If you love old-school café racer vibes but want modern day engineering, the 2025 Triumph Thruxton 400 is going to be your bike. Spy shots from India confirm it’s almost ready to debut in August 2025 and it’s got classic style and substance.
Triumph already have the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, this will be the fifth 400cc bike in their India lineup.
Retro Design, Reimagined for Today
The Thruxton 400 doesn’t shy away from its heritage. It has a round LED headlamp with an ‘X’ motif, clip-on handlebars, bar-end mirrors and a café fairing that’s similar to the Speed Triple 1200 RR.
You also get a sculpted tank, single seat and (on higher trims) a rear cowl to complete the retro racer look. It’s not just show though – the bike’s ergonomics hint at a sporty, forward leaning riding position that’ll appeal to enthusiasts.
Engine and Ride Dynamics
The Thruxton is powered by a 399cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that’s expected to produce around 40 PS at 8,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Same engine as the Speed 400 but Triumph might have tweaked the final drive for a sportier feel here.
It comes with a 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch for smooth shifts and less stress on downshifts – perfect for weekend warriors.
Features and Underpinnings
Triumph hasn’t held back on hardware. You get 43mm USD front forks, preload-adjustable rear monoshock, 300mm front disc with a radial caliper, and dual-channel ABS as standard. Expect 17-inch alloys with grippy tyres (110/80 R17 front, 150/70 R17 rear).
Tech-wise it gets ride-by-wire, switchable traction control and a semi-digital dash. Lighting is full LED as per the premium cafe look.
Launch and Price Expectations
The 2025 Triumph Thruxton 400 is set to launch in August 2025 and will be the fifth 400cc bike in Triumph’s lineup after the Speed 400, Scrambler 400X, Speed T4 and Scrambler 400 XC. Priced around ₹2.70 lakh to ₹2.90 lakh (ex-showroom) with higher trims nearing ₹3.00 lakh depending on features and variants.
