Retro Design
The Thruxton 400 gets a yellow-and-silver dual-tone finish with black accents, exuding neo-retro charm. Drawing from Triumph's larger Thruxton models, it features a sleek half-fairing with a raked windscreen, clip-on handlebars, and bar-end mirrors. A detachable rear seat cowl adds a sporty single-seater look, setting it apart from the Speed 400, its 400cc platform sibling. The revised ergonomics, with a forward-leaning riding position, cater to the cafe racer ethos, prioritizing style and agile handling for spirited urban rides.
Refined Performance
Powering the Thruxton 400 is a familiar 398cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, producing 39.5 bhp and 37.5 Nm of torque, mated to a six-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch. While sharing the Speed 400's powertrain, Triumph is likely to tweak the final drive ratio to enhance the bike's sporty character, making it ideal for quick bursts of speed-a hallmark of cafe racers. This setup ensures a smooth yet punchy ride, tailored for short, thrilling jaunts.
Feature-Packed

The suspension comprises USD forks up front and a rear monoshock, paired with disc brakes and alloy wheels for confident handling and stopping power. These features ensure the bike remains practical and safe without compromising its retro vibe.
Market Positioning and Pricing
With an estimated price tag of Rs. 2.65-2.75 lakh (ex-showroom), the Thruxton 400 will be a premium offering in Triumph's 400cc lineup, which includes the Speed 400, Scrambler 400X, Speed T4, and Scrambler 400 XC. With no direct competitors in India's cafe racer segment, it appeals to riders seeking a combination of style and performance.
