Hand in hand with the announcement of plans to celebrate next year’s 120th
anniversary of the most iconic British motorcycle brand in the world, Triumph unveils

the landmark millionth Hinckley Triumph produced.

The Millionth Triumph of The Modern Era
Triumph has reached a historic milestone in its modern era with the reveal of the millionth
motorcycle built since the brand’s return in 1990. Unveiled at Triumph’s Global
Headquarters in Hinckley by Nick Bloor, CEO, in front of the UK team, the millionth Triumph

Launched in 2019 the Tiger 900 Rally Pro provides a perfect demonstration of Triumph’s
world leading design, engineering and production capability, courtesy of its class defining
character, capability, quality and attention to detail – attributes shared by all of Triumph’s
modern line-up
With its sophisticated custom Silver paint scheme and one millionth graphics this very
special milestone motorcycle will be displayed on Triumph’s stand at this year’s Motorcycle
Live show at the NEC and then on show in Triumph’s Factory Visitor Experience* in a new,
specially created 120-year anniversary display.
‘’Everyone at Triumph is incredibly proud to have played a part in achieving such a
momentous moment in the modern history of this iconic brand. Over the 31 years since we
re-launched Triumph with a new line of British designed motorcycles in Cologne in 1990, we
have shared so many great moments with our fans across the world. From returning to the
TT champions arena, to entering the MotoGP paddock with our Moto2 Engine partnership to
supporting the biggest global riding event and its great cause for health and wellbeing with
the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, to mention only a few. Triumph’s success has always
stemmed from the passion and commitment we share with our riders.’’
‘’Whilst the last year has been challenging for all of us, this passion and commitment has
driven Triumph to even greater heights, including the successful entry into new categories
with the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660.”
“Over the last three decades Triumph has maintained sustained and significant investment in
our people, our partners and our in-house design, engineering and manufacturing
capabilities, in order to grow the reach and reputation of this iconic British brand. This
investment in home grown talent, both in the UK and around the world, matched by the
passion we share with our riders for delivering the complete and perfect

motorcycle, has

seen the brand go from strength to strength, achieving the most successful year in the
brand’s entire 120-year history.’’

‘’Furthermore, we are committed to taking the brand to even greater heights, and with the
forthcoming launch of our brand new Tiger 1200, new competition MX and Enduro
motorcycles, plus our strategic partnership with Bajaj to create smaller capacity bikes, I am
delighted to say that the future for Triumph and its fans across the world will be just as
exciting and rich as the last 30 years has been,’’ Nick Bloor Triumph CEO.

Celebrating 120 Years of the Most Successful British Motorcycle Brand
Encompassing millions of passionate fans who share the same obsession for motorcycling
Triumph announce their plans to celebrate in 2022 the landmark 120-year anniversary of this
iconic British motorcycle brand.
The very first production Triumph motorcycle went on sale to the public in April 1902, starting
one of the world’s richest and most exciting brand stories; a story that has gone on to
encompass countless legendary motorcycles, and playing a significant role in shaping the
motorcycle world we enjoy today.
Triumph’s modern era began in 1990 with a completely original range of motorcycles
designed and built in a brand new, state-of-the-art factory at Hinckley.
In the three decades since, Triumph has built and sold more motorcycles than at any
previous time in its history through an international network of more than 700 dealers in 57
countries.
And despite recent challenges, the passion for Triumph shared around the world by owners,
riders, fans and dealers has made the last 12 months the most successful ever, with more
than 75,000 bikes registered globally and a turnover of £650 million.
Triumph represents the very pinnacle of Great British design and engineering, with a line-up
of world-beating bikes spanning multiple genres from adventure to roadsters to modern
classics, each delivering Triumph’s renowned reputation for class-leading handling, finish
and detailing and original, authentic design.
Today Triumph operates across five manufacturing facilities, all managed and led by the
global headquarters in Hinckley, Leicestershire, where every Triumph is conceived,
prototyped and tested in Triumph’s centre of design excellence by our in-house team. The
most recent addition to Hinckley’s impressive infrastructure is an all-new UK assembly plant,
built to enhance Triumph’s global manufacturing flexibility and complement

the existing
multi-million-pound paint shop and rapid prototyping facilities.

A truly global operation Triumph has 13 sales and marketing offices around the world,
manufacturing and production facilities located in Thailand, where the company has its own
casting, injection-moulding, machining and assembly facilities, and plants in India and Brazil,
which assemble bikes destined for local markets.
Triumph’s Factory Visitor Experience* at Hinckley, opened in 2018, invites visitors to get a
taste of Triumph’s manufacturing expertise as well as showcasing the most important
collection of motorcycles from the iconic British firm’s past and present.
From January 2022 Triumph will invite fans from all over the world to join the factory in
celebrating the pure spirit of motorcycling, in a series of stories, meet-ups and special events
throughout the year. Keep an eye out for more details to come in the new year.
