THRUXTON TFC
Headlining the Triumph Factory Custom
range is the limited edition Thruxton TFC.
Like all future Triumph TFC models will be,
the Thruxton TFC is limited to just 750 units
worldwide, with the bike itself adding more
power to a stripped back, lightweight pack-
age to make a machine worthy of the Factory
Custom name.
Triumph claims that because the Thrux-
ton TFC is limited to just those 750 bikes, it
makes for the most desirable bike in their
extensive modern classic lineup. We’d have
to agree just looking at it!
Starting with the engine, Triumph has
tweaked the 1200cc High Power parallel twin
of the Thruxton R to give the TFC 10hp more
than its predecessor.
Much like the Thruxton R, the Thruxton TFC
comes out of the crate with fully adjustable
Öhlins suspension, but that is pretty much
where the similarities in spec end. Giving
the TFC a bit of bling is a Brembo radial
master cylinder and adjustable brake lever,
race-specification Metzeler Racetec RR tyres
and a Titanium Vance & Hines exhaust sys-
tem with carbon fibre end caps.
Then we get to the real party piece - the
Thruxton TFC’s carbon fibre bodywork. From
the bikini fairing to the rear seat cowling,
the Thruxton TFC is loaded with tiny touches
amongst the swathes of carbon fibre.
In a very classy touch, each Thruxton TFC
owner will also receive a special tailor-made
TFC handover pack unique to their bike, fea-
turing a numbered letter signed by Triumph’s
CEO Nick Bloor, a personalised custom build
book, and – to keep their bike dust free – a
beautiful Thruxton TFC bike cover.
No word yet from Triumph New Zealand
on how many, if any, Thruxton TFCs will be
making their way here, but we’ll keep you up
to date as soon as we get word.
