Triumph 350cc Range Gets 2nd Price Hike In July Since Launch

Triumph's 350 range has received a second price increase within a short span. The motorcycles were launched with the downsized engine in April and received their first price hike in June. The hike is modest in percentage terms, but it does change the value equation that initially made the range appealing.

Triumph 350 Range Gets Dearer

Triumph introduced 350 cc versions of its 400 cc bikes in April, aiming to help customers benefit from the lower 18 per cent GST slab. At that time, prices were largely left unchanged. The company then raised prices in June for the Speed T4, Speed 400, Scrambler 400 XC and Thruxton 400, and has now extended another increase across the entire 350 cc lineup.
