Some major news broke out today regarding the Triumph Bajaj partnership announcement.
The newly-signed joint venture hopes to develop and supply the current motorcycle market with a new line of ‘outstanding middleweight motorcycles’.
The two iconic brands hope to penetrate more markets around the world by creating a name for themselves as well as rejuvenate the middleweight segment which has seen a decrease in demand.
Looks like Triumph is ready to develop some ‘outstanding middleweight motorcycles with the recent announcement of a global partnership with India’s Bajaj Auto Limited.
The two very well-known brands have decided to join forces in hopes to rejuvenate the middleweight motorcycle market of the world that is decreasingly losing its place due to lack of demand.
Based on the announcement made by the CEO of Triumph Motorcycles Nick Bloor, the partnership will hopefully benefit each other in filling the ever growing gap in the middleweight segment. The joint venture also hopes to supply the upcoming new Triumph bikes to more markets around the world.
Bajaj has already made its presence in Malaysia with the collaboration with the national bike manufacturer, Modenas. To the rest of the world, Bajaj is known as one of the major share holders to one of the most recognised bike manufacturers in the world that is KTM.
Below is the official press release regarding the Triumph – Bajaj joint venture.
