https://www.totaltriumph.co.uk/news-&-events/rss https://www.totaltriumph.co.uk/news-&-events/triumph-factory-racing-completes-third-supercross-season Triumph Factory Racing has successfully completed its third season in AMA Supercross and its first with the TF 450-X. This weekend, Salt Lake City's Rice Eccles Stadium was the setting for the indoor finale, where a sell-out crowd of 51,444 enthusiasts embraced the action. Qualifying 15th, Jordon Smith was poised to sign off his maiden 450SX term in fine form. Unfortunately, a crash early in the main event caused his night to come to a premature end. '20' was running just outside of the top ten when a slight misstep in the whoops cost him dearly. Nonetheless, he was ranked 19th in the 450SX championship standings despite missing six races this season. Poor luck halted the momentum that Gage Linville built in his first race aboard the TF 250-X. Linville missed a transfer position in his heat race by just four places yet was well positioned to conquer the last-chance qualifier. A tremendous start launched him at the head of the field, but he slid out in a freshly watered turn and remounted in dead last. Despite making 11 passes, he did not secure a spot in the main event. With the indoor portion of the SMX World Championship complete, Triumph Factory Racing now turns its attention to the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, where the first round of the motocross series will be held on 30 May at Fox Raceway in Southern California. Jordon Smith: "I had a great day, felt really good throughout practice and had a good heat race until I got together with another rider. Luckily, I came back and made it into the main. I was riding good in the main event and, unfortunately, had a really hard crash in the whoops. We will go home, rest up and prepare for the Pro Motocross season." Gage Linville: "I struggled today I did not quite have a flow until it was too late. We will learn from it and come out better next time. Now it's time to shift focus to Pro Motocross!" Steve Westfall Team Manager, Triumph Factory Racing: "Jordon performed well today, but he had a little bit of wheel spin and ended up crashing in the main event. He's okay, and will probably take a few days off, and then get ready for the outdoor series. Gage struggled all day prior to the last chance qualifier. Racing in the East/West Showdown was probably a little more difficult with not much of a season before it, but we'll be ready for outdoors in three weeks. It was not our most successful supercross season, but I feel that we learned a lot and will be able to come out swinging next year." 450SX Results: 2026 AMA Supercross, Round 17 Salt Lake City 1.

Practice and qualifying week was disrupted with mixed weather conditions at the 8.7-mile Triangle circuit, with Triumphs Dom Herbertson (KTS Triumph Factory Racing), Peter Hickman (TROOPER Triumph by PHR), Pierre Yves Bian (Swan Racing by PHR) and Barry Burrell (PHR Performance Triumph) not able to fully utilise the track time throughout the sessions. Thursdays practice and race schedule was changed due to an incident in the opening Superbike session, which saw the evenings races cancelled and replaced with final qualifying sessions for all classes. Due to the schedule change, Saturday's Tides Restaurant Supersport race was to be the only outing for the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS machines, where Herbertson, Bian and Burrell lined up for six laps of the fast roads circuit. On the opening lap of six, the race was red flagged and the riders returned to the paddock to await the restart. Absent from the grid was Hickman with his TROOPER Triumph, due to the five race rule, where he decided to sit out the Supersport race. The race was quickly restarted and the field set off for six laps, where after the first lap Herbertson was ninth, but it was Bian who made his way through from 35th and was 10th aboard his Street Triple 765, while Burrell was 18th. With each lap completed Herbertson and Bians Triumphs were holding their positions in the top ten, but on the penultimate lap the race was red flagged due to an incident and the results were declared with the leaders having completed four-full laps, which saw Herbertson eight and Bian ninth. Burrell, who had come through the pack from 56th, finished 16th after an impressive ride. Meanwhile in the Sportbike class, the Triumph Daytona 660 also finished strong with Herbertson just outside the top ten in combined qualifying, sitting in 11th place heading into Saturdays two races. The first four-lap race kicked off the days racing on the North Coast where Herbertson crossed the line 12th aboard his Triumph machine and with a combined class with the Supertwins, the KTS Triumph was the first Sportbike machine to cross the line. The second Sportbike race saw Herbertson collect another tenth place and came home as the lead Sportbike machine once again, with the PHR Performance duo of Burrell and Bian 21st and 22nd respectively. Triumphs road racing teams will now turn their attention to the Isle of Man TT Races, which start with first practice on Monday 25 May. Dom Herbertson - KTS Macadam Triumph Factory Racing: Lots of positives after my first race of the year with the KTS Macadam Triumph Factory Racing team onboard both the 765 and Sportbike. The weather was against us in qualifying for the Supersport class and we were unable to complete a dry lap due to a few red flag situations, meaning we started the race from 38th position and worked our way back up to eighth position with a personal PB. The icing on the cake for me was that the KTS team crossed the line first in both races in the Sportbike class which sets us up nicely for the TT aboard the Daytona 660. The week has put us in a great place as a team to tackle the Isle of Man TT in both classes onboard the Triumphs and I cannot wait to get going! Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 BST https://www.totaltriumph.co.uk/news-&-events/linville-demonstrates-potential-in-triumph-debut Gage Linville excelled in a first competitive AMA Supercross outing with Triumph Factory Racing this weekend, racing to 11th place in 250SX West at the penultimate stop of 2026's season. Jordon Smith, continuing his progress in 450SX, secured 14th aboard his TF 450-X. Linville soared into the main with ease, making six passes to claim a transfer spot in his heat. The power in the TF 250-X proved useful in the feature race; he rounded turn one in seventh and started to pursue a top ten rank. '74' was set to achieve that but was slowed by a competitor and settled for 11th at the chequered flag as a result. Valuable momentum and data was garnered in what was his first Triumph-powered outing of the year. The 450SX main event was action packed, and Smith found himself in the middle of those battles. After dueling with former race winners on the cusp of the top ten for the duration, he eventually hit the finish line in 14th. Those valuable points helped him gain two positions in the premier class championship standings, lifting him to 18th overall. Triumph travel north to Salt Lake City's Rice Eccles Stadium for the 2026 AMA Supercross finale now. The race on May 9th will mark the conclusion of the British manufacturer's third season in indoor competition. Jordon Smith "It was a much better day today! The position was not what we wanted, but we were in the battle all day. I felt a lot more comfortable and the TF 450-X was ripping off of the gate in elevation. We can build off of this, so we'll keep pushing." Gage Linville "The day was pretty good. I rode pretty well in my heat race, then rode in seventh for a little bit of the main event. I slipped back but regrouped to claim eleventh. It was a solid start, but I definitely want more." Steve Westfall Team Manager, Triumph Factory Racing "We were happy to welcome Gage to the team this weekend, and he rode well! He was thrown into the wolves and performed. It was a shame to miss the top ten by one position, but he had a good start and we can push on from here. Jordon made strides this week with chassis set-up and that showed in practice he was a lot closer in times. He was up there in the main event, but this class is incredibly deep." 450SX Results: 2026 AMA Supercross, Round 16 DENVER 1. Hunter Lawrence (Honda) 2. Ken Roczen (Suzuki) 3. Eli Tomac (KTM) 4.

The young Frenchman secured a runner-up finish in Junior1 on Saturday before adding second in class and third overall in the Junior class on Sunday. Jeremy Sydow made a solid return to racing following injury with two top-six results in the Enduro1 category, while Jack Edmondson delivered another consistent performance across both days. Leo Joyon impressed again in the Junior ranks, showing both speed and consistency across the two days of racing. After placing seventh in Fridays Super Test, the young Frenchman improved as the day progressed on Saturday, recovering from a slow start to post a string of top-four test times and climb to fifth overall in the Junior class. In the highly competitive Junior1 class, he secured his third consecutive podium with a solid second-place finish. Carrying positive momentum into Sunday, Joyon raised his level once again, battling at the front throughout the day and setting a series of competitive times. He was rewarded with a third overall Junior class result and second in Junior1, completing a double podium to round out the weekend. Capping off his weekend in style, Joyon won the final cross test by four seconds, underlining both his pace and the capability of the TF 250-E. Jeremy Sydow made his return to racing in Spain after missing the opening round due to a training injury to his foot. Despite a crash in the Super Test that left him starting Saturday on the back foot, the German quickly found his rhythm and delivered an impressive ride. Jeremy posted top-five Enduro1 test times on more than half of the days special tests to finish fifth in class and as the fastest Triumph rider. On Sunday, Sydow faced a tougher challenge as he continued to manage the discomfort from his injury as he works to regain full race fitness. A handful of small mistakes prevented him from improving on his day one result, but he still secured a solid sixth-place finish in Enduro1, marking a positive return to competition. Jack Edmondson once again stepped in to support the team in the Enduro1 class and produced another consistent performance across the whole weekend. Starting strongly with fourth in class in the Super Test, the British rider took time to adapt to the demanding Spanish terrain on Saturday. Showing his potential with several standout moments, including setting the fastest time in the Enduro1 class on one lap on the Extreme Test, he finished the day 10th in class. Reducing mistakes and building confidence on Sunday, Jack improved to secure eighth place in Enduro1. Elsewhere, Triumph continued to show strong results across its supported teams, with Morgan Lesiardo of Triumph Italia Racing delivering a runner-up result in the Enduro1 class on Sunday and adding to the growing list of positive results for the TF 250-E. Following round two, Joyon holds third overall in the Junior standings and sits second in the Junior1 championship, opening a 14-point advantage over third place. Sydows return sees him move into 11th in the Enduro1 standings, while also scoring his first EnduroGP championship point to place inside the top 20 overall. Edmondson now sits ninth in the Enduro1 standings after two rounds. The 2026 FIM EnduroGP World Championship continues with round three at the GP of Finland in Vierumki on May 2224. Leo Joyon Day two here in Spain and it was a really long and demanding one. It was better than yesterday and I felt stronger overall, although I had a small crash this morning in the enduro test, which cost me some time. After that I pushed hard and finished third overall in Junior and second in class, which Im happy with, especially being close to the win. Its been a solid weekend, but I know I can do more, especially by starting the day stronger. Now we keep working and look ahead to the next round. Jeremy Sydow Today was a bit of a struggle for me. I didnt feel at my best physically from the start, but we knew coming into the weekend that it wouldnt be easy after the injury. Still, Im happy to be back racing, to get a full event completed and some valuable experience under my belt. Now we can build from here, keep working, and Im confident that by Finland in a few weeks we can take the next step and be closer to the podium again. Jack Edmondson A bit up and down overall for me today, but I managed to find some good speed on the second lap with a few top-five test times in class. The final lap was a struggle though I was really feeling the fatigue as it was a demanding race. That brings my fill-in ride to an end for now, so Id like to wish the team all the best for the rest of the season and hopefully see everyone again soon.

