As engine supplier for the Moto2 Championship , Triumph Motorcycles has the job of keeping the sub-1000cc rockets pushing boundaries of speed and lap times . Obviously , leaving the development of the powerplant off to one side isn ’ t an option for Triumph , and the firm has just announced a raft of new developments for the 765cc triple Moto2 engine to increase performance even further .

While definitive power figures of the updated engine have not been disclosed , the previous iteration of the Moto2 765 triple produced “ in excess ” of 140PS . To maintain the engine ’ s impressive reliability record , having already completed nearly one million competitive Moto2 kilometres , further improvements focus on the pistons , conrods and crankshaft to cope with the higher piston pressure of 90 BAR ( up from 85 BAR ). “ We are incredibly proud of the way that our 765cc triple engine has redefined the Moto2 category , making it faster , more competitive and better sounding ”, Triumph ’ s Chief Product Officer , Steve Sargent , said . “ To have achieved so many lap records , and a top speed equivalent of more than 100km / h per cylinder , is something we are very satisfied with since Triumph started powering the class from the 2019 season .

We have achieved very nearly 1 million competitive kilometres on the
