TRIUMPH Thruxton 900 (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Triumph Thruxton was a range of British-made motorcycles with a cafe racer style powered by a parallel-twin air-cooled engine. The Thruxton 900 debuted in 2004 and was manufactured at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England.

In 2012, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Thruxton 900, a naked motorcycle in its ninth year of production. Over its production period, the bike received only a significant modification in the form of a fuel injection system.

In the visual department, the bike was similar to the previous models, packing the same standard features, such as a round headlight with instruments mounted on top, a single seat with a passenger seat cover, a dual exhaust system with reversed-cone mufflers, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels.

The bike was built on a tubular steel cradle frame with a 41 mm preload-adjustable Kayaba fork on the front with 120 mm wheel travel and twin preload-adjustable Kayaba shock absorbers on the rear with 106 mm wheel travel.

As for the braking power, the bike packed a 320 mm floating disc coupled to a dual-piston Nissin caliper on the front and a 255 mm disc with a two-piston Nissin caliper on the rear, offering optimum stopping power.

In the performance department, the 2012 Triumph Thruxton 900 had installed an 865cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled engine that delivered 69 hp at 7,400 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) torque at 5,800 rpm.
