Triumph has launched the Triumph Tracker 400 in the UK, a flat-track styled motorcycle built on the Speed 400 platform with tuned enhancements for sharper performance and retro appeal. Priced at £5,745, it arrives in dealerships from March 2026, blending classic tracker vibes with modern tech. This bike targets enthusiasts craving accessible, characterful riding in the booming 400cc segment.
Design Highlights
The Triumph Tracker 400 channels 1970s flat-track racers through its minimalist silhouette, featuring a boxy fuel tank with knee cut-outs, seat cowl, number board side panels, and a small fly screen. Wide, flat handlebars, repositioned rearrest foot pegs, and Pirelli MT60 RS tires on 17-inch 14-spoke alloys amp up the rugged stance, distinct from the Speed 400’s neo-retro roadster look.
Color options—Racing Yellow with black accents, Aluminum Silver Gloss with red highlights, or Phantom Black—add bold graphics like ‘TRACKER’ tank lettering and mud-splatter racing stripes, evoking dirt ovals while keeping wiring hidden for a clean aesthetic.
At 173kg wet, it’s nimble yet substantial, with dimensions of 2033mm long, 857mm wide, and 1050mm high.
Engine and Performance
A revised 398cc liquid-cooled, DOHC single-cylinder TR-Series engine delivers 41.4bhp at 9,000rpm and 37.5Nm at 7,500rpm—a 5% power bump over the Speed 400 via a new intake camshaft, higher rev limit, and ride-by-wire mapping for crisper throttle and stronger top-end pull. Around 80% torque kicks in from 3,000rpm, making it punchy off the line without frantic revving.
A six-speed gearbox pairs with a slip/assist clutch for smooth shifts, while claimed 78.5mpg efficiency from the 13-litre tank yields up to 224 miles range—ideal for spirited backroad blasts or urban jaunts.
Full LED lighting and a semi-analogue cluster (big speedo dial, digital tacho, gear indicator) keep things retro-functional.
Chassis and Handling
Triumph Tracker 400 tuned the hybrid spine/perimeter steel frame specifically for the Tracker, with a 24.4° rake, 1371mm wheelbase (6mm shorter than Speed 400), and 805mm seat height for an aggressive, forward-leaning posture—23mm wider/134mm lower bars and higher pegs enhance control during lean angles or slides.
Suspension includes non-adjustable 43mm USD Big Piston forks (140mm travel) and a preload-adjustable gas monoshock (130mm rear), paired with road-biased dual-purpose tires for versatile grip on tarmac or light gravel.
Brakes feature a four-piston radial ByBre caliper on a 300mm front disc and single-piston 230mm rear, backed by switchable dual-channel ABS and traction control for confident stops and traction.
Key Differences from Speed 400
While sharing the core platform and Indian manufacturing (via Bajaj), the Tracker stands out with flat-track ergonomics, unique bodywork, and revvier tuning versus the Speed 400’s milder 39.5bhp setup. It’s £500 pricier but lighter than some scrambler siblings, carving a niche between roadster and adventure styles.
Price & Market
In the UK, the Tracker 400 starts at around £5,745, which translates to roughly ₹6.9-7.0 lakh — a competitive price point against other premium small-capacity bikes.
But what about other markets? Currently, Triumph hasn’t confirmed launches beyond the UK and similar overseas regions. India, where the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X are popular, is unlikely to see the Tracker 400 immediately — mainly because flat-tracker style bikes traditionally have more niche appeal there.
Still, given that these bikes are built in India by Bajaj Auto for export, there’s always a possibility (however small) that a future India launch could be considered if demand shifts or Triumph finds the right positioning.
UK Market Position
Rivals like the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 (£5,599, lighter at 159kg) or Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 (£4,850, torquier) undercut it, but Triumph’s premium quality, two-year warranty, and family synergy (Scrambler 400 X at £5,845) position the Tracker as a stylish gateway to Modern Classics. Expect it to shine for riders upgrading from 125s or downsizing for fun factor in traffic-choked UK roads.
Conclusion
The Triumph Tracker 400 is much more than just another 400cc machine. It’s a carefully styled, enthusiast-focused bike — one that captures the joy of classic flat-track racers and brings it into a motorcycle that’s just as at home on urban streets as it is on weekend rides. It’s not about raw power or sheer performance; it’s about character, attitude and riding joy — something Triumph has always been good at blending with everyday usability.
For UK riders and global fans of classic motorcycles with a modern twist, the Triumph Tracker 400 is exactly the kind of bike that inspires smiles at the lights and big grins on the open road.
