TRIUMPH RACING STRENGTHENS PARTNERSHIP WITH AKRAPOVIČ
The partnership between Triumph and Akrapovič will be further strengthened in 2024 with the premium exhaust manufacturer supplying Triumph Racing’s global off-road racing program with its components, in addition to the strong commercial partnership the companies share. Triumph Racing’s FIM MX2 Motocross World Championship and AMA SuperMotocross racers will benefit from performance enhancing Akrapovič exhaust systems throughout 2024.
With all of Triumph Racing’s off-road athletes focused on a successful year of racing in 2024, all riders will compete with confidence knowing their machines are equipped with the very best exhaust systems on the market. Constructed from lightweight, high-grade titanium alloys, the Akrapovič exhausts that will be used by the team will ensure exceptional performance and reliability at the lowest possible weight. Complying with FIM and AMA sound limits, the Akrapovič silencer is finished with a profiled surface for additional strength and durability while producing a distinctive exhaust note.
The continued and expanded technical partnership also allows Akrapovič to work closely alongside Triumph Racing and their technicians to test, develop, and ultimately manufacture exhaust systems for owners of the new Triumph TF 250-X motocross bike.
Akrapovič is a world-renowned manufacturer of exhausts for machines used in many forms of motorsport. The innovative company designs and manufactures all of their exhaust systems inside their state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Slovenia using advanced technology and only the highest quality materials.
In off-road motorcycle racing alone, Akrapovič has claimed more than 100 world championship titles across all disciplines since the year 2000 . Most recently, and to underline the performance and durability of the brand’s exhaust systems in motocross, the machines ridden to victory in the 2023 MXGP and MX2 Motocross World Championships were equipped with Akrapovič components.
Slavko Alojz Trstenjak – Head of Akrapovič Racing R&D:
"This is a fantastic venture to be involved in, and we’re delighted to have been given the opportunity to work with Triumph Motorcycles. They’ve got a huge racing heritage and were one of the pioneers in the highest level of off-road competitions. We’ve been involved with the project since the early stages, and we’d like to thank Triumph Racing for its trust in the partnership with Akrapovič to develop a completely new racing exhaust for the TF 250-X. This trust has played an important role in the development of whole bike in terms of its performance package. We’re looking forward to seeing the bike perform in the fiercely competitive world of motocross. It’s an exciting time for all of us involved and as a company. The entire Akrapovič team wishes everyone at Triumph Racing a successful debut at the highest level of motocross and supercross racing and success as a competitive force.”
Ian Kimber, Head of Off-Road Programmes, Triumph Motorcycles:

When it comes to exhausts, Akrapovič was the obvious choice. Working with Akrapovič as a development partner for our off-road racing programme ensures that we can extract the best performance from our race engines. Akrapovič’s history in motorsport, together with their incredible knowledge and commitment to developing and building high performance exhaust systems, is industry leading.
