The very first production Triumph motorcycle went on sale in April 1902, starting one of the world’s most exciting motorcycling stories. It’s a story that shaped the motorcycle world we enjoy today and one that touched millions of passionate fans who share our obsession for motorcycling. In 2022, Triumph Motorcycles celebrates this landmark 120-year anniversary.
Building on generations of passion, performance, innovation and excellence, Triumph’s modern era began in 1990 with a completely original range of motorcycles designed and built in a brand-new, state-of-the-art factory at Hinckley.
