Triumph Thruxton RS 2021

Triumph Thruxton RS 2021

The Thruxton RS is authentically modelled on the café racers of the sixties - dreamy looks from nostalgics are guaranteed. In the saddle, however, it feels anything but retro. High-quality chassis, high-performance brakes, noble looks and a high level of agility make a sporty after-work ride a pleasure, both aesthetically and in terms of riding dynamics.
