What a fantastic review. Simple and to the point with fantastic visuals. I wonder how they managed to keep it clean despite the rains. Also, glad that PD had access to the blue colour one. I think this is the colour I want for sure though I had booked the red one. Looking forward to getting my own very very soon. Also, Varun, yes we felt your joy while watching the review and also love the new look.
@@adeshmatkar3591bruh.. if u like the riding feel of a motor cycle you should have gone for it. People's opinion doesn't really matter.. unless you ride like a chapri you shouldn't really care about it!
One thing, not about bike.. it’s phenomenal…. The relation we as viewers (at least me) build with the channel , Varun, and all the others who has been, and are a part of the this family, is something more than a ‘through the screen’ relation. It feel like we are one, we all know each other and these machines pulls us together. These machines!
There is one correction 2:45 Indian suspension required firm setting to avoid the bottoming effect in pot holes and other than India like Europe and US requires soft settings as there's road are well maintained without the treacherous potholes
While I quite enjoy riding the bike, it has been an absolute disaster till now owning one. Khivraj Triumph Chennai has been absolute rubbish as well. Valvetrain noise which Khivraj Triumph refused to acknowledge and I had to bring the roof down in the showroom, make a scene and write multiple emails to Bajaj/KTM/Triumph before they sent someone from the factory and replaced the entire head assembly - valves, guides, springs, camshafts, rocker arms and all. They were also quite clueless to the cause and have as of now not bothered to disclose the issue which seems to be prevalent on multiple engines to varying degrees though the rhetoric has been.. Do a 1000 kms and the 1st oil change will make it butter smooth. Yeah right. I was born yesterday. Some examples are smooth and refined (esp the ones put on test ride duty) and some are pure garbage and need some serious intervention like mine. Now the cone set has failed and is awaiting replacement (parts are shared with the pulsar NS, yes the part nos match). The bike was delivered with a dent on the tank (tank replaced on Day 1), the odd nuts and bolts loose (exhaust header, exhaust heat shields etc), no coolant in the reservoir, scratch on the instrument console (the buggers wipe it with the same soiled cloth they use to clean the wheels and other muck on delivery day and there were too many other problems to deal with to really fuss about this scratch on day 1), bubbling paint on the headlight rim (awaiting replacement next), bar end mirrors not torqued properly that they would keep spinning around the bar, tyre pressures set to 36PSI front and back (Reco is 26 and 33 respectively) and almost zero fuel in the tank (gauge was not showing a single bar). Talking about fuel and tank, the fuel gauge has a mind of its own. I've owned the 1st gen Caliber, Eliminator 175, Pulsar 200 2nd gen DTSi, Avenger 200 Oil Cooled, 1st gen KTM Duke 200, 2nd Gen KTM Duke 390 all from the Bajaj stable and never faced such issues either with upfront quality or the service center listening to your issues. Put a Triumph sticker on it and they believe the name overshadows crappy quality levels and even crappier service support from Khivraj Triumph Chennai. A huge no of parts are from the Bajaj stable ... yes... part nos match for a huge bunch of components. This bike is an amalgamation of the Duke, Dominar, Pulsars, Avengers and others. Nothing bad about that. Keeps cost down. But stop pretending that this has come all the way from Hinckley. They need to sort the bike out and their dealers out more before people start seeing it for what it really is. I still like the bike tho. Just wish the support was something to crow about.
Hi Bro, I like your way of reviewing motorcycles because you stick to point rather than beating round the bush and explain it in a simple manner. That is the reason i am putting my point of view and question in front of you to seek some advice which will help me to invest my money wisely in the best 400cc category bike. I was actually looking for a 250cc bike but since i am getting a 400cc bike in the same price range i am planning for 400cc/450cc bike. Now i am looking for a bike which is speed, fun and thrilling but when only when i want it to be so.. And i want it to be reasonably fast and as well as calm rest of the time while i am cruising & commuting in city. And i found out Speed 400 to be the perfect match but i can't ignore how capable Guerilla 450 is but i am not one who prefers such a aggressive riding everytime i go out for a ride. So i heard Guerilla's performance is reduced in eco mode. So my question is: 1. If i put Guerilla 450 in eco mode how much percent of horsepower and torque is available? 2. Is the Guerilla's eco mode similar to Speed 400 normal performance or how less or more is it? 3. Also please explain more about guerilla's eco mode performance. Thanks
At the outset KTM 390 still has the edge when performance is considered, cheap to maintain too. Boys may still like ktm, little mature ones may prefer triump. Let's see when hero launches their 400 xpulse and Honda CRF L 300,yamaha T 700 ( Though expensive) , Lots of bikes to hot up market.
