350cc Triumph 400 range prices to increase from June 1

In early April, Triumph Motorcycles introduced downsized 350cc versions of its 400 platform to benefit from the lower 18 percent GST bracket. While the entry-level Triumph Speed T4 retained its price, models higher up the range, such as the Triumph Scrambler 400, saw reductions of up to Rs 11,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Now, a Triumph dealership in Mumbai has indicated via its social media that prices for these new 350cc models are expected to increase by Rs 5,000-10,000 from June 1.

1. New 350cc platform was introduced in April
2. Price hike of up to Rs 10,000 expected

Triumph 350cc range price increase

Lower GST due to downsized engines led to price cuts of up to Rs 11,000

The new Triumph 400 line-up currently consists of six models – the Speed T4, Speed 400, Scrambler 400, Scrambler 400 XC, Thruxton 400 and the recently introduced Tracker 400.

The Speed T4 was the only model that did not receive a price cut following the switch to the smaller-capacity engine, continuing with its existing ex-showroom price of Rs 1.95 lakh. The Scrambler 400 and Thruxton 400 benefited the most from the tax revision, with prices dropping by around Rs 10,000-11,000. If the expected price hike materialises, some models could effectively return to pricing levels similar to when they were powered by the larger, more powerful 399cc single-cylinder engine.

Triumph Motorcycles India is yet to issue an official statement regarding the matter. We’ve also reached out to the brand for clarification and will update this story once more information becomes available.

As things stand, if you’re planning to buy one of these motorcycles, it may be worth checking with your nearest dealership soon to confirm the current pricing situation.
