- 42 hp (30.9 kW) at 9,000 rpm from the advanced TR Series single-cylinder engine
- Extensive standard equipment with Ride by Wire, traction control, and ABS
- Market launch in Germany and Austria from May 2026
With the introduction of the Tracker 400 and Thruxton 400, Triumph is expanding its range in the lower displacement segment with two distinctive models. Both models use the familiar 398 cm³ single-cylinder engine from the TR Series, but have different focuses in terms of appearance, seating position, and handling. Triumph is thus positioning the two motorcycles as stylistically distinct alternatives within the existing 400 family.
Common engine platform for the TR Series
At the heart of both models is a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with a displacement of 398 cm³, four valves, and a double overhead camshaft. The engine delivers 42 hp (30.9 kW) at 9,000 rpm and provides a maximum torque of 37.5 Nm (27.6 lb ft) at 7,500 rpm. According to the manufacturer, peak power has been increased by around five percent compared to previous versions. Around 80 percent of maximum torque is said to be available from just 3,000 rpm, which should enable smooth power delivery across a wide rev range.
The mixture is prepared by an electronic fuel injection system from Bosch in conjunction with electronic throttle control. Gear changes are made via a six-speed transmission, with power transmission via an X-ring chain. Both models come with an anti-hopping clutch with engagement assistance as standard. The exhaust system consists of a stainless steel system with double-walled manifold and stainless steel rear silencer. Both motorcycles comply with the Euro 5+ emissions standard.
Electronic assistance systems and instrumentation
Standard equipment on the Tracker 400 and Thruxton 400 includes a ride-by-wire system, switchable traction control, and ABS. Triumph combines the electronic equipment with a classic display. An analog round speedometer with integrated LCD multifunction display is used, which shows the engine speed, gear indicator, and other basic information. In addition, a USB C port is available for charging external devices. According to the manufacturer, all cables and wires are concealed as much as possible so as not to detract from the classic overall impression.
Triumph Tracker 400: Flat track style with road-oriented technology
The Tracker 400 is visually and ergonomically based on flat track racing. Characteristic features include wide handlebars, an upright seating position, and footrests mounted further back and higher up. This arrangement is designed to enable a dominant and active riding position. The seat height is 805 mm.
The frame consists of a hybrid spine perimeter construction made of steel tubing with a bolt-on rear frame. The swing arm is made of cast aluminum. The front suspension features a 43 mm upside-down big piston fork with 140 mm of travel. At the rear, there is a gas-pressure central shock absorber with an external reservoir, 130 mm of travel, and adjustable spring preload.
Braking is provided by a 300 mm disc with a radially mounted four-piston caliper at the front and a 230 mm disc with a single-piston caliper at the rear. ABS is standard. The Tracker 400 rolls on 17-inch cast wheels with Pirelli MT60 RS tires in sizes 110/70 R17 at the front and 150/60 R17 at the rear, which are visually reminiscent of flat track tires but are designed for road use.
The ready-to-ride weight is 173 kg, or around 381 lbs. The tank holds 13 liters. Visually striking features include the angular tank with knee cutouts, the seat cover, side number plates, and the raised twin mufflers. The Tracker 400 is available in Aluminum Silver Gloss, Racing Yellow, and Phantom Black, each with model-specific graphic elements.
Triumph Thruxton 400: Sporty café racer
The Thruxton 400 picks up on the traditional café racer line and focuses on significantly sportier ergonomics. Clip-on handlebars, a narrower handlebar width, and footrests positioned further back and higher up ensure a forward-leaning seating position. The seat height is 795 mm.
The Thruxton 400 also uses the steel tube frame with aluminum swing arm, but differs in its chassis tuning. A 43 mm upside-down big piston fork is also used at the front, here with 135 mm of travel. The rear central spring strut offers 130 mm of travel and adjustable spring preload.
The brake system is the same as on the Tracker 400, with a 300 mm disc and four-piston radial caliper at the front and a 230 mm disc at the rear. Triumph uses sporty Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires in sizes 110/70 R17 at the front and 150/60 R17 at the rear.
The Thruxton 400 has a kerb weight of 176 kg, which is equivalent to approximately 388 lbs. The fuel tank capacity is also 13 liters. Visually striking features include the small front fairing with round LED headlight, racing-style seat cover, bar-end mirrors, and sporty exhaust. The Thruxton 400 is available in Carnival Red, Pearl Metallic White with Storm Grey, and Metallic Racing Yellow, among other colors.
Dimensions and service
The Tracker 400 measures 2,033 mm in length, 857 mm in width, and 1,050 mm in height without mirrors. The wheelbase is 1,371 mm. The Thruxton 400 is slightly longer at 2,042 mm, but narrower at 775 mm, with a height of 1,110 mm without mirrors. The wheelbase here is 1,376 mm.
Triumph specifies a service interval of 16,000 km or 12 months for both models, whichever comes first. Combined fuel consumption is stated as 3.6 liters per 100 km, with CO₂ emissions of 84 g per kilometer.
Prices and availability
For the German market, the Tracker 400 will be offered at a price starting at €6,495 and is expected to be available at dealers from May 2026; The price includes a four-year manufacturer’s warranty, plus dealer-specific delivery costs. In Austria, the starting price is €7,145, also with a four-year manufacturer’s warranty, but this already includes NOVA and delivery costs. The market launch in Austria is also scheduled for May 2026.
In addition to Germany and Austria, Triumph has also announced specific prices and launch dates for other markets. In the UK, the Tracker 400 is expected to be available at dealerships from April 2026, with a starting price of £5,745. For Italy, a starting price of €6,345 has been announced, with the market launch scheduled for May 2026. In Hungary, the Tracker 400 will be available from April 2026, with a price of HUF 2,704,000 including VAT and registration fees. The market launch for the US and Canada has been announced for April 2026, with prices starting at $5,995 in the US and CAD 6,995 in Canada.
This means that availability will vary between April and May 2026 depending on the region, with some significant differences in price levels, which of course depends on the market and tax structure.
The Thruxton 400 will not be launched in Germany and Austria.
Positioning within the Triumph model range
With the Tracker 400 and Thruxton 400, Triumph is expanding the TR Series platform with two clearly differentiated models. Technically, both remain closely related to the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X, but place greater emphasis on independent ergonomics and design. This allows Triumph to cover a broader spectrum within the 400 series, from sporty to stylish, without changing the technical basis.
