Triumph announced
the TR5 Trophy in November 1948 at the Earls
Court Show. The new machine was intended for
clubmen riders wishing to compete in off-road
events and was based on the machines that the
works team had successfully campaigned in trials
and the 1948 ISDT. The 500cc engine featured
a square alloy barrel taken from the wartime
generator engine with early models retaining
the cooling shroud bosses cast into the cylinder.
The engine and transmission were housed in a
new, rigid, frame design which featured a shorter
wheelbase than standard. A high level, siamezed,
exhaust system and a quickly detachable headlamp
were fitted as standard and a range of parts
were made available to enable the owner to tailor
the machines performance to their chosen discipline.

The 500cc TR5 Trophy not only had a
sporting pedigree, it also had almost
timeless good looks, which make it an
elegant machine even today.

By the mid 1960's the Trophy had moved
away from its original dual purpose role
and had become a single carburettor version
of the Bonneville offering virtually the
same level of performance with a greater
degree of flexibility. For 1967 the Trophy
adopted the 9:1 compression pistons from
the Bonneville bringing its performance
even nearer to T120 and benefited from
a new oil pump with greater scavenging
capacity. Modifications to the cycle parts
were restricted to a new saddle and yoke
mounted steering lock following the introduction
of a new frame the previous year.

By 1969 model season the Trophy can
justifiably be described as a single carburettor
Bonneville, which is doing two excellent
models a considerable injustice. For those
seeking outright performance the Bonnie
reigned supreme, however for riders who
wanted flexibility without sacrificing
too much performance the Trophy with its
single carburettor provided the answer.

The 1970 season was the final year
of production prior to the adoption of
the oil in frame across the Triumph range,
consequently changes to the models for
that year were confined to detail improvements.
The Trophy continued to offer virtually
the same performance as the Bonneville
without the hassle of keeping two carburettors
in tune.

Triumph adopted a new oil bearing frame
for the 1971 season with revised styling
emanating from Umberslade Hall. The new
frame handled extremely well and was coupled
to effective, if somewhat difficult to
adjust brakes, the front being a twin
leading shoe design. Slimline forks and
short, blade type mudguards contributed
to the sporty appearance of the machine.
