Coming to the changes, the 2019 Thruxton R gets carbon-fibre bodywork which has been employed on the front mudguard, its Monza style fairing, tank, side panels and the rear seat cowl. The extensive use of the lightweight material should help the bike shed weight compared to the current model. In addition to the weight saving, the all-new exhaust system from Vance & Hines suggests a bump in power along with a deeper and probably louder exhaust note too. The 1200cc, parallel-twin motor will most likely be retuned to work in tandem with the exhausts.
