While we were expecting Triumph to launch the Thruxton in the market a recent spot by reported by Zigwheels might stand to differ. In a recent report the new 400 x scrambler as well as the Thruxton 400 have been spotted testing. The Photos of the bikes being tested have been shared by Motorrad magazine. The Bikes have seemingly gone through a slew of changes and seem much more similar to production spec variants.
Here is a detailed look at what the images have showcased.
Scrambler 400 X
The Scrambler has fared through the market for 2 years and it appears that Triumph has been planning to give the bike a update. In the recent spot the bike was seen with spoke wheels instead of the alloy wheels it was launched with. The bike has been spotted testing again, and this time around it gets cross spoked tubeless tires and wheels. The New wheels indicate that the bike would become more off roading capable with time.
The Test mule was spotted with an engine guard which would protect the engine in case of a fall. Beyond that some of the other changes that we were able to witness were a new front beak a taller screen upfront which are available both as a optional accessory and flyscreen.
Apart from the cosmetic changes the bike seemingly has the same underpinnings as that of the older versions. The bike would be powered with from a 398 cc Single Cylinder Liquid Cooled Engine which makes about 40 Ps of power and about 37.5 Nm of peak torque. The Bike would have a adjustable monoshock at the rear and inverted telescopic suspensions in front.
Triumph Thruxton 400
The Thruxton is one of the most highly anticipated bikes that the brand would soon be launching in India. The bike has been spotted testing in India a few times. The bike gets frame mounted fairings, clip on handlebars as well as rear set footpegs and bar end mirrors. The bikes riding triangle is quite different than that of the scrambler. The bike gives the rider much more space to squeeze yourself beneath the cowl for a more agile riding dynamics.
Here Are a Few Of The Expected Changes
Triumph would probably give the scrambler with a increased suspension travel along with a new engine tune that can further provide the bike with better performance. Or maybe the bike would be fitted with new sprockets and receive and overall change endearing to help the bike be more aggressive on the road.
