The upcoming Triumph Scrambler T4, which is being developed and manufactured in India in collaboration with Bajaj, has been spotted testing abroad, indicating that the launch is now on the horizon. This new motorcycle is expected to be the scrambler-style sibling of the Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X – but with its own distinct identity and styling.
After the success of the Triumph-Bajaj 400cc platform, the T4 could become the next big thing in India’s mid-capacity adventure/scrambler segment.
Design and Styling: Rugged Yet Retro
From the spy images, the Scrambler T4 carries the classic Triumph scrambler design DNA, while offering new-age off-road capability.
Key Styling Features (Expected):
- High-mounted twin exhausts for off-road clearance
- Round LED headlamp with DRL ring
- Upswept tail section with ribbed single-piece seat
- Wire-spoke wheels and block-pattern tyres
- Long-travel suspension with fork gaiters
- Minimalist tank and classic Triumph badging
The design perfectly blends retro looks with modern scrambler toughness, targeting both city riders and weekend trail explorers.
Engine and Platform
The Scrambler T4 will likely use the same 398cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine found in the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X.
Engine Specs (Expected):
- Power: Around 40 PS
- Torque: 37.5 Nm
- 6-speed gearbox
- Slipper clutch and ride-by-wire throttle
While the engine might remain the same, the gear ratios, suspension travel, and overall tuning may be adjusted for better off-road capability and more relaxed trail riding.
Off-Road Enhancements and Hardware
Being a true scrambler, the T4 is expected to offer real off-road readiness.
Mechanical Upgrades:
- Increased ground clearance over the Scrambler 400X
- Longer travel suspension – front USD forks, rear mono-shock
- Wire-spoke wheels – possibly 19-inch front, 17-inch rear
- Dual-purpose tyres
- Skid plate and wider handlebar for better control
This setup will appeal to riders who enjoy dirt trails, bad roads, or weekend adventure trips.
Features and Tech
Even though the T4 is built to be rugged, it won’t compromise on modern technology.
Expected Features:
- Digital or semi-digital instrument console
- All-LED lighting setup
- Dual-channel ABS (switchable at rear wheel)
- USB charging port
- Optional luggage rack and hand guards
Triumph may also offer official accessory packs to customize the bike for touring or adventure use.
Launch Timeline and Production
Since the Scrambler T4 is being co-developed with Bajaj and test mules are already spotted internationally, the global unveil is expected by end of 2025, with the India launch shortly after.
Production will happen at Bajaj’s Chakan plant, which currently handles the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X for both domestic and export markets.
Expected Price in India
Thanks to local manufacturing, the Scrambler T4 will be aggressively priced, likely slightly higher than the Scrambler 400X.
Estimated Price Range:
- ₹2.90 lakh to ₹3.20 lakh (ex-showroom)
This price point will make it one of the most accessible true scrambler-style motorcycles in India with a premium badge.
Rivals in the Segment
Once launched, the Triumph Scrambler T4 will compete with:
- Royal Enfield Scram 411
- Yezdi Scrambler
- Husqvarna Svartpilen 401
- Honda CB350RS
- Hero Mavrick 440 (to some extent)
However, Triumph’s global brand value and refined engine may give it an edge over rivals.
Final Thoughts: The Scrambler to Watch Out For
The Triumph Scrambler T4 is shaping up to be a rugged, fun, and stylish motorcycle that blends British heritage with Indian affordability. Whether you’re an urban rider or an off-road enthusiast, this bike could hit the sweet spot between retro appeal and real adventure capability.
If you’re planning a new motorcycle around the ₹3 lakh mark, this one’s worth waiting for.
