Triumph Motorcycles has launched its anticipated A2 Roadshow. The Roadshow gives A2 licence holders a fantastic opportunity to test out Triumph’s full A2 line-up.
Qualifying bikes include a Street Triple, Bonneville T100 Black, Street Twin or Street Scrambler, Tiger 800 XCa, XCx and XRx.
Dates are as follows:
15 June – Squires Cafe, Leeds, Yorkshire (pictured)
19 June – Triumph FVE (Factory Visitor Experience), Hinckley
23 June – Triumph London (Carl Rosner, Croydon)
Rick Cawley, Regional Director Europe – Sales & Marketing, said: “Triumph has a fantastic range of capable A2 licence-ready motorbikes that don’t restrict riders’ fun and are easily converted back to full power when needed.
“We obviously want as many young riders to experience our bikes but we got feedback that many of them were struggling to organise test rides because of the complexities around insurance and prohibitively high costs for dealers. This is a group of often overlooked riders and this is our chance to let them sample the whole range in one place without any hassle.”

The Tiger 800 will now be available in a new Pure White, along with unique colours for each model, like Baja Orange for the XCx and XCA, Matt Jet Black and Lucerne Blue for the XRT, and Matt Khaki Green exclusively for the XCA.
Colour options for the Bonneville line-up will be replaced with Matt Ironstone/Matt Black for the T100 Black, Cranberry Red for the T100, and Storm Grey/Baja Orange and Silver Ice for the T120.
Fans of the Tiger 1200 can also enjoy a fresh new look with a number of new colours across the range, like Lucerne Blue on the XRx, Storm Grey on the XCx and Matt Jet Black on the XRT.
The new colour choices also span across the Tiger Sport, Speedmaster, Speed Triple RS and Street Triple RS with eye-catching two-tone and matt options.
Triumph Motorcycles are excited to confirm their return to the off-road endurance racing world with the new Scrambler 1200 XE at the Norra Mexican 1000 race, piloted by stunt rider and off-road racer Ernie Vigil.
Ernie Vigil is one of Triumph’s factory riders, and an experienced off-road racer, and was very likely the first person to have completed the Mexican 1000 on board a Triumph Tiger 800.
Now fully recovered and fit for action following an injury during training in October 2018, Ernie has spent the last 3 weeks in Southern California with the race-ready Scrambler 1200 completing his final preparations for this gruelling challenge.
Ernie’s Scrambler 1200 XE is in near-standard condition, and has only had additional specific desert racing seat, lights, grips and extreme profile sand tyres. Topping off the race spec features, there is also a unique off-road racing scheme with Triumph’s signature Black and White paint and graphics.
The Scrambler 1200 XE is an all-new benchmark-setting motorcycle that represents a first for dual-purpose capability and modern custom style. This beautiful new 1200 scrambler delivers a category redefining level of performance, specification and finish, fused with Triumph’s iconic Scrambler DNA and all the capability of a genuine adventure motorcycle.
The Norra Mexican 1000 is an incredible off-road racing challenge that takes in more than 1,000 miles across rocky desert, tackling quicksand, unpredictable 1,000bhp racing trucks and the elements. If you want to compete in extreme endurance races on a motorcycle, the Mexican 1000 is one of the biggest. Starting in Ensenada, Mexico, the original 1,000-mile route (which is where it gets its name) kicked off in 1967. The route changes and the distance varies but it is always around 1,000 miles, and promises one thing: an incredible challenge.
The Mexican 1000 is being run on the very same arduous course and conditions as the Baja 1000, which is the same terrain that made the Triumph Scrambler name famous in the 1960s, so the Scrambler 1200XE will be put to the ultimate scrambling test. As this is such a highly challenging competition, Ernie, who was selected for both his experience and incredible commitment as well as his passion for this project, has been in full training for many weeks.
Ernie Vigil said: “After 9 months of training, the injury and over 6,000 off-road miles in the saddle I’m excited to be getting to the final stage of prep for one of the most challenging off-road races you can do. I literally can’t wait to get to that starting line and fire the Scrambler up! The bike has been performing amazingly well and I’m raring to go.”
Paul Stroud, Triumph’s Chief Commercial Officer said: “Everyone at Triumph is rooting for Ernie, his commitment to returning to race fitness following his injury has been amazing and we just can’t wait to see the Scrambler 1200 in action. Baja desert racing has played such a big part in the history of scrambling and it was the spark that kicked off of our whole iconic Scrambler line-up.
