British motorcycle brand Triumph, in collaboration with Bajaj, is gearing up to introduce an exciting addition to its 400cc range — the Thruxton 400. This upcoming café racer-style motorcycle is expected to hit the Indian market in August, offering a new retro-modern option for enthusiasts.
Will sit above the Scrambler 400X
The Thruxton 400 is expected to be the most premium model in the brand’s 400cc segment. It will be positioned above the Scrambler 400X, making it the fifth offering in the 400cc lineup after the Speed 400, Scrambler 400X, entry-level T4, and the newly introduced Scrambler 400XC.
Inspired by its bigger Thruxton sibling
Spy shots of the Thruxton 400 test model reveal a striking design influenced by the larger Thruxton series. Key features include:
- A round LED headlamp
- Café racer-style fairing
- Bar-end mirrors
These elements come together to create a sleek, retro-inspired appearance, appealing to riders who appreciate timeless aesthetics.
Same 399cc engine and modern tech features
Under the tank, the Thruxton 400 will share the same 399cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine used in the other 400cc Triumph models. Performance specs include:
- 39.5 bhp
- 37.5 Nm of torque
- 6-speed gearbox
Expected standard features:
- Full LED lighting
- Dual-channel ABS
- Traction control
- Semi-digital instrument cluster
This ensures that while the bike looks retro, it comes packed with modern tech for safety and convenience.
Could become India’s best-selling café racer
The café racer category is still considered a niche market in India, but Bajaj is confident in the Thruxton 400’s potential. With over 65,000 Triumph bikes already sold globally, the addition of the Thruxton could further accelerate sales.
In fact, Bajaj believes this model might even become the highest-selling café racer in the country, combining strong performance, classic design, and an affordable entry into the segment.
Flat Tracker 400 is also in the pipeline
While the Thruxton 400 is readying for launch, Triumph and Bajaj are also working on another model — the Flat Tracker 400, recently spotted testing in Europe. This bike is expected to bridge the pricing gap between the Speed T4 and the Speed 400, targeting urban riders with its flat-track styling.
However, the Flat Tracker is still a few months away from reaching showrooms.
