“At Bajaj Auto Ltd., we are committed to our customers and follow the highest standards of transparency, including pricing. We would urge all our customers and media to ignore the rumours doing rounds across various public and social media platforms related to the on-road pricing of the new Triumph Speed 400.

The joint statement released by Triumph Motorcycles and Bajaj Auto
The new Triumph Speed 400 was launched with much pomp, at a very aggressive and unexpected Rs 2.23 lakh (ex-showroom) introductory price for the first 10,000 bookings, to be raised to Rs 2.33 lakh (ex-showroom) thereafter. There’s been a lot of social media chatter after an on-road price break up of the motorcycle started doing the rounds on social media. The unverified price break-up read that after a range of additional charges, the motorcycle will be available at an on-road price at just a little short of Rs 3.40 lakh – an increase of well over Rs 1 lakh to its ex-showroom price.
Car&bike did some research and it revealed that the pricing details doing the rounds may not be accurate after all. With Bajaj Auto now coming out with this statement, it will be in the interest of customers, and those who have already booked the new Speed 400 to get some clarity on the final on-road prices.