I am a proud speed 400 and love my speed 400. and btw it would have been better if they gave the same twin dial setup as their old sibling the speed twin 1200 never the less, I absolutely still enjoy riding this bike.❤👌😁😍😊❤🔥
Triumph use fully synthetic Castrol engine oil in their bigger models. All their classic model has 16000km /1 year service intervals and 10000 km for Adv/Roadster.
Nice review but I have observed this for many years PD always have a soft corner when it comes to Bajaj or its associated products (KTM, Kawak and now this). PD went with Motorcycle of the year too soon. We still have 5 more months with few more launches lined up particularly everyone is looking upto the Himalayan 450. Lets see how that one comes out.
Motorcycle of the year TODAY! Also, a product is defined by how it feels. We know there are 5 more months and we are equally excited for everything that will pop up next. But TODAY, this is an exceptional motorcycle. Rarely do we get to say this.
Cb350 runs 120 kmph comfortably with absolute smoothness all day but lacks top speed being 135 kmph. That seems quiet sufficient for unpredictable India roads . Considering speed limiting coming in places where speed is demanding that does make sense anything above 80 kmph.
yo varun whenever reviews about a new product comes out i head straight to powerdrift first thing . your videos are so much fun to watch. keep up the good work!!
Hey Varun... it's good to see 400 segment being in trend now....and what brands are offering is unbelievable...but what do you think about Royal Enfield their comeback in this lineup!
@@VarunPainter yeah man.. and definitely their is one more market for adventure bikes ...I wondering how 400cc adventure will look like with slight change in price...I do own Apache 160cc matte black special edition. I am in love with my bike and satisfied with the performance..but I wish to have an adventure bike in my garage. It's like my dream garage for now.☺️I am guessing that TVS also has some plan ahead...🤞🤞
Please make a short or a reel discussing the rumors spreading regarding the price.. some image is circulating where the on road is way higher...and bajaj also released a statement but i feel a motoring channel like powerdrfit should clear this out cause every reviewer out is giving this bike great rating and always talking about that price.
Had been saving for the last 2 years to get meself a interceptor 650.. I've saved almost enough to get that bike and now Bajaj Triumph do this 😢 my head still says go for parallel twin.. nothing beats that engine.. but my heart aches for baby Triumph 🥲😮 I'm in a fix. What to do man, what to do!
The interceptor although has a gold engine, it still has bad brakes, and wobbling issue at high speed. Plus rumour has it that RE's service isn't really that good. With the Speed/Scram400 or the upcoming RE Himalayan 450/ Scram 450, it is to be seen how that bike performs. But considering the VFM factor plus the fit and finish of this Triumph, i can say it is gonna be much better offer than the RE. Take a test ride and make a decision.
Should i choose speed 400 over honda cbr350 rs? I live in a small city so i will be riding 80% in city and 20% on highway and also i am 6 feet tall. Need your valuable advice.
Please do a comparison of Speed 400 vs Apache RR 310. I know both bikes are way too different in many aspects but I am truly in a dilemma about which one to buy!
Somehow... The new interceptor with alloy wheels seem a better deal for me. Triumph showrooms are anyway quoting 3.30+ lacs for this. Why not pay a few thousands more and get the dual cylinder beauty? Its tried and tested.
0:16 I never thought this bike was liquid cooled owing to the cooling fins, so I was surprised when Varun said it and then researched it and it's true! Just makes this bike even more value for money for me now!
Brakes were fairly new and it was raining almost all the time. Heating is something that we can figure out when we get it for a full road test. Having said all of this, the brakes took a while to get upto speed but once there, we felt there was a lack of initial bite and the overall setup to be progressive. Its a decent setup
"The price point at which the speed 400 comes in at there will be a bunch of new riders that will probably look at this as their very first motorcycle" Sure 🤣🤣. Who starts with a 400 cc motorcycle in India? These people are so out of touch with the reality.
You should look the motorbike riders outside India. It's just that India is a price sensitive market and wanting more mileage and value for money with lower cc bikes.
