TRIUMPH CONTINUES PARTNERSHIP WITH BACKCOUNTRY DISCOVERY ROUTES
With an ongoing desire to support adventure motorcycling around the globe, Triumph announced a continuation of partnership as presenting sponsor of the latest Montana Discovery Route (MTBDR) which showcases the Tiger 900 Rally Pro and an all-new Triumph TF 450-E enduro off-road motorcycle.
The collaboration underscores a shared commitment to supporting adventure motorcycling while helping BDR create more routes and develop valuable motorcycle travel resources that benefit riders and rural communities alike.
This new MTBDR documentary follows the BDR team and special guests as they verify and ride the route, capturing both the scale of Montana’s landscapes and the collaborative effort required to develop a route of this magnitude. The film also includes the next generation of BDR riders, including the sons of BDR co-founders, reflecting the multi-generational nature of the community and how these routes are often best experienced when shared.
A trailer has recently been released with the full-length expedition documentary making its world premiere during the MTBDR Route Release Event on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at the Ellen Theatre in Bozeman, Montana, before launching a nationwide film tour at motorcycle dealerships and clubs across the country.
