New Triumph Speed Twin and Thruxton TFC to Make UK Debut at London Motorcycle Show

The new Triumph Motorcycles Speed Twin and Thruxton TFC will be making their UK public debut at this year’s London Motorcycle Show.

Following its global reveal earlier this month, the Thruxton TFC will line up alongside the new Speed Twin and the full MY19 range on the Triumph stand at ExCel London from 15-17 February.

Triumph’s Thruxton TFC is the first in the line-up of Triumph Factory Custom offerings and is 10PS more powerful than the Thruxton R, lighter, fitted with even higher specification components and limited to only 750 units worldwide. Representing the absolute pinnacle of Triumph’s design, engineering and craftsmanship, each is invidually numbered and never to be repeated.

Delivering advanced rider technology and cutting edge roadster performance, the new Speed Twin offers a whole new standard in dynamic riding capability with an enhanced chassis setup, top tier Brembo brakes, high specification suspension and hair-raising power delivery.

For off-road fans, the Adventure Riding Experience Team will be on the Triumph stand all weekend offering riders the chance to take on an unforgettable riding experience at the Triumph Adventure Centre at the foot of the Brecon Beacons in South Wales. Also on the stand is Globebusters offering global motorcycle expeditions and tours. Visitors can also get a live quote for financing and insuring a Triumph motorcycle by speaking to one of the reps on the Triumph stand.

Featuring at this year’s show is the Michelin “Thunderdrome” live action show, a race inspired by boardtrack racers of the 1900s run on a 45-degree banked oval. Iconic riders Wayne Gardner and Neil Hodgson will battle it out on track against BSB riders from past and present.

Paul Lilly, General Manager at Triumph Motorcycles UK & Ireland, said: “The MCN London Motorcycle Show is a great opportunity for riders to get up close to the new Speed Twin and our first ever TFC model, both which have been met with great fanfare. It’s a great event to be part of and we’re excited to showcase the new Triumph range to the UK public.”

Adult tickets start at £18 if booked online with discounted rates available for students and senior citizens. Children 15 and under can attend for free.

NEW TRIUMPH FACTORY CUSTOM OFFER

The launch of the Triumph Factory Custom Offer reflects Triumph’s unparalleled impact on the custom scene, which springs from a unique passion and expertise that lives within Triumph. This is a passion that has been demonstrated many times over with a host of unique motorcycles created within a dedicated factory design workshop. From individual custom ambassador bikes, to movie bikes and multiple racing bikes, from off road to track and drag-racing bikes, all built to ride, and many to race, each showcases the world class talent in design and hand crafted custom art of the Triumph factory custom team.

With the genesis of the TFC offer coming from the 2014 Triumph TFC Bobber and TFC Scrambler, the launch of the very first TFC model available to riders worldwide signals the beginning of a new truly special offer with the most beautiful, exclusive and desirable Triumphs ever made, with more TFC models to come.

Each of the numbered ultra-premium custom limited editions to come will feature a higher specification of technology and equipment, better performance and a crafted custom design with class-leading detailing and finish.

THRUXTON TFC THE NEW DEFINITIVE SPORTS CLASSIC Rare. Beautiful. Special.

With even more style, power and performance the incredible new Thruxton TFC raises the bar to become the definitive sports classic and the new pinnacle in the legendary Thruxton line-up.

Rare, beautiful and truly special, this incredible first production TFC model celebrates the best of British engineering, detailing and finish with this ultra-rare never-to-be-repeated version that delivers more in every dimension. 

Ultra-Limited Edition With only 750 ever being sold worldwide, the Thruxton TFC will be Triumph’s most exclusive and desirable Modern Classic. Featuring premium TFC badging and instrument faces with gold detailing, and a beautiful individually-numbered plaque on the top yoke, each one will be completely unique and never to be repeated.

Every Thruxton TFC owner will also receive a special tailor-made TFC handover pack unique to their bike, featuring a numbered letter signed by Triumph’s CEO Nick Bloor, a personalised custom build book, and a beautiful Thruxton TFC bike cover.

