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.
