Just a guess: Tiger 400? It could beryllium an off-road focussed escapade motorcycle. The abstraction is dominated by the Himalayan and fixed the decent popularity of the Triumph 400 twins, they mightiness beryllium eyeing a portion of the pie.

The 400cc motor is tractable capable to warrant an off-road focused machine. More question suspension, tubeless spoked wheels and precocious perceivable prime could marque it a success.

It looks similar Triumph is truly cashing successful connected the occurrence and popularity of the 400 family. With the Street and the Scrambler seeing a batch of takers, it surely looks similar a astute move.

While I'm not excessively keen connected the Thruxton 400, if they are readying to motorboat a babe tiger with the aforesaid 400cc engine, that has the anticipation to disrupt the middleweight escapade tourer segment. I'm definite a batch of Himalayan 450 prospects would tilt towards the Tiger. The sanction itself has capable instrumentality pursuing that makes it hard to resist.

Fingers crossed.

Ride safe,

The thought of a babe Tiger is truly getting maine excited! They request to:

1. Match the suspension prowess of the Himalayan.

2. Give Tubeless Spoked Wheel due to the fact that the Himalayan lacks that and its a woody breaker for many. No 1 wants instant punctures during off-roads.

3. Instrument clump with due maps integration dissimilar Himalayan wherever you request to support your telephone surface connected to spot the maps connected the cluster!

4. Tune the motor for a small spot much low-end grunt. The Himalayan lacks that.

5. Give it cruise control. First successful segment, a large differentiator and besides rather utile connected agelong rides.

6. Make it look similar a Tiger 900 (not similar the Tiger 660), atleast the beforehand end.

7. Call it the "Tiger 400".

If Triump is capable to bash these things, they tin truly situation the Himalayan 450.

Frankly they request a KTM motor to bash that sanction justice. The existent Speed/Scrambler portion is excessively "friendly"
