The Triumph Thruxton Ace was unveiled at the Ace Cafe by Managing Director Mark Wilsmore.

The Thruxton Ace features a unique black and white paintjob, ‘Oxblood’ custom seat, bar-end mirrors, a handlebar plaque and officially sanctioned Ace Café logos on the side panels, tank and tail section.

The special edition Ace features the same engine as the standard Triumph Thruxton – the 865cc parallel twin engine producing peak power of 69PS and 69Nm of torque across a broad rev range.

Triumph is also providing a number of accessories for the Thruxton Ace including Arrow exhausts, alternative seats and a range of chrome parts.

The new model is expected to arrive in UK dealerships by December when prices will be revealed. Only 100 bikes will be available for UK customers.

The Ace Café in London is a historic venue in motorcycle culture which originally operated from 1938 till 1969. In 1949, the café was rebuilt after being destroyed in a WWII air raid. During the 40s , 50s and 60s, the café became a meeting ground for young motorcyclists of the era. It was closed in 1969 and again reopened in 1997 after being rebuilt.
