The Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X both share the same frame and engine but feature different slightly different suspension and braking setups along with wheels and tyres.

The engine in the new Triumphs is the brand-new TR400 single-cylinder engine. The 398cc powerplant features fuel injection and dual-overhead camshafts and produces 39.5bhp at 8,000rpm and 37.5Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox.

While the Speed 400 offers 140mm and 130mm of wheel travel at the front and rear. The Scrambler 400 X offers 150mm of wheel travel at both ends.

Talking about the brakes, the Speed 400 features a 300mm disc at the front and a 230mm disc at the rear. The Scrambler 400 X features a larger 320mm disc at the front. Both bikes feature 4-piston callipers at the front and a single-piston calliper at the rear, along with dual-channel ABS.

Both new Triumphs feature spoked wheels shod with Metzeler tyres. The Speed 400's 17-inch units are clad in 110/70 (front) and 150/60 (rear) Metzeler Sportec M9RR.

The Scrambler 400 X's 19-inch front wheel sports 100/90 section rubber while the rear sports chunkier 140/80 rubber. The tyres in question are the Metzeler Karoo Street.

Thoughts About Triumph Opening Pre-Bookings For the New 400 Series

Triumph's decision to open up pre-bookings for the all-new Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X shows the confidence that the British firm has in its new single-cylinder motorcycles. If the British firm does go aggressive with the pricing, it could have a real winner on its hands.
