Triumph Rolls Out Tracker 400 and Thruxton 400

Hinckley expands its 400 range with a $9,990 Tracker and $10,390 Thruxton, both due in Australia early 2026

Triumph is adding two more models to its 400cc Modern Classics range for 2026, confirming Australian arrival dates and rideaway pricing for the new Tracker 400 and Thruxton 400. The pair sit alongside the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X (plus the newer Scrambler XC), with bespoke ergonomics, chassis set-up and tyre choice to create two distinct riding experiences.

At the centre of both bikes is the latest version of Triumph’s 398cc TR-series single-cylinder engine. Triumph says the update includes mechanical changes such as a revised camshaft profile and a new engine tune, lifting peak output to 42PS at 9000rpm, a claimed five per cent increase. The company is also leaning on a higher rev limit and stronger top-end performance as the real-world benefit, suggesting these bikes are meant to be ridden harder through the last third of the tacho than earlier versions. Torque output stays at 37.5Nm, 80 per cent of which is available from 3000rpm.

The shared platform also brings modern rider aids that are quickly becoming expected at this price point. Both bikes retain ride-by-wire throttle control, a torque-assist clutch, switchable traction control and ABS. Triumph is sticking with an analogue-style speedometer paired with a digital tachometer readout, aiming for a classic cockpit without losing key information.

Tracker 400: flat track attitude for the road

The Tracker 400 is Triumph’s first flat track-inspired model and it’s aimed at riders who like a more open, assertive riding position than the Speed 400. Triumph has altered the rider triangle significantly: the handlebar is 23mm wider and 134mm lower than the Speed 400’s, while the footpegs are moved 86mm further back and 27mm higher.

Triumph says the Tracker runs a dedicated chassis set-up for sharper handling and a more involved ride. Up front are black anodised 43mm upside-down big piston forks with 140mm of travel. At the rear is a gas monoshock with 130mm of travel and preload adjustment, including allowance for pillion loading. Those travel figures put it at the plusher end of small-capacity roadsters, which makes sense given the Tracker’s dirt-friendly attitude and Pirelli MT60 RS dual-purpose tyres. The ABS-equipped braking package includes a four-piston radial calliper chomping on a single 300mm rotor at the front and a single piston calliper, 230mm rotor at the rear.

Triumph is also leaning on finishing detail, with the engine’s machined cooling fins and powder-coated covers highlighted, and a conscious effort to keep wiring and hoses visually hidden. Styling is unmistakably tracker-themed, with a fly screen, seat cowl, a number-board element and newly styled wheels, along with the Modern Classic signatures of a round LED headlight and twin upswept silencers. The seat height is quoted at 805mm, keeping it accessible for a wide spread of riders. Australian colours include Racing Yellow, Phantom Black and Aluminium Silver Gloss.

Thruxton 400: a junior café racer

The Thruxton 400 brings back one of Triumph’s most recognisable names in a smaller, more accessible format. Where the Tracker is about wide bars and upright intent, the Thruxton features clip-on handlebars and rear-set footpegs for a sporty riding position, with a dedicated chassis and refined suspension to match.

Triumph’s numbers show just how far the riding position shifts compared with the Speed 400. The clip-ons are 40mm narrower and 246mm lower than the Speed 400’s handlebar, while the rear-set pegs are positioned 86mm further back and 27mm higher, placing the rider more over the front end to deliver the racy posture Thruxton buyers expect.

Suspension remains premium-spec for the category, with black anodised 43mm upside-down big piston forks offering 135mm of travel, and a preload-adjustable gas monoshock at the rear with 130mm of travel. 17-inch cast aluminium alloy rims are shod with sporty Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres.

The Thruxton’s styling leans into the classic silhouette with modern detailing. A new fairing houses the round LED headlight, while bar-end mirrors, a sculpted fuel tank with the Triumph triangle badge, and a colour-coded seat cowl create the café profile. A shortened rear mudguard and compact LED tail-light tidy the tail, finished off with an upswept sports silencer. Triumph also calls out a Monza-style fuel cap and the general level of paint and finishing as part of the Thruxton’s premium positioning.

Instrumentation mirrors the rest of the 400 family, using an analogue speedometer with an LCD tachometer, and Triumph notes a USB-C charging port for devices.

Warranty and ownership

Triumph is backing both the Tracker 400 and Thruxton 400 with a two-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, and says this coverage extends to Genuine Triumph accessories as well. The Tracker 400 is priced from $9990 rideaway and is due in Australian dealers from March 2026, whilst the Thruxton 400 is priced from $10,390 rideaway and is due in dealerships from February 2026.
