2016 Triumph Thruxton, Thruxton R Specs Released
Triumph has released full specifications for the 2016 Thruxton and Thruxton R to coincide with the new models’ press launch. Tom Roderick’s first ride review will be up later this week but let’s take a look at the numbers. Both versions of the new Thruxton share the same 1200cc parallel-Twin engine. As with the rest of Triumph’s 2016 classic models, the engine uses a 270° crank instead of the 360° crankshaft used in the previous models. The engine boasts the same bore and stroke as the one powering the Bonneville T120 but has a higher compression ratio. Triumph says the Thruxton received a “high power” tuning, claiming 96 hp at 6750 rpm, or about 21.5% more power than the new Bonneville. Claiming 82.6 lb-ft., the Thruxton also gets a bit more torque than the T120, but the Bonneville and its “high torque” tuning reaches its peak at a lower engine speed.
