The Thruxton 1200 stands out from the mass

Olivier fell in love with the Thruxton 1200 as soon as it was revealed by Triumph Motorcycles. However, there was no way he would ride the same bike as everyone, so he entrusted our workshop to transform it before he makes his first ride.

When we first me Olivier to define his project’s guidelines, he mainly told us about the technical aspects. He wanted to give up with the cafe racer style riding position to make his bike easier to handle, more comfortable and multipurpose. Finally, that’s the aesthetic result he enjoyed the most when he discovered the finished project. At high speed, the Thruxton is perfect, but downtown it’s not easy to deal with it. With an high position handlebars, shorter shock absorbers, fork triple trees and aluminium clamps in machined aluminium, his riding feeling is radically transformed.

On the design side, we focused on respecting the stock lines while improving the finish level of the bike. Some leather touches, brushed metal and black painting lead us to an harmonious result that give another dimension to that Thruxton 1200.
