Triumph Motorcycles Announces Surprise Price Drop on Speed 400 & Speed T4
In a bold move that has sent shockwaves through the Indian two-wheeler market, Triumph Motorcycles, in collaboration with Bajaj Auto, has slashed the prices of its popular Speed 400 and Speed T4 models by nearly ₹17,000. This unexpected price reduction comes despite the recent GST hike to 40% on motorcycles above 350 cc, which would have otherwise increased costs by over ₹22,000.
Instead of passing the tax burden to customers, Triumph Motorcycles has chosen to absorb the impact, reaffirming its commitment to the Indian market. The Speed 400 now starts at ₹2,33,754 (ex-showroom), down from ₹2,50,551, while the Speed T4 is priced at ₹1,92,539, reduced from ₹2,06,738.
This means buyers are now enjoying total savings of nearly ₹40,000 when factoring in both the tax absorption and direct price cut — a massive win for enthusiasts during the 2025 festive season.
Why the Price Drop? Triumph Motorcycles Defies Market Trends
While most premium motorcycle brands responded to the GST hike by increasing prices, Triumph Motorcycles took the opposite route. This strategic decision is aimed at:
-
Boosting sales volume during Diwali.
-
Strengthening market share in the competitive 400cc segment.
-
Rewarding loyal customers and attracting new buyers.
-
Promoting the Speed lineup as the most value-for-money British motorcycle in India.
Manik Nangia, President, Probiking, Bajaj Auto Ltd., stated:
“The Speed 400 and Speed T4 have set benchmarks in performance, design, and accessibility. By absorbing the impact and introducing a price slash, Triumph and Bajaj Auto are reaffirming their focus on the Indian market and its customers, ensuring the Speed range continues to deliver unmatched value.”

No Price Cut on Thruxton & Scrambler 400X (Yet)
