Triumph Speed 400, Scrambler 400 X launched in Malaysia

TRIUMPH Motorcycles Malaysia has officially launched the Triumph T-Series range in the Malaysian market, consisting of two models – the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X.

The Speed 400 is a roadster that joins the modern classic lineup alongside the Speed Twin 900 and 1200, while the Scrambler 400 X takes its rugged design cues from the Scrambler 900 and 1200, with an off-road pedigree that goes back to the first factory Scramblers of the 1950s.

Both models are powered by the same TR-Series liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a displacement of 398 cc, producing 40 PS and 37.5 Nm of torque. The engine complies with Euro 5 emission standards and is paired with a six-speed transmission.

While sharing the same ‘heart’, the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X offer individual chassis configurations to provide different riding positions.

The Speed 400 comes with a 43 mm inverted fork, a mono-shock absorber with external reservoir, 17-inch front and rear aluminium alloy wheels, and a 300 mm front brake disc matched with a four-piston radial caliper. It also comes with a seat height of 790 mm and an overall weight of 170 kg.

On the other hand, the Scrambler 400 X employs the same suspension setup but with a higher travel of 150 mm. This version is also equipped with a 19-inch front wheel, a wider handlebar, and a larger 320 mm brake disc.

The footpegs are positioned lower, while the seat is slightly raised to 835 mm. Its weight also increases by 9 kg compared to the Speed 400.

Both models feature Ride-by-Wire, Traction Control, and dual-channel ABS, which can be deactivated for off-road riding on the Scrambler 400 X.

Other niceties include LED lights, an LCD screen with a digital tachometer, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, USB-C charging socket, and an immobilizer.

Selling prices start from RM26,900 for the Speed 400 and RM29,900 for the Scrambler 400 X.
