1. HISTORIC BLOODLINE

The success of the original Triumph Bonneville T120 Thruxton racer played a major part in the emergence of motorcycle racing during the late 50s and 1960s when this outstanding motorcycle literally made its name following the first-ever Thruxton 500 series race win, and securing its place in motorcycle history at the 1969 Isle of Man TT where it was the first production motorbike to average over 100mph.

In the 1960s, the Bonneville T120 distinctive nose-down posture and urban performance and handling made it a favourite with young riders keen to build their own ‘Thruxton’ cafe racer, but it wasn’t until 2004 that a Thruxton graced Triumph’s burgeoning Modern Classics line-up.  The Thruxton RS takes up where the celebrated Thruxton R left off and evolves Triumph’s cafe racer to a whole new level all over again, with significantly enhanced performance and specification.

2. HIGHER POWER THRUXTON ENGINE

The Thruxton RS introduces an updated Euro 5 compliant twin 1200cc Bonneville engine with significant updates that deliver more power, peak torque lower in the rev range, more amazing Thruxton character and an incredible British twin sound.

It’s an updated engine with more power.  With 105 PS @ 7,500 rpm the Thruxton RS peaks at 8PS more than the previous Thruxton to deliver a more thrilling cafe racer performance above 5,750rpm and all the way up to the rev limiter.  The Thruxton RS torque also peaks lower down, too; 112Nm is now delivered at 4,250rpm which is 700rpm lower in the rev range than before.

Delivering a 20% reduction of engine inertia and 500rpm higher rev limiter, significant upgrades to this Thruxton RS engine include lightweight low inertia crankshaft, clutch, balance shafts, rare-earth alternator, magnesium cam cover, thin-walled engine covers, as well as high compression pistons, revised ports and cam profile, and secondary air system.

3. ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY & CAPABILITY

This is a motorcycle with all of the advanced modern capability and ride-enhancing technology needed to match its timeless racing looks.  There are three enhanced riding modes – Road, Rain and Sport – each featuring a dedicated throttle map and a dedicated traction control setting for each mode to improve responsiveness.

The Thruxton’s LED lighting set-up is unique, and benefits from lower energy consumption and greater long term durability. A distinctive LED Daytime Running Light* with branded bulb cap and minimal elegant LED rear light incorporated into the classically-inspired stylish rear end silhouette add an extra dimension of style.

Additional standard features include a USB charging socket, engine immobiliser, and a feature-packed twin clock set-up with at-a-glance information including riding mode setting, gear position indicator, fuel level and odometer completes the superb rider-focused technology of the Thruxton RS.
