Triumph Launches Documentary on Off-Road Racing Entry
Triumph has released a four-part documentary series detailing its move into motocross and enduro racing, from the 2018 project start to its first
Triumph Motorcycles has launched a four-part documentary series chronicling its entry into off-road racing. The series, titled 'ALL IN', covers the company's journey from having no modern motocross or enduro models to competing in international championships.
The first episode, 'Without Compromise', was released on 3 September. Three more episodes are scheduled for October, November, and December. According to the source, Visordown, the project began in 2018.
Triumph says it developed its own motocross and enduro bikes, established testing programmes, and built a dedicated dealer network. The documentary features contributions from riders and key figures involved in the programme.
Featured Riders and Personalities
The series includes insights from several prominent figures in off-road racing. Ricky Carmichael, Ivan Cervantes, Jonny Walker, Jordon Smith, and Mikkel Haarup all contribute. Later episodes also feature Guillem Farres, Camden McLellan, and Paul Edmondson.
These riders discuss the development and competition phases of Triumph's new machines. Their perspectives chart the transition from bike development to racing against established manufacturers.
Episode Breakdown
The documentary is structured across four distinct episodes, each focusing on a different phase of the project.
Episode 1: Without Compromise focuses on the origins of the off-road project. It details the decision to enter motocross and enduro, the development of the bikes, and the preparations to compete at the highest level.
Episode 2: Winning Mindset moves on to Triumph's initial racing results. It examines the challenges and successes of its motocross and Supercross programmes. The episode also covers its involvement in the MX2 World Championship.
Episode 3: Beyond Limits shifts focus to Triumph's enduro programme. Paul Edmondson and Jonny Walker discuss the bikes' performance in EnduroGP, SuperEnduro, and Extreme Enduro competition.
Episode 4: Commitment to Performance looks forward. It concentrates on Triumph's continued investment in development, testing, and engineering as it attempts to build on its early off-road racing results.
Availability and Context
The 'ALL IN' series is available through Triumph's official off-road website and the company's YouTube channel. Triumph's move into this arena is described as relatively recent compared to the established manufacturers it now competes against.
The documentary is presented as a useful resource for understanding this rapid corporate and engineering transition. It aims to show how a historic motorcycle brand entered a completely new competitive landscape.
