Triumph opens a new chapter in its rich history with the announcement of its intention to launch a full line of motocross and enduro motorcycles, which will include dual sport machines. The British company also plans to race, with a full factory-backed program committed to competing at the highest levels of motocross and enduro championships.
To help with this effort, the Hinckley-based manufacturer is bringing in two of the biggest names in off-road racing who will spearhead the project: motocross legend Ricky Carmichael and five-time world enduro champion Iván. Cervantes. The two former champions will be involved in all aspects of the development and testing of the new models, as well as in the preparation of the new racing program.

I can’t wait to see the reactions when these models hit the dealership showrooms.
It will certainly be one of the iconic British brand’s most ambitious initiatives since its return from bankruptcy in the early 90s.

We can’t wait to see what Triumph says is a âfull lineâ of off-road motorcycles, with Dual Sport machines also in the mix. We will probably see off-road models appear first, which will serve as the basis for the Dual Sport versions. Less stringent regulations will help speed the market for these dirt-only machines.
Only time will tell how well Britain’s offerings match up with other European high-performance doubles sports from KTM, Beta and Husqvarna. But if Triumph’s track record in the Adventure segment is any indication, we can expect a high-quality machine ready to compete with the best in the class.
