The Hinckley firm’s profits have grown 16% during the worst year for biking ever, and says it will plough that profit straight into new model development.

Triumph’s Product Manager Simon Warburton told MCN: “We’ve been very active in the last five years releasing new models.

“Apart from Ducati, everyone else has been fairly static.

“Three years ago we had 13 models, now we have 16, and despite the recession we have not cut our development program at all – I suspect other manufacturers have cut theirs.

“Our range will grow significantly over the next three years.”

First up? Triumph won’t confirm anything, but MCN believes a new Sprint, smaller-engined Tiger and lighter evolution of the top-selling 675 are all on the way.
