Triumph's new 'adventure' motorcycle hasn't been the best kept secret, but the Hinckley factory has come out and officially confirmed its existence today.
Launching the new TriumphAdventure.com microsite, the page features a number of countdowns related to the drip-feeding of information on the new model.
According to the countdown, the first new update will take place on August 7 with new info concerning the engines, followed by chassis details on September 1 and then info on accessories by October 6.
The Triumph Adventure is expected to be offered in two guises, off-road and street.
The British motorcycle maker released a short statement today: "In response to articles appearing in the motorcycle press, Triumph Motorcycles can confirm that it is developing two all-new ‘adventure’ models, due for launch later this year."
Likely to be powered by a sub-1000cc three-cylinder engine, the new model will compete against middleweight offerings when it goes on sale as a 2011 model.
The new Triumph Adventure will be unveiled at the EICMA show in Italy in November.
