Triumph and Jalek Swoll Agree to Contract Extension

Triumph Factory Racing announced today that they have signed Jalek Swoll to a contract extension through the 2026 season.

Triumph Factory Racing made its debut in AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross in 2024, and Swoll was the teams top rider, finishing seventh in the 250SX East Division and seventh overall in Pro Motocross, which included a historic first at Unadilla where he finished third overall, giving Triumph its first overall podium result for the Triumph TF 250-X in AMA competition.

Prior to the start of the 2025 season, Swoll sustained a torn Achilles which sidelined him for Monster Energy AMA Supercross. The team said Swoll is focused on a “return to competition later this year.”

Jalek Swoll:

“I’m super-excited to announce my contract extension with Triumph Factory Racing. I’m also really proud of what we’ve achieved together since I joined the team and I’m excited to keep building on what we’ve delivered so far. I was in a really good place with my speed before my injury this off-season and I was ready to contend for wins, so when I’m back racing the goal remains the same. Being offered a contract extension while being injured isn’t something I’m taking for granted and I can’t wait to be back at the races with the team and showing everyone what we can do.”

Jeremy Coker – General Manager, Triumph Racing America

“The team is really excited to extend its partnership with Jalek. During the pre-season he was on track to show people what he’s capable of so it was really unfortunate that he got injured. Looking forwards, this new extension through to the end of 2026 with Jalek staying on the TF 250-X gives him plenty of time to fully recover and get back to racing when he’s 100%. Rehab of his Achilles injury is on track, but it’s something that you can’t really rush and at this stage we’re hopeful he’ll be back for the second half of Pro Motocross. Then together we can look forward to a full season of SMX next year. Overall, everyone involved is excited to have Jalek continue racing with us and I’m looking forward to seeing him back in action.”

Ian Kimber – Head of Global Racing Programmes, Triumph Motorcycles

“I’m really pleased to sign Jalek for another year with the Triumph Factory Racing team. He was an integral part of our first season and helped showcase what the bike could do. His off-season training was going incredibly well, and we were all looking forward to seeing how he could build on his inaugural season with us. Unfortunately, his Achilles injury during pre-season training meant we never got to see his potential on track this year. However, we’re fully supporting him through his recovery and return to race pace, and we hope to see him back on track for Pro Motocross — once again proving what he is capable of aboard the TF 250-X.”
