TRIUMPH Z-SERIES FINALLY REVEALED

We ’ ve finally been given a chance to see the new Triumph 250 MX bike in action , and , man , does it look promising . The bike was showcased in all its glory in Triumph ’ s latest “ Vision to Reality ” YouTube video as it ripped around an MX track with riders Ricky Carmichael and up-and-coming rider , Evan Ferry , who have been involved in the testing programme of the new bike , alongside numerous professional riders , as it reached the final stage of development . In the latest film , Ricky Carmichael said : “ It ’ s really balanced , it ’ s good how it pulls coming out of the corner , it ’ s very nimble . When you see a line , boom , you can do it .” Ferry added : “ They found something special with the frame . I don ’ t think I ’ ve ever felt something like that .” The films have been released by Triumph in the run-up to the full reveal of the new 250cc bike , and go behind the scenes to meet the team , share details of the all-new aluminium chassis and engine and witness the final test . The full reveal date is yet to be announced by

Triumph Motorcycles , but going by the film , the bike is very close to being ready for us to go over it with a fine tooth comb .
