History

The Triton motorcycle emerged as one of the most revered and iconic custom builds of the 1960s, born from the desire to combine the best elements of two legendary British brands—Triumph and Norton. Enthusiasts of the era sought to merge the power and reliability of Triumph’s parallel-twin engines with the superior handling and rigidity of Norton’s Featherbed frame. The result was a hybrid that offered unparalleled performance on both road and track.

The name “Triton” itself is a blend of "Triumph" and "Norton," symbolizing the perfect union of engine and chassis. Triumph’s engines, known for their smooth power delivery and distinctive exhaust note, paired seamlessly with Norton’s highly respected Featherbed frame, which had earned a reputation for its exceptional stability and cornering prowess. Originally built by backyard mechanics and racers, the Triton quickly became a symbol of the café racer culture that defined British motorcycling in the 1960s and ’70s.

Handcrafted and customized, each Triton is a unique creation, embodying the spirit of performance-driven engineering and individualism. Today, the Triton remains a highly sought-after motorcycle, revered for its raw, minimalist aesthetic and its historical significance as a symbol of British motorcycling innovation.