2018’s fastest man on the roads Peter Hickman and Gary Johnson to ride Triumph Daytona 675R in 2019 road races
Triumph Motorcycles are extremely proud to announce their support for two top rank riders, Peter Hickman and Gary Johnson, in their 2019 Supersport road racing campaigns, with the provision of Daytona 675R motorcycles and engines. Peter Hickman, who is widely recognised as the fastest man on the roads during the 2018 season, will be riding a Triumph Daytona 675R for the Smith’s Racing team during the 2019 road racing season campaign, incorporating the North West 200, Isle of Man TT and Ulster Grand Prix.
In 2018, Peter and Smith’s Racing took two podium positions in the punishing TT Supersport races, and went on to win the Supersport race outright at the Ulster Grand Prix, all aboard the Triumph Daytona 675R motorcycle sponsored by Trooper premium British beer.
Gary Johnson, riding for the RAF Reserves Lee Hardy racing team, is a two time Isle of Man Supersport TT winner and seasoned road racing expert. Gary will also be campaigning in the four races within the racing schedule of the Isle of Man TT and North West 200 Supersport races on board his Triumph Daytona 675R.
Triumph is incredibly excited to support such accomplished and capable teams, plus the fastest rider on the island electing to choose a Triumph Motorcycle for the Supersport category. Everyone in the Triumph factory are excited, as the TT holds such a high place in the brand’s history in the heartland of UK racing. Along with Triumph triple engines powering Moto2™ and the forthcoming Scrambler 1200 racer debut at the Mexican 1000, 2019 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years for Triumph racing fans to witness and enjoy.
Paul Stroud, Triumph’s Chief Commercial Officer said: ““All Triumph staff and fans wish both Peter and Gary an extremely successful 2019 road racing season. We are delighted to be assisting with their Supersport racing campaigns and it’s fair to say that everyone here is looking forward to hearing the Daytona 675R triple powered machines reverberating around the 37-mile course in June and challenging for the win.”
For both riders, we wish them all the best for successful, safe and exciting 2019 road racing campaign.
Triumph Motorcycles has announced the opening of a new Triumph dealership in East Birmingham.
Triumph Birmingham East will be opened by father and son team Richard and Matthew Worley, who have been running successful motorcycle dealerships for nearly 40 years. The new dealership will initially be located at an interim showroom at 361 Watling Street, Tamworth B77 5AD, which will subsequently undergo a major site redevelopment throughout autumn 2019.
The new dealership will offer an extensive range of new and Approved Pre-owned Triumph motorcycles, servicing from expert level trained technicians, official Triumph parts, clothing & accessories, Triumph Insurance and TriStar Finance.
Paul Lilly, general manager Triumph Motorcycles UK & Ireland, said: “We are delighted to support the opening of the new Triumph Birmingham East dealership in Tamworth. Richard and Matthew have a great team with a huge amount of experience and they will do a fantastic job in helping expand our presence in the West Midlands.”
Richard Worley, owner of Triumph Birmingham East, said: “Matthew and I are really excited to be on board with Triumph Motorcycles. It’s a fantastic brand with great products and we’re looking forward to offering top drawer customer service to customers old and new.”
Triumph Motorcycles has announced the addition of jet engines to the hotly anticipated Rocket TFC’s accessory range, capable of temporarily boosting the bike’s output by 1,000hp.
The two powerful jet engines, which are fitted in lieu of standard exhausts, are each capable of producing over 500hp during full afterburner and are engaged by the lucky owner through the switchgear-operated “Rocket” mode boosting the top speed of the bike significantly.
Always at the forefront of new technologies, Triumph Motorcycles has designed and engineered the jet engines in-house at the home of Triumph in Hinckley, Leicestershire. Built as a homage to the Rocket 3’s engine, already the world’s biggest production powerplant, the alternative power source has been incorporated for its power, efficiency and performance credentials.
Rocket TFC models fitted with the optional Rocket Mode Thrusters will also require the fitment of a bespoke fuel tank to separate the bike’s standard & jet fuel reserves.
The bespoke accessories are the result of continued innovation on the Rocket TFC concept ahead of further information being announced on May 1st, 2019.
S.P. Aceman, Chief Project Engineer for Triumph Motorcycles, said: “The Rocket TFC is an exceptional model and with the new Rocket Mode Thrusters will beat just about anything in a straight line, including up. It’s very exciting to bring powerful hybrid technology to the forefront of the motorcycle industry in the form of a bike as iconic as the Rocket. Product development continues at pace for this very special motorcycle with an optional re-entry fairing due to be tested shortly.”
