Triumph Motorcycles India has finally launched the Triumph Thruxton 400 in the Indian market. Priced at Rs 2.74 lakh (ex-showroom), the café racer is built on the same platform as the Speed 400 but stands apart with its unique design, tweaked rider posture, and a minor boost in performance. The Thruxton 400 is offered in four colour options – Lava Red Gloss, Pearl Metallic White, Phantom Black, and Metallic Racing Yellow. Interested customers can book the bike online or by visiting their nearest dealership, deliveries will begin soon.
The new Triumph Thruxton 400 is powered by the same 398cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine from the Speed and Scrambler 400. But here, it’s been tuned to produce more power. It now delivers 42hp, up by 2hp with peak power coming in at 9,000rpm, which is 1,000rpm higher than the original. Torque stays the same at 37.5Nm, and it still comes paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch.
Though the Thruxton 400 shares its chassis, suspension, and braking hardware with the Speed 400, it gets slight tweaks in geometry and weight. Suspension travel is increased by 10mm to 140mm, while the wheelbase is now 1,376mm, 10mm shorter. Ground clearance sees a drop of 7mm, now at 158mm, and seat height is marginally higher at 795mm for improved accessibility. The bike tips the scale at 183kg, making it 4kg heavier than the Speed 400.
In terms of design, the Triumph Thruxton 400 embraces classic café racer elements with a semi-fairing, teardrop-style fuel tank, and reshaped side panels. At the rear, it gets a slimmer fender and a new taillight setup, while the wide, contoured seat with a standard seat cowl promotes a slightly forward-leaning riding position. Beyond the visual updates, the Thruxton 400 also receives functional and mechanical changes compared to the Speed 400. These include a revised rear sub-frame, sportier clip-on handlebars, and repositioned footpegs, all tailored to enhance the bike’s aggressive riding stance.
