Triumph Tracker 400 Review – Style Meets Everyday Rideability

Bajaj Auto and Triumph Motorcycles partnership has spawned yet another 400 class (350cc) motorcycle in the form of Tracker 400. The motorcycle was launched way back in April 2026 and prices were announced at the same occasion as the media rides of 350cc Triumph 400 family, (Speed, Scrambler, Thruxton).

Media rides for Tracker 400 were held at Bajaj’s Akurdi facility in Pune a couple of days ago and the embargo lifted today, 25th July. It has to be noted that deliveries of this motorcycle commenced in April 2026. After riding it in and around Pune city, this is what we think of Triumph’s latest 400 class motorcycle with Tracker styling.

Triumph Tracker 400 Review

The launch price of Triumph Tracker 400 is Rs 2.46 lakh (Ex-sh) and there are three colours to choose from – Aluminium Silver, Phantom Black and Racing Yellow. We rode the Racing Yellow, but we think Aluminium Silver has a more sophisticated and aesthetic vibe to it, while Racing Yellow pops out more. People preferring stealthy aesthetics will be drawn to Phantom Black.

As per the company, Triumph Tracker 400 is a tracker by form and not a tracker by function. So, it has the design of a flat tracker and not the functionality and it should not be treated as a tracker at all. Instead, this is a celebration of one of the oldest forms of motorcycle racing, popularised by American brands like Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycles.

In that regard, Triumph Tracker 400 has a headlight and front brakes to meet regulations. Looking at the Tracker 400, we have to say that Bajaj and Triumph have done a good job in captivating the overall essence of a flat tracker motorcycle. Even though it shares most of its components with other Triumph 400 motorcycles along with some unique bits, it has a distinct look.

Tracker Aesthetics

For starters, we can see a unique fuel tank with Tracker 400 which sort of resembles that of Thruxton 400 with its long semi-teardrop shape with knee recesses. This fuel tank has an off-set fuel filler cap on top along with Triumph logo and TRACKER lettering on the sides. Circular LED headlights continue and Tracker 400 gets a unique fly screen.

We wished the front number plate was positioned below headlight, which would have given a much cleaner look. The current positioning is between fly screen and headlight, which is a turn-off. The dual-spoke alloy wheels design and the hydroformed Aluminium handlebar with Tracker 400 are unique too and lend a distinct look over Speed 400.

The main design highlight of Tracker 400 is the side body panels where we can see side number boards, like in a racing motorcycle. Tracker 400 borrows the same bolt-on rear subframe with the single-piece seat and removable rear cowl as Thruxton 400, while exhaust end-can is shared with Scrambler 400s. Tyres are MRF REVZ A/T block-pattern ones and rear tyre is 150-section in size.

Circular ORVMs are shared with other Triumph 400s along with the semi-digital instrument cluster, tail lights, LED turn indicators, braking hardware, traction control, dual-channel ABS, suspension (identical to Thruxton 400’s including damping coefficient and travel), overall fit and finish and the 349cc liquid-cooled engine.

New 350cc Engine

The engine on Tracker 400 is an all-new unit, which is shared with other Triumph 400 motorcycles. It displaces exactly 349cc and is a single cylinder liquid cooled unit with a DOHC 4V/cyl head. This engine has the exact same higher-spec tune as Thruxton 400, which is 40 PS of peak power and 32 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slip and assist clutch and a 6-speed gearbox.

In our experience, this engine feels exactly the same as it did with Thruxton 400, which is not a bad thing. Overall refinement is rather impressive and we even liked the exhaust note and intake sounds this engine makes. Vibrations are minimal and whatever you feel at mid-level revs speeds can be passed as character, rather than being annoying or spine-shattering.

We like the way this engine puts down power because the gearbox is precise and we never encountered false neutrals in between gears. It picks up pace quite quickly and one can rev the engine and get it singing to enjoy the upper mid-range and top-end performance and the duality of this engine allows for lower speeds at higher gears (relatively). Clutch action is light too.

Ergonomics, Ride and Comfort

Triumph Tracker 400 may look like a slightly different-looking motorcycle with many shared components with other Triumph 400s. However, it offers a unique riding experience because Tracker 400 gets reworked ergonomics. It has a 23 mm wider handlebar and this handlebar is placed 134 mm lower than in Speed 400.

Also, rider’s footpegs are positioned 86 mm behind and 27 mm higher than in Speed 400. The combination of these two has ensured a unique rider’s triangle that you won’t find in any other Triumph 400 motorcycles. It is not too upright and conventional like in a Scrambler 400X, but not as committed as Thruxton 400. It slots right in the middle and can be termed as sporty.

Seat height is 795 mm, which is not exactly tall, but the seat shape does not allow for uninterrupted access to the ground. This makes it feel slightly higher than what is, but is not bothersome. Kerb weight of Tracker 400 is 181 kg and is 2 kg lighter than Thruxton 400, which weighs 183 kg.

Because the suspension setup is similar to Thruxton 400, it rides similarly as well. It inspires confidence to push the machine harder and is eager to lean into a corner. The sporty ergonomics puts rider in a fun mood, which is quite a nice feeling, compared to Speed 400 and is way more comfortable than the committed riding position than the clip-ons of Thruxton 400.

Conclusion

At Rs 2.46 lakh (Ex-sh), Triumph Tracker 400 brings a lot of value to the table as it is now the most affordable Triumph 400 motorcycle to offer the higher state of tune of Thruxton 400. It sits right in the middle of Speed 400 and Thruxton 400 in terms of sportiness, which many are likely to find as a sweet spot.

Sure, we would have liked an analogue tacho to see the revs climb, but that is just nitpicking now. Overall performance and VFM quotient of Tracker 400 is quite high and we also have to consider the unique flat tracker aesthetics that it brings to the table. So, if you are in the market for a retro machine with a unique personality, Tracker 400 should be high up your wishlist.