The inspiration for this collection was the iconic 1936 Triumph Heritage Logo. HISTORY OF THE TRIUMPH HERITAGE LOGO The Triumph logo has evolved alongside every major shift in motorcycle history. After the Second World War, motorcycles were far more than machines, they were everyday transport, the way people travelled and got to work. As the decades passed, motorcycles became less of a necessity and more of a passion. Today, the Triumph logo stands as a mark of authenticity, heritage, and legitimacy: a contemporary expression of the values forged in those early years. Its a symbol that honours Triumphs history and is instantly recognisable today. The Triumph Heritage logo first emerged in 1936, when Jack Sangster acquired the company and steered it away from car production to focus solely on motorcycles. As part of that shift, the logo was refreshed to modernise the brand and clearly distinguish it from its automotive past. The logo was created by draftsman Herbert Hopwood alongside Edward Turner- the General Manager and chief designer responsible for the 498cc Speed Twin - whose influence helped define Triumphs identity throughout the 1950s and 60s. The distinctive tail they added at the base of the logo added a sense of speed and movement, giving it a more contemporary, racinginspired feel.

The 15th round of 2026 AMA Supercross was made incredibly difficult by torrential rain and challenging conditions. Denno was untouchable in the SMX Next National Championship main event. The power within his TF 250-X launched him to the holeshot and, from there, he built an impressive lead in the six-lap race. Finding his form in the slick conditions, he posted the fastest lap time, one that was more than a second quicker than anyone else. With his victory in the final race of the SMX Next National series, Denno won the SMX Next Supercross AMA National Championship a testament to his potential and the Triumph Factory Racing amateur programme. The number one plate and championship medal was awarded to Deacon Denno on Peacock's live broadcast by Harv Whipple, the SMX Next Race Manager. In 450SX, Jordon Smith overcame the conditions to transfer into the main event straight from his heat race. The premier class rookie was down on lap one but persevered to claim 18th at the chequered flag. Privateer Luca Marsalisi steered his TF 250-X to 19th in the 250SX East main event, after a very impressive second place in his heat race. Two rounds remain in 2026 AMA Supercross, but Triumph will continue to strive for success in both 450SX and 250SX. Gage Linville, Triumph's newest recruit, will make his debut on the Triumph TF 250-X when gates drop in Denver's Empower Field at Mile High on May 02. Deacon Denno "Qualification gave me some momentum going into the main event, which got off to a great start. I carried that through to the chequered flag. I just rode some clean, smooth laps and knew if I just did that then I would bring it home. I am so pumped. To win the SMX Next Supercross AMA National Championship is just a dream come true." Jordon Smith "It was another frustrating day in Philadelphia. I believe we have made a lot of progress over the last month the team and I have both worked really hard. The results just don't show that. We need to put it together when it counts." Steve Westfall Team Manager, Triumph Factory Racing "The result does not show it. However, this is the best Jordon has ridden all season. Deacon had another killer race, it's really great to see and huge congratulations to him on being crowned the SMX Next Supercross AMA National Champion. Great team effort this weekend." Ian Kimber Head Of Global Racing Programmes, Triumph Motorcycles Deacons results in the SMX Next has shown what a capable rider he is, adapting to a new bike, team and some challenging conditions. Last nights race shows his raw talent but also his dedication to preparation. I cant wait to see him make the step to Supercross, the future is looking bright. 450SX Results: 2026 AMA Supercross, Round 15 Philadelphia 1. Ken Roczen (Suzuki) 2. Cooper Webb (Yamaha) 3.

Backed by consistent results across the night aboard the TF 450-E, Walker maintains second place in the championship after two rounds. Walker began the evening in confident fashion by topping the timed practice session, immediately setting the pace on Riesas technical indoor track, which once again featured the venues iconic bridge obstacle. In SuperPole, a small mistake cost the Brit valuable time and placed him fifth on the grid, but he was quick to make amends once racing began. Getting underway in race one with a strong start, Walker was lying second in the early stages before capitalising on a mistake from the leader to move into first. An intense battle followed, with bar-to-bar racing thrilling the packed arena. Despite leading for much of the moto, a late error allowed his rival back through, leaving Jonny to cross the line in second after a highly competitive opening race. Race two saw Jonny line up from the second row for the reverse-grid start, where a controlled and assertive opening lap allowed him to climb quickly into third. Applying pressure in the fight for second, Walker executed a decisive pass before turning his focus to closing down the race leader. Although unable to bridge the final gap, he secured another second-place finish, further strengthening his overall position for the night. In the final race of the evening, the TF 450-E rider did not get the cleanest start and found himself fighting from fifth in the early laps. Demonstrating his trademark determination, he worked his way forward into podium contention and spent much of the race battling for third. However, a mistake on the final lap dropped him back to fifth, bringing an end to an otherwise consistent and hard-fought race. With a 2-2-5 scorecard, Walker claimed second overall on the night and continues to lie second in the championship standings after two rounds of the 2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. The series now heads to Bilbao, Spain, for round three on January 17, where Walker and the Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team will look to maintain their strong momentum. Jonny Walker Im a bit surprised to come away with second place tonight, as I didnt feel at my best on the track and struggled at times. That said, Im happy with the result and the points. I had a big crash in the final race and hurt my arm slightly, but Im hopeful I can get some good training done this week and come back stronger for Bilbao. Mon, 12 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.totaltriumph.co.uk/news-&-events/triumph-reveals-new-scrambler-1200-line-up-for-2024 Updated Scrambler 1200 XE -For the road, for adventure touring, for extreme off-road fun - New Scrambler 1200 X -For the road and beyond, built to be more accessible.

