Triumph New Bike Launch Later This Year: Likely To Be The Thruxton 400 Cafe Racer
Triumph will also be adding more models to their 400cc lineup
Triumph will be launching a new motorcycle later this year, according to Bajaj Auto’s Rajiv Bajaj. We believe the upcoming bike is likely to be the Triumph Thruxton 400, a cafe racer style motorcycle that was spotted testing a few months ago. Rajiv Bajaj also said that they will be introducing a new Triumph motorcycle each year for the next 3 years. We might get to see a Triumph Speedmaster 400 or even a Triumph Tiger 400, but it's too soon to say right now.
The Triumph Thruxton 400 will be a cafe racer style motorcycle and the 3rd offering in the 400cc segment. It’ll get typical cafe racer style design, with new frame-mounted half-fairings and clip-on handlebars, making for a sportier riding position. The headlight is a round unit similar to what we have seen on the Triumph Speed 400.
The bike is expected to come with the same underpinnings as the Speed 400. It will be built on the same frame and suspended on a 43mm inverted fork and a gas-charged preload adjustable monoshock. The braking setup is likely to be unchanged as well, with a 300mm frontand 230mm rear disc.
The Thruxton 400 will feature the same 399cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine as the Speed 400 and the Triumph Scrambler 400 X. It makes 40PS at 8000 rpm and 37.5Nm at 6500 rpm. Other features include, ride-by-wire throttle and a slip and assist clutch.
We expect the Thruxton to come at a similar price as the Scrambler 400 X, so roughly around the Rs 2.62 lakh mark (ex-showroom). Before the launch the cafe racer will likely be unveiled at EICMA 2024 in Milan, Italy.
The Thruxton doesn’t have any direct competitors in its segment and the only other alternatives available in the market will be the smaller capacity Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 and the higher capacity Royal Enfield Continental GT 650.
Triumph Thruxton 400 User Reviews
- A Café Racer That Feels Like a Gentleman’s MachineI chose the Thruxton 400 for its classic cafe racer looks and strong highway performance. It feels smooth and stable on long rides though a bit firm on city roads. A great mix of power style and refinement. The ride feels premium and confident. Engine is quick to respond, stable at high speeds, and corners beautifully. Mileage is fair for a 400cc, and the grip inspires confidence. Slightly stiff in traffic, but overall very satisfying. Yes, absolutely for riders who want performance with elegance. Ideal for solo riders or weekend cruisers who value looks and feel over pure comfort. Not for heavy city commuters, but perfect for spirited rides.Read More1 2

- Thruxton - best bike in segmentwell the bike is top notch, i ofc chose this bike because of its looks and reviews on its performance and my god this bike packs a punch, great pull, awesome handling, you might find suspension on a little stiffer side but its alright, honestly this bike just lacks some digital features or more things to play with on the speedometer, this is bike is actually better than the other triumph bikes in its segment because of its betting tuning ratio which of course comes with a price of lower milage but not much noticeable. Overall this bike is one of the best bike to choose from, better any royal enfield in its segment.Read More
