With its perfectly proportioned, evocative silhouette the Thruxton is a truly beautiful machine. It captures the very essence of the café racer look – the shorty-style front fender, rakish clip-on handlebars, distinctive seat hump and spartan elegance - and matches it to exhilarating, fluid performance. The Thruxton fires the imagination of many of today’s younger riders who seek a distinctive and involving bike, where authentic retro sixties style mixes seamlessly with a modern edge and attitude.

The Thruxton’s 865 cc, twin cylinder power plant is the most powerful of Triumph’s twin-cylinder line up. It shares the Bonnie’s 360 degree firing interval but adds ‘hot’ camshaft profiles, a compression ratio of 10.2:1 and megaphone-style exhausts. Peak power output of 69 bhp is delivered at 7,250 rpm and peak torque of 53 ft.lbs. arrives at 5,750 rpm.

Wrapping the motor is a precisely crafted chassis that inspires confidence and delivers a real sporting character. The sturdy, spring preload adjustable, 41 mm telescopic forks and twin rear shocks give superb suspension action and compliance. Sharper steering geometry, a wheelbase of 1,477 mm and an 18-inch front wheel aids steering input. A fully floating 320 mm front disc and twin-piston brake caliper provide powerful, controllable braking performance.

Three color options are available - Jet Black, Racing Yellow and Caspian Blue – and all feature a checkered flag tank graphic and silver fenders. A comprehensive range of accessories, including less restrictive mufflers, fly screen, soft luggage and various chrome additions further enhance the Thruxton’s scope for owner involvement and personalization.