The X variant features road biased MarzocchiTM45mm cartridge forks at the front and suspension units supporting at the rear. The rear suspension units come with piggy-back reservoirs and adjustable preload, allowing customers to fine tune their riding experience on the road and beyond. The XE has a more off-road focused setup, with optimised MarzocchiTM45mm forks and premium, twin spring MarzocchiTMsuspension units which are fully adjustable and havemore incrementality in adjustmentfor compression and rebound, giving even greater control. This optimised suspension provides a significant 250mm of wheel travel front and rear for unparalleled off-road capability and ground clearance. STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENT When it comes to braking, both models feature state of the art equipment for guaranteed efficiency across road and dirt. The XE boasts powerful latest generation BremboTMStylema radial Monoblock front callipers with twin 320mm floating discs, providing class-leading braking performance. While the front is taken care of, the rear is held down by a 255mm disk with a Nissin caliper, further maximising braking performance. The X model features twin 310mm floating front discs, with Nissin twin-piston axial callipers. Meanwhile, the rear is supported by a 255mm rear disc and a Nissin floating brake caliper, to deliver a confident braking performance on the road. The front brake lever position can also be adjusted to the riders preference on both models. FEATURING NEW AND IMPROVED RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY The Scrambler X and XE both feature optimised cornering ABS and optimised cornering traction control, regulating intervention to deliver and maintain optimum traction at any lean angle. Five rider modes are available for the Scrambler 1200 X, each with their own dedicated throttle response and specific ABS and traction control settings. Riders can choose from Sport, Road, Rain, Off-Road and Rider Configurable, while the XE also has Off-Road Pro to allow the experienced rider complete uninterrupted control for the most challenging off-road riding. Greater riding stability is achieved thanks to a high specification Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) which has been developed in conjunction with Continental. This system enables the optimisation of cornering ABS and Traction control, automatically selecting the correct setting by measuring roll, pitch, yaw, and acceleration rates to calculate lean angle. With particular focus on enhancing the overall riding experience, the X and XE are both equipped with a torque assist clutch. The Scrambler 1200 XE features integrated and customisable full colour TFT instruments. Two minimal and stylish information layout design themes are available, each with a further three options to change the level of information displayed.

THE ORIGINAL SCRAMBLERS & TODAYS SCRAMBLER SCENE The new Scrambler 1200 line-up can trace its roots directly back to the original Scrambler scene of the early 1950s, where Triumph played a pivotal role and set the template for what made a Scrambler great. Building the leading bikes of the day, stripped back with straight-through twin pipes fitted high or low slung and chopped off Triumphs were the original desert sleds. These inspired the worlds first production scramblers, with the Bonneville T-120TT and the TR6SC. In 2006, with the launch of the very first modern era Scrambler, Triumph again delivered the genesis of a new category. This triggered the world of Scramblers we see today and a whole new global fan base, from urban riders to movie stars, even featuring in the latest Bond film,No Time to Die. ON THE ROAD The Scrambler 1200 X will start from 11,895 OTR, and the Scrambler 1200 XE will start from 13,295 OTR. Orders can be placed now at Triumph dealers, with bikes arriving for retail from January 2024.

This initiative aims to raise awareness and demonstrate the value of advanced riding techniques. On attending a development course, you will be introduced to the Police system of motorcycle riding which will include cornering, reading the road, planning and hazard avoidance, overtaking and filtering. So far this year, feedback from all the days has been positive, which is excellent and the most common sentence we hear is I wasnt sure about it to start with but actually Ive learnt so much and this was a really valuable experience. The team here at Total Triumph have all been out on a days experience, and have honestly only had really positive things to say about it. It was a great learning experience and has hone their riding skills massively. Group workshops take place from varying locations around Somerset, so there is bound to be at date and location to suit you. The following dates are available to book: Wednesday 19th June Bridgwater area Tuesday 5th September location tbc Saturday 30th September Cheddar area Saturday 28th October location tbc These 1 day workshops cost 45 and can be booked via this link. This is a unique opportunity to experience an observed ride with either a serving or former Police Advanced Rider who will bring a wealth of experience of riding and collision investigation. The day will be relaxed, and you will receive friendly hints and tips on how to make your ride safer and more enjoyable. Tue, 20 Jun 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.totaltriumph.co.uk/news-&-events/adventure-centre-experience-april-2023 In late April, we took another group of Total Triumph customers to the Triumph Adventure Experience, in Ystralgsis near the Brecon Beacons. We have run these for a few years now, and they are always well received. The experiences includes all required admin and organisation, hire of riding kit, overnight stay and food/drinks. The team running the centre are truly world class, every time I have attended they have adapted and reacted to the skill level and confidence of the participants. In order to make the most of the day, you are up early and riding by around 9 am. After 20 mins of road riding, you are onto some of the famous Welsh lanes. Through the day each rider is coached and advised on some of the basics of off-road riding (this is suitable for people with zero off road experience, or to hone some skills you may already have) and taken through different scenery requiring additional skills to navigate. There is always the option to pass if any obstacle looks to tricky, and at no point is anybody rushed, or out of their comfort zone. Be prepared to get wet, muddy but have an amazing day. We collectively dropped a few of the bikes, and truly tested ourselves and the machines. Its eye opening to see what these bikes can do; without having to risk your own bike, and only acts to improve your road riding too. Please let us know if you wish to take part in future experiences, and we can keep in touch. Level 1 Experience - Spring 24 Level 2 Experience (must have previous off road) - October 23 Spanish Experience - still in planning for Winter 23 subject to enough interest Get in contact with ushttps://www.totaltriumph.co.uk/contact-usand we'll send you more information on these exciting Experiences that are not to be missed. Wed, 24 May 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.totaltriumph.co.uk/news-&-events/street-triple-rrs-dealer-immersion-event-mallory-park