Available as a special order on April 1st only, Triumph is taking customer orders through social media and across our local network of official Triumph dealerships. For further information and to see the jet engines in action, visit the Triumph UK Facebook Page – https://www.facebook.com/OfficialTriumphUK

A legend re-born
Changing the face of motorcycling, the original 1938 Triumph Speed Twin, with the world’s first successful parallel twin engine packaged into a game changing chassis, was a revelation to ride. Its smooth dynamic handling and superb responsive feel established Triumph as the number one motorcycle marque globally for performance and handling, setting the template for all that followed, and earning a global reputation for being the first real ‘riders bike’.
For 2019, the all-new 1200cc Speed Twin re-introduces this illustrious Triumph name to our Modern Classics line-up, setting all over again a new standard in class-leading handling, and delivering a new benchmark for how a modern custom roadster should ride and feel.
The brand new Speed Twin carries all of the contemporary custom style of the Street Twin but adds even more beautiful premium details. It delivers all the power, torque and technology of the Thruxton R, in an even more accessible modern set-up. And, it offers all of the confidence inspiring ride and rider comfort of the Bonneville T120, but with even more engaged ergonomics.
The result, just like its iconic 20th century namesake, is a new performance icon that sets a whole new standard, with the chassis set-up, riding position, braking ability, suspension, and thrilling power delivery of a truly modern roadster.
Class leading handling
The all-new Speed Twin brings a new standard for class leading handling, with a precise, agile and dynamic modern roadster ride, and a confidence inspiring, intuitive feel.
The dedicated new frame developed from the Thruxton R delivers comfortable engaged roadster ergonomics, which combined with the high specification cartridge front forks and twin rear suspension units with adjustable spring pre-load, make for a truly unparalleled ride.
High specification twin Brembo 4-piston axial calipers on the front with twin discs, and a 2-piston floating caliper and single disc on the rear, provide excellent stopping power, complementing the motorcycle’s modern roadster character.
Adding to the confidence inspiring ride, the new Speed Twin also benefits from:
A comfortable new bench seat at a low height of 807mm, making the bike accessible for all riders
A significant 10 kilogram weight saving compared to the Thruxton, contributing to its class leading handling.
Thrilling performance
The modern roadster character comes to life through its 1200cc High Power 8 valve, parallel twin Bonneville engine, specifically updated for the new Speed Twin.
This revised high performance engine features a low inertia crank and high compression head, and is developed from the Thruxton R’s powerplant.
Engine updates include:
New magnesium cam cover
Revised clutch assembly
New mass optimised engine covers
Together these deliver a unique 2.5kg weight saving versus the Thruxton engine. With 97PS peak power @ 6,750rpm, the new Speed Twin achieves an impressive 76% increase over the 2016/17 Street Twin, and 49% more than the 2018 Street Twin.
Additionally the new Speed Twin engine also delivers a strong peak torque figure of 112 Nm @ 4,950rpm – an amazing 40% more than the 2018 Street Twin.
The Speed Twin’s all new distinctive twin upswept silencers, with satin black painted wrap and stainless steel end caps deliver the unmistakable sound of a British Twin, a unique exhaust note that matches its powerful and legendary character – rich, deep and full.
Behind the stylish exterior sits a liquid cooling system, carefully integrated to minimise its visual impact whilst achieving clean emissions and enhancing fuel efficiency. Combined with an extended first major service interval of 10,000 miles (16,000km), this contributes to a reduced overall cost of ownership.
Advanced rider technology
The new Speed Twin features a full suite of rider-focused technology to deliver advanced rider control and safety, plus enhanced rider confidence – sensitively integrated to maintain its iconic Bonneville style and character.
The Speed Twin’s technology features include:
Three riding modes
Linked to the ride-by-wire system, the three selectable riding modes, Sport, Road and Rain, each with dedicated throttle maps and traction control settings, providing enhanced rider control and safety, and in ‘Sport’, a more immediate throttle response.
ABS
The contemporary safety standard, with minimal visual impact, the ABS is responsive yet unobtrusive.
Switchable traction control
Managing the Speed Twin’s high torque delivery when traction is compromised, the switchable system offers increased rider control.
LED DRL headlight
Incorporated into the headlight, the LED daytime running light brings excellent visibility and a distinctive light profile (where legislation allows).
LED rear light & indicators
Built into the classically inspired minimal tail set-up, the LED rear light and indicators bring a distinctive rear light pattern and excellent power efficiency.
Ride-by-wire
Enhancing throttle responsiveness, safety and feel.
Torque assist clutch
Optimised for a lighter touch and feel to the clutch to make it easier to ride, and ride longer.
Switchgear
