Ricky Carmichael and Triumph Motorcycle to Launch New 450cc Motocross Bike: Reveal on 03.10.24

ATLANTA, GA – September 23, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Triumph Motorcycles has teased the launch of a new TF 450-RC at the SuperMotocross World Championship Final in Las Vegas, US.

Two advertisements, featuring Triumph Ambassador Ricky Carmichael riding the new bike on a track, as well as brief glimpses of the new bike static in a studio, were broadcast during the event and seen by fans at the event and watching from home on NBC.

In a tantalising voice over, Ricky comments: “I don’t just want to put my name on something. I want to build it from the ground up. If I back it, if I put my name on it, it has to mean something. This is our dream, that is finally, a reality.”

Fans have a few more days to wait for the full reveal, as Triumph promises details about the new model will be unveiled on 3rd October 2024.
