TRIUMPH FACTORY RACING UNVEILS UNIQUE ST JUDE’S LIVERY FOR INDIANAPOLIS SUPERCROSS
Triumph Factory Racing is proud to unveil its unique livery for the Indianapolis East/West 250SX Showdown this weekend. As part of AMA Supercross’ support campaign for the St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, and thanks to a design created by one of its patients, Ty, the TF 250-X will be displayed with a truly special one-off look for the race event.
Each year the Supercross paddock pledges allegiance with St Jude’s for one of its races, with the ‘Love Moto Stop Cancer’ charity campaign. Triumph is proud to have created something extra special for this weekend’s event with its bike and gear design in tribute to the children receiving treatment at the hospital, which has its headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee. Thanks to a painting by young patient, Ty, who had created a beautiful piece of artwork around the theme of ‘Hope’, which coincidentally Triumph had proposed for its St Jude’s livery this year, the scheme incorporates the pink colors synonymous with a number of Cancer charity campaigns. This includes a galactic finish, and it’s an incredibly unique look for the factory TF 250-X. Graphics partner SKDA have been working hard behind the scenes to directly translate Ty’s design to areas of the bike, while also including some special shout-outs for Ty and a young patient in the UK known to Triumph called Noah.
Also featured on the bike are the logos of the Francis Crick Institute, which is Europe’s largest biomedical research Institute under one roof. The Institute was established by bringing together a selection of research labs to be a UK flagship for discovery research in biomedicine. It is named after UK scientist Francis Crick in recognition of his contributions to research of the genetic code, the key to understanding how living things work. The Bloor Group, the owners of Triumph Motorcycles, have a long history of supporting the Crick Institute, which has collaborated with St Jude’s previously. The institute’s logos are featured on the bike this weekend along with that of Cancer Research UK.
