It has been a delightful ride for us in India with a great response from not only our customers and partners but also the entire riding fraternity who share our passion and enthusiasm. In fact we are proud to say that Triumph Motorcycles has been instrumental in bringing back another chapter of riding amongst thousands on enthusiast who had hung up their riding gear due to non-availability of exciting bikes here in India.” Said VimalSumbly, managing director.
The company has been aggressive right since they entered India and now has become one of the major players in their segments. This year also saw Triumph make one of its most strategic announcements for global as well as the Indian market. The company announced its partnership with Indian motorcycle maker Bajaj Auto, which will see the legendary brand build motorcycles in the 300-500 cc segment. The joint venture will see Triumph provide its technology, skills and R&D for the development of the motorcycles while Bajaj will bring forth its cost effective manufacturing techniques that have worked so well in the KTM partnership. The first results of the Triumph-Bajaj partnership are expected to roll out by 2021 and will be global motorcycles.
