After the launch of the “Modern Classics” SPEED 400, the 400X Scrable, the brand seems to have everything ready to do the same with the expected Thruxton 400. It is the conclusion that we get according to the latest images of a test mule captured in full action between the stressful Indian traffic.
They show how the British firm continues to bet on a clear Café Racer style, based on the platform already seen in its range sisters.
Thruxton 400 or Speed 400 RR?
One of the main novelties that has been generated after the appearance of this new test mule, is if Triumph will end up calling it Thruxton 400 or Speed 400 RR. That is at least what Rush Lane’s companions wonder, which seems that at the moment they are not very clear about the subject.
While it is true that since almost the beginning there had been talk of a future Thruxton 400, the possibility that it ends up being commercially called under the acronym Speed 400 RR, it is also a possibility.
Beyond the cabals on the name in question, and letting ourselves be carried away by the details that the test model exposes, we can observe how Triumph opts for a semi -fired striker and handlebar under the Café Racer style of the brand’s motorcycles.
The mirrors anchored to the tips of the handlebar, the round round lighthouse, an analogical account or the line that forms its rear, are also unequivocal signs of the adoption of this design style.
But Triumph not only proposes a “pretty face”, since the future, Thruxton 400? Enjoy everything you need to make driving a really gratifying experience, as we have already checked in the 400 models offered by the brand in its current range. To do this, it has a tubular steel chassis, front inverted fork and central shock absorber anchored to the rear. The 17 ”alloy wheels could have a 160 mm section tire on the back.
To them are coupled by disc brakes, 300 mm in front and 230 mm behind, with the support of a double channel ABS system. A really balanced and effective compendium designed to efficiently manage the power extracted from its monocylinder engine with 398 cc.
This has fuel injection and liquid cooling and should offer a power of some 40 hp next to a maximum torque of 37.5 nm Approximately, as the two brand models equipped with this mechanic declare.
