Triumph has hiked the prices of its Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X in India.

According to the price listed on the official website, both the motorcycles have become expensive a by Rs 1,500. With the addition of the extra Rs 1,500 to their introductory price, the bikes now cost Rs 2,34,497 and Rs 2,64,496, respectively(ex-showroom).
The Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 was launched in India last year. At the time of launch, the Speed 400 had an introductory price of Rs 2.23 lakh, (ex-showroom). Meanwhile, the Triumph Scrambler 400X, which was introduced later the same year, had an launch price of Rs 2.62 lakh, (ex-showroom).
The bikes were priced cheaper than their competitor given their features and what they offer. Later, post the first 10,000 bookings, the company ended the introductory pricing for the Speed 400, and hiked the price of the bikes to Rs 2.33 lakh (ex-showroom).
