Triumph Thruxton 400 launch confirmed for August 6
The Thruxton 400 has been spotted multiple times during road testing. From what we've seen so far, it carries forward the familiar styling ethos of a traditional cafe racer, echoing the design language of the now-discontinued Thruxton 1200. Expect elements like a sculpted fuel tank, a more aggressive riding posture, a sleek rear seat cowl, bar-end mirrors, and clip-on handlebars—all pointing toward that classic cafe racer aesthetic.
Triumph has rolled out an invite which confirms that the Thruxton 400 will launch on August 6.

While Triumph hasn't released technical specs yet, the Thruxton 400 is expected to be powered by the same 398 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine found in the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X. This motor produces around 40 hp and 37.5 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. However, the Thruxton 400 may feature slightly revised gearing or engine tuning to match its sportier character.
Hardware is likely to remain familiar, with a upside-down front forks, mono-shock at the rear, and disc brakes at both ends equipped with dual-channel ABS. The overall weight and dimensions could be slightly tweaked to suit the bike's focused stance.

In terms of pricing, Triumph is expected to slot the Thruxton 400 slightly above the Speed 400, which is currently priced at ₹2.46 lakh (ex-showroom). Given its distinct styling and positioning, the cafe racer could appeal to a niche group of riders looking for a mix of modern engineering and retro appeal.
With the cafe racer scene gradually gaining traction in India, Triumph seems to be capitalising on the growing demand for character-rich motorcycles that are both fun and stylish. The Thruxton 400 could very well become the next crowd-puller in the sub-500cc segment when it arrives next week.

Bajaj Auto sales grow 3 per cent in July 2025, export growth offsets domestic decline
Bajaj Auto reported a marginal three per cent year-on-year increase in total sales for July 2025, backed by strong overseas demand even as sales in the domestic market continued to slide. The Indian manufacturer sold 3,66,000 units last month, up from 3,54,169 units in July 2024, according to data released on Thursday. Total domestic sales, including commercial vehicles, slumped by 13 per cent y-o-y to 1,83,143 units from 2,10,997 units in June 2024. The decline in domestic sales was driven by a fall in private two-wheeler sales, which stood at 1,39,279 units, down from 1,68,847 units in July 2024. When compared, this makes for a sharp 18 per cent y-o-y decline in sales. However, commercial vehicle sales in the domestic market grew marginally by 4 per cent to 43,864 units. In contrast, exports surged 21 per cent to 1,72,346 units, with two-wheeler exports rising 18 per cent and commercial vehicle exports jumping 49 per cent compared to the year-ago period. This robust export performance has helped Bajaj offset its current weakness in the domestic market. Also Read : Has the big bet on the Freedom CNG paid off? Bajaj ED Rakesh Sharma answers Exports continued as the highlight in Bajaj's July 2025 performance, rising 28 per cent y-o-y to 1,82,857 units. Two-wheeler exports climbed 22 per cent to 1,56,968 units, while commercial vehicle exports surged 79 per cent to 25,889 units. This robust growth in overseas markets has helped the company offset a decline in domestic demand. Bajaj Auto sales: April-July YTD numbers For the April–July period, Bajaj Auto's cumulative sales grew modestly by one per cent, with total volumes reaching 14,77,237 units. While domestic sales during these four months fell by nine per cent, exports rose 19 per cent, hitting 6,59,286 units. The company has been relying on its robust performance in the overseas markets to offset a decline in domestic demand. Bajaj Auto sales: FY25 annual results In its FY25 sales report, Bajaj had posted a three per cent growth in domestic two-wheeler volumes and a 13 per cent increase in exports compared to FY24 numbers. The company sold 22,50,585 two-wheelers in India in FY24, and this rose to 23,08,249 in the following fiscal year. Export figures stood at 14,77,338 units in FY24, reaching 16,74,060 in FY25.

Triumph Thruxton 400: Launch date, expected features, price, and all you need to know
Triumph Motorcycles is all set to unveil the Thruxton 400 on August 6, and to build anticipation, the company has dropped a creative teaser featuring a coffee cup with latte art shaped like a motorcycle — a clever nod to the café racer spirit the Thruxton series is known for. The motorcycle has recently been spotted undergoing tests in an undisguised avatar, confirming that the Thruxton 400 is production-ready and offering a clear view of its styling.

This engine is likely to produce 40 hp and 37.5 Nm of peak torque. With its launch, the Thruxton 400 will expand Triumph's 400cc lineup in India to five motorcycles. Based on spy images, the Thruxton 400 borrows heavily from the design of its larger sibling, the Thruxton 1200, which is sold in international markets. The motorcycle appears to feature a classic café racer-style fairing at the front, along with retro-styled round LED headlamps, a raked windscreen, and clip-on handlebars. Additional design highlights include a sculpted fuel tank and bar-end mirrors, which together give the bike a bold, aggressive look. Live Events While Triumph has not yet revealed the complete feature list, the Thruxton 400 is likely to be equipped with modern features such as a digital instrument cluster, dual-channel ABS, multiple riding modes, and more. In terms of pricing, the Thruxton 400 is expected to be launched in the range of Rs 2.50 to Rs 2.60 lakh (ex-showroom). If this estimate proves accurate, the retro café racer will carve out a niche for itself in the Indian market, entering a price and displacement segment with no direct competitors.
