The Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X have just undergone a major change — a shift from 399cc to a new 350cc engine. But here’s the twist: despite the downsizing (largely driven by GST benefits), the real-world performance hasn’t taken the hit you’d expect. So what exactly changed? In this video, we break down how Bajaj and Triumph reworked the engine — retaining the same bore and piston while shortening the stroke with a revised con-rod. The result? Slightly lower torque on paper, but surprisingly similar performance on the road. We also analyse: Power vs torque impact of the shorter stroke Real-world ride feel vs spec sheet numbers Whether this change affects touring, city riding, or fun factor And most importantly — are these still worth buying? If you were considering the Triumph 400 twins, this update might actually make them more accessible without compromising what made them special in the first place. 👉 Watch till the end for the full breakdown of the new 350cc Triumph twins.
