Big move from Triumph and Harley Davidson
The moment many of us were waiting for arrived and how! July 3, 2023 Harley Davidson x440 launched in India at the state of the art center of innovation and technology (CIT) of HeroMotoCorp and just a couple of days later the Bajaj Triumph’s partnership launched their first two motorcycles the Scrambler 400x and the Speed 400.
All the bikes ignite the fire of excitement in the Indian biking community as they are very competitively priced under 2.5 lakhs ex-showroom.
The design of the Harley is taken from the big brothers of the x440 which will grow later with the road presence of the motorcycle. On the other hand Triumph has kept it very simple, the old scrambler design language and the Speed 400 is also kept simple as a roadster which makes it very easy to adapt.
The Tyres which are obviously very important for the bikes, have the width of 140 section rear tyre for the Harley and the Triumph scrambler 400 on the other hand the Speed 400 is having 150 section rear tyre. Triumph is using MRF tyres for both the motorcycles and as well as Harley is doing the same.
The service interval for both Triumph bikes is good which is one year or 10k kms whichever is the earliest. Don’t know much about Harley’s service interval though. The longer service interval is a big relief as you don’t have to run to the service station again and again.
We’re really excited to see what all of the three young motorcycles feel like while riding! Let us know how you feel about it!
