Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 vs Triumph Speed 400: Why a 40% Tax Didn’t Stop One From Nearly Matching the Other’s Price
Oct 3, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- The 798cc triple borrowed from the Tiger Sport 800 gives it real mid-range muscle, well ahead of the Trident 660 and in the same bracket as the KTM 890 Duke and Kawasaki Z900
- Showa 41mm USD forks and a preload-and-rebound-adjustable monoshock bring proper suspension hardware rarely seen at this price
- Cornering ABS, cornering traction control, cruise control and a Triumph Shift Assist quickshifter all come standard, not as optional extras
- Three distinct colourways, Jet Black, Ash Grey and Carnival Red, rather than a single launch colour
Worth knowing
- Triumph India has not formally announced the Trident 800: it has simply turned up at a handful of dealers, so nationwide availability, warranty terms and service support are still unclear
- Ex-showroom prices run from Rs 10.95 lakh to Rs 11.10 lakh depending on colour, a real step up from the Rs 8.99 lakh Trident 660 it sits above in Triumph's range
- Triumph has not published ground clearance for this model, and rear brake disc size disagrees across sources
- Whether Triumph will keep selling the Trident 660 alongside the 800 long term is unclear, since the company has not said anything about the smaller bike's future
