UK’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, Triumph Motorcycles, recently teased the top-spec variant of its popular Bonneville range, the Thruxton RS. The upcoming Thruxton RS is expected to be sportier than the existing Thruxton R, which means this new version will be the fastest cafe racer in Triumph’s entire range. Currently, in the Thruxton series, India only has the 1200 R and TFC limited edition bikes but is soon expected to get the RS version too. Triumph only teased the Thruxton RS badge in the video below and will soon be unveiling it on the 5th of November. Have a look at the teaser here:
Currently, India has the Triumph Thruxton 1200 R, which is quite a powerful and good looking bike. The Thruxton series come under the Bonneville range of bikes from Triumph, which means they share the engine and main chassis design from the other retro-classic bikes at Triumph. So, chances are that Triumph might use the new sporty engine of the Thruxton RS in some other bikes too. However, the Thruxton RS is still expected to be the fastest bike in the entire cafe racer segment and Triumph’s own lineup of retro-themed bikes.