On Thursday 6th April it was off to Mallory Park to join around 50 other Dealers from across the UK for the Triumph Street Triple R & RS Immersion Event. The day was to be split into two sections - a road ride on the R and some skills and laps on the track for the RS model. Arriving at the track for breakfast and a briefing the weather was less than ideal with grey skies and pouring rain. First up for Julian was the road ride on the new Street Triple R model. The group headed out from the Mallory Park track across some lovely winding country roads for around an hour, ending up at the Triumph Factory Experience. The bike is extremely competent on the roads, it was a shame that the weather wasnt kinder as the bike has so much potential. Its a comfortable enough ride, the slightly softer set up means its incredibly nimble and handling is much better compared to the previous model. After a bit of lunch (which was amazing!) the weather had thankfully cleared and there was certainly a dry racing line for the track afternoon on the Street Triple RS model. It started with a bit of skills training and taking advantage of the higher spec suspension and brakes that the bike has to offer. This was a great learning experience, especially for someone who hasnt experienced being out on a race track. Julian took a steady couple of laps to start with, getting to grips with the quicker acceleration and sharper handling. Once happier with the power, it was full throttle to see just how good this bike was. All in all, both bikes are a welcome improvement on the previous models. This may divide opinion, but having ridden both one after the other, the R is just as much fun as the RS model. The R is more is a more than capable bike for both the track and on the road, and whats more, its the cheaper option! This doesnt detract from the fact that both bikes are incredible machines. Why not book a test ride and take these out on the road and see what you think? Mon, 24 Apr 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.totaltriumph.co.uk/news-&-events/project-triumph-te-1-prototype-motorcycle-design With the exciting reveal of the innovative advanced electric powertrain and battery and the first styling sketches for the final Project TE-1 Prototype, Phase 2 of this landmark four phase collaboration in British design and engineering reaches a successful conclusion. Delivering on the objectives announced at the start of the TE-1 project in May 2019, focused on developing specialist electric motorcycle technology and innovative integrated solutions, this unique collaboration between Triumph Motorcycles, Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Ltd, and WMG at the University of Warwick funded by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, has already achieved significant results. Including innovation in battery and powertrain design, initial test performance results far exceed the current benchmarks and industry targets. Developments in performance, efficiency and range is enabling Project TE-1 to fully deliver the partnerships objectives to enhance the credibility and profile of British industry providing substantial input into future electric motorcycle strategy from Triumph. Announcing the completion of Phase 2- with the reveal of the battery and powertrain prototype, initial high level performance results, and the first design concept drawings for the Project TE-1 Prototype motorcycle that will be created at the end of the next phase. Key project achievements to dateinclude test results that show significant innovation in mass, battery technology, and powertrain performance that exceeds the target set by the UK Automotive Council for 2025, meeting the projects ambitious objectives to deliver genuine innovation for a new standard in fully usable electric motorcycle performance. Project TE-1 is a unique collaboration between four major UK industry and academic leaders- Triumph Motorcycles, Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Ltd.s e-Drive Division, and WMG at the University of Warwick. The objective of this two-year project is focused on developing electric motorcycle capabilities- providing an input into Triumphs future electric motorcycle offer, driving innovation, capability and new intellectual property, enhancing the credibility and profile of British industry and design. Project TE-1 is fundedby the UK Governments Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), and delivered through Innovate UK The completion of Phase 2, and the promising results achieved to date, provide an exciting glimpse of the potential electric future and showcase the talent and innovation of this unique British collaboration. Without doubt the outcome of this project will play a significant part in our future efforts to meet our customers ambition and desire to reduce their environmental impact and for more sustainable transportation, said Nick Bloor, Triumph CEO. This important project will provide one of the foundations for our future electric motorcycle strategy, which is ultimately focussed on delivering what riders want from their Triumph; the perfect balance of performance, handling and real world usability, with genuine Triumph character. PROJECT TE-1 PHASE 2 OUTCOMES Battery and powertrain prototype WILLIAMS ADVANCED ENGINEERING (WAE) Based on the agreed specification, we identified appropriate cell technology and battery architecture to deliver the performance objectives. Using this as a framework, we then optimised the battery module layout to balance mass and positioning within the prototype chassis taking into consideration centre of gravity, space and relationship with the powertrain and charging approach. In addition to the module layout, we have also developed a new and unique vehicle control unit which is integrated into the battery pack to minimise weight and packaging. In parallel, WAE has also created innovative battery management software to ensure power is delivered in relationship to battery performance. The outcome of Phase 2 for WAE includes a fully bench-tested battery with performance results that exceeds anything else on the market in terms of Power and Energy Density. We are delighted to be working on this project, working to deliver next-generation battery technology and control systems. Within the current landscape, most electric motorcycle technology arguably delivers compromised performance at low levels of battery charge. By using a lightweight, compact solution we have been able to give the rider all of the performance all of the time (regardless of battery charge), and a class leading range. We have focussed on pushing the boundaries to reduce mass and optimise frame position to benefit handling. We have also pushed the limits of battery performance, balancing the design for acceleration and range, with simulations modelled on track-based riding. In other words, as aggressive as possible, saidDyrr Ardash, Senior Commercial Manager, Williams Advanced Engineering.The energy density of this new battery will be a significant step forward from existing technology giving the rider more power, for longer. WAE has also designed and developed an electronic control unit from the ground-up combining the battery management system with the bike