Bajaj Auto is known to come up with an upgrade package and then this upgrade package trickles down to all of the, if not, most of their lineup. We saw this when the LCD instrument cluster was first introduced and more recently, we saw a new upgrade package with TFT cluster with Google Maps, ETB, Ride Modes, bi-directional quickshifter and traction control, among others.
Now, a similar upgrade package seems to have been devised for Triumph Motorcycles by Bajaj and it made its debut with Bonneville T40. Recently we saw this upgrade package make its way to Thruxton 400 and now, we can see a similar upgrade package with Tracker 400 too and the test mule was spied recently, as seen in Vishal Patil’s video.
Triumph Tracker 400 TFT Screen Variant
Bajaj and Triumph duo has not yet confirmed whether these upgrades spied with Thruxton 400 and now Tracker 400 will be launched as a new variant, or as standard equipment. Also, Bajaj and Triumph duo have not confirmed whether this upgrade package will make it to other Triumph 400 models like Speed 400, Scrambler 400X, Speed T4 and Scrambler 400XC.
Speaking of the upgrade package, it first debuted with the Bonneville T40 and is seen for the first time with Triumph’s TR Series of 400cc class motorcycles. This includes a 4-inch circular TFT instrument cluster that supports smartphone connectivity with music and call controls and then Google Maps mirroring.
With electronic throttle body, Triumph has introduced ride by wire, cruise control, traction control and then Ride Modes – Road, Rain, Eco, Rider A and Rider B. There’s lean-sensitive cornering ABS, lean-sensitive cornering traction control, self-canceling turn indicators, emergency deceleration warning and more.
What to expect?
The recent spy video by Vishal Patil does not confirm whether the Triumph Tracker 400 test mule gets all of these features from Bonneville T40 or only some of them. What we can see, is the presence of the new 4-inch circular TFT cluster along with the presence of the new switchgear, both shared with Bonneville T40.
The same 349cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled 4V engine as other Triumph TR Series motorcycles in India that is capable of generating 40 bhp of peak power and 32 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. Launch is likely to happen soon.
