Triumph Motorcycles has reinforced its commitment to off-road competition by investing further in its Atlanta-based racing facility in the US. The British manufacturer has developed a brand-new EnduroCross track with racer Jonny Walker, which is being finalised this week ahead of the new season.
Triumph has once again brought in experts to construct the latest feature of its state-of-the-art facility, which already includes purpose-built supercross and motocross tracks, and new race workshops. With final tweaks currently being made by Walker, the four-lane circuit is filled with obstacles similar to those found in the AMA EnduroCross and FIM SuperEnduro World Championship series, providing Triumph with a specialist testing and training ground for racers competing on the TF 250-E and TF 450-E in arena-based enduro.

With the AMA EnduroCross Championship beginning in a month’s time, the new track will provide the perfect place for Walker to complete his pre-season training. The width of the track ensures that the British ace has multiple options to practice lines and obstacles, while refining the set-up of his Triumph machine. Walker will contest the full 2025 EnduroCross series, in which he enjoyed success last season while making Triumph’s debut in the championship at a select number of rounds. The Cumbrian racer will then head back to Europe to focus on the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship, which begins in December this year.
Expansion of the US race facility underlines Triumph’s commitment to its ambitious global racing programme that launched in 2024. The British manufacturer made its debut in the FIM MXGP Motocross World Championship and the AMA SuperMotocross Championship, finishing with a number of podiums in its inaugural season. Triumph then announced its entry into the FIM SuperEnduro series for 2024/25, and the FIM EnduroGP World Championship this season. Alongside its factory entry in the most prestigious off-road series, Triumph launched its production TF 250-X and TF 450-RC motocross machines as well as the TF 250-E and TF 450-E enduro models, which are available globally.
Jonny Walker
“I’m so excited to be part of this Triumph project building the new track, which will give me the best possibility to win the championship. I’ve been with the guys here over the last week or so while they’ve been completing the build and refining the track. Having this facility finished now means we’ve got a good four weeks of solid practice, which is something I’ve never had going into an EnduroCross championship. It will put us in the best possible position to go out and win, and I’m really excited to get to work.”
Ian Kimber – Head Of Global Racing Programmes, Triumph Motorcycles
“The newly developed Triumph Factory Racing facility we have in the US has all of the tools to help our riders succeed in their championships. We’ve been able to utilise it for both race training and testing for our supercross and motocross racers, but there was always the intention to also include enduro within what we offer there. Having such an established racer as Jonny on board means that we’ve been able to use his expertise to refine the perfect test and training facility for him, and future riders, competing in EnduroCross and SuperEnduro. This means Jonny has the ideal place to train ahead of the upcoming season and gives us easily accessible testing opportunities to put the TF 250-E and TF 450-E through their paces. It further demonstrates our overall commitment to our racing and development programme in off-road, and our intention to battle at the sharp end of the competition in everything we do. So far, we’ve enjoyed incredible success in such a short time since we began this programme, and it’s really exciting to see how we can evolve from our strong starting point.”
