TRIUMPH 250 MX BIKE REVEALED AT LA COLISEUM

Ricky Carmichael and Jeff Stanton presented the first public glimpse of the upcoming Triumph 250 motocross bike this week. They rode a few laps around the SMX track at the LA Coliseum before the last round of the Supermotocross playoffs on Saturday. Both riders appeared to be already familiar with the bikes, which seemed to be near production-ready. The official release date was announced as November 28, 2023. The official press release from Triumph is as follows:

Triumph’s new 250cc motocross bike was unveiled for the first time during the SuperMotocross World Championship Final on Saturday, September 23, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in California. Spectators witnessed two new Triumph motocross bikes entering the arena amid pyrotechnics and fanfare.

The highly anticipated production-specification bike was ridden by Jeff ‘Six Time’ Stanton, who won his last Championship at the Coliseum and currently manages Triumph’s Adventure Experience in the US. He was joined by the GOAT, Ricky Carmichael, whose bike featured his own graphics and non-standard specification components.

The full reveal of the new bike is scheduled for November 28, 2023, as announced on giant screens throughout the stadium.

Ricky Carmichael expressed his satisfaction in showing the fans what they have been working on for the past four years. He said, “The bike feels great, it looks great, and it’s fast. I’m really pleased with what we’ve delivered, and I can’t wait until we can share the final details on November 28th.”

Jeff Stanton added, “The Coliseum is a special place for me, and to be back here on the Triumph is an absolute honor. The new graphics look like nothing else in the paddock and give the bike a really sharp and distinctive new look that I think the fans are going to love.”
