Triumph Speed T4 gets a striking Baja Orange makeover

Triumph Motorcycles has hit the sweet spot in the Indian market with its 400cc TR-series, and its success story continues with the launch of the Speed T4 in a bold new colour: Baja Orange. The new variant marks a visual refresh that stands out in the segment, drawing on Triumph's rich design legacy. Inspired by the glow of desert horizons and the ambience of golden-hour rides, Baja Orange is a shade previously seen on Triumph's larger motorcycles like the Street Triple 765 R and Scrambler 1200 XE. Speed T4 the first bike in this space to wear the hue.
Since its launch in October 2024, the Speed T4 has shown strong performance, doubling its sales volume in just a few months. The TR-series has grown 30% year-on-year in FY25, underlining the rising demand for accessible, premium motorcycles in India. Triumph's success with this platform has placed it firmly at the second spot in the classic motorcycle segment — a notable achievement given the fierce competition and evolving customer expectations in this space.
The Speed T4 is positioned as a modern classic, designed for riders who are either stepping into the world of performance biking or looking for something stylish yet easy to live with. At the heart of the bike is a 398cc engine that delivers 31 PS at 7,000 rpm and 36 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm, with a strong low-end pull between 3,500 and 5,500 rpm. This makes it ideal for both city commutes and highway runs, with enough flexibility to keep newer riders confident and experienced riders engaged. The ride quality is enhanced by 43 mm telescopic forks, a slipper clutch for smoother downshifts, and dual-channel ABS for added safety — all features that contribute to its easy-going nature without compromising on fun.
Feedback from riders and reviewers has been largely positive, particularly when it comes to the bike's handling. The chassis feels light and responsive, the riding position is neutral and comfortable, and the suspension strikes a good balance between firmness and comfort. Whether you are navigating traffic or heading out for a weekend ride, the Speed T4 feels composed and predictable, which is exactly what many riders are looking for at this price point.
Visually, the Baja Orange variant gets a few subtle but impactful touches — such as, a brushed steel exhaust, a 3D Speed T4 badge, and matching tyre stripes. Combined with the updated frame colour, it gives the bike a more premium and cohesive look. The new colour joins existing options like Caspian Blue, Lava Red, and Phantom Black, offering buyers a wider range of aesthetic choices.
The Speed T4 continues to be one of the most accessible ways into the Triumph brand. It delivers a slice of British heritage with modern-day practicality, making it a compelling option for anyone looking to upgrade to a bigger, better motorcycle without stretching their budget too far. It is this blend of style, performance, and affordability that has made Triumph's 400cc models resonate with Indian riders.
The Baja Orange, priced at ₹2.05 lakh, may be new, but the Speed T4's appeal remains rooted in what has worked for Triumph so far: a motorcycle that is easy to ride, enjoyable to own, and proudly wears the legacy of a brand that understands what today's motorcyclist want.

Heightened tensions in West Asia pull Sensex & Nifty down, but defence stocks soar

Shares of Apollo Micro Systems and IdeaForge Technology surged 10% each. GRSE stocks rose 6.25%, while Swan Defence and Heavy Industries gained nearly 5% read more A man passes by the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) building on the day of Union Budget 2025-26 presentation, in Mumbai. File image/PTI Indian equity markets slid Monday as tensions in the Middle East escalated after the United States launched airstrikes on Iran's nuclear infrastructure, unnerving investors and triggering broad-based selling across major indices. The benchmark BSE Sensex fell 511.38 points, or 0.62 per cent, to close at 81,896.79. It had dropped as much as 931.41 points, or 1.13 per cent, earlier in the session. The NSE Nifty declined 140.50 points, or 0.56 per cent, to settle at 24,971.90. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Markets reacted to news that the US had directly entered the Israel-Iran conflict by striking Iran's Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites over the weekend. While the conflict raised concerns about broader regional instability and energy supply disruptions, initial fears around oil shocks remained contained. Brent crude gained 0.49 per cent to trade at $77.39 a barrel. The rising geopolitical uncertainty weighed on frontline indices, but Indian defence sector stocks rallied strongly on expectations of higher spending and order flows. Shares of Apollo Micro Systems and IdeaForge Technology surged 10 per cent. Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers rose 6.25 per cent, while Swan Defence and Heavy Industries gained up to 5 per cent. The sector's outperformance followed months of recovery. After a five-month period of weakness attributed to valuation concerns, defence stocks began to rebound in March and gained further traction in April and May. The momentum intensified after Operation Sindoor, during which India showcased its indigenous defence capabilities, including intercepting drones and missiles launched by Pakistan, according to a report by The Mint. Sentiment was further lifted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent reiteration of the government's commitment to self-reliance in defence production under the Make in India initiative. Despite the day's volatility, select capital goods and metals stocks provided support to the market. Investors monitored global cues closely, with attention focused on whether Iran would retaliate further or escalate the conflict into the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil transit route. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Market participants are expected to remain cautious amid heightened geopolitical risks, even as underlying domestic trends in select sectors remain resilient.

India's export sector resilient even as geopolitical tensions test global trade stability: FIEO President

New Delhi [India], June 23 (ANI) India's export sector remains 'resilient and adaptive' at a time geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, pose certain challenges to global trade dynamics, President of Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) SC Ralhan said. 'Our trade with both Iran and Israel, while important, constitutes a small share of our overall export-import basket. The government and industry are jointly monitoring developments to ensure minimal disruption,' the exporters' body chief said. FIEO said it anticipates some short-term impact on demand and logistics, particularly in the Gulf region, which serves as a crucial hub for Indian exports. 'Increased shipping costs, longer transit times, and rising marine insurance premiums may add pressure, especially in price-sensitive sectors,' he added. However, he noted that Indian exporters have repeatedly demonstrated agility in rerouting shipments, diversifying markets, and managing financial exposures. 'The robust MSME and large-scale exporters, coupled with strong government support mechanisms, will help cushion any near-term shocks,' he noted. Crude oil price volatility is being closely watched, as it can influence inflation and logistics costs. However, India's diversified energy procurement strategy and the Reserve Bank's proactive stance help maintain liquidity and macroeconomic stability. Over the years, India has diversified its energy supplies, and a large volume of them do not come through the Strait of Hormuz now. Oil Marketing Companies have supplies for several weeks and continue to receive energy supplies from several routes. Petroleum Minister Hardeep Puri vowed his ministry will take all necessary steps to ensure the stability of fuel supplies to citizens. 'Overall, while there are temporary headwinds, we see this as an opportunity for Indian exporters to explore alternate routes, strengthen regional partnerships, and consolidate India's role as a reliable trade partner in uncertain times,' the FIEO President said. The FIEO said it is committed to supporting exporters with timely guidance, market intelligence, and policy advocacy to ensure continued momentum in the global trade journey. (ANI)
