2026 Triumph Speed 400: BOLD & SPORTY OR ELEGANT? YOUR CHOICE!

Introducing the 2026 Triumph Speed 400…

The Speed 400 brings Triumph’s unmistakable stripped back custom style, agile handling, responsive performance, and category-defining build quality to a new class of rider.

STYLISH MODERN CLASSICS

Delivering a fresh visual identity that blends subtle sophistication with head-turning style, Triumph is launching fresh, contemporary designs for the Speed 400, Scrambler 400 X and Scrambler 1200 X.

For the Speed 400, riders have a choice of a timeless new two-tone tank in Pearl Metallic White and Phantom Black with a Royal Gold stripe, adding a touch of elegance, or a bold sporty combination in Lava Red Gloss and Storm Grey with a Graphite fuel tank stripe, complemented by Matt Silver Ice mudguards.

With a vibrant scheme that reflects the Scrambler’s off-road spirit, the Scrambler 400 X now has the option of a two-tone fuel tank in Baja Orange and Aluminium, contrasted with Matt Silver Ice mudguards, Phantom Black side panels, and Matt Phantom Black fork protectors.

The adventurous Scrambler 1200 X has a new tank in Triumph’s trademark off-road paint, Matt Khaki Green, complemented by a Phantom Black headlight bowl, side panels and mudguards, creating a rugged, military-inspired look.
