Triumph Motorcycles has capped off an exceptional first year in enduro competition, wrapping up its debut FIM EnduroGP World Championship season with multiple podiums, national titles and a string of standout results across the globe.
In its first full campaign in the discipline, Triumph’s all-new TF 250-E proved immediately competitive on the world stage. At the opening round in Portugal, the new enduro machine delivered four top-10 finishes in EnduroGP and two podiums in Enduro1, with riders Mikael Persson, Jamie McCanney, and Morgan Lesiardo quickly putting the brand on the map.
From there, the TF 250-E continued to impress. Across seven rounds of EnduroGP, Triumph-mounted riders collected 15 podium finishes in the Enduro1 class. Triumph Racing Italia’s Morgan Lesiardo finished the season third overall in Enduro1, followed by Triumph Factory Racing’s Jamie McCanney in fourth and Mikael Persson in fifth, despite the Swede missing the final round through injury.
A major highlight came at the penultimate round in Italy, where Lesiardo stormed to a 2-1 result in Enduro1, earning Triumph’s first-ever class victory in the EnduroGP World Championship and a second overall in EnduroGP.
SIX DAYS SUCCESS
Both Persson and Lesiardo also shone at the 2025 International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in Bergamo. Persson helped secure Team Sweden’s first podium in 17 years with a second place, while Lesiardo and Team Italy claimed an emotional home victory, adding even more silverware to Triumph’s remarkable debut year.
DOMESTIC DOMINANCE
Back home, McCanney wrapped up both the ACU British Enduro Championship and the British Sprint Enduro titles aboard the TF 250-E, while Persson finished runner-up in the British series. Over in Italy, Lesiardo clinched the Enduro1 national championship earlier in the season.
WALKER MAKES IT LOOK EASY
In extreme and indoor enduro, Jonny Walker kept Triumph on the box all season long, finishing second overall in the 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship after podiums at every round. Walker also took a stellar sixth place against the 2-strokes at the brutal Red Bull ErzbergRodeo, and backed it up with runner-up honours at the Red Bull Tyne Ride.
The British hard-enduro ace has since debuted Triumph’s new TF 450-E in the AMA EnduroCross Championship, winning the opening round with a 3-1-1 scorecard.
“AN EXCELLENT RESULT FOR A FIRST YEAR” – IAN KIMBER
“Launching our first off-road bike last year and going racing at international level was a huge step for Triumph,” said Ian Kimber, Head of Global Racing Programmes at Triumph Motorcycles.
“To finish our debut EnduroGP season with multiple podiums, national titles, and ISDE victories is something we’re extremely proud of. These results show the strength of the TF 250-E platform and the dedication of our teams and riders. For a manufacturer entering enduro for the first time, it’s an outstanding achievement.”
RIDER REACTIONS
Jamie McCanney:
“To race for Triumph in their first world enduro season has been an honour. I’ve worked with the team through development and to now race — and win — two British titles is special. Not many brands are this competitive right out of the box.”
Mikael Persson:
“It’s been a great season until my knee injury in September, but I’m proud of what we achieved. The TF 250-E has been reliable and competitive in every race, and helping Sweden to its first ISDE podium in 17 years was a huge highlight.”
Morgan Lesiardo:
“This has been my best season ever — winning the Italian title, the ISDE with Team Italy, and my first GP victory at home. The TF 250-E is light, powerful, and competitive in every condition. It’s a dream start for Triumph and I’m proud to be part of it.”
Paul Edmondson – Triumph Factory Racing Team Manager:
“Every bike has finished every day of racing this year — you can’t ask for better reliability. We’ve learned a lot and we’re already preparing for 2026 with a solid base to build on.”
Triumph’s entry into the enduro world has been impressive. With wins, podiums, and titles already under its belt, the TF 250-E has proven it’s not just a new name in the sport — it’s one that’s here to stay.
