Triumph Thruxton 400: Here are 5 things you need to know about the cafe racer
With its much-anticipated debut in India, the Triumph Thruxton 400 breathes new life into a legendary café racer name. Designed to blend retro character with contemporary engineering, the motorcycle is aimed at riders who value style, agility, and everyday practicality. Here are five standout aspects that define the new Thruxton 400. 1 Styling Visually, the Thruxton 400 sticks close to its heritage roots. From its low clip-on handlebars and streamlined fuel tank to the compact tail with a bullet-style seat cowl, the design draws heavily from the cafe racers of the 1960s. It also features a new headlight fairing, bar-end mirrors, and LED lighting, making the bike instantly recognisable yet cleanly contemporary. The overall stance is assertive and stylish without going over the top. 2 Engine and performance At its core is a 398cc, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces 41 bhp and 37.5 Nm of torque. While based on the same platform as the Speed 400, the Thruxton gets a tweaked camshaft and updated engine tune for stronger top-end performance. The power delivery is smooth and linear, while the engine retains a deep, distinctive note that adds to the riding experience. A six-speed gearbox and ride-by-wire system support precise control and modern refinement. 3 Riding position The Thruxton 400 has been designed with a more aggressive riding posture. Compared to its sibling, the Speed 400, the Thruxton's handlebars are mounted lower and closer, while the footpegs are further back and higher, pushing the rider into a sportier position. The revised suspension setup, featuring upside-down front forks and a stiffer rear mono-shock, offers sharper feedback and improved control, especially in dynamic riding conditions. 4 Features Although styled like a classic motorcycle, the Thruxton 400 is equipped with current-day features to enhance safety and rider comfort. It includes switchable traction control, dual-channel ABS, a torque-assist clutch for lighter lever feel, and a USB-C charging point. The dashboard combines an analogue speedometer with a digital display, maintaining a vintage vibe while offering all necessary information at a glance.

Triumph Speed 400 gets a price hike following Thruxton 400 launch: Here's how much it costs in India
Triumph Motorcycles India has revised the pricing of its entry-level roadster, the Speed 400, with a hike of ₹ 4,177. The 2025 model now carries a price tag of ₹ 2.51 lakh (ex-showroom), while continuing unchanged in both design and mechanical specifications. This update arrives shortly after the introduction of the new Thruxton 400, positioning the Speed 400 approximately ₹ 23,000 below the cafe racer-styled sibling. Interestingly, the Speed 400 now sits around ₹ 52,000 above the more affordable Triumph Speed T4. The recently launched Thruxton 400 revives the well-known name in a new, single-cylinder format and shares its platform with the Speed 400. However, the Thruxton 400 adopts a distinctive cafe racer identity, featuring a retro semi-fairing encasing a circular LED headlamp, clip-on handlebars, and bar-end mirrors, marking a departure from the upright ergonomics of the Speed 400. The Speed 400 continues to be offered in four colour choices: Racing Yellow, Pearl Metallic White, Phantom Black and Racing Red. It runs on 17-inch alloy wheels and features Vredestein radial tyres and adjustable brake and clutch levers, introduced in an earlier update. Powering the motorcycle is a 398 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled TR-Series engine that delivers 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. This is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch. Suspension hardware includes USD forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear, while braking is managed via a 300 mm front disc and a 230 mm rear disc. Standard features include dual-channel ABS, traction control, ride-by-wire throttle, LED lighting, a semi-digital instrument cluster, and a 13-litre fuel tank. The bike weighs in at 179 kg. With the latest price adjustment, Triumph appears to be subtly repositioning its 400cc lineup as the segment grows more competitive.
