ATLANTA, GA – March 20, 2026 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Triumph Motorcycles is joining forces with Spanish freestyle MX rider Guillem Navas in 2026, as he gears up for his most ambitious and diverse programme of international competitions to date.

Known for his high‑altitude quarter‑pipe tricks and explosive aerial style, the three‑time X Games medallist has rapidly risen through the international FMX scene. His decision to ride the Triumph TF 450‑X this year reflects his drive to become even more competitive, capitalising on the bike’s agile chassis to push his progression and refine his performance at the highest level.

In June, Navas will line up at the X Games in Sacramento, California, taking on Best Whip and Quarter Pipe High Air as he aims to secure his fourth X Games medal. Next, he will be heading to France to compete in the 2026 Air Contest, at the Bud Racing Training Camp in Magescq. He will then turn his attention to the prestigious SX Paris, an arena event that consistently attracts elite global talent, before rounding off his schedule at South Africa’s King of the Whip.

Guillem will also take on a range of challenging creative projects aboard the Triumph, making full use of the custom jumps he builds at his own compound. These projects will feature motocross, freeride and ramp‑based sessions designed to showcase his versatility and highlight the breadth of what he can achieve on the TF 450‑X.

Navas has already earned three X Games medals and has showcased his talent on some of the world’s most progressive stages, including Red Bull Imagination and X Games. Guillem first turned heads with his breakout performance at X Games 2022, where he claimed bronze in Quarter Pipe High Air.

“Guillem’s creativity, technical precision and relentless drive to push boundaries are a great reflection of everything Triumph is striving to achieve in our off‑road programme,” said Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles. “His approach matches our ambition to set new performance benchmarks, and we’re excited to support him as he takes on the world’s most innovative freestyle events and continues elevating the sport.”

Guillem Navas commented: “On board the Triumph, I’m heading into 2026 ready to push higher, go bigger, and redefine what’s possible in Quarter Pipe and beyond. I’ve never felt this comfortable on a bike before. The TF 450‑X’s chassis is the most agile I’ve ever ridden, and it gives me the confidence to perform at my best and take my stunts even further.”

Navas’s 2026 programme is also supported by Triumph Performance Lubricants, which is providing its exclusively formulated range of oils, lubricants, and cleaning products. The top-tier synthetic and semi-synthetic engine oils have been expertly developed for amplified power, optimal engine protection and unwavering reliability in all riding conditions, providing Navas with even greater confidence to push harder during training and competitions.
