As we all know, you only get one chance to make a first impression, which was granted to 1000 Horsepower for the first official test ride of the new Triumph TF 250-X to Florida on the legendary Gatorback motocross track. However, it wasn't just the track that offered legend status, but also the people gathered on site. Because Triumph didn't just rely on its experienced engineers for its motocross project, but also enlisted the help of some of the greatest dirt bike heroes such as Ricky Carmichael, Jeff Stanton, Clement Desalle, Ivan Tedesco and Ivan Cervantes. Carmichael is known as the "GOAT" - the greatest of all times - in American motocross and supercross. Journalists around the world were eagerly awaiting the traditional forge's first foray into the mx bike market.
The development goal was clear: to enter the market directly at the top of the class and launch a bike with the most complete package for a wide range of riders, from beginners to world champions, and top performance in all respects. With this claim, you can already recognize the attitude that top athletes also display: you are not satisfied with compromises and reach for the stars.
