- Triumph unveils the Triumph Triple Trophy prize bike for 2026 at the opening round of Moto2™ in Thailand; the #001 Triumph Street Triple Moto2™ Edition with a bespoke yoke engraving.
- Fans can vote for their favorite rider each round and enter a free prize draw to win their own #765 Triumph Street Triple Moto2™ Edition with a matching engraving.
- In preparation for the 2027 season, Triumph will begin testing 100% non-fossil fuels in the Moto2TM engines, assessing performance and durability.
On the eve of the opening Grand Prix of the 2026 MotoGP™ season, Triumph Motorcycles and MotoGP have pulled the covers off two exclusive Limited Edition prize bikes that will be awarded through year’s Triumph Triple Trophy competition.
The #001 Triumph Street Triple 765 Moto2™ Edition model will be awarded to the rider who delivers the most stand-out performances in Moto2 this season, as voted for by the fans. In addition, one lucky Triumph and Moto2™ fan will win the #765 model in a free prize draw for the 2026 season. With only 1,000 motorcycles being produced worldwide, the Moto2™ Edition features carbon fiber components, and these two bikes will feature an individually numbered and personalized billet-machined top yoke, making this prize even more exclusive.
At the official press conference at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand, Triumph’s Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent also outlined the next steps in Triumph’s sustainable fuel development program, ahead of the 2027 Moto2™ season when, regulations will mandate the use of 100% non‑fossil fuels. Following successful durability testing with 40% non‑fossil fuels last year, Triumph has now completed the majority of engine mapping and optimization work required to begin the next phase of testing. Throughout this year, Triumph and Moto2™ will evaluate samples of 100% non‑fossil fuels for both performance and durability.
Steve Sargent, Chief Product Officer, Triumph Motorcycles said: “Powering the Moto2™ World Championship over the past seven years has been a journey. From the first race in Qatar in 2019, we haven’t stopped working to develop the Moto2™ project. Together, we have completed 1,781,698 kms in the Moto2™ World Championship and all that mileage helps us to develop and introduce updates to further benefit on-track performance. Alongside improving performance, we are also committed to supporting the development of a sustainable future for motorcycling and motorcycle sport. So, as the championship moves toward 100% non-fossil fuels, we will be using samples of 100% non-fossil fuels to test performance and durability during this season.”
Sargent continued, “The Triumph Triple Trophy competition is also proving to be increasingly popular with fans and riders. With a record number of votes last year and thousands of fans entering the competition from around the world, we wanted to create a Triumph Triple Trophy prize bike that was another step closer to the Moto2™ World Championship machine. That’s why we’re giving riders and fans the chance to win a highly exclusive Moto2TM Limited Edition Street Triple 765. Customized with specially engraved yokes, the riders will be fighting on the track for the #001 motorcycle, while the fans will be entering for their chance to take home the #765 model.”
Alfonso Cartujo, MotoGP Sporting Director: “The Triumph Triple Trophy is a great way to connect with fans around the world, and it makes sure they feel part of the competition. Moto2™ continues to deliver exciting action, and we know that 2026 will be no different. It was amazing to see so many fans engage with the 2025 season, and congratulations to Mr. Ma from China who took home their own Triumph Triple Trophy bike. This year, it’s exciting to see these Moto2™ Edition models selected as the grand prize which makes the 2026 Triumph Triple Trophy even more special for the riders and fans to be involved in.”
RECOGNIZING STANDOUT PERFORMANCES SINCE 2020
Running alongside the Moto2™ World Championship, the Triumph Triple Trophy has celebrated standout performances since 2020, recognizing that there are more success stories during a Grand Prix weekend than just the race win. The inaugural Triumph Triple Trophy was won by Marco Bezzecchi in 2020, with Raul Fernandez in 2021, Jeremy Alcoba in 2022, Pedro Acosta in 2023, Ai Ogura in 2024, and Diogo Moreira in 2025 adding their names to the winners list.
Moreira, who was also crowned the Moto2™ World Champion, earned the most fan votes during the 2025 season and was declared the Triumph Triple Trophy winner after securing the decisive votes in the penultimate round at Portimão. He collected his Street Triple 765 RS the following week in Valencia.
FINDING THE TRIUMPH TRIPLE TROPHY WINNER
On the Sunday of each Grand Prix weekend, three Moto2™ riders will be shortlisted by a judging panel made up of representatives from MotoGP and Triumph for their standout performances on track. Fans can then vote for their chosen rider through the official MotoGP™ Instagram channel, and each rider will receive points based on the number of votes cast.
In reference to Triumph’s 765cc engine, points at each GP are awarded as follows:
- 7 points for the rider with the most fan votes
- 6 points for the rider with the second most fan votes
- 5 points for the rider with the third most fan votes
Once voting closes, the final order of the three shortlisted riders is confirmed, and the leaderboard is updated after each round.
For the second year in a row, fans can also register to win their own Triumph Triple Trophy motorcycle through a free prize draw on the Triumph Motorcycles website. A simple entry form provides the chance to win, and last year the prize was awarded to a fan in China.
The 2026 Triumph Triple Trophy begins on Sunday, March 1, following the season opener at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand, when the competition goes live and fans can vote and enter for the first time this season.
TWO WINNERS, TWO PERSONALIZED MOTORCYCLES
The two winners will each receive a highly exclusive Street Triple Moto2™ Edition, featuring the 765cc triple engine derived from the Moto2™ race platform. The #001 motorcycle is reserved for the winning Moto2™ rider, while number 765 will be presented to a fan at the end of the season.
This circuit‑bred model includes premium race‑inspired details such as carbon fiber side panels, a carbon fiber front mudguard, belly pan, and a carbon fiber silencer end cap that delivers a lightweight, high‑tech finish. It features a bold Moto2™‑embossed seat with a dimpled pattern for improved grip, a clear‑lens rear light, and a laser‑etched Moto2™ logo on the silencer. The striking Mineral Grey and Crystal White color scheme is paired with a vibrant Triumph Performance Yellow rear subframe and a matching rear wheel stripe for a distinctive race‑bred look.
Each bike is individually numbered on a billet-machined top yoke, which also carries Moto2™ branding, positioned alongside a TFT display featuring a Moto2™ branded start-up screen. This will be enhanced with a personalized engraving and Triumph Triple Trophy branding, reinforcing its unique, limited-edition status and collector appeal.
