2009 Triumph Thruxton

Brakes

• A fully floating 320 mm front disc and twin-piston brake caliper provide powerful, but sensitive, braking performance.

Chassis

• Wrapping the motor is a precisely crafted chassis that inspires confidence; its harder edge delivering real sporting character. The sturdy, preload adjustable 41 mm telescopic forks and twin rear shocks give superb suspension action and compliance while sharper steering geometry, a wheelbase of 1,490 mm and 18 inch aluminum-rimmed front wheel all aid steering input.

Engine

• The Thruxton’s 865cc, air-cooled, twin cylinder power plant, the most powerful of Triumph’s twin cylinder line-up, has a peak power output of 69 bhp delivered at 7,400 rpm and peak torque of 52 foot-pounDual Sport arrives at 5,800 rpm. The engine shares the same 360-degree firing interval as the Bonneville, as well as featuring "hot" camshaft profiles and a compression ratio of 9.9:1.

Fuelling

• The Thruxton features a fuel injection system designed for clean running and to meet Euro 3 legislation. The retro styling remains uncompromised though, as fuel injectors are cleverly concealed by throttle bodies designed to look like traditional carbs.

Handlebars

• The Thruxton's handlebars are one-piece tubular chromed steel bars and are set to give a sporty riding position. The stylish bar-end mirrors, engineered specifically for the Thruxton, come as standard.
