Triumph is gearing up to launch another motorcycle on its 400cc platform, the Thruxton 400
The Triumph 400cc range currently includes the Speed T4, Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X. Sales of these motorcycles range from 3,000 to 4,000 units per month. By 2025, Triumph aims to increase this target with the launch of new motorcycles such as the Scrambler T and Thruxton 400. With the help of car enthusiast S Patil, the latter has now been unabashedly spotted testing near Pune. Test mules appear to be production-ready, suggesting a launch early next year.

Iconic features are evident, such as the unique styling and the Triumph logo on the engine housing. Many features are borrowed from the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X. Some elements were also taken from the larger capacity Thruxton 1200 cafe racer. The Mini Thruxton features a new half fairing that helps create a more dynamic street presence. With the fairing in place, the turn signal position is lowered compared to the Speed 400.


Other key highlights include round LED headlights, bar-end mirrors, steeply sloping windscreen, sculpted fuel tank, one-piece seat with fairing and upswept exhaust. The bike features clip-on handlebars for a centralized riding position. However, the almost centrally mounted footpegs mean the riding position isn’t too extreme. The bike will borrow the Speed 400’s analog speedometer with an integrated multi-function LCD screen.
It’s good to see that Triumph is taking an aggressive approach with its new single-cylinder 400cc platform. New products like Thruxton 400 will help target a larger customer base. The existing Speed T, Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X have become popular choices in the middleweight market. They rank sixth in terms of sales, behind Royal Enfield’s best-sellers such as the Classic 350, Hunter, Bullet and Meteor 350. Because the Thruxton 400 has a unique identity, it will help attract a whole new group of users.

The Thruxton 400 will be supported by a tubular steel frame. Just like the Speed 400, it will also come with a bolt-on rear subframe. The suspension system features a 43 mm USD fork at the front and a gas monoshock RSU at the rear. Thruxton 400 test mules were spotted with black USD forks, while the Speed 400 came with gold forks. It remains to be seen whether the Thruxton 400’s suspension travel is tweaked.


The bike has 17-inch wheels on both ends, the same wheels as the Speed 400. The Speed 400 in the international market is equipped with Metzeler Sportec M9RRs tires, while the Thruxton 400 is equipped with Pirelli Rosso tires. In India, the bike will come with locally sourced MRF or Apollo tires. Braking duties are performed by 300 mm brake discs at the front and 230 mm brake discs at the rear. Dual-channel ABS will be available as standard.
Triumph’s decision to launch a single-cylinder bike at an affordable price seems to have had the desired effect. Enthusiasts considering the Thruxton 400 can look forward to great deals from Triumph. For reference, the Speed T starts at Rs 1.99 lakh after recent discounts, while the Scrambler 400X retails at Rs 2.65 lakh (excluding taxes). The Thruxton 400 may be priced slightly higher considering its unique shape.
