We had earlier mentioned that despite its plan to showcase three bikes on Day 2 of Auto Expo 2016, Vimal Sumbly, MD Triumph Motorcycles, India, had to make do with just two offerings -- the Bonneville Street Twin and T120 -- as the third installment was stuck at the Delhi airport customs.
Sumbly had then asked the media to be patient and well, the Truxton did make its presence felt when it finally arrived from the customs and was all worth waiting.
Although the company did not disclose its price, they announced the motorcycle will be ready for delivery in July 2016.
The Thruxton comes with a 1200cc powerful engine and will be avaialble in two colours: Silver Ice and Diablo Red.
