The bike is offered in 4 new colours and here’s what we think about them
The Triumph Speed 400 has been updated, and with that, it is now available in a bunch of new colours. In this story, we will be going over the colours in detail and explaining how each colour looks. All the new colours on offer are dual-tone shades and share the same design/graphics.
Racing Yellow/Pearl Metallic White
On this colour scheme, the yellow shade is visible on the front half of the tank, with a Triumph logo in black. The rear half of the tank features a white finish, with a dark grey stripe separating the yellow finish and the white.
Overall, this colour scheme is quite a change from the regular subtle colour schemes that Triumph usually offers. If you’re someone who likes bright and flashy colours then this one is definitely for you.
Phantom Black/Pewter Grey
This colour scheme is quite similar to the Phantom Black/Storm Grey colour that was offered on the previous generation Speed 400. It offers a dark black finish on the front half of the tank, with the Triumph logo in white. Triumph has made a slight change with the addition of a slightly darker grey finish on the rear half of the tank.
The Phantom Black colour makes sense if you’re looking for a dark shade that is able to offer that subtle elegance. The dark shade also makes the gold finished inverted fork stand out quite a bit as well.
Pearl Metallic White/Pewter Grey
This colour scheme is more like a middle ground between the Racing Yellow and Phantom Black. It offers a white finish on the tank with a black colour Triumph logo, but uses a similar dark grey finish on the rear portion like the Phantom Black/Pewter Grey colour scheme.
The white does look good on the bike, but overall doesn’t manage to offer that premium look and feel, which other colours are able to offer. Overall, the colour scheme is decent but nothing special.
Racing Red/Pearl Metallic White
This colour scheme brings the same red finish as the one we have seen on the previous generation Speed 400’s Carnival Red/Storm Grey colour scheme. But on this model, the dark grey finish on the tank’s rear half has been changed with a metallic white finish.
Overall, this colour scheme doesn’t manage to capture that look and style which the old Carnival Red/Storm Grey colour scheme did. The white and dark red combo just doesn’t seem to work as well as the dark red and dark grey did. The new colour schemes have brought some much needed variance to the lineup but the Speed 400 looks rather understated now.
Other than the addition of these new colours, the bike has also received some updates. It has a new thicker seat that will likely be more comfortable. This change has increased the seat height from 790mm to 803mm.
The Speed 400 is still powered by the same 398.15cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine which produces 40PS and 37.5Nm. It has an inverted fork and a gas-charged monoshock. The bike rolls on 17-inch alloys with Vredestein radial tyres. Braking duties are handled by a 300mm front and 230mm rear disc, with dual-channel ABS as standard.
In terms of features, the Speed 400 gets a semi-digital instrument console with an analogue speedometer, and a digital inset which displays gear position, tachometer readouts, fuel level, trip and odometer readouts.
The 2025 Speed 400 is offered at an ex-showroom price of Rs 2,40,000 and it goes up against other 400cc bikes in the segment such as the KTM 390 Duke, Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z, Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 and the BMW G 310 R.
