Triumph Tracker 400 debuts with retro styling and modern tech
What's the story
Triumph has expanded its entry-level 400cc range with the launch of the Tracker 400 in the UK. The new model draws inspiration from flat-track racing bikes and features a minimalist design. It is now available for booking in the UK with a fully refundable deposit of £250 (approximately ₹30,500). Let's take a closer look at what this latest addition from Triumph has to offer.
Aesthetic appeal
Tracker 400's design and features
The Tracker 400 is a road-biased machine with racing-inspired aesthetics. It sports a round headlamp, flat seat line with a single-piece seat, low-set wide handlebar, minimal bodywork and upswept exhaust. The side panels feature tracker-style '400' markings while the fuel tank has a classic design with 'TRACKER' lettering. The bike comes in three color options: Aluminium Silver, Racing Yellow and Phantom Black.
Engine details
Tracker 400's performance and specifications
The Tracker 400 is powered by a 398cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces an output of 42hp and torque of 37.5Nm. The bike comes with a six-speed gearbox and slip/assist clutch for improved performance. It also features rider-focused technologies such as torque-assist clutch, switchable traction control, dual-channel ABS and all-LED lighting for enhanced safety on the road.
Build quality
Tracker 400's chassis and suspension setup
The Tracker 400 features a hybrid spine and perimeter tubular steel frame with a bolt-on rear subframe for durability. Its suspension setup includes 43mm USD big piston forks with 140mm wheel travel at the front and a monoshock unit at the rear with 130mm wheel travel. Both ends sport 17-inch wheels, wrapped in 110/70 front and 150/60 rear tires for improved handling on different terrains.
Safety features
Tracker 400's braking system and rider comfort
The Tracker 400 comes with a braking setup of 300mm and 230mm disks at the front and rear, respectively. It also has an analog speedometer with an integrated multi-function LCD screen. With a seat height of 805mm, this bike is expected to be comfortable for most riders. The wet weight is pegged at 173kg while it can carry up to 13-liter of fuel.
Indian market
Triumph Tracker 400's potential launch in India
The Triumph 400cc bikes have gained popularity in the 350cc-450cc segment. The Tracker 400 could be a great addition to Triumph's entry-level range in India. However, it is still unclear if this bike will be launched here with a 400cc engine. To avoid GST 2.0 reforms, Bajaj Triumph may launch the Tracker with a smaller 350cc engine option for the Indian market.
