Triumph and James Bond Pair Up in “No Time To Die”

[DaveM]

Two Models are Featured​

The new James Bond trailer recently dropped and there are Triumph motorcycles in the film. Two different models. There’s the all-new Tiger 900 and the Scrambler 1200 XE. In the film cars and motorcycles play a prominent role. There are the usual Aston Martin vehicles, but there’s also the Triumph rides.

Bond rides the modified Triumph Scrambler 1200. There are also some bad dudes that seem to be featured on the Tiger 900. The bikes look absolutely stunning in the film and there should be plenty of good shots and chase scenes. I’m excited to see how bikes are used in the film.

Shortly after the trailer debuted, Triumph released a press release and some images of the bikes that were used in the film. They both have been slightly modified (no surprise there). The Scrambler looks to have a shorter exhaust and different handlebars. It’s a dark and cool looking machine. The Tiger 900 has a green paint job and some understandably knobby tires. It’s an attractive machine, too.

You can see the bikes in action in the trailer below. As I said, the focus of the movie isn’t on the bikes, but they seem to play an important role, though the cars are arguably more important for Bond, with their rich history with the franchise.

Great "product placement" for Triumph
Triumph is getting a lot of exposure in movies, on TV and in commercials.

Trailer looks interesting.
Triumph is getting a lot of exposure in big hits, like Rocky stated.
Lets hope it pans out for them in getting a bigger dealer network and a happy customer base.

The trailer piqued my interest. I want to see the movie.

Triumph has paid an undisclosed sum to feature in the 25th James Bond film, No Time to Die, but a Ducati Scrambler has stolen some limelight.

The price for product placement in a movie is up to about $A500,000, but for a Bond film it can be a whole lot more.

In fact, Heineken is believed to have paid $A65 Million to get Bond character Daniel Craig to sip their beer instead of a martini in the 2015 film, Spectre.

So we have no idea how much Triumph has paid, although boss John Bloor did confirm the partnership with the producers for No Time To Die, being released in April 2020.

The result is 007 riding a modified Scrambler 1200 in one chase scene.

So why is a baddy riding an 803cc Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled in the same chase scene?

Bond film espionage?

Has Ducati snuck in some free screen time in an apt case of Bond film espionage or did they pay, too?

Or is this a deliberate effort by Triumph to make their scrambler competitor look bad by being associated with buddies while their Scrambler is associated with the hero?

Bond movies are usually associated with exotic cars, but motorcycles have also featured over the years.

Most have been BMW vehicles, although there was a run of Ford-owned cars for a while, including Aston Martin.

Good to see Bond back in an Aston Martin DB5 for No Time To Die (with a Ducati in pursuit)

Remember the BMW R 1200 C cruiser in the Vietnam chase scene in the Bond film, Tomorrow Never Dies?

BMW has also dominated the Mission Impossible and Jason Bourne movie franchises.

Ducati is also not shy about product placement with the Venom and CHiPs movies.

And, of course, Triumph has probably the most memorable motorcycle scene from any movie.

Their TR6 was used as a Nazi BMW in the chase scene in 1963 film, The Great Escape.

Good post

 

[Greyfell]

Wowee! The bond film looks exciting!

 

[RockyDS]

The steps jump stunt is spectacular. It's a dirt/enduro bike modified to look like a Scrambler but still a great stunt.
