Our sportiest modern classic.

When you are named after the legendary Thruxton racers of the 60’s that inspired so many of the Café racers of the time, there’s a lot to live up to.

Hence the authentic styling that looks fast even when standing still. Low rise bars, a sporting riding position, spoked wheels, megaphone style silencers and a race inspired stripe from tank to tail would be enough for some, but not the Triumph Thruxton.

The riding experience has had just as much attention lavished on it with an 18” front wheel with an aluminium rim for genuine looks and improved handling. A floating front disc and two piston caliper, complete with braided hoses tame the fuel injected 865cc parallel twin engine which is tuned for more performance.

Features & Benefits

Engine
The Thruxton’s 865cc, air-cooled, twin cylinder power plant, the most powerful of Triumph’s twin cylinder line-up, has a peak power output of 70PS (69bhp) delivered at 7400rpm and peak torque of 70Nm (52ft.lbf) arrives at 5800rpm. The engine shares the same 360° firing interval as the Bonneville, as well as featuring ‘hot’ camshaft profiles and a compression ratio of 9.9:1.

Fuelling

Handlebars
The Thruxton's handlebars are one-piece tubular chromed steel bars and are set slightly higher to enhance rider ergonomics and give a more upright but still sporty riding position. The stylish bar-end mirrors, engineered specifically for the Thruxton, come as standard.

Chassis
Wrapping the motor is a precisely crafted chassis that inspires confidence; its harder edge delivering real sporting character. The sturdy, preload adjustable 41mm telescopic forks and twin rear shocks give superb suspension action and compliance while sharper steering geometry, a wheelbase of 1490mm and 18 inch aluminium-rimmed front wheel all aid steering input.

Brakes
A fully floating 320mm front disc and twin-piston brake caliper provide powerful, but sensitive, braking performance.
