MEET THE KCX TRIUMPH THRUXTON RS – A CUSTOM MASTERPIECE
Meet the KCX Triumph Thruxton RS:
A Custom Masterpiece for Stuntman Wade Eastwood
In the world of custom motorcycles, few projects stand out quite like the stunning KCX Triumph Thruxton RS, a unique creation by our long-term partner Kieran Clarke and KCX Motorcycles. Built as a tribute to the incredible 10-year working relationship between Clarke and stuntman Wade Eastwood, this motorcycle is a testament to craftsmanship, collaboration, and the art of customization.
A Decade of Collaboration
Kieran Clarke, a former British Motocross Champion turned stunt performer and vehicle specialist, teamed up with Wade Eastwood to create this one-of-a-kind motorcycle. The Thruxton RS celebrates their work together across the "Mission: Impossible" franchise (films 5, 6, 7 & 8) and racing hero inspiration from Ayrton Senna. With the 'Mission fuse' and the Eastwood Action Stunt Team logo adorning each side of the tank, this bike carries unique design elements that echo their shared journey in film and racing.
At Pro-Bolt, we're proud to have played a role in this masterpiece. Our top-end titanium race-spec fasteners are holding this incredible machine together, ensuring unmatched strength, lightweight performance, and the quality needed for a project of this caliber. Here’s why our titanium fasteners were the perfect choice for this build:
- Lightweight Performance: Our titanium fasteners significantly reduce weight, which is crucial for high-performance motorcycles like the Thruxton RS.
- Strength & Durability: Titanium is exceptionally strong and resilient, ensuring that the bike can handle the demands of high-speed riding and stunt work.

- Aesthetic Appeal: Available in a polished or anodized finish, our fasteners not only add strength but also enhance the bike's overall appearance, fitting perfectly with the Thruxton’s sleek and custom look.
