New higher profile tyres add muscle to the MY25 Speed 400. Tyres sizes are now 110/80-17 and 150/70-17.

New Tyres

Ride quality and tyre performance of the outgoing Speed 400 was more than adequate, and according to Bajaj (Triumph’s Indian partner), the upsizing is a result of adding more visual mass, as well as offering more ride comfort, along with the thicker seat cushioning.
