2026 Triumph Tracker 400: A New Attitude in Triumph’s 400cc Family
The Triumph Tracker 400 represents the brand’s long-awaited entry into the flat track–inspired motorcycle segment, a concept that has been in Triumph’s product pipeline for over a decade. Originally planned as the “Street Tracker,” the final decision to simplify the name to Tracker 400 helps clearly separate it from the Street Triple range while leaving room for future models. Positioned in the rapidly expanding 400cc category, the Tracker 400 builds on the success of the Speed 400 and is aimed at riders seeking a more aggressive, style-led machine. Visually, it is one of the most striking bikes in Triumph’s small-capacity lineup, offered in Racing Yellow, Aluminium Silver, and Phantom Black, each featuring bold TRACKER tank graphics, contrasting number-board style side panels, and a distinctive flat track silhouette.
At the heart of the Tracker 400 is Triumph’s 398cc single-cylinder TR engine, shared with the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 models but revised to deliver a sportier, more rev-happy character. Power output rises slightly to 41.4hp, produced at 9,000rpm, while peak torque remains at 27.7 lb-ft but arrives later at 7,500rpm. These changes are achieved through a new intake camshaft with greater lift and longer duration, along with revised ride-by-wire throttle mapping. Despite the higher-revving setup, Triumph claims that 80 percent of peak torque is available from just 3,000rpm, ensuring usable low-end performance. The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox and torque-assist clutch, supported by switchable traction control and standard ABS.
The Tracker 400 is built around the same steel hybrid spine/perimeter frame used across Triumph’s 400cc range, but with unique geometry to differentiate its handling. Suspension duties are handled by non-adjustable 43mm Big Piston upside-down forks at the front and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock. Suspension travel stands at 140mm at the front and 130mm at the rear, matching the Speed 400. However, the Tracker features a slightly shorter 1,371mm wheelbase, a steeper 24.4-degree rake, and increased trail, all of which contribute to a more focused and responsive feel on the road.
Ergonomically, the Tracker 400 differs significantly from its siblings. It gets an 805mm seat height, which is 15mm taller than the Speed 400, combined with wider handlebars that are set much lower. The footpegs are positioned 86mm further back and 27mm higher, creating a forward-leaning riding posture that places more weight over the front wheel. The bike rides on 17-inch alloy wheels at both ends with a unique 14-spoke design, wrapped in a semi-block tread pattern tryes suited to the flat track aesthetic. Braking hardware is carried over from the Speed 400, consisting of a 300mm front disc with a four-piston ByBre caliper and a 230mm rear disc. The Tracker weighs 173kg, making it lighter than the Scrambler 400 models but slightly heavier than the Speed 400.
The Tracker 400 also features a newly designed fuel tank with sharper, more angular lines and pronounced knee cut-outs, giving it a 1970s-inspired look distinct from the more classic Speed 400 design. Fuel capacity remains unchanged at 13 litres, though fuel efficiency is marginally lower due to the engine’s higher-revving nature. Technology is intentionally kept simple, with the same instrument cluster as the Speed 400, combining an analogue speedometer with a monochrome LCD for essential readouts such as gear position, fuel level, and revs. A USB-C charging port and a wide range of Triumph accessories are available for added practicality and customization.
Overall, the Tracker 400 focuses on style, riding engagement, and mechanical character rather than advanced electronics, making it a distinctive and purpose-driven addition to Triumph’s 400cc lineup.
