Triumph Motorcycles is clearly on a roll in the Indian market. After successfully launching the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, the British marque is now gearing up to bring its most retro-inspired 400cc machine yet — the Triumph Thruxton 400. And guess what? The upcoming café racer has just been spotted testing in India, completely undisguised, giving us a clear look at what to expect.
Here’s everything we know so far.
The test mule snapped recently looks nearly production-ready. One glance, and it’s evident that the Thruxton 400 draws heavy inspiration from its bigger sibling, the Thruxton 1200 — a motorcycle known globally for its café racer legacy.
Design highlights include:
In short, this is Triumph blending old-school charisma with today’s tech.
While the Thruxton 400 looks classic, what’s under the hood is thoroughly modern. It’s expected to share the same engine platform as the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X — a 399cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor.
Expected figures:
Mated to a slick gearbox and likely tuned for a sportier, road-focused riding experience, this engine should make the Thruxton 400 more than just a pretty face.
Triumph is reportedly planning to price the Thruxton 400 between ₹2.50 lakh to ₹2.60 lakh (ex-showroom). That puts it squarely in competition with the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, Jawa 42 Bobber, and even the Yezdi Roadster, especially for buyers who prioritize classic design and brand heritage.
But what sets the Thruxton apart is its lightweight 400cc frame, premium fit and finish, and Triumph’s rising reputation for solid build quality and refined rideability in the sub-500cc space.

All signs point to an official launch in August 2025. With the bike already testing without camouflage, it’s only a matter of weeks before Triumph officially pulls the covers off.
If you’re someone who’s always admired the old-school café racer aesthetic but wanted it in a more accessible, nimble, and affordable form — the 2025 Triumph Thruxton 400 might just be your dream bike. It promises timeless styling, a strong performance package, and the credibility of a brand that’s quickly winning hearts in India’s mid-weight segment.
With this launch, Triumph is not just expanding its portfolio — it’s reviving an iconic silhouette for a new generation of riders.
