TRIUMPH CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF EVEL KNIEVEL’S “ROCKET JUMP” WITH CUSTOMIZED MOTORCYCLES

Triumph Motorcycles celebrated the 50th anniversary of Evel Knievel’s iconic “Rocket Jump” with a series of customized motorcycles.

During the event, a Triumph Bonneville T120, decorated to commemorate Knievel’s bike, was ridden by Evel’s son, Kelly Knievel. Other bikes, such as the Triumph Rocket 3 and the Speed 400, were also displayed with paint schemes inspired by Knievel’s famous stunts.

Knievel’s “Rocket Jump,” performed in 1974 with a 400-meter jump over the Snake River Canyon, remains one of the most daring feats in history.

In addition to its strong presence in racing, Triumph has also made a mark in pop culture, with its bikes appearing in various films and franchises. The celebration highlighted how Triumph continues to honor its rich heritage and may be paving the way for a return to high-adrenaline sports and stunts.
