Custom Triumph Bobber by Tamarit

Spanish custom shop Tamarit Motorcycles has created “Karma,” a Baroque-inspired one-off based on the Triumph Bonneville Bobber.

As the 159th build in their signature series, this project abandons traditional comfort to focus on a “rolling sculpture” aesthetic, utilizing what Tamarit calls their “Platinum architecture” to achieve a low, stretched, and aggressive stance.

Custom Triumph Scrambler 400 XC by FCR Original

French custom shop FCR Original has unveiled the “Triumph Escape,” a rally-inspired rework of the Triumph Scrambler 400 XC that serves as a rolling catalog for their new modular parts range.

Instead of a one-off build that requires heavy modification, this project was designed to showcase an entire ecosystem of bolt-on accessories that fit the Triumph 400 platform without any permanent changes to the bike.

Why Motorcycle Riders Often End Up Collecting Mechanical Watches

Spend enough time around motorcycle culture and you begin to notice a pattern. Many riders eventually develop an interest in mechanical watches. At first glance the two hobbies might seem unrelated. One involves two wheels and open roads. The other sits quietly on the wrist. Yet the overlap between the communities is surprisingly strong.

The connection comes down to something deeper than aesthetics. Both worlds celebrate engineering, craftsmanship and mechanical honesty. Riders understand machines. Watch collectors do too. When you appreciate how things are built, you tend to notice it everywhere.

Custom Triumph Scrambler 1200 by Crooked Motorcycles

Crooked Motorcycles, based in Southern Germany, has developed a specialized “MotoKit” for the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE, aiming to enhance the bike’s off-road and travel capabilities. Drawing inspiration from classic Dakar Rally bikes, the “Alps Edition” features a fiberglass front mask that integrates the speedometer, a high-mounted front fender to deflect dirt, and a unique seat system that allows owners to swap between a solo saddle with a luggage rack and a two-up seat in just minutes.

This modular approach provides a custom look and improved functionality without requiring permanent modifications, appealing to riders who want a unique aesthetic while maintaining the Triumph’s impressive 89-bhp performance and long-travel suspension.

The Triumph Thruxton 400 Launches in India

The classic café racer has always been a symbol of speed and style, a motorcycle stripped down for performance and defined by its distinctive look. Now, that legacy is getting a modern, accessible twist with the launch of the Triumph Thruxton 400.

I’ve written about this bike previously, and I’ll be honest, I’m pretty excited about it. It’s good to see Triumph deliver on what had been rumored and discussed for so long.

Custom Triumph Bonneville T100 by Heiwa Motorcycles

This custom Triumph Bonneville T100, born from the legendary workshop of Japan’s Heiwa Motorcycles. Kengo Kimura, the quiet genius behind Heiwa, is a man known for conjuring both wild showpieces and these delightful, everyday custom machines.

For this particular project, Kimura-san chose an older, air-cooled 2000 model Bonneville T100, packing a 790cc engine. A smart choice, as these are more accessible and perfectly suited for what he envisioned: a true “bar hopper.”

The Triumph Thruxton 400 Is Coming Soon

For too long, the Thruxton has been a machine of noble displacement. But now, a new chapter is set to begin, proving that big character doesn’t always need a big engine.

Word on the street is that Triumph is readying a pint-sized Thruxton for an August debut: the Thruxton 400. Born from Triumph’s clever partnership with Bajaj, it’s designed to bring that heritage, that feeling of pure, unadulterated motorcycling, to a wider audience, in much the same way the Scrambler 400X does.

Custom Triumph Scrambler 900 Named ‘Anet 157’ by Tamarit Motorcycles

Now, let’s talk about a machine that truly knows how to get its boots dirty, hailing from sunny Spain. This is “Anet 157,” a custom Triumph Scrambler 900, brought to life by the skilled hands at Tamarit Motorcycles for a fellow named Luiscar.

Luiscar, a man of patience and purpose, opted for the 900 over the bigger 1200, knowing full well he wanted some coin left over for a proper transformation. He admired its grit, its style, and its readiness for both the asphalt ribbons and the dusty trails.

Take a Look at the 2026 Triumph TF 250-X

The dust, my friends, never truly settles on the motocross track, and Triumph is once again stirring it up with their latest weapon: the 2026 Triumph TF 250-X. This is a dirt bike that is a finely tuned scalpel, honed for the cutthroat dance of the dirt.

They say you can’t improve on perfection, but Triumph’s engineers, bless their determined souls, clearly didn’t get the memo. This quarter-liter brawler, a beast that’s already been sniffing podiums in the brutal arenas of Supercross and MXGP, has been given a good going-over for the new season.
