Austin Forkner, recovering from a serious crash and brain surgery, is aiming for a 2025 AMA SuperMotocross comeback. This year, he signed a deal with Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki, earning a base salary of $250,000. However, for 2025, Triumph is reportedly offering a significantly larger deal, as revealed by Kris Cooksey—whose latest rumors have proven accurate—indicating that Triumph is positioning itself as Forkner’s future destination.
However, this deal comes with significant risks for Triumph due to Forkner’s injury history and track record of incomplete seasons. The contract is nearly finalized, with only a few details, such as his gear deals, left to resolve. Triumph is betting big on Forkner, hoping his performance can justify the investment, but it remains a gamble on an uncertain future.
