TL;DR
Triumph Motorcycles India will launch a new line of India-specific 350cc bikes in April 2026 to optimize pricing under revised GST norms.
Triumph Motorcycles India is poised to introduce a new range of 350cc motorcycles in April 2026, a strategic move confirmed by Bajaj Auto's Managing Director, Rajiv Bajaj. This initiative aims to make Triumph's offerings more competitive and accessible in the Indian market by leveraging favorable GST slabs for motorcycles below 350cc.
The upcoming 350cc engine is expected to be derived from Triumph's existing 400cc unit, with modifications to reduce displacement while maintaining the brand's performance character. This adjustment is crucial as motorcycles above 350cc attract a higher GST rate of 40% compared to the previous 28%. The new models are anticipated to include variants like the Speed 350 and Thruxton 350, with a slight reduction in power output compared to their 399cc counterparts.
