Triumph Thruxton Parallel-Twin

About
The Triumph Thruxton R is a standout in the café racer segment, combining the classic styling of the Bonneville range with modern performance enhancements. Powered by a 1200cc parallel twin engine, it produces 96 horsepower and 112 Nm of torque, making it potent yet manageable for everyday riding. The bike features a confident-inspiring chassis with a Showa Big Piston fork and Öhlins shocks, along with Brembo M50 monoblock front calipers for exceptional braking. The Metzeler or Pirelli tires provide excellent grip, and the bikes sporty suspension, though stiff, is fully adjustable. The Thruxton Rs design is a highlight, with its sculpted fuel tank, clip-on handlebars, and upswept exhaust pipes, making it a visually stunning motorcycle. It is ideal for riders who appreciate both the nostalgic appeal of classic bikes and the performance of modern machinery. However, the stiff ride quality and higher maintenance costs are factors to consider, especially for long-distance touring in Indian conditions.

USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Triumph Thruxton R is a masterpiece that blends classic styling with modern performance, making it a highly desirable café racer. Its 1200cc parallel twin engine, tuned for the high power version, delivers 96 horsepower and 112 Nm of torque, providing ample power across the rev range. The bikes handling is exceptional, thanks to its Showa Big Piston fork and Öhlins shocks, along with super sticky Pirelli or Metzeler tires. The Brembo M50 monoblock front calipers offer brilliant braking performance, though they require some getting used to. While the ride quality can be stiff and hard, especially on Indian roads, the Thruxton Rs overall package of performance, style, and character makes it a compelling choice for those who value both aesthetics and riding pleasure. However, the availability of spares and accessories can be a significant drawback in the Indian market.
Price
In India, the Triumph Thruxton R is priced around Rs 15-16 lakh ex-showroom, depending on the region and any customizations. On-road prices can vary significantly due to state-specific taxes and other costs, typically ranging from Rs 18-20 lakh. This places the Thruxton R in a premium segment, where it competes with other high-end motorcycles. While it may seem expensive compared to some other options, the Thruxton Rs unique blend of classic design, robust performance, and premium components justify its price tag for enthusiasts who are willing to invest in a high-quality, distinctive motorcycle.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 07:36 PM The mileage of the Triumph Thruxton R in India is relatively modest, given its powerful engine. With a fuel consumption of around 38.7 mpg (miles per gallon) as per international standards, in Indian conditions, you can expect an average fuel efficiency of about 15-20 kml. This is reasonable for a bike of its class and performance capabilities. However, running costs will be higher due to the premium fuel it requires and the maintenance costs associated with its high-performance components.
