Shredding Sand - Triumph footage

Cool. But sand? Did they not have any regular tracks around?

What a hell of a practice track!!!! That will give arm pump 5k miles away

Thanks for sharing. 

Looks like the hammered loop at the back of Couches. These bikes sound pretty sick. 

Those things sound pretty raspy, i like it.

When do they release the 350 off road ver with a 6 speed transmission? 

2026

My back hurts now just watching that video...

I grew up riding tracks like that….no place to rest… standing almost all the time… great for fitness training… also will exploit any weakness in durability the bikes may have…

Watch his other videos, he has some that aren't on the sand track.

Tracks like that will also exploit any weaknesses in technique…that’s why I like riding them!  (Though they are hard to find around here.)

Exhibit A on why euros are better at Mx than Americans. 

Also will beat the shit out of even a durable bike

bikes sound freaking amazing

Dennis is a beast.

Bikes sound seriously good, love it! Was hoping they would both debut at Hawkstone International in February but looks like they couldn't get it worked out unfortunately.

That is Malaga (south of Spain) it is literally in the beach. Lot of euros train there during winter time when they come here for the weather.... 

Exactly. This is part of why so many MXGP riders have moved to Belgium. It really is impressive how fast MXGP racers are in the deep sand while still being able to switch to hardpack, loam, or mud with no problem. Incredibly versatile skill sets. 

Not many that aren't under water or snow this time of year. At least with sand, it drains and stays rideable. Also, a winter riding that kind of track will leave the rider and bike able to handle anything.

Can definitely stress components more. Today’s bikes with proper maintenance, pretty much a non issue. I would much rather ride a rough sand track than a rock hard, muddy clay track. We can go through periods in NY & New England where we get heavy accumulations of rain, without a sand track, you are not doing much riding, unless you like riding in a swamp. Most of our sand tracks can perk out large amounts of water quickly, many times I can ride the sand and not have to wash my bike or even do an air filter afterwards. 

Those bikes sound absolutely awesome.  If I needed another 250F at the moment, I might buy a Triumph just based on the sound alone.

Call me crazy but I kind of like the blacked out look, needs the bronze KYB forks though for contrast. The do sound healthy.
