Overview
- Triumph has scheduled an India launch event for April 6–7 to unveil its new sub-350cc lineup.
- The new motor is expected to be a scaled-down version of the existing 398/400cc single, likely achieved by reducing the bore to about 349cc.
- Early reporting estimates output at roughly 35 bhp and 32–33 Nm, down from the 400cc engine’s ~40 bhp and 37.5 Nm.
- Prices are expected to undercut current 400cc models by about Rs 15,000–20,000 due to the lower tax slab, with official figures to be confirmed at launch.
- Industry reporting suggests KTM’s 390 range and Bajaj’s Dominar 400 and NS400Z could follow with similar downsizing, though timelines remain unclear.
