Triumph signs former Hard Enduro champion, Jonny Walker
When people hear the name ‘Johnnie Walker’, the first thing that comes to mind is the famous whiskey distiller where the Black Label, Green Label and Blue Label come from. But, when enduro riders hear the name – with a slightly different spelling – it's about one of the finest enduro riders who have ever graced the sport – and this rider now rides for one of the finest motorcycle brands the British have ever produced.
Just recently, Triumph Racing Enduro Team has announced the signing of elite enduro racer Jonny Walker. The Red Bull athlete is set to take on the full upcoming 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship, as well as select hard enduro and EnduroGP events, and a wildcard ride in this year’s AMA EnduroCross series. After three consecutive runner-up finishes in SuperEnduro, the Brit is targeting the top step of the podium in 2025 under the guidance of newly appointed Team Manager, and motorsport legend Paul Edmondson.
With a background in trials and over 15 years of enduro racing under his belt, Jonny brings a wealth of experience to Triumph Racing. As a three-time Red Bull Erzbergrodeo winner and multiple SuperEnduro race victor, he has proven his ability to win at the highest level. Under the leadership of former world champion Paul Edmondson, Jonny is focused on capturing his first world championship title with Triumph Racing.
Jonny is set to make his competitive debut on his TF 250 at the Indoor Enduro of Champions at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on 5 October, before getting stuck into the 2025 SuperEnduro season.
“I’m really excited to join Triumph! To be the first rider to represent Triumph Racing in enduro is special. It’s amazing to be part of the team, and I’m looking forward to working with Triumph going forward. My bike feels great already, which makes my job a lot easier!”, said the 33-year-old Walker.
“The signing of Jonny is the icing on the cake! The fact we can offer a great bike with full factory support means, to me, that there’s only one way for him to go – fighting for race wins and championships. It is a great signing in many ways, and we as a team are very excited to work with such a great rider and person with so much potential!” said Triumph Racing Enduro Team Manager, Paul Edmondson.
Jonny Walker brings with him his expertise as former title holder for the Erzbergrodeo, Red Bull Megawatt, MAXXIS FIM Superenduro, Hell’s Gate Hard Enduro, The Tough One Hard Enduro and the famous Red Bull Romaniacs.
