Thruxton RS

Triumph Motorcycles dengan rasminya mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada model ‘cafe-racer’ popular, Triumph Thruxton menerusi Triumph Thruxton Final Edition 2024.

Menurut Triumph, Thruxton Final Edition ini dibangunkan daripada platform Thruxton RS. Hasilnya, model ini dikuasakan enjin parallel-twin 1,200cc Bonneville yang berupaya menghasilkan 104hp pada 7,5000rpm dan 112Nm pada 4,250rpm. Enjin ini juga dipadankan bersama transmisi manual 6-kelajuan.

Selain itu, Thruxton Final Edition ini juga didatangkan dengan pakej kerangka, suspensi, brek, rim dan tayar yang sama seperti Thruxton RS termasuk fork Showa Big Piston USD 43mm boleh laras di bahagian depan dan penyerap hentak berkembar belakang Ohlins. Kedua-dua komponen ini menawarkan pelarasan sepenuhnya dengan jarak pergerakan 120mm. 

Pakej brek terdiri daripada Brembo M50 4-pot berkembar dengan cakera brek 310mm. Bahagian belakang pula dikendalikan brek Nissin 2-pot dengan cakera 220mm. ABS juga didatangkan secara standard. 

Tayar pula merangkumi rim 17-inci aluminium ringan yang dipadankan bersama Metzeler Racetec RR. 

Sebagai model edisi khas, Thruxton Final Edition ini tampil dengan pilihan warna metalik Competition Green dengan kemasan berwarna hitam. Tangki pula diwarnai dengan garisan keemasan termasuk penutup tempat duduk belakang. Juga melengkapkan imej edisi khas ini adalah logo Triumph berwarna emas. 

Menurut Triumph, setiap Thruxton Final Edition ini datang dengan sijil khas yang memaparkan no. VIN dan tanda tangan pasukan rekaan selain CEO Triumph, Nick Bloor. 

Triumph Motorcycles has unveiled the special edition Street Twin, Thruxton RS and Rocket 3 R & GT for 2022.

Each of the motorcycles carries its own story and styling and is made available for one year only, beginning December 2021.

Triumph Rocket 3 R and 3 GT 221 Edition

Triumph has always been proud of the Rocket 3 line, and the special edition celebrates the monstrous 221Nm of peak torque available from the largest production engine on the planet.

The number 221 is also inscribed on the tank to remind you how powerful the engine is.

The 221 Editions also feature a Red Hopper fuel tank and front mudguard with Sapphire Black rear mudguard, flyscreen and front fascia.

Triumph Thruxton RS Ton Up Edition

Claimed to be the ultimate cafe racer, the special edition Thruxton RS was inspired by the ‘Ton-Up Boys’ of the 1950s and 60s.

It features an Aegean Blue fuel tank with jet black knee pad graphics, Fusion White seat cowl with ‘100 Special Edition’ graphics and hand-painted coach lining.

Triumph Street Twin EC1 Edition

Inspired by the two-wheel culture in East London, the EC1 Edition takes you back with a unique paint scheme to reflect the East End.

The EC1 Edtion features Matt Aluminium Silver and Matt Sliver Ice fuel tank with hand-painted silver coach lining.

All three models are not limited but are restricted to just a one-year production beginning from December 2021 until December 2022.

  • Another teaser, but it’s for the 2020 Triumph Thruxton RS this time.

  • The Thruxton R was one of the best bikes we’ve tested.

  • But it was the best factory café racer of all.

Here comes another teaser video. But oh dear, it’s for the 2020 Triumph Thruxton RS.

It’s a very short video, showing the Thruxton RS badge on a side panel and telling us to that it’ll be launched on 5th November. That’s the second day of EICMA 2019. No other detail was presented.

If there’s any indication of what’s new, the previous bike was called the Thruxton and Thruxton R. But the “R” was so good, so entertaining, so satisfying to ride that we don’t know what to expect of the “RS.”

The previous model had super smooth fuelling, predictable and linear throttle, and a punchy 1200cc liquid-cooled, 270-degree crank, parallel-Twin engine. The power plant is marked as “HP” for “High Power,” instead of the Bonneville T120 and T100’s “HT” (High Torque) variety.

And as with all Triumph’s the handling was superb right out of the box. The “R” version we tested had Öhlins shocks at the back and Showa BPF forks up front.

We wrapped up our tests by pronouncing the Thruxton R as the best factory café racer, bar none.

Triumph then followed up with the limited edition Thruxton R TFC. Clad in carbon fibre, only 750 were made.

We can’t wait for the new RS!
