TRIUMPH Thruxton 900 (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Triumph Thruxton was a series of British-made motorcycles powered by a parallel-twin air-cooled engine in a sports package. The Thruxton name was first used on a hand-built motorcycle that competed in endurance racing in the mid-1960s and was later revived in the 2000s.

In the aesthetic department, the motorcycle was fitted with standard features, such as a round headlight with the instruments mounted on top, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a single seat with a passenger seat cover, side-mounted rear shocks, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels.

The 2011 Triumph Thruxton had installed underneath its fuel tank an 865cc four-stroke air-cooled parallel-twin engine with an electronic fuel injection system in charge, boasting 68 hp with maximum strength at 7,400 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) torque at 5,800 rpm.

The bike was built on a tubular steel cradle frame with a 41 mm adjustable Kayaba fork on the front and dual adjustable side-mounted shock absorbers on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance and handling.

In the braking department, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 320 mm floating disc tied to a dual-piston Nissin caliper on the front and a 255 mm disc with a two-piston Nissin caliper on the rear, delivering optimum stopping power.
