Bajaj Triumph Thruxton 400: Bajaj Auto is planning to introduce two new Triumph 400 cc motorcycles in the Indian market. Triumph’s entry-level lineup currently consists of the Speed 400 and the Scrambler 400X. These bikes have impressed customers in terms of design, price and performance and have received a good response.
Thruxton 400 could be the name of the first bike
The British manufacturer confirmed some time ago that the 400 cc range will be expanded rapidly with a new motorcycle every year and reports suggest that two all-new offerings are coming soon. It should be noted that Triumph is developing a semi-faired cafe racer version of the Speed 400 and it has already been spotted testing.
It could be called the Thruxton 400, as it will take a lot of inspiration from the iconic Triumph Thruxton 1200 with retro bubble fairing. It will come equipped with a clip-on handlebar setup for a committed riding posture and will be powered by the familiar 399 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC engine found in the existing 400 cc twins.
Engine and performance details
The powertrain develops 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm, mated to a six-speed gearbox while slipper and assist clutch as well as a ride-by-wire throttle system will be standard.
We expect the second new Triumph 400 cc motorcycle to be a dual-purpose adventure tourer considering the popularity of this segment
