Consistency, clutch rides and a late-season surge deliver Triumph’s first ever US indoor off-road racing crown
Jonny Walker has wrapped up the 2025 AMA EnduroCross Championship, giving Triumph Factory Racing its first title in the series and closing out a season built on consistency and well-timed peak performances aboard the TF 450-E.
The season started on a high at round one, where Walker immediately established himself as a contender by taking the overall win. Momentum carried into the second round where Jonny claimed second place, keeping him firmly in the title fight as the series unfolded. At round three in Idaho Falls, the Brit once again finished as runner-up, showcasing the speed and precision that would come to define the second half of his campaign.
The fourth round of the season in Redmond marked a turning point. Despite intense pressure and fierce battles on a demanding track, Walker delivered one of his most determined rides of the year to secure another runner-up result, keeping himself well within reach of the series lead with only two rounds remaining.
Round five in Reno saw Jonny return to his absolute best. Dominating the night with a clean sweep, he took victory in all three motos to reduce his gap to the series leader to just three points. It was a defining moment for the team and a clear demonstration of the bike’s capability in one of the world’s most demanding indoor off-road environments.
The finale in Everett delivered high drama as the season reached its climax. Walker maintained composure through a tense night of racing, navigating a technical track and managing the championship pressure with precision to achieve a 1-1-2 scorecard. Taking the overall victory, Jonny delivered a performance strong enough to secure the 2025 AMA EnduroCross Championship, both his and Triumph’s first, to cap off a historic season for both rider and manufacturer.
The achievement marks a significant milestone for Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team, arriving less than a year after the TF 450-E made its competitive debut. Next up for Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team is the opening round of the 2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship, held in Gliwice, Poland, on 13 December.
Jonny Walker:
“We’ve just finished up here in Everett to take the championship win! I managed to go 1-1-2 tonight on a super tough track, even after some mistakes which put me on the back foot to start off with. I won the first race despite starting on the second row which gave me the confidence to take the win in the second race, too. I knew I only had to finish second in the final moto to secure the championship, and I would have liked to have won of course, but I broke my gear lever off which made things tougher. I’m really stoked on how the championship has unfolded – finishing first or second at every round – so it feels great to have the title under my belt now. I can’t wait to go head-first into SuperEnduro in a few weeks’ time!”
Paul Edmondson, Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team Manager:
“Getting race wins is great, but delivering Triumph’s first championship in indoor enduro is very special. I can’t thank everyone at the Triumph factory, and all of our partners enough for the support and hard work that’s gone into the programme, as well as our colleagues over in the US – it really has been an amazing season. Jonny has ridden incredibly well to deliver when it really mattered, and it’s been exciting to see it come down to the wire. I’m very proud of what has been achieved – it’s a very special day for everyone involved with Triumph Factory Racing, and we’re going to enjoy this moment!”
