Video: Triumph Thruxton Spotted Testing Yet Again- Specs And Details Disclosed

Triumph Thruxton has been going through a significant test run in the recent times. The bike has been spotted testing a few times in India. In a recent update the Thruxton has been spotted again while testing in India. And as per the sighting the vehicle seems almost production ready. The bike has a complete retro design that ensures that the vehicle looks like authentic café racer.

The Bike would share its underpinnings with that of the speed 400. Before this sighting by THE Fat Biker YouTube channel; the bike was spotted in southern France as well. The Bike was seen testing under minimal camouflage this time. The testing in the international market indicates a possible launch in Europe as well.

As per the video the bike would have the complete retro look with frame mounted fairings, a round headlight as well as clip on handlebars. This would be the fourth bike that comes out of the Bajaj and Triumph communion in India.

In Terms of performance its possible that the new bike might possibly be powered by a 398 cc liquid cooled engine that would produce about 39.5 PS of power and a peak torque of around 37.5 Nm. Triumph might possibly give the new bike a different state of tune. This can change the performance and acceleration of the new bike. The Bike would have a aggressive seating position. It became apparent as the rider riding the bike had to relax his arms as he was placed in rather committed position.

Older Sightings Of The Thruxton 400

Before the Indian Testing Phase, the bike had already been tested in the southern parts of Europe where Enthusiasts were able to grab a few snapshots of the bike. The snapshots were shared by Motorcycle News.com. Based on the looks the bike would have a authentic round headlamp cladded in a café racer style fairing that extends till the tank.

Thruxton 400 New Looks

While the bike was in the usual camouflage, but the logo etched at the transmission hub gave the vehicle away. The bike would be based on the speed 400 and would be powered by the same engine. Triumph has been planning to grab a grasp in the international markets as well with their new Thruxton 400. The new bike would have 39.5 bhp of power if powered by the same engine as that of the Triumph Speed.

The bike had upside down forks, which would probably have the same 140 mm travel that was also witnessed with the Triumph speed 400. The bike had the same 17 inch rims similar to the speed as well.

The partial analogue partial digital instrument cluster looks like it was taken from the speed as well. The bike had certain design cues from the departing 1200 cafe racer that the brand is about to stop producing soon as well. Since the bike was seen in Europe it had a blank space for the number plate. The bike would have a single front disc and caliper module complete with ABS. The findings confirm that Triumph might launch the vehicle soon.

Triumph Thruxton History

Originally The Thruxton moniker was a name given to a hand built bike in the 1960’s , after that since Triumph came into production it became a model name for one of their bikes. The Name originated after the Thruxton Circuit , a racetrack in the new Hampshire area of England. It was at this circuit that Triumph bikes won top three places in the Thruxton 500 mile endurance race. Such a win became prestigious to the brand’s engineering and hence the newer rendition of the bike that was based on the track model that was raced was named the Triumph Thruxton. Along the years Triumph has launched various models and renditions of the bike such as a Thruxton Bonneville, Thruxton 900, and Thruxton 1200 as well.

While Triumph has been recently introduced in India, it has a long history of being the go to bike for Cafe racers and other enthusiast groups in London.
