Triumph Brings Thruxton 400 : Triumph Motorcycles, the iconic British motorcycle manufacturer, now releases its much-awaited Thruxton 400 in India, adding a drag of retro charm to its fast-growing portfolio. Following the success of the Speed 400, introduced as a classic cafe racer that would appeal to riders who appreciate performance wrapped in a vintage facade, the Thruxton 400 is derived from the iconic meaning-ridden models of Thruxton. The most interesting aspects of this new bike are that it brings along the charm of the old styles, marrying it with modern engineering, which will go a long way in enchanting enthusiasts in the year 2025.
Design- Retro Style with the Sportiness
The only thing that being a different roadster could be modern with Speed 400 is the Thruxton 400, heavily inspired by the heritage of its cafe racer ancestry. Round headlamps, clip-on style handlebars, a sculpted fuel tank, and a single-seat look with cowl thrown at the back make it. Riding posture is mildly aggressive when compared to the upright stance of the Speed 400, accentuating spirited rides. Certain finer things distinguish it visually, such as bar-end mirrors and vintage paint schemes.
Engine and Performance
Under the retro-pastiched body, the Thruxton 400 shares its engine with the Speed 400- a 398cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing about 40 PS of power and 37.5 Nm of peak torque. The specific riding ergonomics and slightly different gearing, however, make the Thruxton 400 feel a lot more exciting in corner carving. Both bikes now benefit from a six-speed gearbox, with added features of a slipper clutch and ride-by-wire throttle for clean, smooth performance.
Features and Technologies
No shame for stopping: LED lights, powerful disc brakes, two-channel ABS, a digital-analog instrument console, and best of all those upside-down front forks plus a mono-shock rear suspension. Stop by the amazing disc brakes – front and rear.
If you require a daily rider and the Speed 400 suits all these needs with the upright stance and full-bodied versatility, then that’s the bike to have. Alternatively, if you prefer vintage aesthetics and a sportier riding stance for weekend jaunts or short blasts of fun-either with the throttle wide-open or closed, then the Thruxton 400 is for you.
In very simple words, with a mixture of old classical cafe racer looks with proven Speed 400 performance, Triumph brings Thruxton 400 down the yet another stylishly practical offer for an Indian urban rider in the mid-capacity motorcycle segment.
