The Triumph Thruxton 400 has officially arrived in India, combining the charm of a retro café racer with the practicality and performance of a modern motorcycle. Positioned under the ₹3 lakh segment, this new offering aims to capture the hearts of riders who want style, agility, and everyday usability in one package.
Classic Café Racer Styling with Premium Build
Triumph has given the Thruxton 400 a timeless design inspired by its larger Thruxton siblings. The sculpted fuel tank, rear cowl, round headlamp, and clip-on handlebars exude vintage racer vibes, while high-quality paint finishes and attention to detail elevate its premium feel. It is available in attractive colour options that perfectly complement its classic lines.
Performance from the TR-Series 398cc Engine
At the core of the Thruxton 400 is Triumph’s TR-Series 398cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that delivers a punchy 40 PS of power and 37.5 Nm of torque. This setup ensures strong acceleration both in the city and on open roads. A 6-speed gearbox with slip-and-assist clutch offers smoother shifts and reduces fatigue on longer rides.
Rider-Friendly Features and Handling
The motorcycle comes equipped with a modern digital-analogue instrument cluster, dual-channel ABS, and LED lighting for improved safety and convenience. The tubular steel frame combined with 43mm USD front forks and monoshock rear suspension offers a balanced ride. Its 17-inch wheels with grippy tyres enhance stability and cornering confidence.
Price and Market Positioning in India
Priced at ₹2.74 lakh (ex-showroom), the Triumph Thruxton 400 sits competitively in the premium modern-classic segment. It rivals models like the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 (lower variants), Jawa 42 Bobber, and Honda CB350RS, while offering the unique flair of a café racer at a more accessible price point.
Conclusion: The Triumph Thruxton 400 delivers a rare combination of retro charm, modern engineering, and everyday usability. Its competitive pricing, premium build quality, and engaging performance make it one of the most appealing options for riders seeking style and substance under ₹3 lakh.
