Triumph Speed T4: Key Highlights

Engine and Performance

At the heart of the Speed T4 is a newly developed 398.15cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, which produces:

• 40 PS of power at 8,000 RPM
• 37.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM

This engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper and assist clutch, ensuring smooth gear shifts and reduced fatigue during aggressive riding.

It draws visual inspiration from the larger Triumph Speed Twin 900 and 1200, giving it a mature, big-bike appearance despite its compact engine.