control functions in one package. This is a first for this market, benefiting packaging and integration whilst optimising performance and range. INTEGRAL POWERTRAIN LTD.S E-DRIVEDIVISION Our experience in cutting edge motor and inverter design and manufacture has helped us to push this technology on to the next level for the TE-1 project. In Phase 1 we worked to integrate the normally separate motor and inverter into one single, compact, package. Integration reduces the mass and volume of the drivetrain by reducing additional boxes on the vehicle, mounting features, coolant pipework and heavy high voltage connections. The innovative integration concept is also a fully scalable one, whereby the number of power stages can increase for larger diameter, higher torque motors for example. Combined with our state-of-the-art motor technology, we have seen very exciting results already, with the motor achieving a power density twice that of the target set by the UK Automotive Council for 2025. We have also implemented advanced silicon carbide switch technology in the inverter, this reduces losses in the inverter and results in greater drivetrain efficiency, power delivery and range. At the end of Phase 2, we are proud to have built a fully operational, new, prototype motor that has been bench tested and is delivering on all aspects of performance. "One of the most influential factors in how well a motorcycle handles and performs is mass, so at Integral Powertrain we have focused heavily on making a step change in motor and inverter design, removing heavy high voltage cables for example. This delivers a product that is significantly more compact and lighter than anything currently available on the market. The motor produces 130kW or almost 180 horsepower, but weighs only 10 kilograms, much lighter than existing technology and clearly a small fraction of the mass of traditional internal combustion engines, saidAndrew Cross, Chief Technical Officer at Integral Powertrain Ltd.The silicon carbide switch technology in our new scalable integrated inverter will help set new standards in terms of electric motorcycle efficiency; application of this technology means a lighter weight overall with significantly more performance and range. In parallel, we have a very strong focus on design for manufacture and assembly activity, so that all this high motor and inverter performance can be offered cost-effectively. Ultimately, this is really going to be an industry-leading powertrain that will help define the future of electric mobility. With the TE-1 project we are proud to be part of this landmark project for British industry. WMG, AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK At WMG we have been working closely with all the TE-1 partners during Phase 1 and 2 to develop representative models to simulate the systems of the bike including battery, motor and vehicle control. Initially this allowed us to validate the specification against the intended component selection by assessing performance criteria such as range and top speed with initial models. This has enabled Triumph to carry out software development at an early stage prior to hardware being built with thorough testing programmes to ensure that real-life testing can deliver on refinement. Most recently we have been conducting powertrain rig testing using the prototype IPT powertrain to ensure our simulations are accurate and to confirm that the motor functions within the system as intended. We have also been providing guidance to Triumph relating to future legislation, charging infrastructure and recycling strategies that will need to be implemented across future electric motorcycle platforms. Our creation of initial computer-based simulation models at the start of Phase 1 has been instrumental in ensuring that the component selection was appropriate to achieve the performance targets defined by the partners for the TE-1 Prototype. We have continued with this work across Phase 2 of the project, refining the models to a much more complex level to allow us and the partners to imitate further components on the bike such as braking, throttle, lighting and other systems and mimic real-world riding to provide development opportunities before components were fully designed. Additionally we have created a physical rig wired with all of the control units, in order to implement a design validation test programme to ensure the function of each section was within the allowable range,said Truong Quang Dinh, Assistant Professor of Energy Management and Control Systems at WMG, University of Warwick. TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLES Throughout phase 2 Triumph have developed an all new advanced vehicle control software which incorporates all of the electrical systems to ensure intuitive throttle response, regen braking, traction control and all of the dimensions that a customer would expect from a high-performance Triumph motorcycle. Additionally, we have integrated leading functional safety strategies into this software, plus supported WMG in rig testing and have also fully developed the new prototype instrument display. Alongside this electrical and control system work, we have designed a brand-new prototype chassis including main frame and rear frame which have been optimised alongside the battery and motor packages which will be further evolved in Phase 3 into the TE-1 Prototype which will be used as a mule test platform in Phase 4. During this chassis development we have taken into account both the transmission design and the final styling of the TE-1 Prototype, the drawings of which we are pleased to reveal for the first time today. Steve Sargent, Triumphs Chief Product Officer saidThe starting point for us in the TE-1 project was to gather important customer feedback about what riders really want from their motorcycles and understand how an electric motorcycle can provide the experience that riders desire. This includes considering the type of riding, range, feel and nature of power and torque delivery together with the ergonomics and bike controls. Taking all of this feedback into consideration we began the chassis design, focusing on bringing everything together on the TE-1 Prototype in a way that provides a riding experience that is exciting and new but ultimately familiar. We have begun to define the powertrain and battery interaction through the use of software refinement to deliver an exhilarating power delivery and throttle response, which provides great control and feels intuitive to the rider. Overall with the styling we wanted to create something that is fresh and exciting but a natural evolution of the Triumph brand. Something desirable in its own right, with distinctive Triumph DNA and definitely not something that is different just for the sake of being different. Pulling all of this together with the partners we are thrilled to see the progress of such an exciting demonstration vehicle which incorporates the cutting-edge technology needed to guide the strategy for the future roadmap of electric motorcycles from Triumph. The team are proud to be leading such an innovative, strong and dynamic project with a fantastic group of partners which ultimately should set British engineering and design rightly at the forefront of future 2 wheel design.