Will this feel special to ride, say a year down the line? I am getting my first motorcycle and intend to keep it for many years. I am not sure if I will feel like I am not just riding a commuter but something fun and fast. Maybe it’s just unnecessary concern but just want to hear your thoughts.
But my question is, what about servicing? Will it be done by bajaj or trimph itself? This question has been raised because there is no trimph showroom/service center in my town and nearest is about 200km.
Triumph has created a bomb 💥. Thier is no doubt that the new speed 400 is a exceptional value for money motorcycle in its segment. It looks superb, gets good features, very good engine performance and then the impressive fit finish , built quality and reliability that company known for . And all these comes at an onroad price of under 3 lakh rupees. Worth every single rupees. 😍❤️.
I'm worried about the service cost I believe the service cost couldn't be below 8k minimum. How much do you think the service would be, considering your knowledge about Triumph motorcycles
@@VarunPainter absolutely made my day, what a wonderful time it is to be part of the biking community in India ♥️🤘🤩 Thank you soo much for such a wonderful review of the Triumph Speed 400 and looking forward for Scrambler 400 up next. Thanks for your time to respond to an individual query Wishes for wonderful times ahead!!! 🤘🤘
@@VarunPainterin terms of impact I'd say it reminds us of the original ktm 390. In a segment where bikes are priced around 3 lakh ex showroom mark it's a breeze of joy bringing a capable bike to the masses
@@VarunPainter Impact comes a tad bit later, but the silhouette, power & torque, the quality that you've mentioned, and especially in the blue colour, reminds me of the "Definitely male" tag. Oh yes.. and the (introductory) price to rule them all! The "Indian" connection might be the furthest Triumph would've wanted, but they nailed it! So "Shhhh!"
@@powerdriftofficial Modern, but as retro as it goes, (from the consumers point of view, especially how it shoves it right in the "hot" segment) the retro-modern everyone (like me) dreams. Sad the dealerships too few and far. And I'm not really a fan of round headlights. Its the curves! 😉
If you were to choose between triumph speed 400 and Harley Davidson x440, Which one would you pick? (I'm going to buy a bike which will be my first ever bike)
You are looking at the wrong motorcycles to compare. We had an internal chat and after riding both these motorcycles, we felt that the X440 goes up against the Classic and the H'Ness while the Speed is more against the Domi.
Varun really looked so happy in this, Haven't been this excited since leaks, any guesses for more body types on same engine, some were saying of Thruxton 400, or a tiger maybe.
Digital speedos have speed error, even R1M suffers from 4 kmph difference, on entry levels like pulsar speedo error is about 20kmph at top speed. This is made for commuters in mind so they want you to see the analogue speed to avoid challans.
@@DerekHellscream well those who are gonna ride it in top speed would never care about chalan. And those who cares about chalan would never go over speed limit even if they cannot see the speed on the dash. This point is completely invalid.
@@Mini-ggr2r you're literally commenting from your mom's account Why would someone take you seriously Still I will explain, a biker/ enthusiastic driver cares more about engine RPM than speed. While riding/ driving fast all we need to do is maintain perfect RPM and shift at a certain time. Take true retro legends for example, The RX135, the tachometer is more visible than the speedo. That's why no matter if it's a retro or supersport the most important gauge in a enthusiast car/ bike always should be tachometer.
What are you even saying man??? it doesn't wanna do 120 130, but can do 80 easily. what about 90 100 110. should I not drive at that speed? what about seat, what if I want to tour..., what do you mean by buzz? is it a bothersome buzz? so should I not do 100-120 on highway on this? this is such a poor review of a bike
@@powerdriftofficial Appreciate the effort to reply back to this , however the missing is not pinpointed on this video, its in general. There was life when the bike reviews were presented rather than just sticking on to the company provided details , that was what separated PD from others. The urge to watch ur videos is missing . P.S : my personal opinion, subjective to change😇😇
I was about to take interceptor becos i have no other option now i took back and booked this premium looking bike with great quality and performance. And now i can myself a triumph owner
The presenter is really good.. after a while I am viewing powerdeift reviews and this presenter really knows his stuffs . Sorry to say but after Sarg left , things were not looking good to be frank
Whats the point of having a TOP speed of 160 Kph and limiting the legal highwayspeeds of 2 wheelers to 60 kph. Dont get the logic behind it. Please do enlighten us @PD
My whole point is why the govt is allowing vehicles with higher speeds.Agreed that the majority of the people do not follow traffic rules or give heed to speed limits but again limiting the 2 wheeler speed limit to 60 don't make sense. The only thing make sense is that the govt will swell their income through FINES which is what happening across Kerala. They have put across AI cams. Poor guys who love their bikes but can't really appreciate it's performance side.
