In a thrilling display of power, precision, and fanfare, Triumph Motorcycles unveiled their eagerly awaited 250cc motocross bike at the SuperMotocross World Championship Final held at the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, September 23, 2023.

  • Spectators at the event were treated to a spectacular show as two new Triumph motocross bikes made a grand entrance, accompanied by a dazzling array of pyrotechnics and fanfare that left the audience in awe.
  • The event marked the public debut of the production-specification motocross bike, generating immense excitement and anticipation among the motocross community.

The honor of piloting Triumph’s new motocross machine fell to none other than Jeff ‘Six Time’ Stanton, a legendary figure in the motocross world who clinched his last championship victory at the Coliseum.

Stanton, who currently serves as the manager of Triumph’s Adventure Experience in the United States, demonstrated the bike’s capabilities with finesse and enthusiasm. Joining him was motocross icon Ricky Carmichael, often hailed as the Greatest of All Time (GOAT), who showcased a bike featuring his unique graphics and non-standard specification components.

A significant announcement came during the event, as the date for the full reveal of the new Triumph 250cc motocross bike was unveiled on giant screens within the stadium. Enthusiasts and fans can mark their calendars for November 28, 2023, when all the details about this exciting addition to the motocross world will be unveiled.

Speaking to his fellow commentators after his exhilarating ride, Ricky Carmichael expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “I’m so happy to finally show the fans what we’ve been working on for the past 4 years. The bike feels great, it looks great, and it’s fast. I’m really pleased with what we’ve delivered, and I can’t wait until we can share the final details on November 28th.”

Jeff Stanton, reflecting on his triumphant return to the Coliseum aboard the Triumph, commented, “The Coliseum is a special place for me, and to be back here on the Triumph is an absolute honor for me. The new graphics look like nothing else in the paddock and give the bike a really sharp and distinctive new look that I think the fans are going to love.”

In conjunction with the bike’s unveiling, Triumph also launched its brand-new Triumph Racing website and social media channels. To stay updated on all the action and developments, enthusiasts are encouraged to follow Triumph Racing on Instagram and Facebook under the handle @OfficialTriumphRacing.

Tinjauan di beberapa kedai motosikal tempatan mendapati sudah mula menjual motosikal terbaru keluaran CFMoto, 250CL-X dengan harga jualan RM16,888. 

Meskipun belum ada pengumuman rasmi daripada pihak pengedar rasmi CFMoto di Malaysia namun ini antara beberapa ciri menarik yang terdapat pada motosikal segmen retro-naked itu.

Sama seperti CFMoto 700CL-X, versi 250 ini juga berkonsepkan DNA ‘neo-retro’. Hasilnya, rekaan keseluruhan menyamai motosikal gaya cafe-racer namun dengan sentuhan moden. 

CFMoto 250CL-X ini dikuasakan enjin satu silinder, 250cc dengan sistem penyejukan cecair yang berupaya menghasilakn 27.6hp dan 22Nm. Kuasa enjin pula disalurkan kepada tayar belakang menerusi transmisi manual 6-kelajuan dengan bantuan klac ‘assist/slipper’. 

Seperti 700CL-X, model ini juga datang dengan dua mod tungangan.

Antara ciri lain ditawarkan termasuk:

  • panel meter digital LCD
  • lampu LED penuh
  • fork USD
  • cakera brek depan dan belakang
  • ABS

Untuk rekod, tugas mengedar jenama motosikal CFMoto di Malaysia tidak lagi berada dibawah pengurusan pihak KTNS Holdings Sdn Bhd sebaliknya sudah berpindah tangan ke MForce Bike Holdings bermula Mac 2023.

Dalam usaha mencapai kestabilan terbaik terutamanya sewaktu menunggang motosikal pada kelajuan tinggi, Yamaha sedang menguji prototaip sistem stering terbaru pada sebuah jentera ‘dirt bike’.

Dinamakan sebagai ‘Yamaha EPS Steering Support System’, sistem terbaru ini menggabungan fungsi ‘steering damper’ dan ‘power steering assist’.

Prototaip tersebut menggabungkan ‘torque sensor’, magnet dan ‘actuator’ (penggerak)  yang kemudiannya bertindak sebagai ‘steering damper’  pada kelajuan tinggi dan ‘steering assist’  pada kelajuan rendah.

Bukan itu sahaja, sistem tersebut juga boleh bertindak sebagai radas pengimbang kendiri apabila digabungkan bersama IMU.

Menariknya, Yamaha telah pun aplikasikan sistem tersebut pada barisan model motosikal elektrik dan langkah terbaru ini adalah percubaan mengenal pasti sama ada sistem sama sesuai diterapkan pada motosikal berkuasa tinggi lain.

Menurut Yamaha, pelumba  AllJapan Yamaha Factory Race Team, Jay Wilson sedang menguji sistem tersebut pada Yamaha YZ250 dan YZ450F.

Recently we did an article about ten bikes we can look forward to in 2015. In that article we mentioned that we might get the Yamaha R25 in Malaysia.

Well guess what? We might be seeing it soon as just a few hours ago a friend of BikesRepublic, spotted and captured a picture of what looks like the Yamaha R25 being tested on the road.

According to MaztaGee, he saw three bikes with different colour scheames, white and blue combo like in the picture, white and red combo and a black unit.

The bikes were on the Guthrie Corridoor Expressway heading to Shah Alam.

The R25 is powered by a liquid cooled, 250cc parallel-twin engine generating about 36hp and 22.6 Nm of torque.

Currently being assembled in Indonesia, it was launched there last year where the bike orders quickly exceeded supply in less then 24hours of its launch.

More info as it comes, so keep on tuning into Bikes Republic.
