Get ready for a retro-inspired thrill! Triumph Motorcycles is set to introduce its much-awaited café racer-styled Triumph Thruxton 400 in India on August 6, 2025. With bold styling, modern features, and a punchy performance, this bike is expected to turn heads and win hearts—especially among retro motorcycle lovers.
A Glimpse from the Teaser
Triumph Motorcycles India has published a "Save the Date" teaser on their social media channels, which has all the motorcycling fraternity going crazy. Although the teaser did not provide much information, some keen motorcycle lovers were able to identify the outline of the Triumph Thruxton 400, potentially a new bold entry into the 400cc segment.
Retro Meets Modern – Design & Styling
Spotted earlier during a TVC shoot in Delhi NCR, the Thruxton 400 continues the design legacy of its larger siblings. The standout visual is its retro café racer-inspired semi-fairing, adding a sporty and classic vibe.
Key design elements include:
- Retro round LED headlamp with semi-fairing
- Bar-end mirrors for a vintage racer look
- Sporty rear-seat cowl
- Minimalist tail section for sleek styling
With a clear nod to the iconic Thruxton family, the Thruxton 400 combines heritage with modern utility, making it an eye-catching street bike.
Performance That Packs a Punch
The Triumph Thruxton 400 will feature the familiar 398cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, shared with the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X. However, this version is expected to be slightly tweaked to suit the café racer character.
