The Black Mamba, Tamarit’s latest creation based on the soon-to-be-discontinued Triumph Thruxton RS, starts at €27,400 ($29,775). This cafe racer comes with the donor bike, a four-year factory warranty, and Euro 5 compliance.
The Black Mamba offers extensive customization options beyond mere aesthetics, with the fuel tank being the only original factory part retained. All other bodywork is either custom-made or sourced from Tamarit’s aftermarket catalog.
Noteworthy features include a striking front fairing with a cafe racer design, a tinted windshield, and custom mounting hardware. The front lighting consists of a low-mounted round headlamp paired with an additional LED strip above.
A downsized fender and a stylish belly pan complete the front end. The tail unit features oval sections for personalized numbers and a solo leather seat with unique stitching. Also included are a custom license plate holder with LED lighting and a discreet inner fender. Tamarit’s signature chain guard adds a distinctive touch.
The Thruxton RS’s high-grade suspension and premium braking system remain unchanged, featuring adjustable 43 mm Showa forks and Ohlins shock absorbers, with Brembo calipers at the front and a Nissin caliper at the rear. The cockpit features Motogadget turn signals and bar-end mirrors.
Performance upgrades include nine extra horsepower from aftermarket pod filters and a new stainless-steel exhaust. The bike now weighs 175 kg (386 lbs), down from the original 197 kg (434 lbs), enabling a 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) time of three seconds. The Black Mamba is finished in a striking black and gold color scheme, though future clients can likely choose other options.
