KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Triumph Thruxton 400 spied testing ahead of launch
- Cafe Racer body style for the 400cc range of Triumph
- To be powered by a 399cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine
Triumph's recent shift toward a more accessible mass-premium segment is clearly paying off, as seen with the success of the Scrambler 400X and Speed 400. Building on that momentum, they are prepping to launch the Thruxton 400, a cafe racer that's already turning heads. Spotted undisguised, it's clear Triumph is aiming to make a significant impact in this category.

Triumph Thruxton 400: Dashing And Different

The Thruxton 400 is unmistakably a Triumph, sporting the brand's classic styling and that familiar design cues resembling the brand's philosophy. It's clearly related to the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, but also pulls design elements from the bigger Thruxton 1200, lending it a sharper, more cafe racer-esque feel. Low clip-on handlebars, semi-fairing design, with bar end mirrors further accentuates the overall look. A key visual change and the notable disctinction is the new half-fairing, which gives it a more aggressive street presence and shifts the turn signals down, making it look sleeker than its Speed 400 sibling. This is something that will make the Thruxton stand out in the crowd.

Triumph with its 400cc models have tapped into a whole new market that has a mass acceptance owing to its price to performance value with a legacy brand name in motorcycling. With the spy shots, it is evident that the bike is going for a semi-digital instrument cluster with a circular headlight for that retro-modern charm. It looks like the Thruxton 400 rolls on 17-inch wheels, front and back, just like the Speed 400 and the braking is handled by discs at both ends, with dual-channel ABS coming standard for added rider confidence.

Engine Details

The upcoming Triumph Thruxton 400 is set to pack a punch with the usual 399cc liquid-cooled single, churning out a respectable 39.5 bhp and 37.5 Nm of torque, all managed through a 6-speed gearbox. Riders can expect a smooth, refined ride with plenty of mid-range grunt, making it equally at home navigating city streets or cruising on open highways. The engine's proven track record and existing fan base are definitely a major plus for this new model.
Verdict
While there are a lot of options in the price category and the displacement category, I was always hopeful for a cafe racer to make its entry in this space. Coming from Triumph, it will rejoice a lot of fanboys who are looking forward to owning something different than the crowd. With Triumph breaking the price barriers with the Speed and Scrambler 400X, it is expected to do pretty well witht the Thruxton as well.
