A big move has come from Triumph Motorcycles and it directly hits pricing and performance together. The brand has introduced a new range of 350cc bikes in India and also reduced prices by a good margin. This change comes after the engine has been reworked to fit under the lower tax bracket.
The new lineup now starts from Rs 1.95 lakh and goes up to around Rs 2.89 lakh.
What has changed
- The earlier 398cc engine is now reduced to 349cc
- This has been done by making changes inside the engine
- Engine revisions help bring GST down to 18 percent
- Earlier bikes above 350cc were taxed much higher
Power has gone slightly down but low speed performance will feel stronger
- New 349cc single cylinder liquid cooled engine
- Power ranges between 29 PS to 40 PS
- Torque stays around 31 to 32 Nm
- Better pull in city and traffic use
- Bikes continue with the same 400 name
