Triumph Motorcycles: As we cruise through 2025, the iconic British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph continues to push the boundaries of innovation, performance, and style.
With a rich heritage dating back to 1902, Triumph has consistently evolved, adapting to changing times while maintaining its core values of excellence and passion for two-wheeled engineering.
This year marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey, showcasing a lineup that brilliantly marries tradition with cutting-edge technology.
The Electric Revolution: Triumph TE-1
At the forefront of Triumph’s 2025 lineup is the much-anticipated TE-1, the brand’s first fully electric motorcycle. Born from the collaborative Project Triumph TE-1,
which brought together the expertise of Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Ltd., and WMG at the University of Warwick, the TE-1 represents a new era for Triumph.
The TE-1 boasts impressive specs that challenge preconceptions about electric motorcycles:
- 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds
- A range of over 120 miles on a single charge
- Fast-charging capability: 0-80% in just 20 minutes
- Power output equivalent to 175 hp
- Weight of just 220 kg, rivaling many petrol-powered sports bikes
What sets the TE-1 apart is not just its performance, but how it delivers that performance. Triumph’s engineers have worked tirelessly to ensure that the bike retains the characteristic feel and sound
that riders associate with the brand. The result is an electric motorcycle that doesn’t just move silently but emits a carefully crafted acoustic signature that pays homage to Triumph’s iconic triple engines.
