Triumph’s New Motocross and Enduro Bikes Dominate National Racing in Debut Seasons
Triumph Motorcycles has delivered standout results in off-road racing so far this year, as its new motocross and enduro bikes claim multiple national championship titles and podium finishes across Europe, North America, and Australia. In their inaugural seasons, these purpose-built motocross and enduro machines have proven their performance, reliability, and race-winning potential against some of the most established names in the sport.
British Championship Wins for TF 250-X and TF 250-E
In the ACU British MX2 Motocross Championship, Tommy Searle rode the TF 250-X to the title in a competitive and closely fought season. Despite missing a round due to injury, Searle delivered a decisive performance in the final moto to secure the championship for the Dirt Store Triumph Racing team.
Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team have dominated the 2025 British Enduro Championship with riders Jamie McCanney and Mikael Persson. The team secured a landmark result for the British manufacturer with a 1-2 finish in the eight-round series, which took place at venues across the UK. Racing the TF 250-E throughout the season, Persson put on strong performances all year to establish a commanding lead in the Elite Championship class. However, with injury forcing the Swedish racer out of the final round, McCanney was able to capitalise on his consistency, claiming victory on day one to clinch the title for Triumph. The Triumph Factory Racing duo finished a dominant 1-2 in the series with seven wins and six second places – an incredible result in the team’s first season of competition with the all-new TF 250-E.
European Success for TF 250-E
This success follows Triumph’s victory at the hotly contested Assoluti d’Italia di Enduro Italian National Championship earlier in the season, where Italian rider Morgan Lesiardo took the 250 4T title aboard the TF 250-E.
An intense and technical championship finale tested the riders to the limit, delivering excitement and surprises right up to the final moments of the series. Lesiardo was able to capitalise on his skill and experience, combined with the competitiveness of his TF 250-E, to take the title. In addition, Triumph racer Luca Colorio became vice-champion in the Junior category of the championship.
In the Swedish Enduro Championship, Oskar Ljungström finished second in the SM1 category, while Arvid Modin placed fourth in the Junior series.
Motocross mastery across Europe
In the German ADAC MX Masters series, Max Nagl became vice-champion with the TF 450-RC in a hard-fought battle for the title. The German racer took a number of overall victories and podiums with the Dörr Motorsport Triumph Racing powered by Krettek team.
In Sweden, Alvin Östlund enjoyed an impressive MX1 season aboard his FF-Racing Triumph machine. The racer from Hallstahammar delivered numerous top-three moto finishes, with four runner-up podium finishes and his first overall victory aboard Triumph machinery at the fifth round in Ulricehamns MK. Östlund just missed out on the title but was proud to become vice-champion in Triumph’s first year competing at National level.
In Spain, Samuel Nilsson and rookie racer Carlos Prat currently lie fourth and sixth in the Spanish National MX Championship Elite MX2 category. Nilsson has earned four podiums from six races, with Prat also earning a podium position this season, with one round still to go.
In neighbouring Portugal, 17-year-old Tomás Santos finished third in the standings in the Campeonato Nacional Jogos Santa Casa MX series, taking four race podiums from six rounds during his first year on four-stroke machinery. In the MX1 Veterans category, Ricardo Ayres used his experience and determination to overcome injuries and win the championship in his first year aboard a Triumph.
In France, Jimmy Clochet took fourth overall in the Championnat De France Motocross MX2 series, while in Poland, Wiktoria Kupczyk took a dominant win in her national championship at the final round.
Strong performance across US, Canada and Australia
In the US, Triumph celebrated a first race win from Ricky Russell in the AMA National Enduro series in the US. In Canada, Kaylie Kayer finished as vice-champion in the Canadian WMX East series, the biggest amateur national series in the country, with a 1-1 victory at the final round. A number of regional titles have also been won by Triumph-mounted racers on Canadian soil.
Triumph earned notable results in the Australia Pro MX Motocross championship, with Zachary Watson taking fifth in the overall MX1 standings aboard his TF 450.
International Podiums for Triumph’s TF bikes
With race wins and podium finishes in international series including FIM MXGP, EnduroGP, SuperEnduro, and the AMA SuperMotocross Championship, as well as contributing to Team Italy and Sweden’s success in the International Six Days Enduro, Triumph has demonstrated the capability of its full off-road line-up. The TF 250-X, TF 450-RC, TF 250-E, and TF 450-E have all delivered at the highest level on some of the off-road world’s most competitive stages.
Ian Kimber, Triumph’s Head of Global Racing Programmes, said: “Firstly, we’d like to say a huge congratulations to Mikael, Jamie, and Tommy for their results in the British Enduro and British MX2 championships. It’s a very exciting moment for everyone involved to see a Triumph on top of the podium in the British championships in only our first year of competition.
“We’ve also seen many more strong performances in championships across the world, which is really exciting. To win and finish runner-up against some highly established competition in a number of the top domestic championships is testament to all the hard work delivered by everyone across the global Triumph team. We’d like to say a huge congratulations to all of the riders and teams competing at national level for their first year onboard Triumph machinery.
“In just two years, Triumph has developed an ambitious off-road racing programme, in some of the toughest international competitions. At the same time, Triumph in countries across the world have brought these brand-new, developed from the ground-up motocross and enduro models to customers worldwide for the first time. It’s been intense to say the least.
“Each of these countries has also been working to make an impact in their own national racing programmes, and our teams on the ground have played a vital role in the ecosystem of racing, testing, and development, while nurturing talent and showcasing our products at a national level. After such an impressive first year, we can’t wait to see what 2026 will bring.”
