The Triumph Thruxton is an authentic no-nonsense cafe racer that didn’t lost its old school flair despite the new technologies that can be found under its skin. The bike receives good marks in the comfort, practicality and efficiency departments and won’t disappoint you with its relatively sporty suspensions either. You’ll also like the Nissin discs and calipers that offer a pretty sharp stopping power judging by café racer standards. The bike’s engine can reward you with a sporty riding in a classic type of way and the bike feels nimble at low speeds. At high speeds however, it isn’t as stable as expected, but the handling is great thanks to the narrow tires and the friendly chassis that help you tackle any windy road without too much fuss.
