides and weekend adventures with a stylish edge.
At its core is a responsive 398cc single-cylinder engine, tuned to produce around 27 PS and 33 Nm of torque. It offers a breezy, linear power delivery that makes navigating the streets effortless—an ideal companion for both new riders and those seeking a fuss-free, engaging ride. Its light engine character gives it a charming personality and immediate throttle responsiveness in everyday riding conditions.
Chassis dynamics are sharp and agile, thanks to a lightweight trellis frame, high-spec 5-axis upper yoke, and refined suspensions that offer balance and control. With a 790 mm seat height and upright riding position, the Speed 400 feels approachable and confidence-inspiring out of the gate, offering nimble handling through traffic and open roads alike.
Classic perceptual cues—like wire-spoked wheels, a café-racer tank, and twin analog-style instruments—give it timeless appeal. Yet under the surface, modern testing standards offer rider reassurance with features including ABS, traction control, ride-by-wire throttle, and a USB charging port—subtle reminders of its big-bike DNA hidden beneath vintage charm.
Braking performance is handled by a powerful single front disc with a Nissin piston caliper and a rear disc with confident feel, making everyday stopping smooth and secure.
Whether you're cruising through city streets or carving scenic routes, the Speed 400 pairs retro fashion with contemporary usability. It’s a bike that makes every journey feel fun and expresses individual style at every turn.
