Triumph bids farewell to the Thruxton with limited-run Final Edition

Oct 17, 2023

In 1964, Triumph released the original limited-edition Thruxton and it quickly made a name for itself on the race track. Four decades later, the revived Triumph brand brought back the Thruxton name and elevated the café racer genre at the same time. After 40,000 units sold and 20 years of continuous production, Triumph will close this chapter of the model’s story with the Thruxton Final Edition (FE).

The Thruxton is widely revered for its handsome appearance and classic style. The FE is based on the Thruxton RS and carries over some of its signature styling features, such as the single bullet seat, stainless-steel tank strap, and Monza-style fuel cap. Triumph then paints the FE in a deep, metallic green shade (deemed Competition Green by the Hinckley house). A heritage Triumph logo and hand-painted gold pinstripes further elevate the limited-edition livery. Flaunting that exclusivity, the contrasting black side covers also bear Final Edition branding.

Similar to the special-edition Gold Line series, Triumph's pinstriping artists sign each Thruxton Final Edition with their initials. Triumph photo.

Each unit also comes with a display engine badge featuring a Final Edition graphic infill and a gold-finished surround. That isn’t the only proof of exclusivity, either. Signed by Triumph CEO Nick Bloor and Thruxton design team members, a numbered certificate of authenticity sweetens the deal.

The last hurrah

Cosmetics and trinkets may differentiate the FE, but this final model also represents the performance pinnacle of the Thruxton line.  the Final Edition inherits Triumph’s 1,200 cc Bonneville twin, an engine rated at 103 horsepower (at 7,500 rpm) and 82.6 foot-pounds of torque (4,250 rpm). Respectable figures for any Modern Classic. Mating that power with control, Triumph arms the FE with a fully adjustable Showa Big Piston fork, dual Öhlins rear shocks, and Brembo M50 monobloc calipers.

The 32-spoke, 17-inch wheels preserve the classic look while Metzeler Racetec RR tires permit pace-pushing performance. Twin round gauges favor old-school simplicity, yet the model's tech includes riding modes (Road, Rain and Sport), traction control, ABS, and a USB charging port. 

From sweeping the podium at the 1969 Thruxton 500 to the emergence of the up-spec RS variant in 2019, the Thruxton family has both shaped and changed with the times. Triumph photo.

For even more café racer style, customers can add a color-matched cockpit fairing from Triumph’s accessories catalog. If practicality tops your list instead, a passenger seat, grab rail, and footrests unlock two-up capability. Offered as a 2025 model in North America, the Thruxton Final Edition will retail for $17,995 and arrive in Triumph showrooms by spring of 2024.