Premium Custom Finish and Detailing Visually striking, the new Thruxton TFC features unique beautifully engineered lightweight carbon fibre bodywork, including a stunning one-piece carbon cockpit fairing, front mudguard, seat cowl, heel guards and silencer end caps. Additional exquisite detailing includes billet machined aluminium top yoke with TFC branding, premium brushed nickel mirror centres, tinted screen, beautiful real leather seat with stitched detailing, and billet machined aluminium oil filler cap.

All of this comes on top of a whole host of beautiful blacked out features, including premium black anodised multi-spoked wheels, black Öhlins RSU springs with black decals, black engine covers and a black tail tidy. To perfectly complement the black theme and real carbon fibre, the Thruxton TFC is available in one signature paint scheme – a distinctive Carbon Black, with brushed tank knee pad detailing, and hand painted gold lining.  And that premium gold detailing is applied across the whole motorcycle, from the gold lining on the fairing, to the gold detailing in the badging and instrument faces, unique key with gold detailing, and even a stylish custom gold chain.

The Thruxton TFC also retains all of the distinctive core Thruxton features, such as the brushed flip-top Monza fuel cap, twin throttle bodies with brushed intake finisher, Daytona R foot pegs and clear anodised aluminium swing arm.

More Power and torque from a Significant Engine Upgrade The new Thruxton TFC achieves an incredible 10PS more power than the standard Thruxton R. This is delivered by significant engine upgrades including a whole host of lighter weight engine components, high compression pistons, and revised ports and cam profile. Along with the higher power, the Thruxton TFC also delivers an incredible high torque punch low down and across the entire rev range, peaking at 115Nm.

There is also a premium one-of-a-kind exhaust system just for the Thruxton TFC, with Vance & Hines titanium silencers and carbon fibre end caps, with a unique laser etched co-branded logo.

Category Leading Specification Significant weight savings across the entire motorcycle make the Thruxton TFC five kilograms lighter than the Thruxton R for an even more dynamic and agile ride – delivered by engine component refinements, carbon fibre bodywork, aluminium engine cradle rails, rear mudguard removal, and a lighter weight battery.

In addition to the weight saving, the Thruxton TFC also has a category leading higher level of specification and equipment, with fully adjustable Öhlins upside down NIX30 front forks and fully adjustable Öhlins piggy back reservoir rear shocks with billet machined aluminium adjusters.

There are also high specification Brembo 4-piston M4.34 radial monobloc calipers and twin floating Brembo front discs, delivering excellent stopping power, and unique race specification Metzeler Racetec RR super sticky tyres. The premium specification continues with a Brembo radial master cylinder and MCS span and ratio adjustable brake lever plus matching clutch lever.

Highest Ever Level of Capability Increasing the level of rider-focused technology are three upgraded riding modes unique to the  Thruxton TFC (Rain, Road and Sport), which now adjust throttle map, ABS and traction control settings to better suit the riding conditions or rider preference. This is enabled via the latest generation ride by wire, which delivers enhanced rideability, safety and control.

For enhanced visibility, lower energy consumption and greater durability, the Thruxton TFC features all-LED lighting, including 7 inch headlight with signature profile daytime running light (market specific availability), compact LED indicators, tail light and rear light.

ABS and traction control are also fitted for maximum safety and control, both implemented with minimal visual impact – compact, responsive and unobtrusive. Optimised to reduce lever effort for the rider, the torque-assist clutch makes the bike even more comfortable over long journeys and in stop-start riding, while the USB charging socket improves convenience. An engine immobiliser is also fitted as standard on the Thruxton TFC, with a transponder incorporated into the new high-value gold badged key.

‘CONCEPT’ ROCKET TFC THE ULTIMATE MOTORCYCLE British engineering masterpiece

The Rocket TFC concept showcases the next stunning TFC model to come, and will be launched on 1st May 2019 with full details and specifications.

Triumph’s legendary Rocket III, launched in 2004, was renowned as a pure original, taking the world by storm with more muscle, presence and power than any of the competition. Now, 15 years on, an ultra-rare, ultra-premium Triumph Factory Custom Rocket is planned.

The new Rocket TFC will be nothing short of the ultimate motorcycle, with world-beating performance, cutting edge technology, muscular presence and unique engineering innovations.
