Triumph Motorcycles is poised to broaden its 400 cc lineup this year, having commenced testing of the anticipated Thruxton 400 in India. This new motorcycle, characterized by its cafe racer styling, is based on the Speed 400 and is referred to online as the ‘Triumph Thruxton 400.’ Following sightings of prototypes internationally in late 2023, the motorcycle has now been observed in India, suggesting an imminent launch.

The forthcoming Triumph Thruxton 400 features a classic bullet-style semi-fairing mounted on the Speed 400 chassis. The design of the fairing closely resembles that of the Speed 1200 RR. Additionally, the prototype is equipped with clip-on handlebars, a bubble visor, and sleek lines that harmoniously blend with the overall design. Importantly, Triumph has revamped the tail section, incorporating a rear seat cowl to establish a distinct identity for this model. The inclusion of bar-end mirrors is also evident among the modifications.

There has been no announcement regarding modifications to the powertrain; however, it is anticipated that the Triumph Thruxton 400 will retain its 398 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, which is calibrated to deliver 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm of maximum torque at 6,500 rpm, coupled with a 6-speed transmission. The motorcycle is expected to maintain the same USD front forks and a mono-shock rear suspension, with the braking system and wheels likely remaining unchanged. Nevertheless, Triumph may consider alterations to the rake and trail, potentially altering the riding experience. A recent spy photograph has captured the blacked-out exhaust from the Speed T4 on the Thruxton 400 test model, raising questions about whether this is a temporary component or if it will be substituted with the aluminium-finished exhaust featured on the Speed 400.

The Triumph Thruxton 400 is set to be a global offering and will also bring back the Thruxton name, especially since the production of the Thruxton 1200 concluded at the end of 2024 worldwide. This new model will carry on the legacy in a fresh segment, providing the brand with a competitive edge against other manufacturers in the market. Further information regarding the Thruxton 400 is expected to be disclosed in the upcoming months, with a launch anticipated towards the year's end.
