Triumph is among the country's top five best-selling motorcycles between 300cc and 500cc. The company recently launched the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X. These bikes have reached markets like Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Now, Triumph aims to attract more enthusiasts by working on a new model.
Now, according to Rajiv Bajaj, the CEO of Bajaj Auto, there's talk of an upcoming Triumph Thruxton 400 cafe racer version based on the 400cc platform. The Thruxton 400 is being tested, and it looks a lot like the Speed 400. People think it will be similar to the previous Thruxton model, focusing more on looks than comfort.
The launch of this 400cc Triumph bike is expected to happen swiftly, possibly in the first or second quarter of CY2024. Moreover, the upcoming Triumph Thruxton 400 price in India will be around Rs. 2.60 Lakh.
This bike features a semi-fairing, resembling the Speed Triple RR sold globally. It shares the same round LED headlight and clip-on handlebars. The fairing adds visual mass, addressing a drawback of the Speed 400. Moreover, the Triumph Thruxton 400 features a round LED headlight integrated into the cafe racer fairing.
The upcoming Triumph Thruxton 400 bike features a tubular handlebar with bar-end mirrors, a single-piece seat with a flat grab rail, and a similar exhaust canister. These design elements enhance its cafe racer appeal and characterise it from its predecessor.
This triumph bike is expected to share many features and hardware specs with the Speed 400. Triumph Thruxton 400 will likely be equipped with a 399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that produces 40 PS and 37.5 Nm of torque. Moreover, its engine will be coupled with a 6-speed gearbox.
The upcoming Triumph Thruxton 400 is anticipated to maintain a sporty feel. It has 43mm USD front forks and a gas monoshock RSU at the rear, ensuring a comfortable ride. Moreover, it features a single disc on both ends with dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety. These components will be mounted on 17-inch wheels fitted with road-biased tyres. The test mule spotted overseas was equipped with Pirelli Rosso 3 rubber tyres, likely to be used in export markets. India may feature locally sourced Apollo or MRF tyres.
It is expected to feature modern amenities such as a semi-digital instrument console, ride-by-wire, traction control, a USB charging port, and a side stand sensor. Also, the Triumph Thruxton 400 bike gets a pillion-grab rail for enhanced convenience.
