Automakers in the country have started making efforts to end the year on a high note with increased sales numbers by offering year-end discounts. Now, Triumph Motorcycles India has jumped on the bandwagon, offering discounts of up to Rs 18,000 on its entry-level motorcycle, the Speed T4. The bike is currently sold at a starting price of Rs 2.17 lakh (ex-showroom), with the discount in the picture, the price of the bike has come down to Rs 1.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Triumph Speed T4 is the most affordable bike of the brand sold in India. Sharing its underpinnings with the Speed 400, the bike is equipped with cost-effective components to make it relatively more affordable. To further differentiate it, the bike is equipped with bias-ply tires instead of radial ones. There are also differences in the tyre size with the T4 having a 140/70/R17 tyre size which is different from the 150/70/R17 used on the Speed 400.