The whole character of "Powerdrift" has changed. It used to be exciting back in the 2014s & 2015s but now the creators can't even keep up with the name "Powerdrift".
There are special projects in the pipeline that will keep you entertained. For a first ride, time is our enemy and there's only so much that we can pull off. Apologies Sankalp, we aim to get better
I love how this review came out, thou others said its easy riding 120-130, 80kmph no vibs thing is something that again every other person is saying. Loved how varun himself is replying to all comments, still a ques varun, what is that thing that limits you to cruise at say, 130kmph. Ps- i booked the bike before launch and definitely buying it. I have ride Dominar first edition,duke 390 and currently riding hness350
Hunter is still 90K to 1L cheaper on road than this Motorcycle that is a very big gap in mass two wheeler market, Like PD said its not a direct comparison
This Speed 400 expected to come to Indonesia around january 2024. But, it would be not affordable for indonesian. Still, this is a premium bike for average indonesian.
All Triumph needs to work is on the delarship expansion, better after sales and maintenance costs.. Triumph already has a potential winner on their cards 👍💯
Impressive presentation Varun Bhai & nice editing by powerdrift team. Varun Bhai , Did you anyhow feel the bike to be a bit small for your height? You are 6ft right ?
The excitement over the price is totally justified. But i have seen a image floating around internet where the on-road price was around 3.5L. Not sure if it is legit! But if thats the case then i don't think it's that much of a value 🤔
What a fantastic review. Simple and to the point with fantastic visuals. I wonder how they managed to keep it clean despite the rains. Also, glad that PD had access to the blue colour one. I think this is the colour I want for sure though I had booked the red one. Looking forward to getting my own very very soon.

0:16 I never thought this bike was liquid cooled owing to the cooling fins, so I was surprised when Varun said it and then researched it and it's true! Just makes this bike even more value for money for me now!
The fins are also aesthetic. Modern-retro right? ;)
Is there any chance that we get after-market exhausts for these Triumph 400s bike in future? To give bit more bass, etc.
A single cylinder will only do so much to sound better. Getting an aftermarket setup will ruin the existing note we feel
There will be a world of aftermarket accessories that will open up soon.
Thank you for response. Waiting for Scrambler
The Red looks best, black also not too bad
Blue looks good too!
Powerdrift, where is the mention of braking, heating? In chase of visuals, don't forget important information.
Brakes were fairly new and it was raining almost all the time. Heating is something that we can figure out when we get it for a full road test. Having said all of this, the brakes took a while to get upto speed but once there, we felt there was a lack of initial bite and the overall setup to be progressive. Its a decent setup
I hope you have your answer :)
@@powerdriftofficial Good to know that and thanks for the answer! 💗
This is what the Honda CB350 should have been instead of just another long stroke Thumper.
We agree. A little pep never hurt anybody.
Well there is a CB300R though overpriced ?
What a review man, superb Varun. Kudos man
Woohooooo!
Thank you :)
"The price point at which the speed 400 comes in at there will be a bunch of new riders that will probably look at this as their very first motorcycle" Sure 🤣🤣. Who starts with a 400 cc motorcycle in India? These people are so out of touch with the reality.
Haven't you answered the question yourself?
You should look the motorbike riders outside India. It's just that India is a price sensitive market and wanting more mileage and value for money with lower cc bikes.
Me who has never bought a bike or ridden one
Yes this bike is mine! 🤣 This is so me yaar but yeah I'm gonna reconsider imma try buying TVS Ronin
I started with cb 350cc
Why not if its simple to ride? People buy the Classic 350 as their first bike. Its still a 350 right? Got a reality check? :D
Finally!! I was eagerly waiting for this 🥹
Loved it ?
@@powerdriftofficial As Always Yes 😁
IT IS HEERRREEEE
Booked on the launch day itself!
Congratulations
Selling Jawa 300, booking speed 400.
Jawa 300? 🤔🤔🤔
Definitely a different bike
05:02 pretty smooth! 🔥
Our editor is a smooth operator.
@@powerdriftofficial I agree! Your editors have been amazing every single time!