Integral Powertrain Ltd.s e-Drive Divisionis leading the development of bespoke power-dense electric motors and a silicon carbide inverter, integrating both into a singular motor housing. WMG, at the University of Warwickis providing electrification expertise, and the critical vision to drive innovation from R&D to commercial impact, through modelling and simulation based on future market needs. The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV)is a team working across government to support the transition to zero emission vehicles, as well as funding to support chargepoint infrastructure across the UK. This will contribute to economic growth and will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution on UK roads. OZEV is part of the Department for Transport and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. Innovate UKis the governments research and innovation agency that supports business led R&D funding and UK business growth. A two-year project focused on developing technical innovation and advanced electric motorcycle capabilities The project is organised into four main phases, with one of its key aims being increased systems integration. By developing individual components of automotive-based electric drivetrains and optimising them into innovative combined units, the project aims to deliver sophisticated electric motorcycle systems which reduce mass, complexity and package requirements. Triumph Motorcycles is working alongside the partner organisations to accelerate joint expertise in the packaging and safety of batteries, optimum electric motor sizing and packaging, the integration of braking systems including regenerative braking, and advanced safety systems. The innovation and capabilities developed in these areas will input into Triumphs future electric motorcycle strategy. The Project Triumph TE-1 partnership, with the support of the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles and Innovate UK, is focused on facilitating the creation of: Electric motorcycle capability that meets the needs of customers seeking lower environmental impact transportation, delivering against the UKs focus on reducing emissions Strong, commercially viable and sustainable partnerships with UK industry manufacturers and supply chains Expertise and capability within the UK workforce, creating jobs and a talent base that both ensures sustainable employment and drives the UKs reputation and influence on the world stage. Dr Francesca Iudicello CEng MIMechE Programme Manager Automotive Zero Emission Vehicles Innovate UK Innovate UK has worked in close partnership with the Office of Zero Emission Office to deliver the integrated delivery programme since 2013. This provides funding to ground-breaking innovation in the automotive sectors for zero emission vehicle technologies from proof of concept to vehicle demonstration. The TE-1 project is a part of this programme under the IDP15 competition and is aligned with the road to zero policy and marks an important milestone towards zero emission vehicles and the race to net zero. We are proud to have delivered the funding for this project which is a pioneering project for the zero-emission vehicle motorcycle manufacturing in the UK as it has successfully developed, thanks to a very talented group of innovators, the very first Triumph electric motorcycle in a very quick development time and prepared the groundwork for the future of electric motorcycles. Jon Bray Research & Development (R&D) Lead - Office for Zero Emission Vehicles Investment in Research and Development is key to our mission of putting the UK at the forefront of the design, manufacture and use of zero emission vehicles. By supporting these technologies, we are helping to deliver our road transport decarbonisation goals, while anchoring economic activity across the UK, which will support the green recovery in the wake of the pandemic. This is why the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles continues to design and fund a series of R&D competitions, which support UK innovation in developing zero emission vehicle and charging infrastructure technologies. Triumphs TE-1 project is part of our diverse R&D portfolio of ambitious electrification projects, which are addressing challenges in line with our accelerated phase-out ambitions of petrol and diesel cars and vans and electric vehicle commitments in the Prime Ministers Ten Point Plan. We are excited to see that our funding is supporting Triumph Motorcycles in driving forward innovation and capability in the electric motorcycle space, while fostering collaboration between several pioneering UK companies. Tue, 30 Mar 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.totaltriumph.co.uk/news-&-events/scrambler-1200-adventure-experience We provided a free Triumph Adventure Experience to the first of our new Scrambler 1200 customers this year and finally fulfilled it this week. After a quick drive (approx. 2 hours from our dealership) in the evening sun, we had a few beers together and were all looking forward to the next day in the Brecon Beacons. We have found a local B&B to stay - not only bike themed, but run by riders too, who only had good things to say about riding in the local area. This carries a minimal cost and we hope to combine an overnight stay in our future events price. I have been to the Adventure Centre before but it was good to see the impressions on other peoples faces as we arrived. The setup has obviously had no expense spared and is superbly organised. They now have around 2 years under their belt and have had thousands of customers through from around the world. This shows as it runs so smoothly and quickly. Full facilities are on site for showering post ride, and after a quick briefing about the days plans, we found all our correct sized gear laid out for us. The experience includes the motorcycle hire, clothing, boots and gloves. The only equipment you need to bring is a helmet. There are even GoPro camera available for hire at just 20/day to capture your good (and bad) bits. We had arrived at 8:30 am, and were on the bikes by 9:15 with approx. 