The partnership between Triumph and Akrapovič will be further strengthened in 2024, with the Slovenian exhaust manufacturer supplying Triumph Racing’s global off-road racing program with its exhaust systems.
Using innovative design and construction techniques, the Akrapovič exhausts that will be used by Triumph Racing’s teams are constructed from lightweight, high-grade titanium alloys and will ensure optimum performance and reliability with the lowest possible weight. Complying with FIM and AMA sound limits, the Akrapovič muffler is finished with a profiled surface for additional strength and durability while producing a distinctive exhaust note. With all of Triumph Racing’s off-road athletes focused on a successful year of racing in 2024, Triumph Racing’s FIM MX2 Motocross World Championship and AMA SuperMotocross racers will benefit from performance-enhancing Akrapovič exhaust systems throughout the year. The continued and expanded technical partnership – in addition to the strong commercial collaboration the companies share – also allows Akrapovič to work closely alongside Triumph Racing and its technicians to test, develop, and ultimately manufacture exhaust systems for owners of the new Triumph TF 250-X motocross bike. In off-road motorcycle racing alone, Akrapovič has claimed more than one hundred world championship titles across all disciplines since the year 2000. Most recently, highlighting 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 exhaust systems.
Ian Kimber, Head of Off-Road Programmes, Triumph Motorcycles:“Developing a competitive racing programme relies not just on the dedication of our engineers, teams, and racers, but also on building partnerships with the best companies in our industry. When it comes to exhausts, Akrapovič was the obvious choice. Working with Akrapovič as a development partner for our offroad 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. With the belief that Akrapovič has shown in our racing programme, we are very excited and looking forward to our debut season in 2024.” 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.”
