Exciting news is brewing in the world of motorcycles as Triumph gears up for a potential launch later this year. As confirmed by Rajiv Bajaj of Bajaj Auto, we can expect the introduction of more models to Triumph’s 400cc lineup, with the Thruxton 400 likely being the next addition. This classic café racer, already spotted several times, promises to bring a nostalgic yet exhilarating riding experience to enthusiasts.
Thruxton 400
True to its café racer roots, the Triumph Thruxton 400 boasts a timeless design reminiscent of the golden era of motorcycling. Featuring frame-mounted half-fairings and clip-on handlebars, this motorcycle offers a sporty riding position that’s sure to appeal to thrill-seekers. Drawing inspiration from its predecessors like the Speed 400, the Thruxton 400 exudes sophistication and style.
Power and Performance
Underneath its sleek exterior, the Triumph Thruxton 400 is powered by a potent 399cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC engine. With 40 PS at 8000 rpm and 37.5 Nm at 6500 rpm, this machine packs a punch on the road. Paired with a six-speed transmission, ride-by-wire throttle, dual-channel ABS, and a slip and assist clutch, the Thruxton 400 offers a refined and responsive riding experience.
Built for Excellence
Built on the same frame as the Speed 400, the Thruxton 400 is equipped with top-notch components for superior performance. With a 43 mm inverted fork at the front and a gas-charged preload adjustable monoshock at the rear, this motorcycle delivers agile handling and precise control. The braking setup, featuring a 300 mm front and 230 mm rear disc, ensures reliable stopping power in any situation.
Price Point
While official pricing details are yet to be confirmed, industry experts estimate the Triumph Thruxton 400 to be priced similarly to the popular Scrambler 400 X, around Rs 2.62 lakh (ex-showroom). Upon its launch, the Thruxton 400 will carve its own niche in the market, with no direct competitors in its segment.
However, alternatives such as the Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 and the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 provide intriguing options for riders seeking a similar riding experience.
As anticipation builds for its potential unveiling at EICMA 2024 in Milan, Italy, motorcycle enthusiasts eagerly await the arrival of the Triumph Thruxton 400, a true icon in the making.
