As the exclusive engine supplier to the FIM Moto2™ World Championship, Triumph Motorcycles provides all the teams with race-tuned 765cc triples, each of which is based on the class-leading Street Triple RS powerplant. With developments that allow the engine to breathe more freely, and rev harder, peak power output is more than 140PS (an increase of more than 17% over the production bike).
Recognising the closeness of competition and the depth of talent in Moto2, Triumph and Dorna also run the Triumph Triple Trophy alongside the World Championship with the winner receiving their own custom-liveried Triumph Street Triple RS at the end of the season.
A shortlist of three riders is selected by Triumph and MotoGP based on standout performances throughout each weekend and then the fans vote for their favourite on MotoGP Instagram stories. With reference to the 765cc engine, 7 points are awarded to the fan’s favourite, 6 points to the rider with the 2nd highest number of votes and 5 points for the rider in 3rd.
The 2025 season marks the seventh season of Triumph powering Moto2™ as the Exclusive Engine Supplier.
During the last six years, the Triumph 765cc triple powerplant has redefined the category, with constant development seeing new lap records being broken all the time.
2024 was one of the closest and most exciting seasons to date. The Triumph Street Triple 765cc engine powered nine different Moto2™ riders to victory, more different race winners than any other year, while 34 new race lap and all-time lap records were broken.
Sergio Garcia started the season strongly but it was his teammate, Ai Ogura, who came good after narrowly missing out on the title in 2022 and a challenging, injury affected 2023 season. The Japanese rider rose to the top of the 2024 Moto2 season and became the first Asia Talent Cup rider to win a World Championship and he ended his incredible year by also winning the Triumph Triple Trophy.
In 2023, Triumph powered Moto2 to 23 new race lap records and all-time lap records with increased revs, power and performance.
With a number of developments made by Triumph to the 765cc triple, in 2023 the engines now produce more power right through the rev range, all the way to a higher 14,400rpm limit (increased by 400rpm), to deliver better performance and acceleration.
More power and engine speed required stronger engine components, so pistons have a higher-grade material and rods, crank valves and springs are all new. Higher flow inlet ports and revised cam profiles enable an increased mixture flow into the combustion chambers and cylinder pressure and compression have been increased.
All this gives the riders more when it comes to lines and race craft, leading to more opportunities for overtaking and even better racing.
Fermin Aldeguer made history with his fourth consecutive victory in the 2023 season finale in Valencia, becoming only the second rider to win four consecutive race Moto2 history as he took 3rd in the Moto2 World Championship.
Tony Arbolino ended the 2023 season in 2nd. The Italian had a very strong start to the season and proved himself as the rain master but he couldn't captialise on his early title charge.
It was Pedro Acosta who was crowned the 2023 Moto2 champion, with seven wins and 14 total podiums throughout the season. He also beat the record for the most wins in the Triumph era with 10 to his name in total. The young Spanish sensation has now stepped up to MotoGP and is already proving his talent in the Premier class.
