23RD SEP 2023

Triumph’s new 250cc motocross bike was revealed in public for the first time, at the SuperMotocross World Championship Final on Saturday 23 September, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in California. 

Spectators witnessed two new Triumph motocross bikes enter the arena to a blaze of pyrotechnics and fanfare. 

The hotly anticipated new production-specification bike was ridden by Jeff ‘Six-Time’ Stanton, who won his last Championship at the Coliseum and manages Triumph’s Adventure Experience in the Michigan. Stanton was joined by the GOAT, Ricky Carmichael, whose bike featured his own graphics and non-standard specification components. 

The date for the full reveal of the new bike was announced as 28 November 2023 on giant screens around the stadium.  

In addition, Triumph has launched its new Triumph Racing website and social channels. Follow the action @OfficialTriumphRacing on Instagram and Facebook.

Talking to his fellow commentators after his ride, Ricky Carmichael said: “I’m so happy to finally show the fans what we’ve been working on for the past 4 years. The bikes feels great, it looks great, and it’s fast. I’m really pleased with what we’ve delivered and I can’t wait until we can share the final details on November 28th.”

Jeff Stanton added: “The Coliseum is a special place for me, and to be back here on the Triumph is an absolutely honour for me. The new graphics look like nothing else in the paddock and give the bike a really sharp and distinctive new look that I think the fans are going to love.

We know just how competitive the series is, and that being at the sharp end of the field will be no easy task. But having a partner such as Monster Energy, who have built a long relationship over many years with Thierry and Vince, is a very proud moment for us, as is revealing our MX2 race bike. I’d like to thank Monster for their belief in our project and we look forward to a very exciting 2024, and beyond, with the Monster Energy Triumph Racing team.”

It’s been almost 10 years since we first partnered with Thierry, and we have enjoyed huge success together over the years. Along with Vince and the whole team at Triumph, we are ready to get behind the gate and launch into the 2024 FIM MX2 World Championship. We commend Triumph Racing and the entire team as this has not been an easy task, the sport is ultra-competitive, and the level of racing today is at an all-time high.
