Rumour: Bajaj-Triumph bikes to get all-new 400cc engine

The Bajaj-Triumph motorcycle is expected to come in roadster and scrambler versions.

Bajaj Auto and Triumph have partnered to develop new mid-capacity bikes for emerging markets, the first of which will debut on June 27. A new report sheds more light on the engine that will power the new bikes.

It is said that the upcoming Bajaj-Triumph bikes are likely to use a brand-new 400cc, single-cylinder engine. It has been developed from the ground up and will not share anything with existing or future KTM powertrains.

Another feature that should give the Bajaj-Triumph products an edge over rival Royal Enfield is that the larger capacity engine would be liquid-cooled and is expected to be more powerful than Royal Enfield's 350cc offerings.

Bajaj-Triumph is likely to offer two versions of its upcoming mid-capacity bike. These include a stylish roadster and rugged scrambler, both of which, are expected to be unveiled next month.
