Triumph Signs Huge Name to Factory Enduro Team
Johnny Walker will be riding a Triumph TF 250 in the 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship
Triumph has made Johnny Walker its latest big-name signing for 2025, as the Keswick native will be campaigning its TF 250 factory enduro bike in the 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship.
Alongside his exploits in the SuperEnduro championship, Walker will also be competing in selected hard enduro events aboard the TF 250. Those will be the all-new Triumph’s first taste of the world of hard enduros, and quite possibly the bike’s biggest test to date.
Walker already has around 15 years of enduro racing experience under his belt and is a three-time Red Bull Erzbergrodeo winner and multiple SuperEnduro race victor. He has also been a runner-up in SuperEnduro three times consecutively. He’s looking to change that in 2025, as he, and the newly appointed Team Manager, both have their sights set on the top step of the podium.
Speaking on his move to Triumph, Walker said:
“I’m really excited to join Triumph! To be the first rider to represent Triumph Racing in enduro is special. It’s amazing to be part of the team, and I’m looking forward to working with Triumph going forward. My bike feels great already, which makes my job a lot easier! It’s great to have Paul Edmondson on board too, he has so much experience, not only in running successful teams in the past, but in racing himself, which will be invaluable. Having a British manager running a British team, with a British rider, is really exciting and something you don’t get very often. Hopefully, we can make a strong start, put the bike on the top step, and claim some championships!”
Heading up the Triumph Racing Enduro Team is Paul Edmondson, who is one of the most well-known figures in off-road motorcycle racing. Edmondson is a four-time Enduro world champion and has already achieved huge success with his Fast Eddy Racing team in the EnduroGP championship. Edmondson has even spent some time on the silver screen, as he was 007’s motorcycle-riding stunt double in No Time To Die. Speaking about his latest signing, he said:
“The signing of Jonny is the icing on the cake! The fact we can offer a great bike with full factory support means, to me, that there’s only one way for him to go – fighting for race wins and championships. It is a great signing in many ways, and we as a team are very excited to work with such a great rider and person with so much potential!”
Simon (AKA Toad) has been working within the motorcycle industry for more than twelve years, and a member of the motorcyclist family since birth. Growing up around British-built single and twins, it was inevitable that a life on two wheels was on the cards, from a very early age!
