"Triumph Speed 400" first lets talk about why this bike is important and how this has changed market ?

Triumph is one of the costly and premium brand in India and of course internationally but this brand did collaboration with Bajaj whose marketing network is very strong and using that Triumph is trying to acquire market. There are many barriers for Triumph like price, popularity, service and above all this rising price of fuel and public moving to green energy specially towards electric motorbikes. So, to overcome all this Triumph launched Speed 400 which is one of the important bike for Triumph as this will decide future of Triumph, in 2.5 to 3.5 lakhs INR price segment of bikes and will make Brand Triumph popular among Indians.

As soon as Triumph and Bajaj revealed this bike whole market got dumped with news of Triumph and Bajaj collaboration. Due to Bajaj credibility public got attracted towards this bike. Anyone having an international brand in the same price as some other Indian or more like desi brand comes, will make them feel good and even proud.
