Motor & Chassis
The Speed 400 was built entirely at Triumph’s Hinckley facility utilising a cast aluminium swingarm and a steel tubular frame with a bolt-on subframe. The new Triumph Speed 400, according to the company, is propelled by a brand-new 398cc single-pot liquid-cooled TR-series motor that has been developed for responsive, engaging, and characterful power delivery.
For a comfortable ride at low speeds, the engine has a DOHC cylinder head with a finger-follower 4-valve arrangement and a weighted and balanced crankshaft. The contact parts have DLC applied to them in order to reduce friction and offer a free-revving, smooth engine performance. The motor generates 39.5 horsepower at 8000 rpm and 37.5 Nm at 6500 rpm, according the specs. There is a 6-speed gearbox connected to the mill.
Parts
A large 43 mm big-piston telescopic fork assembly with gold outer tubes supports the new Speed 400, while a monoshock unit with an external reservoir supports the rear. There is 140 mm of travel in the front and 130 mm in the back. On 17-inch light alloy wheels, Metzeler Sportec M9RR tyres are used. The tyres feature front and rear profiles of 110/70-R17 and 150/60-R17, respectively.
The Speed 400 includes a 230 mm disc with a floating calliper at the back and a 300 mm disc with a 4-piston radial calliper up front for anchoring. The braking system works in tandem with dual-channel ABS. The Speed 400 has an accessible seat height of 790 mm and weights 170 kg.
