About the Thruxton 900 - The Triumph Thruxton 900 is a modern interpretation of the classic café racers of the past. Drawing on Triumph’s steep racing heritage, the motorcycle and its classic silhouette reach back to the evolution of purpose-built sport bikes and the era of the café racer. With its clip-on handlebars and rearset footpegs, the Thruxton 900 is perfectly suited to spec class roadracing. The Thruxton features an 865cc air-cooled twin-cylinder power plant. Peak power output of 69 hp is delivered at 7,250 rpm and peak torque of 53 ft. lbs. arrives at 5,750 rpm.
The precisely crafted chassis inspires confidence with preload-adjustable 41mm telescopic forks, sharp steering geometry, and a fully floating 320mm front disc with twin-piston brake caliper in a tubular steel twin-cradle frame.
