TRIUMPH Thruxton 900 ACE Special Edition (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2015, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Thruxton 900 Ace Special Edition, a machine celebrating the link between Triumph and the famous Ace Cafe synonymous with motorcycle history.

In the visual department, the special edition motorcycle packed several modifications, including a unique paint and decal scheme, a sculpted Oxblood custom seat, a detachable passenger seat cover, authentic bar end mirrors, and a handlebar plaque.

Besides that, the bike was fitted with the same standard features as the base model, including a round headlight with instruments mounted on top, a single seat, a dual chromed exhaust system, side-mounted rear shocks, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels.

The 900 Ace model shared the same suspension system as the base model, with a 41 mm preload-adjustable telescopic fork on the front and dual side-mounted preload-adjustable shock on the rear, offering optimum handling.

The braking power was retained from the standard version, with a 320 mm floating disc coupled to a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 255 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

As for the power figures, the 2015 Triumph Thruxton 900 Ace Special Edition had its soul brought to life by an 865cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 68 hp at 7,400 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 5,800 rpm.
