Triumph Thruxton Final Edition

The Triumph Thruxton Final Edition – A legendary café racer celebrates its final chapter with elegance and performance.

The Thruxton lineage’s roots are entrenched deep within Triumph’s history. Born in 1964 as a limited-edition racer, its unmatched racing style and performance won accolades worldwide. Its modern iterations, the 1200cc Thruxton R in 2016 and the RS in 2019 continued to set benchmarks in the motorcycling world. Triumph commemorates this end with the release of the Thruxton Final Edition, a nod to its illustrious heritage while encapsulating the apex of its evolution. This masterpiece is crafted upon the foundation of the Thruxton RS, carrying its performance and premium specifications. It arrives with an exclusive Competition Green paint, accented with hand-painted gold lining.

The Thruxton Final Edition boasts the High Power (HP) 1200cc Bonneville parallel engine with an output rating of 104HP with 82.6-foot pounds of torque. Its road handling is premium, thanks to race-bred, fully adjustable Showa Big Piston forks and twin Öhlins piggy-back rear suspension units. The fully adjustable suspension offers the ideal balance of comfort and superb handling. The Brembo M50 radial brake calipers are matched to floating 310mm Brembo discs, delivering massive stopping power.

The café racer style features blacked-out engine covers, cam cover finishes, and anodized black wheel rims. The Final Edition takes this style to the next level with a Competition Green paint scheme that celebrates the bike’s British racing heritage. The deep green color contrasts with the black sheen of the side panels and mudguards. The bike retains all the trademark details of the original model, resulting in a captivating special edition motorcycle that embodies the essence and legacy of the Thruxton.

There are three different riding modes: Road, Rain, and Sport. These modes allow the rider to adjust the throttle map and traction control settings while on the go. The twin clock dash setup provides easy-to-read information such as the current riding mode, gear position indicator, fuel level, and odometer. An additional feature is a USB charging port, which is convenient for charging sat-navs, phones, and other devices.

The Triumph Thruxton boasts over 80 genuine accessories, including a passenger setup with a seat, footrests, and grab rail and numerous options for style, protection, comfort, and security. The Final Edition of the Thruxton comes with a bespoke accessory cockpit fairing that is color-matched to the exclusive Competition Green paint scheme. This practical fairing enhances the bike’s sleek look and adds a unique aesthetic to the Thruxton Final Edition.

Each bike is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity that displays the bike’s exclusive VIN, signed by members of the Thruxton 1200 design team and Triumph’s CEO, Nick Bloor. Each motorcycle will also be supplied with a unique Final Edition engine badge with a gold-finished surround and a Final Edition graphic infill.

Paul Stroud, Triumph Motorcycles’ Chief Commercial Officer, aptly puts it, “The Thruxton will bow out of production at the very pinnacle of its development with a special edition that secures its place in the history books of Triumph Motorcycles.” Available for a retail price starting at $17,995 MSRP, the Thruxton Final Edition will arrive in dealerships in Spring 2024.
