In a new bit of business, Triumph’s decided to take a spot on the dirt track of the 2024 FIM Motocross World Championships – and apparently, the spankin’ new bike range they’ve got for the occasion will be out sometime between now and their first round of whoops.
With Triumph global off-road ambassador Ricky Carmichael fully integrated into the budding MX plans, we have an in on how the new motocross range – projected to be a series of 250cc and 450cc machines – have done in testing.
“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,” Carmichael assures in a report from RideApart.
“What Triumph has said so far is that the two bikes prepared for competition in the MX2 class will be all-new, four-stroke, 250cc machines. After kicking things off in MX2, Triumph’s current roadmap involves a single 450cc entry into the premiere MXGP class starting in 2025,” adds the report.
In short, Triumph’s keen on biting into gold for 2024 – and we’re just as keen to get a gander at the bikes projected to leave Triumph’s lab for the occasion.
All the best on gunning for the “pinnacle of racing across an even wider range of disciplines,” Triumph!
