Triumph
So Triumph are working on a range of motorcross & enduro bikes, I dread to think what the cost will be, I’ve had a few of the Hinckley Triumphs but their prices have gone through the roof?

Re: Triumph
Hmmm...if they do it properly it could be good. If on the other hand they just copy existing best practice and then bring it to market a year later, they will forever be playing catch up.
KTM could certainly do with some non-KTM competition. I've never known so many disheartened (former) KTM fans. Beta is better...so they tell me!

Re: Triumph
I must admit I checked it wasn’t April when I read this.
It’s a surprising move into a small and crowded market place. That said maybe KTM need challenging.
Wonder if it’s full on Enduro tools or will the make something that would also make a nice trail bike.

Re: Triumph
A good thing I hope. There's not enough variety in the enduro sector. Let's see what they come up with....

Re: Triumph
I was in a Triumph dealer yesterday afternoon when they told me about this.
According to the lady I was talking to she said that Triumph have said it is not good enough just to be in Enduro, "they intend to win", a bold statement.

Re: Triumph
An interesting move for Triumph who are (or at least were) generally conservative on moving into markets outside of their norm. I do hope it's a success to bring some more competition to the market and not a flop like the last Euro attempt from BMW with the G450X.
Perhaps we'll even see a Triumph in the Dakar in a few years!
Seems like it won't be an electric only project either "Triumph factory race programme, and a commitment to top tier championship racing in both Motocross and Enduro series".
Some serious names behind the project though with Carmichael and Cervantes!

Re: Triumph
With a competitive “pre65” Tiger Cub now costing £7K+ perhaps we’ll see a new Tiger Cub appear?
I saw a Triumph Bobber yesterday while I was out on the Fantic & it crossed my mind what they were thinking when they designed that, surely there’s not that many hipsters about?

Re: Triumph
Maybe not 'oop north' but in Shoreditch, dhaling, there are millions of them. There's a beard-trimming shop and an edgy tattoo place on every corner.
Re: Triumph
It would probably be a Tiger Cub in name only but I could see a road legal enduro being the modern equivalent.lancashirelad wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 1:36 pm With a competitive “pre65” Tiger Cub now costing £7K+ perhaps we’ll see a new Tiger Cub appear?

Evidently they sell because Triumph have 9 individual "modern classic" models and as far as I can tell most brands are producing retro styled bikes too. Of which isn't the Caballero a retro styled scrambler?
It's definitely not just in London!Richard Simpson Mark II wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 2:46 pm Maybe not 'oop north' but in Shoreditch, dhaling, there are millions of them. There's a beard-trimming shop and an edgy tattoo place on every corner.
