The fourth round of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship will live on as a historic moment in sport: Triumph Factory Racing won its first AMA Supercross race via a superb effort from Jordon Smith on the TF 250-X. The manufacturer, competing in just its 13th supercross event, has climbed to the pinnacle of off-road, less than one year after its competitive debut.
Glendale, Arizona, hosted the fourth round and the first Triple Crown of the 2025 season. Smith started the three-race format with 2-3 scores and was positioned to capitalise when the final stint launched into life. Starting second, thanks to the competitive power of his TF 250-X, he quickly moved into the lead and controlled the race to win.

It was a terrific ride and one that underlined the leap forward that Triumph Factory Racing has made in its sophomore AMA Supercross season. Now a supercross winner in Triumph colours, Smith’s moved to second in the 250SX West championship standings. Just two points separate him from the red plate.
With a break in the 250SX West calendar, Austin Forkner is set to make his Triumph Factory Racing debut and launch his own title bid as 250SX East kicks off next weekend at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

“This is unbelievable, man. Huge thanks to the whole team – everyone – as we made great decisions all day. Everything was just perfect. It was a flawless day. It feels incredible to get the first win for Triumph and we are only just getting started. The only way is up from here.”
Jeremy Coker – General Manager, Triumph Racing America
“What an amazing night! To be a part of this history is something special. To get the first win in the way that we did – and as fast as we did – is amazing. People do not understand that we have not even raced this bike for a whole year nor have we scratched the surface. There will be many more of these in the future. I want to thank Triumph for putting their trust in me and assembling such a fantastic team.”
Ian Kimber – Head of Global Racing Programmes, Triumph Motorcycles
“What an incredible night. Tonight Jordon and the team made history in the sport for Triumph! We’ve accomplished a lot in the short time we’ve been competing with the TF 250-X in SuperMotocross; from building a world class facility, putting together a race team, to developing bikes in a new segment for our company that can compete with the best at the highest level of Supercross competition. Tonight saw everything that we have been working towards come together and I know that everyone in the factory is going to be immensely proud of this achievement. We’d like to say a big thanks to our partners and everyone that’s been involved with this project; let’s enjoy this moment to celebrate this huge success.”
Nick Bloor – CEO, Triumph Motorcycles
“What a great moment for Triumph! Jordon standing on the top step is testament to the dedication of all of our staff who work on our off-road projects. The team has worked incredibly hard to get to this point and this victory is the result of all of their efforts. Congratulations to the whole Triumph team!”