Hahhahha
sir will it be serviced at bajaj service center or at triumph.
Triumph centres operated by Bajaj
You have you answer :)
True happiness after long time.. 💥🔮
We agree.
How is it pitched against the duke?
The price difference makes it stand apart but we have something in the making :)
In terms of spec, close. In terms of feel, you gotta wait for just a little bit more :)
@@VarunPainter thank you will be waiting for this one from you 🙏
Will this feel special to ride, say a year down the line? I am getting my first motorcycle and intend to keep it for many years. I am not sure if I will feel like I am not just riding a commuter but something fun and fast. Maybe it’s just unnecessary concern but just want to hear your thoughts.
We obviously haven't ridden it for a year but its a sweet ride to say the least. Will keep you engaged for a long time.
@@powerdriftofficial Thanks for the reply
But why was the king been put down when it’s check mate (intro) 😂😂
Check mate was for pricing!
But my question is, what about servicing? Will it be done by bajaj or trimph itself? This question has been raised because there is no trimph showroom/service center in my town and nearest is about 200km.
In nagpur, they are saying that a very big bajaj service center will service it. Hope it helps.
Me in my mind “Dekho woh aagya”
hahahhaha
Bwahaha
Triumph has created a bomb 💥. Thier is no doubt that the new speed 400 is a exceptional value for money motorcycle in its segment. It looks superb, gets good features, very good engine performance and then the impressive fit finish , built quality and reliability that company known for . And all these comes at an onroad price of under 3 lakh rupees. Worth every single rupees. 😍❤️.
Nuclear!
@@powerdriftofficial yeah bro 😂😂 absolutely
A proper big bomb.
@@VarunPainter yeah,
The funny thing is if this bike was launched 2 years ago then i would bought it as my first motorcycle. 😂😂.
Mann , took me 16 times to play the video without an AD 😑
aee whaattt
I would have watched it anyways 😂
@@phoenix3580 Oh yeah!
17th time lucky.
I'm worried about the service cost
I believe the service cost couldn't be below 8k minimum.
How much do you think the service would be, considering your knowledge about Triumph motorcycles
We were told around 4500-5000
Not really. Under 5k
@@VarunPainter absolutely made my day, what a wonderful time it is to be part of the biking community in India
♥️🤘🤩
Thank you soo much for such a wonderful review of the Triumph Speed 400 and looking forward for Scrambler 400 up next.
Thanks for your time to respond to an individual query
Wishes for wonderful times ahead!!!
🤘🤘
@@shawnh4528 Cheers buddy!
Is Triumph still a British company or has it been sold ?
Its still a British company.
very much British. This is the India partnership
People are praising this motorcycle so much, that I am having second thoughts on my dream of buying a GS 310
We suggest a quick test ride. Plus a GS leans more towards the adventure side of things.
Reminds me of the original Bajaj Pulsar.
In terms of impact?
With the round lamp you mean? Not really. That was a different time. This looks so modern.
@@VarunPainterin terms of impact I'd say it reminds us of the original ktm 390. In a segment where bikes are priced around 3 lakh ex showroom mark it's a breeze of joy bringing a capable bike to the masses
@@VarunPainter Impact comes a tad bit later, but the silhouette, power & torque, the quality that you've mentioned, and especially in the blue colour, reminds me of the "Definitely male" tag. Oh yes.. and the (introductory) price to rule them all! The "Indian" connection might be the furthest Triumph would've wanted, but they nailed it! So "Shhhh!"
@@powerdriftofficial Modern, but as retro as it goes, (from the consumers point of view, especially how it shoves it right in the "hot" segment) the retro-modern everyone (like me) dreams. Sad the dealerships too few and far. And I'm not really a fan of round headlights. Its the curves! 😉
This bike price is same as the ktm250. And the top speed is 160 damn!😮 That's a big difference. Im just waiting for my money 💰.
If you were to choose between triumph speed 400 and Harley Davidson x440,
Which one would you pick?
(I'm going to buy a bike which will be my first ever bike)
Triumph anyday
@@sampathdan4688 okk
Mine too, please reply 😊
You are looking at the wrong motorcycles to compare. We had an internal chat and after riding both these motorcycles, we felt that the X440 goes up against the Classic and the H'Ness while the Speed is more against the Domi.
I feel test riding both will give you a lot more clarity. They are different motorcycles.
