Triumph Makes History with Maiden Supercross Victory

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Triumph Factory Racing etched its name into AMA Supercross history books with a stunning victory at the fourth round of the 2025 championship in Glendale, Arizona. Jordon Smith piloted the TF 250-X to a dominant win, marking the manufacturer's first-ever supercross triumph in just its 13th race. This remarkable achievement comes less than a year after Triumph's competitive debut in the sport.

The Glendale round, the first Triple Crown event of the season, saw Smith consistently near the front. His 2-3 finishes in the first two races of the three-race format positioned him perfectly for a final charge. Aided by the impressive power of his TF 250-X, Smith rocketed into the lead from his second-place start in the final race and controlled the field to secure the historic win.

Smith's victory underscores the rapid progress made by Triumph Factory Racing in its sophomore AMA Supercross season. The win propels Smith to second in the 250SX West championship standings, a mere two points behind the leader.

With the 250SX West series now on a break, Triumph Factory Racing is gearing up for the start of the 250SX East championship. Next weekend, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, Austin Forkner will make his highly anticipated debut for the team, aiming to launch his own championship campaign.

Jordon Smith said: ''This is unbelievable, man. Huge thanks to the whole team – everyone –

as we made great decisions all day. Everything was just perfect. It was a flawless day. It

feels incredible to get the first win for Triumph and we are only just getting started. The only

way is up from here.''

Jeremy Coker – General Manager, Triumph Racing America added: ''What an amazing

night! To be a part of this history is something special. To get the first win in the way that we

did – and as fast as we did – is amazing. People do not understand that we have not even

raced this bike for a whole year, nor have we scratched the surface. There will be many

more of these in the future. I want to thank Triumph for putting their trust in me and

assembling such a fantastic team.''

Ian Kimber – Head of Global Racing Programmes commented: “What an incredible night!

Jordon and the team have made history in the sport for Triumph! We’ve accomplished a lot

in the short time we’ve been competing with the TF 250-X in SuperMotocross – from building

a world-class facility, putting together a race team, to developing bikes in a new segment for

our company that can compete with the best at the highest level of Supercross competition.

“Tonight saw everything that we have been working towards come together, and I know that

everyone in the factory is going to be immensely proud of this achievement. We’d like to say

a huge thank you to our partners and everyone that’s been involved with this project; let’s

enjoy this moment to celebrate this huge success.”

Nick Bloor – CEO, Triumph Motorcycles concluded: “What a great moment for Triumph!

Jordon standing on the top step is testament to the dedication of all our staff who work on

our off-road projects. The team has worked incredibly hard to get to this point, and this

victory is the result of all of their efforts. Congratulations to the whole Triumph team!”
