Triumph Factory Racing and SKDA are proud to share a special ‘takeover’ livery this weekend with SKDA’s ‘Art Of Moto’ vision coming to life on Triumph’s factory Pro Motocross, MX2, Hard Enduro, and EnduroGP machines.
This is a press release from Triumph Motorcycles…
Triumph and SKDA, who have become one of the market leaders in dirt bike graphics, are showcasing their strong partnership as well as a celebration of being SKDA’s first factory agreement, which began with Triumph’s entry into the off-road arena. At just 18 years of age, Sam Morton, owner of SKDA, had a vision to become one of the premium brands in the world of motorcycle graphics, with the goal of producing true art within moto. From his Australian base, Sam and his team have since expanded into a global operation, while more recently curating designs seen on a number of high-profile race teams.
Through the partnership with Triumph, special livery reveals within the AMA SuperMotocross Championship have created some extra special buzz around the team and SKDA—from the meaningful St. Jude’s pink liveries incorporating the drawings submitted by children being treated at St. Jude’s hospital, to the impactful Call Of Duty and Military Appreciation takeover liveries, as well as the patriotic design for RedBud. Having partners that share a vision to be extraordinary outside of just the physical competition on track is important to Triumph and the fans of the sport, with each of these one-off designs carefully and passionately created by SKDA.
Going back to SKDA’s ‘Search and supply of the True Art Within Moto’ mantra, Triumph is excited to produce this exclusive opportunity for SKDA to showcase their work, but not just in one championship. This weekend, Sam and his team have been given creative freedom within the realms of contractual sponsorship agreements to produce something extra-special; the SKDA Art Of Moto Takeover has come to fruition. The Triumph Factory Racing TF 250-X, TF 450-X, TF 250-E, and TF 450-E machines competing globally at the Silver Kings Hard Enduro in Idaho and Pro Motocross round four in Pennsylvania, as well as the FIM MX2 World Championship in Italy, and FIM EnduroGP World Championship in Portugal, will feature the unique livery.
Jonny Walker—competing at Silver Kings—will be the first rider to compete with the distinctive look. Triumph and SKDA’s social channels will share more imagery of the bike design over the weekend in each discipline, showcasing the global partnership between the two brands.
Sam Morton – SKDA Founder & CEO: “Our partnership for Triumph’s historic off-road racing debut was founded on a shared obsession with premium execution. Entrusting us with their Factory Racing fleet for this aesthetic ‘takeover’ reflects the immense trust we have built. This is more than branding; it is pure art. By transforming these machines into high-speed canvases, we capture the track’s energy while honoring Triumph’s heritage. A vibrant artwork featuring sharp abstract patterns, electric cyan and magenta. Something new and refreshing. This creative freedom allows us to redefine factory race bike aesthetics, demonstrating our brands’ alignment in style, innovation, and leadership.”
Ian Kimber – Head of Global Racing Programs, Triumph Motorcycles: “The partnership with SKDA is a special one, and we are proud to unveil this exclusive takeover livery across all of our Triumph Factory Racing off-road teams competing this weekend. I think we can say that we have grown together; Sam and his team started with us from the very beginning. Triumph was SKDA’s first factory contract, which has evolved vastly as we have grown our factory racing program in off-road. Sam believed in us, and we also loved his passion and approach. We all know the way a bike looks is incredibly important for the fans and sponsors and to showcase the professionalism of our teams. SKDA has constantly delivered and has a shared vision to create something unique while remaining within the constraints of the agreements we have with our sponsors. The attention to detail in the designs has been something really impressive to see, and we’re proud to give SKDA an opportunity to bring their ‘Art of Moto’ mantra to life with the Triumph Factory Racing teams—we believe this has not happened with a special livery in off-road racing in four disciplines at the same time before, and it really connects our teams globally in a special way. We look forward to seeing the bikes on-track around the world this weekend.”
