Update on the Thruxton 400
The Thruxton 400 is the newest model to join Triumph’s motorcycle family.

Triumph estimates that this bike would be perfect for new riders as well as experienced riders looking for a stylish motorcycle.
Engine and Performance
Triumph Thruxton 400 will be equipped with a single-cylinder liquid-cooled motor with a capacity of 398.15cc. This motor is predicted to make the Thruxton 400 an exciting machine with an output of 40 PS (39.5 hp) at 8000 rpm and a torque of 37.5 Nm at 6500 RPM.
