TRIUMPH Thruxton 900 (2016-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2016, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Thruxton 900, a cafe racer-styled motorcycle updated with many state-of-the-art modern technologies and manufactured for a modern ride.

In the aesthetic department, the bike was similar to previous models, packing standard features, such as a round headlight with the instruments mounted on top, a single seat, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and wire-spoke wheels.

The suspension department featured a 41 mm preload-adjustable Kayaba fork on the front and twin side-mounted Kayaba preload-adjustable Kayaba shock absorbers on the rear, offering optimum suspension performance and handling.

As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 310 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, delivering optimum stopping power.

The 2016 Triumph Thruxton 900 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 69 hp with maximum strength at 7,400 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) torque at 5,800 rpm.

The bike's engine worked in tandem with a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch and sent all the power to the rear through a final chain drive.

The 2016 Triumph Thruxton 900 was available in Diablo Red with Lunar Silver, Matt Pacific Blue, and Jet Black liveries and came with an MSRP of $9,400.
