to be the best . If you are familiar with the Triumph brand , you already know the quality of craftsmanship is top shelf , and the offroad models will follow suit to their past !” Not only are these exciting times for me , but it ’ s an exciting time for the off-road industry to be adding another brand to the mix and the opportunities that lie ahead for all off-road consumers . I can ’ t wait to see the reactions when these models hit the dealer ’ s showroom floors .”
We ’ re super excited by the idea of Triumph branching out into the dirt sector . It ’ s kind of a return to Triumph ’ s roots in a way considering MX racing ( or Scrambles as it was called back then ) was originally done on old British twins in the 50s and 60s . The possibilities are seemingly endless for Triumph as well . With a set of enduro bikes , could we see Triumph Motorcycles eventually head into the desert and take on the Dakar Rally ? That would be very cool to see .
