The Triumph dirtbike is almost here!
UK brand teases the new machine at MXoN
Although known as a road brand, Triumph has been teasing the offroad industry with plans to jump into the offroad and motocross racing segments. Racing legend Ricky Carmichael was brought on board to help develop the new machine. Triumph announced last week at the 2022 Motocross of Nations that it is almost ready to go MX racing. In a press release, the British company announced that it will compete in the FIM MX2 class in 2024 with a new 250cc motocross bike. A 450 will follow in 2025. We hope to see racing in the USA soon after.
Ricky Carmichael – Global Off-Road Ambassador, Triumph:
“I’m really excited about today’s news. It’s been a long time coming. Since the start of this project with Triumph, I have been amazed at just how hard everyone has been working. It must not go without mentioning, the whole R&D and engineering group that have been a part of the development of the motorcycles have done an absolutely incredible job. From the first stages of the prototypes, I was really taken back at how well the performance was, since then, being in the UK testing the newest developments, I can tell you that it has the capabilities of winning at the highest level and I personally believe the riders, from professional to amateur, across the entire range of off-road models, will really like what has been developed!”
