Triumph has signed a new contract to continue as exclusive engine supplier for the FIM Moto2 World Championship from 2025 to 2029.
While supplying teams with its 765 triple engines, Triumph will also develop a new race gearbox, which will make its debut in the 2025 season. The company says some improvements are already under way, with the engineering team testing parts after use in this year's Moto2 rounds to make improvements in gear selection for the 2024 season.
"Moto2 continues to be an excellent platform to showcase the performance and capability of our 765 triple engines, driving demand for our new Street Triple 765 range. Over the last five years, we've used the race engine programme to drive enhancements to the 765 engine, and gain insights and learnings that we've used to further develop and evolve our Street Triple 765 range. Our reputation for bulletproof durability, reliability and class-leading performance has grown, which in turn drives our global sales," Triumph chief product officer Steve Sargent said.
He added that Triumph engineers improve every dimension of the engine performance, from speed, power and torque to revs, cylinder pressure and compression ratio to deliver improvements on track. The new race gearbox will make a big difference to the results, achieving shorter race times, faster top speeds and lap times.
Triumph has been an exclusive engine supplier to the FIM Moto2 World Championship since the start of the 2019 season. Triumph Motorcycles provides all the teams with race-tuned 765cc triples, each of which is based on Street Triple RS powerplant. Redefining the class, Triumph broke record with the first ever 300kph-plus Moto2 top speed.