Does the speed 400 get bar end mirrors as standard?
I want to repaint my Triumph Speed 400. Can you suggest me some unique colors seen in expensive bikes that are suitable for this bike? Please reply!
Purple
I was waiting for Yamaha MT-03 but after seeing this beauty and its price I am now eager to own one 😍
The Yammie will be quite expensive too.
How can i buy one here in Assam?
From lalmati triumph showroom
Varun really looked so happy in this, Haven't been this excited since leaks, any guesses for more body types on same engine, some were saying of Thruxton 400, or a tiger maybe.
And the experience tops it all.
I truly was. This is a brilliant product
I hate the speedo
Why not an analogue taco and digital speedo
Why Triamph!!
Digital speedos have speed error, even R1M suffers from 4 kmph difference, on entry levels like pulsar speedo error is about 20kmph at top speed. This is made for commuters in mind so they want you to see the analogue speed to avoid challans.
@@DerekHellscream well those who are gonna ride it in top speed would never care about chalan.
And those who cares about chalan would never go over speed limit even if they cannot see the speed on the dash.
This point is completely invalid.
It's a retro morden motorcycle, look at it that way which makes will make sense
@@Mini-ggr2r you're literally commenting from your mom's account
Why would someone take you seriously
Still I will explain, a biker/ enthusiastic driver cares more about engine RPM than speed.
While riding/ driving fast all we need to do is maintain perfect RPM and shift at a certain time. Take true retro legends for example, The RX135, the tachometer is more visible than the speedo.
That's why no matter if it's a retro or supersport the most important gauge in a enthusiast car/ bike always should be tachometer.
Give editor a trimuph for amazing cutss🔥🔥
For sure :)
hahahahha
What are you even saying man???
it doesn't wanna do 120 130, but can do 80 easily.
what about 90 100 110. should I not drive at that speed?
what about seat, what if I want to tour..., what do you mean by buzz? is it a bothersome buzz? so should I not do 100-120 on highway on this? this is such a poor review of a bike
What a great prodcut!! What a great review!!❣But To whom this Checkmate for?? 😆
The pricing is checkmate :)
Missing the PD DNA from bike reviews , feels like this has become no different from other reviews
We got a limited time with the motorcycle. Having said that, we do have a bunch of special videos in the pipeline. Stay tuned.
@@powerdriftofficial Appreciate the effort to reply back to this , however the missing is not pinpointed on this video, its in general. There was life when the bike reviews were presented rather than just sticking on to the company provided details , that was what separated PD from others. The urge to watch ur videos is missing .
P.S : my personal opinion, subjective to change😇😇
I was about to take interceptor becos i have no other option now i took back and booked this premium looking bike with great quality and performance. And now i can myself a triumph owner
Both different segments brother. Congratulations on your purchase 😊
Its still a very different motorcycle. Please take a test spin back to back .
@@powerdriftofficial are you not satisfied with the speed 400 ride quality ?
@@Barru33335 Not 100%. Its there but not there quite yet.
@@powerdriftofficialow much would you rate this bike from 1-10, also can u also rate Harley as you mentioned it in many comments?
What you recommend x440 or speed 40 /scrambler??
We feel the Speed goes up against the Dominar, CB300R while the X440 goes up against the Classic and the H'Ness.
The Trump Card for Indian market 🤔
Triumph card you mean ;)
Wildcard
@@powerdriftofficialpuns
Do you have any update when delivery will start? And accessories prices?
July end for the Speed 400. Check the website for accessories pricing.
Bajaj ne ek hafta Aisa embargo dala jaise koi Rocket launch Kiya ho😕
But bomb product toh hay na. Plus equality amongst publications.
Rocket hi hay! Tehes mehes
Now RE. Fans will come and say RE is RE
We gotta make some popcorn
The presenter is really good.. after a while I am viewing powerdeift reviews and this presenter really knows his stuffs .
Sorry to say but after Sarg left , things were not looking good to be frank
Whats the point of having a TOP speed of 160 Kph and limiting the legal highwayspeeds of 2 wheelers to 60 kph. Dont get the logic behind it. Please do enlighten us @PD
Should be in the same category with the cars
For bikes being 150cc and above
The population, road education, riding and driving etiquettes come into factor here.
