The new Final Edition of Triumph’s renowned British café racer, the Thruxton, has been revealed recently.
A history that has spanned over two decades since its rebirth will come to an end with this model, which is scheduled for release in 2024. Launched to commemorate the 80th anniversary of its parent, the original Triumph Thruxton was first introduced in 1964.
Triumph has included numerous unique elements to set this game-changing model apart. The most noticeable of changes is the paint job, which is a metallic ‘Competition Green’ that honours Thruxton’s 1960s racing history. A subtle way to give a touch of elegance is the gold embellishments on the tank and tail section, which have the artist’s initials painted on them.
In contrast with the blacked-out side panels and mudguards, the gold Thruxton Final Edition branding and the legacy Triumph insignia on the tank are equally striking. According to AutoX, the cost of the Thruxton Final Edition is £15,095 (about Rs 15.32 lakh). Also, the Final Edition pays respect to the racing history of the cafe racer by fusing the beauty and grace of the Thruxton RS.
To further increase the motorcycle’s rarity, buyers will also get a certificate of authenticity signed by Triumph CEO Nick Bloor and members of the Thruxton 1,200 design team, which will display the motorcycle’s unique vehicle identification number (VIN) number. In addition, Triumph is now selling a custom cockpit fairing as an add-on to round off the cafe racer style.
The bike is equipped with all the best components, including fully adjustable Showa shocks up front and Ohlins dual shock absorbers down back, Brembo brake hardware, and gripping Metzeler Racetec rubber on traditional wire-spoke wheels.
It is built on the same technological platform as the Thruxton RS. The same 1200cc twin-cylinder Bonneville engine, which produces 112 Nm and 103 bhp, powers the motorbike and is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox.
Furthermore, the braking hardware is also supplied by Brembo and consists of two M50 callipers that clamp down on front 310mm rotors. The tyres on this bike are the same as those on the flagship Speed Triple 1200 RS—grippy Metzeler Racetec RRs—but they are mounted on gorgeous, historically accurate tubeless wire-spoke rims.
The Triumph Thruxton Final Edition is expected to arrive at dealerships around the globe. Triumph dealerships are currently taking orders. In the upcoming months, the brand is also expected to introduce the motorbike in India.
