2016 Auto Expo: Triumph Thruxton R showcased

Triumph India showcased the 2016 Thtuxton R café racer at the 2016 Auto Expo. The 2016 Thruxton R come spacked with performance, braking and handling abilities to live up to their legendary name. This time round it is powered by a new 1200cc motor but tuned to punch out a massive peak torque figure of 112Nm at 4,950rpm, which is a whopping 62 per cent higher than the previous generation Thruxton. The 2016 Thruxton range design is an evolution of iconic Bonneville cafe racer styling with intricate detailing inspired from classic Triumph bikes of the past. They feature top quality finish and intricate level of detailing to enhance their iconic looks, such as the beautifully crafted Monza-style filler cap.

All new suspension and geometry has been tuned to offer better handling and neutrality - probably the best handling bike in the lot. Like the rest of the 2016 Triumph Bonneville gang, the Thruxton also comes with the optional Vance & Hines exhaust system which adds to the race bike feel. While the ‘inspiration’ kit for the first time includes a full factory Thruxton R Race Performance kit, specifically developed for closed circuit competition. The 2016 Triumph Thruxton R will be produced in Thailand and assembled in India and expect a launch by late 2016 in the Indian market.
