Triumph Motorcycles has expanded its 400 range with the Tracker 400, bringing a fresh design style to its entry-level lineup. The motorcycle is inspired by flat track bikes and gets a clean and minimal look. It features a round LED headlamp with a small visor, a wide and low handlebar, and a slim tail section that gives it a purposeful stance. The design also includes a number board-style side panel and a compact fuel tank. Some parts are shared with other Triumph models. The subframe comes from the Triumph Thruxton 400, while the twin-barrel exhaust is taken from the Triumph Scrambler 400.
Smaller engine for India
Globally, the Tracker 400 uses a 398cc engine, but the India spec version gets a new 350cc motor. This change helps in making the bike more accessible due to lower taxation. The engine uses the same state of tune as the Thruxton and produces 39.5bhp and 32 N · m of peak torque. This setup aims to balance performance and affordability for Indian buyers.

Premium hardware and underpinnings
The Tracker 400 is based on the same platform as the Triumph Speed 400, with a few changes. It uses a tubular steel frame along with upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock. Braking is handled by disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS. The bike rides on 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with dual-purpose tyres, which suit both city and light off-road use.

Colours and price positioning
The Tracker 400 is available in three colour options: Aluminium Silver, Racing Yellow and Phantom Black. Racing Yellow gives the bike a more vibrant look, while the other two colours are more subtle. The motorcycle is priced at Rs 2.46 lakh ex-showroom. It competes with the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 in the Indian market. Overall, the Tracker 400 introduces a new design direction to Triumph’s entry-level range while preserving the brand’s premium feel.
