Triumph Originals
The global custom motorcycle competition Triumph Originals challenge is back. This year, teams from around the world will be creating original and iconic custom builds inspired by the theme: Time Capsule.
Seven countries. One challenge. A world of originality.
Triumph Originals is our global custom motorcycle challenge. This year’s theme, Time Capsule, will inspire Triumph teams from all over the world to create the most original and iconic custom builds.
Collaborating with a locally chosen custom house, each team will build a one-off customised Scrambler to showcase their innovative design, build technique and craftsmanship.
When the builds are complete, your vote will help determine which one takes the title of Triumph Original 2026.
The theme: Time Capsule
With such a celebrated and iconic heritage to draw on, this year’s theme should spark plenty of inspiration and originality.
We’re inviting teams to select a decade or defining era from the Scrambler’s legendary story, then create a custom build that encapsulates the style and attitude of that moment in time.
Inspiration can come from every corner of Scrambler history – from iconic races like the Big Bear Run, the 530-Mile Greenhorn Enduro, and the Bajaj 1000, to famous cultural moments such as Steve McQueen’s jump for freedom in The Great Escape, along with countless appearances across film, fashion, and television.

How it works
All of the countries taking part have chosen a Scrambler model and teamed up with a leading custom motorcycle builder.
Together, they’ve collaborated on a completely original design for a custom build - inspired by this year’s theme: Time Capsule.
We’ll be revealing their custom Scramblers this summer, when they’ll be judged by a panel of design and cultural experts.
They will then go through to a public vote, with both scores combined to determine who’ll be the ultimate winner and take the title of Triumph Original 2026.
