Triumph may launch two more 400cc motorcycles: adventure bike and café racer may arrive in 2025
The worldwide success of Triumph‘s T-Series range shows that the company is on the right track, as its 400cc bikes are performing very well in their categories.
Currently composed of the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, the line should gain, in 2025, at least two more members, according to rumors: the Tiger 400 and the Thruxton 400.
A little background: The T-Series range was developed in partnership between Triumph and Bajaj in India. The new models are the British manufacturer’s first mid-size single-cylinder models. After being launched in the Asian country in 2023, they were launched worldwide in 2024.
The Thruxton 400 would be the next motorcycle to be launched. With a sportier feel and café racer style, the model would be an alternative for those who want a motorcycle with these features, but at an affordable price.
The other bet would be the Tiger 400. This model makes a lot of sense, since the Tiger line is the British company’s most successful and, currently, is made up of the Tiger 900, Tiger 1200, Tiger 850 Sport and Tiger Sport 660 models.
If it does indeed launch, the Tiger 400 would also be a huge success, as it would offer plenty of adventure-oriented performance in a compact and affordable package. Furthermore, it would not have much competition, as both Honda and Yamaha, for example, do not have a model with these 350-450cc characteristics.
Today, it would compete in the market, mainly, with the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. Other models could also rival the Tiger 400, but we believe they would lose in terms of performance due to their inferior engine, such as the Kawasaki Versys X-300 and the BMW G 310 GS.
Both Yamaha and Honda do not have a model to compete with the Tiger 400, although the latter has the CB 500X (which is being replaced by the NX 500), but it is a crossover, not a pure adventure bike.
Anyway, it’s only a matter of time before we have a few more Triumph models on its T-Series platform, with 400cc engines and an affordable price.
