Triumph 350cc Range Engine Specifications Leaked; Launch on April 6

Triumph Motorcycles is prepared to expand its mid-capacity portfolio in India with the official launch of its new 350cc range scheduled for April 6. Ahead of the debut, leaked technical specifications for the Speed, Scrambler, and Thruxton models suggest a shift in performance dynamics. While the reduction in horsepower remains marginal, the new 350cc liquid-cooled engine appears to trade low-end torque for a higher-revving character compared to the existing 398cc series.

The move is seen as a strategic step to offer a more accessible entry point into the Triumph brand. However, the data indicates that riders may need to use the gearbox more frequently in urban traffic, as peak power and torque are now delivered higher up the delivery range. 2026 Bajaj Pulsar 180 Reaches Dealerships Ahead of Official India Launch.

Triumph Speed T4: The New Entry-Level Roadster

The Speed T4 serves as the base 350cc iteration, expected to produce 28.6 BHP at 7,500 RPM and 31 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 RPM. This represents a decrease of approximately 2 BHP and 5 Nm compared to the current 400cc model.

In terms of performance, the T4 clocks a 0-60 km/h time of 3.5 seconds and reaches 100 km/h in 9.6 seconds. The top speed has also been revised downward to 137 km/h from the original 141.4 km/h, reflecting its positioning as a more commuter-friendly roadster.

Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X/XC: High-Revving Mid-Range

The 350cc variants of the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 series are projected to deliver 36.5 BHP at 8,500 RPM and 32 Nm of torque at 7,000 RPM. For comparison, the larger 398cc motor produces 39.5 BHP at a lower 8,000 RPM and 37.5 Nm at 6,500 RPM. The higher RPM requirements for both power and torque suggest a "peakier" engine nature. This could alter the riding experience significantly for the Scrambler models, which typically benefit from stronger low-end "grunt" for off-road and trail riding.

Triumph Thruxton 400: Retaining Top-End Performance

The cafe-racer styled Thruxton 400 in its 350cc guise is expected to be the most powerful of the new range, generating 39.5 BHP at 8,750 RPM and 32 Nm at 7,500 RPM. Although this is a slight dip from the current 41.5 BHP and 37.5 Nm, the Thruxton remains the performance flagship of the small-capacity stable.

With a claimed top speed of 157 km/h, it continues to target riders looking for high-speed stability and sportier aesthetics. Like its siblings, the Thruxton will require a more aggressive throttle and gear strategy to access its full performance potential. 2026 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Price, Specifications and Features.

By introducing the 350cc engine, Triumph is likely aiming to compete more directly with established players in the sub-400cc segment. While the outright performance figures remain competitive, the real-world impact of the reduced torque will be a key factor for potential buyers. Full details, including the official price list and availability across Indian dealerships, will be confirmed during the launch event on April 6.
