Triumph has just unveiled the Tracker 400, a motorcycle that borrows its bold attitude from flat track racing but is made for the real world. While it shares some underpinnings with the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, the Tracker 400 adds an entirely different flavor to Triumph’s growing 400cc lineup.
Think stripped-down styling, sharp lines, and a posture that screams agility — this bike is out to grab attention and corner hard. Let’s break down everything you need to know.
Engine
Under the skin, the Tracker 400 uses the same 398cc TR-Series single-cylinder engine that powers its siblings. This liquid-cooled motor puts out 42 PS at 9,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm — a punchy setup with plenty of mid-range torque. Whether you’re zipping through city traffic or cruising country roads, the power delivery feels smooth and usable.
It’s paired with a six-speed gearbox and features a slip-and-assist clutch as standard. The assist function lightens clutch pull, while the slipper part prevents wheel hop during hard downshifting — ideal for newer riders and veterans alike.
Chassis
Structurally, the Tracker 400 retains the tubular steel frame found on other Triumph 400s, offering strength and stability. What sets it apart is the more aggressive tuning and geometry that gives it its signature “elbows-out” character.
The swingarm is made from cast aluminium, which keeps the weight in check while enhancing stiffness. 43mm upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock with an external reservoir handle suspension duties. Together, they provide good damping for a mix of street use and twisty rides, absorbing bumps while maintaining composure.
Braking
Stopping power is delivered via disc brakes at both ends, backed by dual-channel ABS. It’s a familiar setup for this platform, but one that works well. The braking feel is progressive, with enough bite to keep things safe during emergency stops or aggressive riding.
Ergonomics
The real fun starts when you hop on. The riding triangle has been tweaked to match its flat-track styling. The wide and flat handlebar sits lower and further forward, giving you that lean-in aggressive stance. The footpegs are moved up and back, which results in a sportier feel compared to the Speed 400’s relaxed position.
This posture encourages riders to attack corners with confidence, but Triumph has smartly kept the seat height at 805 mm, which means most riders will find it manageable even with the sporty geometry.
Design
Visually, the Tracker 400 is unmistakable. It looks like it’s built to race on dirt ovals, but everything is refined for road use. Key design highlights include:
- Flat, boxy fuel tank with a revised design
- Flat seat with a color-matched rear cowl
- Twin upswept exhausts that add to the aggressive stance
- Round LED headlamp and minimalist front section
- Side-mounted number plates inspired by racing machines
The overall aesthetic is raw and muscular, which sets it apart from the retro styling of its Speed sibling and the off-road ruggedness of the Scrambler 400X.
Features
Despite its stripped-back look, the Tracker 400 packs in a lot of modern tech:
- Ride-by-wire throttle for smoother power control
- Switchable traction control for added safety
- Dual-channel ABS
- USB-C charging port for device connectivity
- Analogue speedometer with an integrated LCD display
These features make it practical for daily use while keeping the styling neat and simple.
Colours
Triumph is offering three distinct colorways that complement the Tracker’s bold styling:
| Color Option | Details |
|---|---|
| Aluminium Silver | With red accents |
| Racing Yellow | With black highlights |
| Phantom Black | All-black, stealthy finish |
Each option enhances the Tracker’s aggressive personality while catering to different rider preferences.
Availability
Triumph plans to roll out the Tracker 400 globally in early 2026, and it’s expected to reach India later that year. Since Triumph already manufactures the 400cc range locally in partnership with Bajaj, Indian riders could benefit from competitive pricing when the Tracker 400 launches.
Flat track culture is on the rise in India, and this bike fits perfectly into that growing scene. It could serve as a stylish urban commuter or even a weekend canyon carver — it’s versatile, mean-looking, and functional.
In a world where most small-displacement bikes look too safe or too retro, the Tracker 400 adds a fresh, aggressive twist. It’s not just another 400cc bike — it’s a statement on two wheels. With a solid engine, unique ergonomics, standout design, and modern features, Triumph might just have a future favorite on its hands.
