Triumph Thruxton 400 performance tested and explained

-
Triumph Thruxton 400 front three fourth tracking shot
The Triumph Thruxton 400 is a café racer with clip-on handlebars and has a more aggressive riding position than the Speed 400. The engine in this bike is tuned to be quicker and hit a higher top speed. It has a kerb weight of 183 kg, feels nimble, and is characterful to ride. Here is what our tests revealed.
 

Triumph Thruxton 400: Acceleration

Testing of the Thruxton 400 was conducted on a damp road during the monsoon season

Acceleration
0-60kph 2.93s
0-80kph 4.47s
0-100kph 6.62s
For a clean launch off the line, we needed to switch off the Traction Control system. Acceleration felt potent from the get-go, and the tyres provided adequate grip, despite the damp conditions. With these acceleration figures, the Thruxton 400 is the quickest bike from the Triumph 400cc range.
 

Triumph Thruxton 400: Roll-on acceleration

The 398cc, single-cylinder engine in the Thruxton 400 makes 42hp at 9,000rpm and 37.5Nm of peak torque at 7,500rpm. 

Roll-on Acceleration
20-50kph (2nd Gear) 1.97s
30-70kph (3rdGear) 3.19s
50-80kph (4th Gear) 3.11s
With changes to the tuning of the engine and sprocketing, the Thruxton has slightly taller gears with good mid-range pull, and it is also quite tractable. In our in-gear roll-on tests, the bike surged forward quickly, proving that it can make quick overtakes when needed. There are noticeable vibrations that creep in on the bars and pegs as the bike hits the higher rev range, but nothing that ruins the ride experience. 
 

Triumph Thruxton 400: Braking

Sharp and precise

Braking
60-0kph 15.90m
Braking on the Thruxton 400 feels confidence-inspiring, where the bike comes to a halt in a controlled manner. The feel at the front brake lever is sharp, and ABS intervention is minimal. Just like the Speed 400, the Thruxton 400 comes equipped with sintered brake pads at the front.
 

Triumph Thruxton 400: Specifications and price

The most powerful Triumph 400cc and is is priced Rs 25,000 more than the Speed 400

Specifications and Price
Engine 398cc, single cyl, liquid cooled

Auto Expo 2023: 9 new Tata Motors car, SUV launches by 2025

Tata Motors had a blockbuster showing at Auto Expo 2023, with several models on display in various states of production readiness. However, while Tata’s announcement was quite scant on details, we’ve received a bit more information from company sources, specifically around when these cars will be launched. The products are an even mix of EV and ICE products, but while the latter includes petrol and CNG models, there has been no word on further diesel development, which means the present 1.5-litre engine in the Nexon , and the Fiat-sourced 2.0 in the Harrier and Safari , will soldier on for some time. New Tata Sierra launch in 2025 with new 1.5 petrol engine Undoubtedly the biggest star at the Tata Motors stall, the second iteration of the Sierra EV concept has inched ever closer to production-ready guise. Now with four doors and an interior with conventional controls and switchgear, it’s clear this model is in its final stages of development. However, while the concept is an EV b...

Honda  has officially delisted the Amaze  diesel model from its website. The compact sedan was the final diesel model in its segment that currently comprises of the Hyundai Aura , Tata Tigor and the Maruti Suzuki Dzire . Amaze diesel was available in three trims Was the only diesel automatic model in its segment Honda Amaze diesel: reason for discontinuation As we've reported before, the upcoming implementation of the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms in India from April 2023 is the key reason for the Amaze's diesel engine being dropped.  Upgrading diesel engines to meet the new stringent emissions regulations is expensive. This, combined with the low demand for diesel in this segment, meant that there was little business case for the Amaze diesel. Currently, Honda has only two diesel-powered models on sale in India – the  WR-V  and  5th gen City .  However, these cars, too, are slated to be axed as the brand  will cease producing diese...
