The wait is over! Triumph have released this video of their motocross bikes in action with Ricky Carmichael and Evan Ferry giving their thoughts.
Triumph Motorcycles has released the last in its series of films, ‘Vision to Reality’, in which Ricky Carmichael performs the final test of Triumph’s new 250cc motocross bike. The Triumph motocross bike is running black plastics and looks to draw on design elements from both Japanese and Austrian manufacturers.
Ricky is joined by amateur motocross sensation, Evan Ferry, who has been involved in the testing programme of the new bike, alongside numerous professional riders, as it reached the final stage of development.
In the latest film, Ricky Carmichael said: “The chassis is really good, it’s super nimble, it’s plush. When you see a line, boom, you can do it.”
Evan Ferry added: “They found something special with the frame. I don’t think I’ve ever felt something like that.”
The films have been released by Triumph in the run-up to the reveal of the new 250cc bike, and go behind the scenes to meet the team, share details of the all-new aluminium chassis and engine and witness the final test.
The full reveal date is yet to be announced. But we do know they plan on lining up for racing in 2024 and are apparently already in negotiations with some riders. Triumph Motorcycles have said they will enter the SuperMotocross World Championship at the start of the 2024 season, with the single-minded ambition and commitment to develop a championship winning team.
Triumph consulted Global Off-Road Ambassador Ricky Carmichael to achieve the vision. With the input from the greatest Supercross and Motocross racer of all time, Triumph has assembled a veteran team of managers with championship winning experience to helm the all-new United States based Triumph factory race team. The US motocross program, operating under the all-new global Triumph Racing banner, will be led by Team Principal Bobby Hewitt and Team Manager Stephen ‘Scuba’ Westfall. The team will be located at a dedicated new state-of-the-art private race facility in the USA.
The new Triumph Racing Factory Team will 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.
