THE BIRTH OF AN ICON
The original Triumph Bonneville T120 Thruxton racer played a major part in early motorsport on both sides of the Atlantic, where the first incarnation of this incredible motorcycle was a dominating force right from the start, literally making its name following the first-ever Thruxton 500 race win in 1958.
SUCCESS IN THE SIXTIES
Inspired by that first win, the original limited-edition Thruxton endurance racer was born to compete in the 1965 season. It was an instant success, going on to lock-out the podium taking first, second, and third position at the 1969 Thruxton 500-mile race.
THE LEGEND REBORN
With all the hallmarks of a pure cafe racer, one of the first models to roll out of the then new Triumph Hinckley factory was the 900cc Thruxton, which saw a four-year production run from 2004 – the legend was reborn.
THE ULTIMATE CAFE RACER
With Triumph leading the thriving modern classic scene, one machine was notable by its absence. After an eight-year hiatus, in 2016 the first 1200cc Thruxton R hit the showrooms. With an all-new design and more performance than ever before, the Thruxton R created a new performance benchmark for the modern era.
EVOLUTION OF AN ICON
Three years on, the Thruxton RS took the Cafe Racer genre into new territory with a new name for a new generation of capability. Increased power, improved handling and a specification like no other ensured the 2019 Thruxton RS had peerless performance and the looks to match.
THE FINAL CHAPTER
The Final Edition represents the pinnacle of Thruxton development, celebrating two decades of the Thruxton in the modern era with all the hallmarks of the celebrated Thruxton RS and an exclusive hand-finished design scheme, available for one last production run.

An exclusive opportunity to own a piece of motorcycling history.
EXQUISITE FINISH AND DETAILING
Contrasting black side panels and mudguard set off the Final Edition’s racing-inspired Competition Green metallic paint scheme, while hand-painted gold-line detailing beautifully complements the gold heritage logo and Final Edition seat cowl branding, combining to create a design scheme that blends a celebration of the Thruxton’s racing history with contemporary design flair.
FINAL EDITION ENGINE BADGE
Each Thruxton Final Edition is supplied with an exclusive alternator badge. Featuring a gold-finished surround and ‘Final Edition’ graphic infill, this special part can either be fitted to the bike or simply displayed and admired as a unique tribute to this iconic machine.
Owners of the Final Edition models sold worldwide will each receive an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Featuring the bike’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), this document celebrates 19 years of production and is signed by the Thruxton 1200 design team and Triumph CEO, Nick Bloor.
HP BONNEVILLE ENGINE
The ‘High-Torque’ 1200cc twin-cylinder engine is fed by twin throttle bodies and delivers thrilling modern performance with real character. Beautifully engineered and finished to complement the Thruxton’s heritage-inspired design and with a rich and evocative British-twin soundtrack from twin conical silencers.
CAFE RACER HANDLING
Agile and focused, the Thruxton’s sublime handling is the result of sporty, engaging ergonomics and a beautifully-balanced chassis fitted with class-leading suspension and braking components from Showa, Öhlins and Brembo. Race-spec Metzeler Racetec RR tires complete this thrilling package.
ACCESSORY COCKPIT FAIRING
The standout item from more than 80 options in an extensive Thruxton-specific accessory range, the cockpit fairing adds even more authentic cafe racer style, is color-matched to the bike’s Competition Green paint scheme and finished to the same exacting standards.

PEAK PERFORMANCE
The ultimate café racer, the Thruxton Final Edition features the most powerful 1200cc Bonneville engine in Triumph’s modern classic range.
Tuned specifically for the Thruxton, the parallel twin produces 104HP (105PS) @ 7,500rpm with increased power both low down in the rev range for exhilarating acceleration, throughout the mid-range and all the way to the top end. Torque is just as impressive, with 82.6 FTLB (112Nm) delivered earlier in the rev range than other Bonneville-powered machines at 4,250rpm. Peak performance that befits the marking of the final run of this iconic motorcycle and makes the Final Edition truly special.
