September 18th 2010 is one date that Triumph fans and all motorcycle enthusiasts need to put in their diaries, as the British manufacturer will be putting on an unmissable festival to celebrate 20 years since the successful re-launch of this iconic brand.

Riders of all marques are invited to enjoy a packed day of entertainment at the Mallory Park race circuit in Leicestershire, with additional activities scheduled to take place at Triumph’s state of the art manufacturing facility nearby in Hinckley.

A full programme of on and off track activities will be laid on, with on track activities including a round of the ‘Triumph Triple Challenge’, special invitation races featuring Triumph’s class-leading Street Triple and Daytona 675 motorcycles, plus mind blowing shows from Triumph’s professional stunt riders. 

Off-track, visitors will be able to view the latest range of Triumph motorcycles, together with a selection of some of the UK’s best customised Triumphs.  Key bikes from Triumph’s history will also be on display, as part of a unique exhibition exploring 20 years of Hinckley. 

On top of this, there will be a host of opportunities for visitors to ride the latest line up of bikes from Triumph’s demonstration fleet, both on and off track, along with many other riding activities for visitors to enjoy.

Those looking to kit themselves out with top quality riding apparel will be in for a treat at the Triumph Clothing and Accessories Megastore, where there will be a host of bargains waiting to be snapped up, plus a first chance to purchase items from the 2010 Autumn/Winter clothing collection.

Triumph’s state-of-the-art factory, situated eight miles from Mallory Park, will be open for event visitors to take a tour of the fascinating facility where Triumph’s motorcycles are made.

The company has also promised a few exclusive surprises for fans making the trip to this special event and the party will carry on late into the night, with a full programme of live music planned.

The Rocket III Roadster, which received its world press launch in the UK last month, is the latest version of our cult 2.3 litre motorcycle that created such a stir when it was first introduced in 2004.
This new motorcycle features a sophisticated ABS system, blacked-out styling and revised ergonomics plus a new exhaust system for increased power and torque. The Rocket III Roadster now pumps out a mighty 221Nm – more than any other volume production motorcycle.

Also unveiled is the Bonneville Sixty. Inspired by the classic colour scheme of the 1960 incarnation of Triumph’s most famous model, the Bonneville Sixty is a limited run of 650 T100s featuring a unique two-tone Meriden Blue/Caspian Blue combination with hand painted pinstripes. Each motorcycle comes with a numbered plaque on the handlebar clamp and an individual certificate of authenticity.

The third special edition released at the show is the Speed Triple SE. Triumphs most famous model gains updated suspension and two-tone paint for the first time in its 15 year history.

Also on show are two new premium colour options for the Thunderbird cruiser.
The flamboyant Phantom Blue Haze and Phantom Red Haze Thunderbirds are hand painted at Triumph’s Hinckley factory and contain a high sparkle content that creates an impression of incredible depth in sunlight, transforming it from almost black to a vibrant blue or red.
The new colour options will be made available on a limited run of Thunderbirds in early 2010.
