Triumph Street Scrambler 400 Details
The Street Scrambler 400 appears slightly different from the Speed 400 and the Scrambler 400 X, featuring a fuel tank that seems to take inspiration from the bigger Street Scrambler bikes in Triumph's lineup. The angular side panels have been retained, and it also gets a basic-looking grab rail. The round headlamp with the X-shaped motif gives it that familiar look, while the rear section looks different with a new tail lamp. The dual-barrel exhausts, however, will remind you of the Scrambler 400 X.
This bike will share the same frame as the Speed 400 and the Scrambler 400 X, and from the looks of it, it comes with the same 43mm USD forks and a pre-load adjustable monoshock, akin to the Speed 400. It also seems to get 17-inch wheels on both ends with twin-spoke alloy rims. Considering that this could be a Street Scrambler, this particular wheel size is interesting, offering the ease and accessibility of the Speed 400 with the added chops of the Scrambler 400 X.
In terms of the powertrain, it will carry over the 398cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine will be carried over, with the same 39.4bhp at 8000rpm and 37.5Nm of torque at 6500rpm, paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch.
The semi-digital instrument cluster appears to be identical to the one on the Speed 400, and as for the set of features, we can expect dual-channel ABS, switchable traction control, ride-by-wire, a gear position indicator, a USB C-type port, and a semi-digital instrument cluster among other things.
It is difficult to comment on the timeline of this motorcycle's arrival. However, we can expect at least some teasers to be shown sometime later this year, with a launch to follow soon after.
