Triumph Motorcycles has welcomed former racer and riding coach, Zach Lurie to manage future Off Road models as well as support Triumph Racing activity in North America.
Lurie brings combined 25 years racing experience as an athlete, riding coach, and industry expert. As a child, Zach competed in BMX in the Grand National and World BMX events. He transitioned into Motocross racing at the age of 12 where he competed in Local and National Amateur Events before graduating to racing Professional Motocross, Arenacross, and Supercross.

I see true passion in every employee I’ve met at Triumph motorcycles. Mixing that passion with the iconic team we are putting together is a recipe for greatness when we go racing. Triumph is known globally as a premium motorcycle company, and I feel incredibly blessed to join the team on a journey to build the next generation of racing.”
