Triumph could soon introduce a third model to its 400cc range of bikes. The Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X are likely to be joined by the Thruxton 400.<\/p>\n
Triumph’s new 400cc cafe racer-style bike was recently spotted testing on public roads. Spy images reveal a bubble-type fairing similar to the Thruxton big bike and a round headlamp. It also has clip-on handlebars, while the rest of the bike looks identical to its sibling, the Speed 400.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Thruxton 400 is expected to share the same chassis and suspension as the roadster. The test bike is equipped with an upside-down front fork and a monoshock at the rear. It has disc brakes at both ends and rides on alloy wheels.<\/p>\n
The Thruxton 400 will also share its engine with the Speed 400. The 398.15cc, single-cylinder unit puts out 39.5 BHP and 37.5 Nm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox via a torque-assist clutch.<\/p>\n
