Saturday, September 23, 2023, marked the SuperMotocross World Championship season final, held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Fittingly, that event is also where Triumph Motorcycles held the very first public reveal of its 250cc motocross machine. Those who attended the event in person got a little something extra as part of the show—but don’t worry if you couldn’t make it, because there’s video.
If you’ve been following Triumph’s motocross developments, you already know that Ricky Carmichael has been involved since the beginning. He was one of two riders to take Triumph’s new bikes out for some air at the SMX event, with Jeff “Six Time” Stanton helming the production bike for the assembled crowds. While Stanton’s bike was what riders can expect to see when the production bike rolls out in the future, Carmichael’s bike had a few unspecified modifications, as well as his own graphics on display.
