Locci x BYD: Supermoto Meets Street Art
When supermoto culture meets graphic design, things get wild. We sat down with Locci from SME Crew to talk about his custom Husqvarna 701 build and why standing out matters more than fitting in.
The fifth British title
September 21, 2025. Lyng, Norfolk. Tommy Searle sealed the British MX2 Championship in the final round of the Motul ACU British Motocross Championship — at 36 years old, on the all-new Triumph TF 250-X, in Triumph's debut British MX season.
It was Tommy's fifth British title. After four British MX1 championships in 2016, 2019, 2021 and 2022, he stepped back to MX2 with the new Dirt Store Triumph factory team and answered every doubt the paddock had about a 36-year-old in the smaller class.
Triumph's first British MX championship — ever
Tommy's title is also a manufacturer-first. Triumph entered British Motocross in 2025 as a brand-new player in the segment. One season in, the British MX2 trophy was on the table — the first British Motocross championship Triumph has ever won.
18 motos top-three. Four overall wins. Zero DNFs across the entire season. That's how it actually got done.
Every kit out of the Backyard Design workshop
Every panel, every fender, every tank wrap on Tommy's race bike came out of our workshop. Custom Backyard kits on the Triumph TF 250-X, signed off by Tommy before each round, run through the season on the same 540-micron Flexlab vinyl that ships in every customer kit.
