We are proud to announce Triumph Motorcycles has been chosen as the exclusive engine supplier to the Moto2TM Championship from the 2019 season onwards.
A three-year deal was recently signed with Dorna - the commercial rights holder of MotoGPTM - to supply a race tuned 765cc Triumph triple engine that’s been developed and tuned for a major step up in power and torque.
Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer for Triumph Motorcycles, said; “This is a significant moment for Triumph that brings an exciting new chapter to our 109-year racing history and builds on our celebrated TT and Supersports race winning triple engines.
We look forward to a long and thrilling relationship with Dorna and the Moto2TM teams, riders and fans.”
The Engine
The race specification Triumph 765cc Moto2™ engine, based on the powerplant that fuels the 2017 Triumph Street Triple RS, has been developed to allow the engine to breathe more freely and rev harder than the production bike; increasing overall performance. Other changes have been made specifically to adapt the engine for race use, including these modifications:
The new Moto2™ engine is a significant development of the race-winning Daytona 675R engine that has powered supersports wins at the Isle of Man TT, Daytona 200 and British Supersports Championships in 2014 and 2015.