MODERN, AGILE, AND INTUITIVE HANDLING
The Thruxton is well regarded by owners and the press alike for its intuitive, dynamic, and performance-focused road handling. From the race-inspired riding position with its clip-on bars, every component is carefully selected and then fine-tuned to bring out the very best of the Thruxton Final Edition’s sports-focused chassis.
Premium high-specification Showa ’Big Piston’ forks paired with twin Öhlins piggyback rear suspension units provide full adjustability giving the perfect balance of comfort and superb road handling. Best-in-class Brembo M50 radial brake calipers matched to floating 310mm Brembo discs deliver massive stopping power with intuitive lever feel and the reassurance of ABS.
Lightweight tubeless 32-spoke 17” wheels further aid the Thruxton’s agility while the connection to the road is assured and confidence-inspiring thanks to the fitment of Metzeler Racetec RR tyris — providing racetrack levels of grip and superb rider feedback.
ICONIC CAFÉ RACER STYLING
The Thruxton’s inimitable café racer styling, with its contemporary blacked-out style that includes black powder-coated engine covers, cam cover finishes, and premium anodized black wheel rims — with attention to detail that runs right the way through to the Öhlins rear suspension unit springs — has been taken to the next level for the Final Edition.
The Competition Green paint scheme celebrates the Thruxton’s British racing heritage with the classic Triumph logo and matching, hand-painted, gold-line detailing on the sculpted fuel tank and seat cowl. This stunning deep green is set against the lustrous black sheen of the side panels and mudguards, the former finished with an exclusive Thruxton Final Edition logo.
All the Thruxton’s trademark details remain — from the single bullet seat and Monza style fuel filler cap to the brushed stainless steel tank strap, clear anodized aluminum swingarm, sports foot pegs, and clip-on handlebars. The result is a striking special edition motorcycle that epitomizes the spirit and soul of a legend.
SPECIAL FINAL EDITION COLOR-MATCHED ACCESSORY COCKPIT FAIRING
There are over 80 genuine Triumph Thruxton accessories, including a ‘passenger set-up’ with seat, footrests and passenger grab rail, and a whole plethora of options to add style, protection, comfort, and security.
Bespoke to the Final Edition, a dedicated accessory cockpit fairing is also available, color matched to blend perfectly with the limited-edition Competition Green paint scheme. As beautiful as it is practical, this stunning fairing brings an alternative aesthetic to the striking Thruxton Final Edition.
OWNING A TRIUMPH LEGEND
Triumph Motorcycles’ Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud said: “The Thruxton has a special place in the hearts of many motorcyclists, and we are all immensely proud of this Final Edition, which captures the essence of the British café racer scene. The Thruxton will bow out of production at the very pinnacle of its development with a special edition that secures its place in the history books of Triumph Motorcycles.”
The 2024 Thruxton Final Edition is priced at $17,995 USD & $19,395 CAD. Orders can be placed now at Triumph dealers, with bikes arriving in dealers from Spring of 2024.
A TIMELINE OF THE ULTIMATE CAFÉ RACER
The winning Sixties
While its Bonneville roots can be traced back to the Fifties, the Thruxton was born as a limited-edition racer in 1964. An instant success in endurance races, the exclusive Thruxton aptly earning its biggest accolade by claiming all three podium places at the 1969 Thruxton 500-mile race. With success at the Isle of Man TT following shortly after, the Thruxton became the first production motorcycle to lap the Mountain Course at over 100mph. The Thruxton’s uncompromised racing style, handling and performance was a must for those protagonists of the traffic light Grand Prix, the world over.
The thoroughly modern Thruxton
In 2016 the first 1200cc Thruxton, the R, hit the showrooms, creating a new performance benchmark in this fast-growing category. Three years on, the Thruxton RS took the genre into new territories. Increased power, improved handling and a specification like no other ensured the 2019 Thruxton RS had peerless performance and the looks to match.
The final evolution
The absolute pinnacle of Thruxton development, celebrated with the exclusive and exquisite Final Edition. Hand-painted perfection, and available for just one last production run.
