Triumph promises to revolutionize the medium motorcycle market with the launch of two new models: Speed 400 y Scrambler 400X. Benefits, design and a very competitive price are the highlight of the ad.
The two models share the same 400 cc engine. It is the first monocylinder engine that the brand develops in several years and the smallest it currently offers in our country. It is not a coincidence. One of the bets with these motorcycles is to attract new users, including those who aspire to have a Triumph but still “remains far.” Or those who could have one but prefer to start with something smaller.
“For us is the brand breakdown in Argentina. Historically Triumph was 660 cc up, with a private segment and client. What we are seeing with these two motorcycles is to expand the spectrum and the opportunity for new customers and younger to also enter the brand,” he told Clarion Juan Pablo Balzano, commercial manager of Triumph Motorcycles Argentina, represented by Grupo Corven.
“It will also allow us to go to new places in Argentina, open dealers, be closer to the client,” he added.
On the characteristics of the new models, Balzano said that “Triumph DNA” is “in all the details” and that from the engine to the endings “everything is designed in England.” The motorcycle is imported and is manufactured in India.
The two models are equipped with 400 cc engines. TR-SERIESthat develop a power of 40 CV a 8.000 rpm and 37.5 Nm from torque at 6,500 rpm. They incorporate technology Ride-by-wire (electronic accelerator) and anti-re-literate assisted clutch.
As for the equipment, both the SPEED 400 and the 400X SCRAMBLER have advanced suspension, inverted fork, rear gas monoamortiguador and brand brakes Bybre (Brembo). They also come with double channel ABS system and traction control.
The fuel tank has a capacity to 13 liters, which gives an autonomy of about 300 kilometersas stated in the presentation that was made in inheritance Custom Garage, in Martínez.
As for the design, it has several details that twin with the Speed Twin 900 and Scrambler 900 respectively. They share the style of the gasoline tank, the mirrors and the headlights (which are full LED). And also the distinctive seal of the English brand: the transmission of the right side.
The motorcycles are also equipped with USB-C port, very well disguised in the front, and a comfortable handling position for which they choose these models as a means of transport and not only for weekend outings.
In particular, Speed 400 is the most “urban” of the two. It has 17 “rolled tires and weighs alone 170 kilos. It has a height of 1,084 mm high (without mirrors), 814 mm wide, and a seat at 790 mm. from the floor. Its price is $ 10,648,800.
The 400X Scrambler is a bit larger. It has a front wheel Round 19 “which makes it a little higher (1,169 mm) and heavy (179 kilos). The seat is 835 mm from the ground and the suspensions have a 150 mm route. The sale price in March is $ 12.051.300.
The two include a 2 -year warranty and a service interval of 16,000 km or 12 months, which happens first.
“Having a start of the range will promote us to continue growing within our proper brand and this is our mission. We will expand Triumph’s knowledge within the biker community,” said Balzano during the presentation.
– How many have to do with the changes in the imports of imports and taxes on vehicles in Triumph launches and other brands in middle and high segments?
–Well, without getting much in politics because it is not my thing, I sell motorcycles, but it is real: the tariffs go down, the taxes and many of the brands that were not bringing, some certain models for the CBU (motorcycles completely manufactured and armed abroad) go down and they are seeing that it is a more ‘open’ market. More players are entering the court. We also had scheduled to bring the motorcycle. We were going to bring it the same, despite taxes, despite everything or reality. We believe that these two 400 motorcycles will revolutionize and change the scope where we handle.
