Triumph launches a new machine with the new Triumph Speed T4 with the highly anticipated Triumph Scrambler T4. Through superb performance, but at a price tag geared for a wider audience, these bikes promise to deliver. In Part 1 of this article, we will be taking a look at some of the key features and specifications and why these models are valued by those familiar with the Apple fitness wearables (and those who are not). Read on for some information we think you’ll find useful, whether it’s to help you make a buying decision or just keep up with the latest in biking news.
The Beretta 1 is essentially the Triumph Speed T4. As such, the newly launched Triumph Speed T4 is designed as the entry point to the world of premium biking that doesn’t compromise on style or performance. It also becomes one of the most affordable choices in Triumph’s lineup and costs around ₹2.17 lakh ex showroom.
Of course, this model is backed by a 398cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine putting out about 30.6 bhp at 7,000 rpm and 36 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. This setup is meant to be a smooth-riding setup, especially in an urban environment where low-end torque makes acceleration from a stop quick and easy. On the Speed T4 we have a six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch, which makes for better rideability and comfort.
How does the Triumph Speed T4 compare to the Speed 400?
In contrast to the sibling Speed 400, the Triumph Speed T4 has some major differences that are going to appeal to different sorts of riders. Although both bikes have the same engine displacement, they are tuned quite differently and, as a result, behave quite differently. Offering 39.5 bhp and 37.5 Nm of torque, the Speed 400 stands higher in terms of power output and so is suitable for riders who seek performance at high speeds.
On the other hand, the Speed T4 is optimised for providing more low-end torque and thus placing the T4 in better advantage in city traffic as well as regular riding conditions. Through tuning adjustments of various elements, one can enjoy a smoother riding experience but still not have lost the power you need. However, both models boast the same style of braking, equipped with the dual-channel ABS, but differences in suspension set up with something like telescopic forks on the T4 will have an impact on the handling.
Here’s a breakdown of the six main features of the T4.The features and specifications of the upcoming Triumph Scrambler T4 boast many similarities with the Speed T4, hence its popularity! It is expected to carry over engine characteristics, expectedly delivering around 30.6 bhp and 36 Nm of torque; it will be a practical performance option for scrambler lovers.
A prominent example means it will likely have a suspension system strong enough for off-road purposes and rubber tires that are hardy for changes in terrain. It’s expected that classic scrambler elements like high-mounted exhausts and rugged styling will be used, but also modern comforts, including LED lighting and a semi-digital instrument cluster for better visibility and more functionality.
Will the Triumph Scrambler T4 Be All That Different from its Predecessors?
The Scrambler 400 X will, however, be differentiating between the current models, and it is OK to say it will be more affordable, but still it will carry all basic scrambler features. It is anticipated to output slightly less power than its predecessors but should still have adequate performance for city commuting and light off-roading.Look for changing aesthetics that cater to the contemporary trends while keeping intact with the scrambler charm from a design aspect—expect bold colour options like Phantom Black and Cocktail Red Wine among the variations with robust design elements that further make the scrambler rugged.
Why Is the Triumph Speed T4 a Cost Property?
Several strategic decisions made by Triumph Motorcycles to broaden its India customer base have resulted in India being able to offer Triumph Speed T4 at an affordable price. With this, Triumph has made it affordable by using existing components from the higher-end models like the Speed 400 and tweaking the specs—getting telescopic forks going conventional instead of USD forks.They have also simplified a couple of electronic features, like discarding advanced traction controls while retaining rider experience and the otherwise desirable safety features like dual-channel ABS without affording high manufacturing costs.
What performance is to be expected with the Speed T4?
Speed T4 pledges performance that will be fun to drive, whilst its specification suggests practicality rather bluntly. Thanks to its single-cylinder engine, peak torque is available further down the rpm band (36 Nm at 5,000 rpm), which results in responsive acceleration perfect for getting around town where launches are required.The bike reaches a top speed of about 135 km/h, quite a bit slower than that, but still enough for everyday commuting. The six-speed gearbox allows for seamless gear transitions and maintains high fuel efficiency that daily riders care for along with performance.
What Makes the Speed T4 Different in Design?
The Triumph Speed T4 design combines up-to-date fashion with standard motorbike topics that can be enjoyed by both new riders and pros. A timeless look, with its line of bodywork, minimalist graphics, and round LED headlight, checks the right boxes in the list of what works well within Triumph’s heritage.It’s available in striking colour options like Phantom Black and Cocktail Red Wine, features alloy wheels, and has a semi-digital instrument cluster that makes functionality work without compromising its commitment to clean design.
