Triumph Finally Releases Full Specs for Thruxton and Thruxton R
The most powerful members of Triumph’s new Bonneville family are the 1200 cc, parallel-twin Thruxton and Thruxton R. Final production specifications have now been released by Triumph for these models.
Triumph is claiming a healthy 96 horsepower (at a relatively low 6,750 rpm) and 83 pound/feet of torque (at 4,950 rpm). In other words, a torque monster that should be more than quick enough around town and on the highway. The 17″ spoked wheels carry tubeless Pirellis, and both models feature 310 mm dual front discs. The upmarket Thruxton R gets fully adjustable suspension (including Öhlins shocks) and Brembo monobloc front calipers. We can’t wait to swing a leg over these new models. Here are the specifications from Triumph.
