Triumph Thruxton Rs
The Triumph Thruxton RS was introduced in 2020 as the pinnacle of the modern Thruxton lineup, building on the water-cooled 1200cc Bonneville platform relaunched in 2016. It replaced the Thruxton R as the top-spec café racer variant, featuring premium Öhlins suspension, Brembo brakes, and a more aggressive state of tune. It is widely regarded as one of the finest modern café racers available, blending classic 1960s British styling with contemporary performance and technology.

What Buyers Should Know
Strong Resale Value
The Thruxton RS holds its value exceptionally well compared to competitors, often retaining 70-80% of its purchase price after two years due to limited production numbers and high demand from collectors.
Watch the Exhaust Headers
Early models are known for exhaust header discoloration and minor heat shield issues — inspect these carefully on used bikes, as replacements can be costly and are a common cosmetic complaint among owners.
Class-Leading Tech Package
The RS comes standard with Brembo M50 monobloc calipers, Öhlins suspension front and rear, and five riding modes — premium components typically found only on superbikes costing significantly more.
