Triumph Thruxton 400 – Retro Rocket
The Thruxton badge carries racing heritage, and the new 400cc version makes that accessible to a wider audience. Launched in India first, it promises style, performance, and affordability.
Design & Ergonomics
Classic café racer lines—sculpted tank, clip-ons, cowl seat, and bar-end mirrors—blend with modern detailing. The riding stance is sporty but manageable, leaning into its retro ethos without sacrificing comfort.
Features & Performance
Despite its old-school looks, the Thruxton 400 is modern under the skin. It features ride-by-wire, traction control, USB-C charging, and dual-channel ABS. Its 398cc engine makes 41hp and 37.5Nm, paired with a slick 6-speed gearbox. Performance is lively, with cruising ability at triple-digit speeds.
Ride & Handling
Triumph has tuned the chassis for sharper handling than the Speed 400. With preload-adjustable monoshock, USD forks, and sticky tyres, it’s agile and confidence-inspiring. Ride quality is surprisingly composed for a sporty setup.
Verdict
At ₹2.74 lakh, the Thruxton 400 brings café racer charm to the masses. Stylish, engaging, and relatively practical, it may just be the coolest motorcycle under ₹3 lakh on sale today.
