Engineered by Triton for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2011 Triton Carbon 400 features a 400 cc (24.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 20.1 HP (14.7 kW). With a specific output of 50.3 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Carbon 400 measures 232 kg (511 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.54 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 670 mm (26.4 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 14.8-liter (3.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
