The Triumph home is where you can learn the whole narrative through their exclusive, interactive visitor experience. You can learn how they build motorcycles there, get up close to some of the most recognisable Triumphs ever made, and take in a magnificent collection of motorcycle memorabilia that has been assembled just for its visitors.
What does one of the most recognisable scenes in Hollywood film history and a plant in Hinckley, Leicestershire, UK, have in common? A beautifully repaired Triumph TR6 Trophy motorcycle is the solution. This is the vehicle that Steve McQueen’s character rides in The Great Escape, a suspenseful chase that ends with a risky jump. It is one of the amazing objects on show at the Triumph Factory Visitor Experience in Leicestershire.
Since 1902, the Triumph name has been linked to motorcycle design, competition, and popular culture, and its legendary position was established early on. Triumph’s involvement in the movies began with a cameo in The Wild One, where a gloomy Marlon Brando created mayhem on a 650cc Thunderbird 6T. Triumph vehicles were chosen by the military to see active action in both world wars.
Therefore, it comes as no surprise that thousands of bikers each year, including a number of well-known figures, choose it as their motorcycle of choice. They are all devoted to this British hero, from homegrown stars like David Beckham and Ewan McGregor to Hollywood heavyweights like Bradley Cooper and George Clooney.
Visit Triumph’s interactive visitor experience, located at the Hinckley factory site, to find out what all the hype is about. Visitors may get up close to the iconic motorcycles they’ve seen in movies like The Great Escape, Jurassic World, and Mission Impossible 2 as well as a variety of motorcycle memorabilia on display.
They can also go inside the factory for an unmatched insider’s look at how the machines are built in Hinckley, from the initial design to the last assembly.
The Triumph Factory Visitor Experience is so much more than simply a motorcycle museum; it tells the entire story of why people ride by assembling an amazing collection of historical and contemporary triumphs in motorcycle design, engineering, racing, and popular culture. The Triumph exhibition not only features classic and iconic motorcycles from Triumph’s lengthy and spectacular history, but it also showcases the incredible engineering technology that has helped Triumph become the top-tier motorcycle manufacturer it is today.
