Overview
Performance And Engine
The Tracker 400 uses a liquid-cooled, 349cc single-cylinder DOHC engine, which is a tuned-down version of the 398cc engine found in its siblings. It’s been adjusted for quick response and strong top-end power. The engine produces 40 PS at 8,750 rpm and 32 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm, giving you fast acceleration from a stop (0-100 kmph in about 6 seconds) and plenty of power for easy overtaking on Indian highways.
The engine has a wide powerband and remains smooth at cruising speeds thanks to its balanced crankshaft and refined components. The upswept silencer gives it a deep exhaust sound that meets noise rules but still sounds like a Triumph. In everyday Indian traffic, it handles city riding well with quick rev-matching and keeps a steady pace at 100-120 kmph on longer trips. This makes it a strong competitor to bikes like the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and KTM 390 Duke.
The 6-speed gearbox stands out, thanks to its slip-and-assist clutch that makes the lever much lighter and helps smooth out downshifts during hard braking. This setup gives you crisp, accurate gear changes, and the gear ratios are well-matched to the engine’s power. In stop-and-go Indian traffic, the clutch is easy on your hand, and on the highway, you can cruise in 6th gear without needing to shift often. The 150-section rear tyre on 17-inch alloy wheels helps deliver power smoothly and adds to the bike’s fun handling without losing refinement.
The Tracker 400 can reach a top speed of 154 kmph, and it stays stable and manages wind well even at high speeds. Its aerodynamic shape and 785mm seat height make for comfortable riding. Tests in India show it can easily hold speeds of 140-150 kmph, slowing down smoothly after that because of electronic limits. This makes it a good choice for highway rides, whether you’re overtaking trucks or traveling between cities like Kochi and Thrissur.
Mileage And Fuel Efficiency
The Tracker 400 is rated by ARAI at 27.7 kmpl, thanks to its optimised ECU, precise ride-by-wire throttle, and lightweight piston. This means you can get over 350 km from the 13-litre tank, making it great for weekend trips or saving money on fuel in places like Kerala. The mileage stays consistent under different loads and riding conditions, and the switchable traction control helps prevent wheelspin, keeping fuel use efficient even during spirited rides.
Owners in India usually get 27-28 kmpl in mixed city and highway riding, which matches the ARAI rating. In city traffic, mileage can drop to 25 kmpl with lots of stops or heavy throttle use. On the highway at a steady 80 kmph, you might see 29-30 kmpl, while loaded touring or fast solo rides can bring it down to 24-26 kmpl, depending on wind and terrain. Using premium fuel, keeping tyre pressures right, and riding gently in higher gears help improve economy. At current petrol prices, expect to spend about ₹1,500 a month for 500 km of city riding.
Features And Technology
The Triumph Tracker 400 is a premium, flat-track-inspired modern classic naked bike made for India. It combines top British engineering with advanced technology to stand out in the 400cc segment. Here are its main features:
- Advanced Instrument Cluster: Features an analogue tachometer-dominated console with integrated digital readouts for speed, fuel level, odometer, trip meters, gear position indicator, service reminders, and clock, providing riders with clear, glanceable data essential for monitoring performance on Indian roads.
- Performance-Oriented Engine: Powered by a rev-happy 349cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder DOHC TR-Series engine delivering 40 PS (39.45 bhp) at 8,750 rpm and 32 Nm torque at 7,500 rpm, with electronic fuel injection and ride-by-wire for sharp throttle response optimised for high-rev pulls in traffic and highway surges.
- Sophisticated Transmission System: Utilises a slick-shifting 6-speed manual gearbox mated to a wet multi-plate assist and slipper clutch, reducing hand effort significantly and preventing wheel hop on downshifts, ensuring precise control during aggressive riding in India’s dynamic conditions.

Build Quality
Triumph uses a strong tubular steel hybrid spine and perimeter frame with a bolt-on rear subframe, giving the bike a solid structure while keeping weight between 181-183 kg. The 43mm black-anodised USD forks, gas-charged rear monoshock with external reservoir, and cast-aluminium wheels show careful engineering. Tight panel gaps, vibration-damped mounts, and corrosion-resistant finishes make it well-suited for India’s humid and dusty weather.
The upswept dual exhaust from the Scrambler 400 X, MRF REVZ FD1 tubeless tyres, and premium paint in Aluminium Silver Gloss, Racing Yellow, or Phantom Black give the bike a high-quality look and feel. Early tests in India show the paint holds up well, even on rough roads and during monsoons. The switchgear and throttle are precise with no rattles, and the electrical parts, including the LED lights and wiring, are well-sealed against water, making the bike reliable in all kinds of Indian weather.
Handling
With a short 1376-1377mm wheelbase, low center of gravity, and 17-inch wheels fitted with 110/70 front and 150/60 rear block-pattern tyres, the Tracker 400 offers sharp steering and easy cornering. It handles like a flat-track bike, making it great for weaving through traffic or taking on winding roads. The suspension, with 140mm travel in front and 130mm at the rear, smooths out bumps and keeps the bike steady at speeds over 120 kmph. The stiff frame also prevents flex during hard cornering on twisty highways.
Riders say the Tracker 400’s playful chassis gives them confidence, especially when riding alone. The switchable traction control and wide handlebars make it easy to change direction quickly without any wobble. The bike stays straight at high speeds on expressways, resists shaking during sudden swerves, and lets you adjust smoothly in corners. This makes it easy for intermediate riders to handle, but still fun for experienced riders on speed bumps or gravel roads.
Comfort
The Tracker 400 offers a sporty but comfortable riding position, with an 805mm seat height, rear-set footpegs, a flat single-piece seat (with a pillion option), and low, wide handlebars. It’s suitable for riders from 5’6″ and up, giving an upright posture for long rides or city trips. The seat is well-padded, and the suspension handles bumps and rough roads well. The 349cc engine runs smoothly at cruising speeds (80-100 kmph), so you won’t get tired on longer rides.
The rear monoshock can be adjusted for solo or two-up riding, but the pillion seat is best for short trips. The bike is comfortable for commuting and offers good wind protection from the flyscreen. Even on rides over 200 km, wrist and back strain are minimal because of the neutral riding position. The padded knee recesses on the tank help you stay secure during hard braking, making the bike practical for both city traffic and long highway rides.
Styling
The Tracker 400 has a true flat-track racing look with a simple, bold design that stands out on Indian roads. It features a compact, boxy fuel tank with deep knee recesses for grip, a round LED headlamp with a short flyscreen, side panels with “400” graphics, and a sleek seat cowl for a solo racer feel. It uses the subframe from the Thruxton 400 and twin upswept exhausts from the Scrambler 400 X. Wide, low handlebars, a high front mudguard, and an exposed steel frame give it a strong, purposeful look that mixes classic British style with modern attitude—great for city rides or winding roads.
The Tracker 400 is 1985mm long, with a seat height of 785-805mm and 158mm ground clearance, giving it a solid look that isn’t too big for shorter riders. Matte-finish alloy wheels, premium decals, and tidy wiring add to its high-end feel. The sporty shape and visible mechanical parts make it stand out in traffic, especially among Royal Enfield bikes.

Value For Money And Pricing
The Triumph Tracker 400 is priced at ₹ 2,46,225 (ex-showroom, Delhi), placing it between the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X. All three benefit from the lower 18% GST rate on the 349cc engine. EMI plans start from ₹4,505 to ₹7,628 per month for 36 to 60 months, and you can get exchange and loan offers at Triumph’s 230+ dealers. All color options cost the same.
