The legendary character of the Thruxton comes to life through the all new 1200cc ‘high power' 8 valve, parallel twin engine.
The all-new ‘low inertia - high performance' six-speed engine features a lighter crank and airbox unique to the Thruxton R. With the pin-point accuracy and instant throttle response of Triumph's next generation ride-by-wire fuel-injection, fed by authentic twin throttle bodies, the Thruxton spec engine delivers a massive peak torque figure of 120Nm at a low 4950 rpm - an amazing 62% more than the previous generation Thruxton.
Both feature a unique fuel tank incorporating a ‘Monza’ cap (a first on any modern production bike), bullet seat and lightweight aluminum bar end mirrors, wheel rims and swinging arm. The Thruxton R features an additional painted seat cowl, polished top yoke, tank strap and clear anodized aluminum swinging arm. There are three Thruxton colour choices, Jet Black, Pure White or Competition Green, and two for the Thruxton R in Diablo Red or Silver Frost.
