Powered by a tried-and-tested 398cc liquid-cooled engine, the Triumph Thruxton 400 cafe racer produces 42 PS at 9,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm of torque – perfect for riders who love performance with style.
Triumph Motorcycles has introduced the all-new Triumph Thruxton 400 in India, reviving one of its most iconic and legendary names. With a price tag of ₹2,74,137 (ex-showroom), this new café racer combines vintage design elements with modern-day engineering — making it one of the most exciting 400cc bikes in the Indian market.
Engine & Performance – More Power Than Speed 400
The bike is powered by the most powerful version of Triumph’s TR-Series engine – a 398cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled motor producing 42 PS at 9,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm at 7,500 rpm. That’s about 5% more power than the Speed 400.Thanks to a reworked camshaft and performance-tuned internals, the engine offers better top-end performance and revs more freely. It’s mated to a 6-speed gearbox and comes with a slipper and assist clutch for smoother gearshifts in traffic and spirited rides.
Frame, Suspension & Ride Quality
The Triumph Thruxton 400 is built on a tubular steel spine/perimeter frame and features a cast aluminium twin-sided swingarm. Suspension duties are handled by 43 mm upside-down Big Piston forks at the front and a gas-charged monoshock with external reservoir at the rear.Compared to the Speed 400, the riding triangle is sportier – the clip-ons are 40 mm narrower and sit 246mm lower, while the foot pegs are moved 86 mm back. This results in a true café racer stance that still manages to be comfortable.
Brakes, Tyres & Dimensions:
Braking is handled by a 300mm front disc with a 4-piston radial caliper, and a 230mm rear disc with a floating caliper – both equipped with dual-channel ABS. The bike runs on MRF REVZ tyres – 110/70 R17 at the front and 150/60 R17 at the rear – offering solid grip and control.