My team has conveyed what I really wanted to say :)
My whole point is why the govt is allowing vehicles with higher speeds.Agreed that the majority of the people do not follow traffic rules or give heed to speed limits but again limiting the 2 wheeler speed limit to 60 don't make sense. The only thing make sense is that the govt will swell their income through FINES which is what happening across Kerala. They have put across AI cams. Poor guys who love their bikes but can't really appreciate it's performance side.
Eagerly waiting for Scrambler 400X review ❤
October! 😊😊😊
@@vroombk oh ho, so it's going to be long wait for the review🙂
Its a long wait unfortunately :(
Your smile tells us the story that how happy you are after riding it..❤
Oh yeah. He was truly happy. Smile as big as his face :D
I really was.
The whole character of "Powerdrift" has changed. It used to be exciting back in the 2014s & 2015s but now the creators can't even keep up with the name "Powerdrift".
There are special projects in the pipeline that will keep you entertained. For a first ride, time is our enemy and there's only so much that we can pull off. Apologies Sankalp, we aim to get better
@@powerdriftofficial We all are looking forward to that... Make it rain!!! Cheers to Powerdrift.
@@sankalpnagvenkar2676 Thanks for writing in man. These comments are taken very seriously at PowerDrift. We will work on making things better.
I love how this review came out, thou others said its easy riding 120-130, 80kmph no vibs thing is something that again every other person is saying. Loved how varun himself is replying to all comments, still a ques varun, what is that thing that limits you to cruise at say, 130kmph.
Ps- i booked the bike before launch and definitely buying it. I have ride Dominar first edition,duke 390 and currently riding hness350
Hey hey! We are replying too :D
Always here for you my man. Bearable is actually 140kmph. But comfortable is 120.
Hunter owners are crying in a corner....Maybe that is why the rivers are overflowing 😅
Not a direct comparison because of the pricing.
Hunter is still 90K to 1L cheaper on road than this Motorcycle that is a very big gap in mass two wheeler market, Like PD said its not a direct comparison
This Speed 400 expected to come to Indonesia around january 2024. But, it would be not affordable for indonesian. Still, this is a premium bike for average indonesian.
What is the expected price there?
I rode this and I didn’t feel any connection with the bike.yez it can accelerate but very vibey
ya i felt the same and it dosent have refinement
All Triumph needs to work is on the delarship expansion, better after sales and maintenance costs.. Triumph already has a potential winner on their cards 👍💯
100%
99% viewer of this video can't afford speed 400 and still watching. Me one of them 😂
You got to test ride once! :)
But, I see that you already have a Honda CBR 1000 RR-R Fireblade.
Glad to have you here on this channel. What can we interest you with ? :)
@@powerdriftofficialget me videos something like the first episode of 'Best job in the country?'
I too am waiting for the Scrambler 400X! ⛰️
Unfortunately, it is October :(
Me too!
Impressive presentation Varun Bhai & nice editing by powerdrift team. Varun Bhai , Did you anyhow feel the bike to be a bit small for your height? You are 6ft right ?
Thanks a bunch champ. We will let our moto man answer that question of yours.
Thank you my man. I am a little over 6 feet and I felt extremely comfortable.
You sound confused
The excitement over the price is totally justified. But i have seen a image floating around internet where the on-road price was around 3.5L. Not sure if it is legit! But if thats the case then i don't think it's that much of a value 🤔
No. They addressed that issue. Around 2.8 in Mumbai, 2.9 in Banglore.
They have made corrections.
The delhi dealer told me you will need to pay extra for accessories I think they have slashed many accessories

Broo....even the ronin is smooth at 85kmph 🙄....what'swrong with this
The Ronin does not have long legs like this one. It might be smooth but it struggles beyond 100kmph
Like my team mentioned, the Ronin feels great but it lacks that top end punch. Heck, it will start to struggle later
Background music inspired from Endgame movie. Awesome Review😁😁😁😁😁
Cheers! Thanks a lot :)
Some one wants my cb350rs 😅
I need this bike
Hahahah. You must try this motorcycle.
You will love this. So different, so nice.
This would definitely be fun to ride, waiting for Triumph Lucknow showroom to set up so that i can test ride it 😂
Oh yes!
Please jao aur chalao jaldi
80kmp 😂😂 vibrator as usual by Bajajajajajaja ....
Hero Davidson it is...
Two very different motorcycles. Please test ride both.
Like my team mentioned, its a completely different product.
Hand on heart....tell me if u close i eyes and ride both ..which will u choose
