finally show the fans what we’ve been working on for the past 4 years. The bike 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 absolute honor 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.”

The Triumph Bonneville, famously named to celebrate Triumph’s 1956 land speed record
on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA, was the original British superbike and a race-
winner straight out of the crate, chosen by famous motorcyclists of the past for its
legendary handling, style, and character. Recently updated with even more performance,
capability and style, it’s that handling, character and iconic looks, married to modern rider-
focused technology that makes the new Bonneville family THE authentic modern classic

Triumph has a glorious racing history, competing in and winning races in almost every
class and field of motorcycle sporting achievement. From winning the second ever Isle of
Man TT in 1908, through to 1960s road and track domination in Europe and America,
right up to contemporary racing achievements with the Triumph triple powered 2014 and
2015 Supersports titles and World SuperSport racing, Isle of Man Supersports TT wins in
2014 and 2019, courtesy of Gary Johnson and Peter Hickman, plus an average speed of

Triumph’s racing legend continues as the exclusive engine supplier to the FIM Moto2™
World Championship since the start of the 2019 season. Triumph Motorcycles provides
all the teams with race-tuned 765cc triples, each of which is based on the class-leading
Street Triple RS powerplant. Redefining the class, Triumph broke record after record in
the inaugural year, including the first ever +300km/h Moto2™ top speed. Reflecting these
great successes, the wonderful feedback and partnerships that Triumph have had with
the riders and their teams, and the incredible response from Triumph fans across the
world, Triumph and Dorna, decided to extend the relationship in 2021 and again in 2023,
signing a new contract for another five years of racing: 2025 – 2029. The 765 Triumph
Triple has so far achieved 73 race and outright lap records, enabled 21 different riders to
win a Moto2™ race, with 8 different winners in 2022 alone. A 300km/h top speed has
been reached at least once in each season, with the bar being moved even higher during
practice at the 2023 Italian Grand Prix, when both Celestino Vietti and Darryn Binder
recorded the highest ever top speed in Moto2™ of 301.6 km/h. Triumph 765cc triples
have raced more than one million kms, proving the engine’s outstanding performance and
reliability.

as well as a new factory racing effort, with a commitment to top tier championship racing
in both Motocross and Enduro series.

most experienced and successful team owners, who will field two of Triumph’s all-new
250cc 4-stroke MX bikes in the 2024 MX2 class and will add an entry into the 450cc
MXGP class in 2025, and with Team Principal Bobby Hewitt and Team Manager Stephen
‘Scuba’ Westfall to field its all-new Triumph 250cc 4-stroke MX bikes in the 2024
SuperMotocross World Championship, which is comprised of the Monster Energy
Supercross World Championship, and the Pro Motocross Championship, with three
season-ending SuperMotocross rounds. For the 2025 season Triumph will additionally
field its new 450cc bike in the SuperMotocross World Championship.
