Purpose	Built for stylish weekend rides and short spirited backroad blasts rather than outright speed or long-distance hauling.
Rider Fit	A moderate seat height and forward-leaning café-style riding position demand reasonable flexibility and comfort with wrist load at low speeds.
Character	A retro-styled parallel-twin with punchy low-to-mid range torque, air-cooled character, and nimble, engaging handling.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for riders seeking modern touring comfort, high-speed performance, or any off-road capability.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Triumph Thruxton, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
