Ever since the MY25 Triumph Speed 400 was released lately, there has been an adequate amount of excitement that arose in the motorcycle fraternity. Initially, Triumph announced the new model with a blacked-out exhaust; it was customer feedback which put this much-needed and very popular brushed aluminum exhaust back to the table. Now let’s get into what really makes the MY25 Speed 400 special, along with why the decision of holding onto the brushed aluminum exhaust brings more appeal to the newly designed Speed 400 model.
MY25 Triumph Speed 400: Everything You Need To Know, All Key Upgrades and Changes
This time the Triumph Speed 400 does boast a new design change that benefits the modern-day rider. Launched at first in September 2024, the motorcycle presents some recently seen aesthetics coupled with designs complementing its performance. For Rs 2.40 lakh the MY25 Speed 400 offers modern looks without forfeiting comfort or handling qualities.
The return of brushed aluminum exhaust to be one of the bike’s major updates. The idea, when they launched the blacked-out exhaust for Speed 400, was that it was time to make its looks more modern. Old-time enthusiasts and customers quickly let them know how much they were not going to like that as they would voice their very strong opinions on maintaining the original look of brushed metal finish. So, Triumph revived the aluminum exhaust so customer satisfaction can come first; in other words, they wanted to keep the bike’s signature look.
Comfort and Ergonomics Enhanced Even Further for Smoother Rides
The MY25 Speed 400 includes ergonomic upgrades that enhance comfort and ease of use. Riders can adjust the clutch and brake levers to match their preferences, ensuring an optimal fit for each individual. This customization enhances comfort for riders of all sizes, making both short and long journeys enjoyable experiences.
However, the MY25 Speed 400 brings an enhanced seat that’s more cushioned to stay comfortable for longer. To meet the comfort needs of any rider, Triumph also wanted to know that many speed 400 owners often want to ride for more considerable distances. The upgraded seat and adjustable levers make the ride smoother and more relaxed, appealing to both casual riders and seasoned bikers alike.
Tire and Suspension Changes Improving Stability
One of the most technical up-grading in MY25 Speed 400 happens with tire and suspension. Triumph settled on Vredestein Centauro radial tyres for better stability and traction. The 110/80-17 front tire and 150/70-17 rear tire provide improved road contact and enhance ride quality.
Because of the profile tires, the suspension travel has been altered. The front and rear suspension travel decreased by 10 mm in both cases. This reduces the motorcycle’s stability as well as its ride ability for better handling. The rake angle of the updated version stands at 25.1 degrees, whereas the old model had a rake angle of 24.6 degrees. These alterations improve stability while preserving the bike’s nimbleness, making it ideal for both city commutes and open-road rides.

Subtle design refinement. Improved wheelbase, Handlebar width
This is the MY25 Speed 400 that incorporates the improved wheelbase and slightly enlarged handlebar width for improving ride experience. The update improved the wheelbase, and it has been now moved from 1377mm to 1386 mm. That has led to stability rather than to some loss in maneuverability, which actually helps extend comfort for riders, which becomes a slight relaxed geometrical setup and compliments good bike touring with stability while hitting high speed.
In handlebar width, there was an improvement through 814 mm to 829 mm. The greater width allows the rider to grip more and provides more leverage and enables control within the tight corners or on quick maneuvers. The minutest of changes here provide a lot for agility as well as a feeling in riding.
Performance Overview: The Reliable 398 cc TR-Series Engine
The MY25 Speed 400 will come with the 398 cc TR-Series engine, proven unit that has been previously used in models. It develops 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm, so this is a pretty respectable power for a motorcycle in the segment. The torque peaks at 37.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm, which guarantees quick acceleration on the roads of the city as well as on highways.
It offers easy, precise shifts through torque-assist clutches at stop-and-go traffic conditions or while riding long distances. So, this all makes a perfect combination – the well-balanced well-tuned engine and six-speed gearbox in the impressive Speed 400 for MY25 which is versatile in both varying road conditions and riding styles.
Besides performance, aesthetics was another area where the attention to detail turned out well, especially by the color options available for the MY25 Speed 400. Featuring Racing Yellow, Pearl Metallic White, Racing Red, and Phantom Black, these colors each present an alternative personality and style.
In totality, the look of this bike is pretty fresh and modern while being able to retain some aspects of classic appeal to satisfy the fans. With this brushed aluminum exhaust, this MY25 Speed 400 brings back this nostalgic feeling combined with its sleek, lines bodywork. Triumph definitely managed to mix tradition in with modernity to present a motorcycle that would go well with long-time followers and new riders alike.
