At this point, I think it’s a well known fact that small bikes rule. Anyone who says otherwise either hasn’t ridden one, or forgot what motorcycles are really about. It’s not always about horsepower numbers or engine displacement—it’s about feel. It’s about character. And I think few manufacturers understand that better right now than Triumph.
Triumph has spent decades building some of the most iconic motorcycles in the world. From the Bonneville to the Daytona to the legendary Thruxton cafe racers, this British brand has long been the poster child for heritage that rides as good as it looks. But here’s the twist: with its new Thruxton 400, Triumph is proving that legacy doesn’t need a big engine to feel big.
Now, according to Indian motorcycle insider BikeWale, Triumph is gearing up to launch its newest 400cc model in India this August. It is, of course, the Thruxton 400, which is the latest result of Triumph’s partnership with Bajaj, the Indian manufacturer helping bring the brand’s DNA to a wider, more global audience. And while it may have a smaller heart, it beats with the same old-school racing spirit—or at least, that’s what Triumph and Bajaj want you to think.
