Triumph unveils new Triple Trophy prize bikes and announces sustainable fuel testing programme at Moto2™ opening round.
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 – to be won in this year’s Triumph Triple Trophy competition.
The #001 Triumph Street Triple 765 Moto2™ Edition model will be won by the rider who delivers the most stand-out performances in Moto2 this season – as voted for by the fans, and one lucky Triumph and Moto2™ fan will win the #765 model in a free prize draw for the 2026 season. With only 1000 motorcycles being produced worldwide, the Moto2™ Edition features carbon fibre components and these two bikes will feature an individually numbered and personalised billet-machined top yoke, making this prize even more exclusive.

In the official press conference at the Chang International Circuit, Buriram, Thailand, Triumph’s Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent also revealed further plans for the testing of sustainable fuels, in preparation for the 2027 Moto2TM season when the regulations require 100% non-fossil fuels. After successful durability testing of 40% non-fossil fuels last year, the majority of engine mapping and optimisation work has been completed to get the next phase of engine testing underway. This year will see Triumph and Moto2TM test samples of 100% non-fossil fuels for 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 for performance and durability during this season.
“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. Customised 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.”
RECOGNISING STANDOUT PERFORMANCES SINCE 2020
Running alongside the Moto2™ World Championship, the Triumph Triple Trophy has celebrated standout performances since 2020, recognising that there are more success stories during a GP weekend than simply the race win. The inaugural Triumph Triple Trophy was won by Marco Bezzecchi (2020), with Raul Fernandez (2021), Jeremy Alcoba (2022), Pedro Acosta (2023), Ai Ogura (2024) and Diogo Moreira (2025) adding their names to the winners list.
Moreira, who was also crowned the Moto2™ World Champion, racked up the most fan votes during the 2025 season, being declared the Triumph Triple Trophy victor after he was awarded the most votes in the penultimate round of the season in Portimão before picking up his Street Triple 765 RS a week later 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 comprising members of MotoGP and Triumph for their standout performances on track. Fans will then be able to vote for their winning rider via the official MotoGP™ Instagram channel, and each rider will be awarded points according to the number of votes received.
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 the votes have been cast, the final order of those three riders will be decided, and the leaderboard will be updated following each round.
For the second year running, fans can also register to win their own Triumph Triple Trophy motorcycle, in a free prize draw via the Triumph Motorcycles website. A simple entry form is all it takes for the chance to win, which last year was presented to a lucky fan in China.
The 2026 Triumph Triple Trophy gets underway on Sunday 1 March, following the season opener at the Chang International Circuit, Buriram, Thailand, when the competition goes live and fans have the chance to vote and enter for the first time this season.
TWO WINNERS, TWO PERSONALISED MOTORCYCLES
The two winners will each receive a highly exclusive Street Triple Moto2TM Edition, featuring the 765cc triple engine that can be seen on the Moto2TM track. The #001 motorcycle is destined for a lucky Moto2TM rider, while #765 will be handed over to a fan at the end of the season.
This circuit-bred model introduces premium race-inspired details, including carbon fibre side panels, front mudguard, belly pan, and silencer end cap for a lightweight, high-tech finish. It features a bold Moto2™ – embossed seat with a dimpled pattern for enhanced grip, a clear-lens rear light, and a laser-etched Moto2™ logo on the silencer. The striking Mineral Grey and Crystal White colour scheme is complemented by a vibrant Triumph Performance Yellow rear subframe and matching rear wheel stripe, creating 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 personalised engraving and Triumph Triple Trophy branding, reinforcing its unique, limited-edition status and collector appeal.
