It was the exhaust that lost its aluminum finish and came with a pitch-black one. However, after much demand from the customers, the brand confirmed that the bike will continue to offer brushed aluminum exhaust.

MY2025 Triumph Speed 400 To Retain Its Brushed Aluminium Exhaust Finish
The 2025 Triumph Speed 400 isn't just a facelift. It's a refined machine with a fresh coat of paint and a host of functional upgrades. Choose from four vibrant colors: Racing Yellow, Pearl Metallic White, Racing Red, or Phantom Black. Not just this, the 2025 Triumph Speed 400 receives a technical update as well that is aimed at elevating the rider's experience. It now sports a more relaxed riding position, thanks to a 25.1-degree rake. The higher-profile Vredestein Centauro tires (110/80-17 front, 150/70-17 rear) improve ride quality, though at the cost of 10mm of suspension travel front and rear. The bike also benefits from ergonomic improvements, including adjustable levers and a redesigned seat with extra cushion.
The 2024 Speed 400 offers a more stretched-out riding position. With a longer wheelbase (1386 mm) and wider handlebars (829 mm), you'll feel more planted and confident. The bike's slightly taller stance (without mirrors) adds to the commanding feel. While these changes enhance the riding experience, they do come at the cost of a 3 kg weight increase, which is fine considering everything that's now a part of it.

Engine Details
The heart of the 2024 Speed 400 remains its punchy 398 cc TR-Series engine. Producing 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, this motor delivers a thrilling performance. The 6-speed gearbox, aided by a torque-assist clutch, ensures smooth and effortless shifts and the overall ride experience. It's starting price is currently set at Rs. 2.40 lakhs ex-showroom.
Verdict
If you ask for it enough and the demands are just, you can have it all. Says Triumph as the move to rollback on the blacked-out exhaust is a good move and also something that the brand would want to focus on right now. The alum fnish not only looks better than the blacked out one, it also signifies the extent to which Triumph wants to go in order to cater to its new-segment customers well!
