Triumph Thruxton 400 debuts in India:Retro Racer for the Modern Rider
The revered Thruxton name returns to Triumph's portfolio with the launch of the all-new Thruxton 400, a motorcycle that brings classic café racer styling to a new generation of riders. Making its global debut in India, this latest addition to Triumph's Modern Classic range, combines heritage design with contemporary engineering and performance. The Thruxton 400 draws (its) inspiration from the original Thruxton racers of the 1960s, yet this new iteration is purpose-built for modern-day streets. Its design captures the essence of a true café racer with low-slung clip-on handlebars, a sculpted fuel tank with knee recesses, bar-end mirrors, and a colour-coded rear seat cowl that completes its streamlined silhouette. From the front fairing to the slim, upswept tail section, the Thruxton 400 has the poised stance of a classic racer, with just the right touch of modernity. At the heart of the machine is the proven TR-Series 398cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. Tuned for more performance, it produces 42 PS, making it the most powerful in its segment. The refined top-end performance adds a more thrilling character to the ride, while still maintaining smooth and usable power delivery across the rev range. The Thruxton 400 also gets its own dedicated chassis, distinct from the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X. It features a revised suspension setup aimed at delivering a sportier and more committed ride. With 43mm USD front forks and a twin shock setup at the rear, Triumph promises sharper handling and greater rider engagement, especially when tackling twisty roads or quick city runs. Modern technology is subtly integrated into the Thruxton's otherwise retro appeal. It features a ride-by-wire throttle for precise response, switchable traction control for added safety, and a torque-assist clutch for reduced effort in traffic. While the styling stays true to its roots, these features bring it firmly in line with today's expectations for everyday usability. Attention to quality and finish remains a core part of the Thruxton 400's appeal. From its deep gloss paint schemes to the brushed metal touches and precise detailing, the bike carries forward Triumph's reputation for premium craftsmanship. The use of high-quality components and thoughtful engineering also means that the Thruxton 400 benefits from class-leading service intervals, reducing the cost of ownership and long-term maintenance. The Thruxton 400 is expected to resonate strongly with younger enthusiasts looking for a bike that blends old-school charm with modern-day performance. With the Indian motorcycle market already responding positively to the 400cc Modern Classic range, the Thruxton's unique proposition as a focused café racer adds another layer of excitement. The new Triumph Thruxton 400 is priced at ₹2,74,137 (ex-showroom). Motorscribes, in association with The Hindu, brings you the latest in cars and bikes. Follow them on Instagram on @motorscribe

Triumph Thruxton 400: Check out 5 key highlights of the new cafe racer in town
The Triumph Thruxton 400 marks the return of one of the most iconic café racer names in motorcycling. With its global debut in India, the new 398cc machine combines classic styling with modern engineering, aiming to appeal to a new generation of riders. Here are five key highlights of the Thruxton 400: Triumph Thruxton 400: Design The Thruxton 400 retains the signature styling of Triumph's original cafe racers, complete with clip-on handlebars, a sculpted fuel tank, and a bullet-style seat cowl. It also features bar-end mirrors, a minimalist rear with a shortened mudguard, and a classic round LED headlamp housed in a newly designed fairing. The styling strikes a balance between vintage appeal and modern detailing, with colour-matched accents and four dual-tone paint schemes adding to its visual charm. Triumph Thruxton 400: Engine Under the bodywork is a reworked version of Triumph's TR-Series 398cc single-cylinder engine, now tuned to produce 42 PS at 9,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. Compared to the Speed 400, this engine has a revised camshaft and tuning to deliver a stronger top-end and a more exhilarating throttle response, while retaining smooth torque delivery and a refined ride experience. It also gets liquid cooling, ride-by-wire throttle, and a 6-speed gearbox. Ergonomics and Chassis Setup The Thruxton 400 offers a more focused riding posture than the Speed 400. The clip-on handlebars are positioned 40mm narrower and 246mm lower, while the rear-set footpegs are moved back and up, resulting in a more aggressive rider triangle. A dedicated chassis and revised suspension, 43mm upside-down forks at the front and a gas-charged monoshock at the rear, make the handling sharper and more responsive for sporty riding. Rider aids Despite its retro looks, the Thruxton 400 comes equipped with contemporary rider aids. These include switchable traction control, dual-channel ABS, a torque-assist clutch, and a USB-C charging port. The instrument cluster features an analogue speedometer paired with an LCD screen, blending old-school appeal with modern functionality. This tech is integrated subtly, preserving the classic aesthetic without compromising usability. Service and warranty Built to Triumph's global standards, the Thruxton 400 offers premium quality with a relatively accessible price point. Long service intervals of 16,000 km and a standard two-year unlimited mileage warranty reduce ownership costs. With its launch in India ahead of global markets, Triumph signals its intent to target the growing community of mid-capacity motorcycle buyers looking for performance, style, and legacy.