10 miles to cover before the first off road section (the training arena and start of green lanes are only minutes from the main centre). It was a bit of a drop in the deep end trying the smallest lanes in the rain on off road tyres. You appreciated the traction control more here than when we went off road. Whilst this day was a green lane / off road introduction, there are various skill levels, and types of course on offer. Triumph have had a good percentage of customers return to improve their skills later on. There were 3 instructors to our 10 riders, so throughout the day, as the difficulty of the trail increased, we were also pointed through the best techniques and skills required to complete everything. I certainly noticed as the days went on, my confidence off road just improved, but also our speed did the same throughout the group and as far as I am aware we were all outside of our comfort zone, but only by the right amount to test us as opposed intimidate or put us off. After a slightly wet morning (not that it mattered or made any difference), we stopped for lunch in a small village the planning that went into the day showed here as we turned up to our pre-booked choice being served and a drink in our hand, it simply could not have been slicker. Through the afternoon, some of the more experience riders appreciated the trails getting harder, and I think a nice balance was struck between making it interesting enough for the ones with the ability and also easy enough for those with less experience. We have a lots of video footage from the day, and would welcome anybody who wishes to talk more about it, or express and interest in attending themselves. We will be looking to run courses, for customers with no off road experience, up to well-practised off roaders amongst us. Please contact us HERE to register your interest. Sat, 21 Sep 2019 00:00:00 BST https://www.totaltriumph.co.uk/news-&-events/manchester-to-rome-on-a-street-scrambler Manchester to Rome on a Street Scrambler! Tour Notes from PDB It was a hard decision for me to part with my Africa Twin for a Triumph Street Scrambler (some said foolhardy)! The decision had to be made due to an old knee injury which made the control of the tall Africa Twin somewhat difficult when standing and at low speed. I needed something that was small and nimble. I arranged a test ride on a Scrambler (2016 model) with Craig at Total Triumph and once I had a few miles under my belt, I knew that I should give this bike a chance. As soon as the test ride was over I entered into discussions with Craig to chop in my Africa Twin for the Scrambler - deal done. I took delivery of the Scrambler and after the initial running-in period I embarked on 2 small tours of Ireland and Germany. At some point I added a touring screen to the Scrambler and this made quite some difference to the wind, which was a little violent above 70 MPH. In Ireland I travelled with two Austrian friends who both rode up from Southern Austria on KTM 1190 Adventure Bikes. Clearly, prior to the tour, I was feeling a little inadequate in both the CC and BHP departments. In truth, I managed to keep up with my friends on most of the smaller twisting coastal roads. On open roads it was a different story, clearly. So, after some planning I set off from Manchester on route to Rome on the 29th July 2019 on my trusted Scrambler. I planned to take 7 days but also wanted to stop in Southern Austria to meet up with my wife for a holiday. I also planned not to take any motorways (except the dreadful M1 in the UK). This I managed to do with the assistance of my somewhat odd TomTom Rider, and a lot of luck. The route I took was into France using the tunnel, then onto Belgium, Germany (south through the black forest), into Switzerland and then east into Austria. From Austria I followed the east coast of Italy down to Ancona, then cross country (southwest) to Rome. As I said the total route took me 7 days and I covered 2,558 miles. I did find some classic routes and one in particular you can find on TomToms website as I uploaded it there. I called the route SPA Epic. Please have a look and download if you want a 5 hour epic ride on fast and sweeping B roads (mainly). I can say that this tour was fantastic, apart from Italy and I take this opportunity to warn all riders that from mid Italy down, the riding conditions are really not good. The roads are in a shocking state and even worse than the UK! I can now state that the decision to pop into Total Triumph was a really good one and I am delighted with my Scrambler. Below is my list of pros and cons for owning this bike. Pros: Handling on all roads was a dream and the bike is extremely surefooted, even in the wet. Comfort was equal to the Honda but clearly not at speeds in excess of 70, due to wind. The Scrambler is very easy to ride and extremely nimble at all speeds. I was getting about 160 miles per tank of fuel. I could take on a few forest tracks with no problem at all. Due to the lack of space I was forced to pack only essential items. Having Total Triumph as a dealer gave me a lot of confidence to be a long way from home. Looks and sounds like a real bike especially with the Vance and Hines pipe Cons: Lack of power for overtaking on hills was an issue when I took my wife with me (only 52kg extra). With 55 BHP one cannot expect the pull of a bike with twice the HP. Luggage space is limited. I say this is a con but its also a big plus? Wind protection is only what you would expect, but having even a small screen does a remarkable job of adding protection from the wind. No cruise-control Braking could be better. Heat on the leg from the engine/exhaust is a factor when ridding in hot weather (30 degrees or more) No heated grips would be a factor if riding in the UK. I have owned quite a few bikes in my life and it is surprising that I find myself saying that the Triumph Street Scrambler is the best yet. I know this bike is not for everyone but for sure you can go on long adventure tours and keep up with bigger bikes, as long as you remain on smaller roads. I would definitely not want to do any longer than 30 minutes of motorways for obvious reasons. Also a big thanks to Craig, Total Triumph and my Brother for getting me back on the road in a big way. The best dealer I have ever been involved with. So what next? Well, clearly I need to get back to the UK and maybe change this bike for the All New 65 BHP (wow) scrambler, or maybe even go for the 1200 XC if it is low enough. But maybe I just hold on to my bike for a while longer, as I love it. Best, PDB Tue, 17 Sep 2019 00:00:00 BST
