2010 Triumph Thruxton Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Triumph for the classic motorcycle segment, the 2010 Triumph Thruxton relies on a 865 cc (52.8 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 69 HP (50.4 kW) at 7,400 rpm while maximum torque reaches 70 Nm (51.6 lb-ft) at 5,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 79.8 HP per liter and a 1,600 rpm working window between peak torque (5,800 rpm) and peak power (7,400 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Thruxton measures 230 kg (507 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.3 HP/kg (3.33 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.

Within MotoLibrary's Triumph archive, this model family spans 10 indexed model years from 2007 to 2016, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
