UltimateSpecs lists 97 HP @ 6250 rpm maximum power, 112 Nm @ 4900 rpm maximum torque, single-disc ABS brakes at both ends, a 120/70-ZR17 front and 160/60-ZR17 rear tyre, a 14.5 litre fuel tank and a 206 kg dry weight.

About the Triumph Thruxton 1200

Overview

The Triumph Thruxton 1200 is a motorcycle from Triumph. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. With a 1,200 cc engine it sits in the big-bike, 800 cc-plus class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 1,200 cc air-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 97 HP at 6,250 rpm and 112 Nm of torque at 4,900 rpm. Peak torque arrives low in the rev range, at 4,900 rpm, which makes it relaxed to ride in traffic. Its bore is wider than its stroke (97.6 x 80.0 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 477 PS per tonne; by that measure, its performance is at superbike level and rewards an experienced rider.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a tubular steel cradle frame. Suspension is by kayaba 41mm forks, adjustable preload at the front and kayaba chromed spring twin shocks, adjustable preload at the rear. Braking is by a 310 mm disc at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear. It rides on 17-inch wheels — 120/70-ZR17 at the front and 160/60-ZR17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 805 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 206 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. It is 2,150 mm long, with 1,415 mm between the axles. It carries 14.5 L of fuel.

Maintaining the Triumph Thruxton 1200

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Single disc, 310 mm, Nissin 2-piston floating caliper, ABS and Single disc, 220 mm, Nissin 2-piston floating caliper, ABS brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 120/70-ZR17 / 160/60-ZR17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Triumph Thruxton 1200 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

ABS
Anti-lock braking system. It stops a wheel locking up during hard braking so the rider can keep steering. A single-channel system works on one wheel, usually the front; a dual-channel system works on both.
Fuel injection
Petrol is delivered by an electronically controlled injector instead of a carburettor, which helps with easy starting and steady fuel economy.
Air cooling
The engine is cooled by air flowing over its fins. It is simpler and needs no coolant, which keeps upkeep straightforward.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
