Isle of Man TT '25

We’re home again after another unforgettable year on the world’s most captivating island.

The Isle of Man TT 2025 has wrapped - and honestly, it felt like it flew by faster than Michael Dunlop setting his new Supertwin lap record. Two weeks of jaw-dropping racing, wildly unpredictable weather, and catching up with both old friends and new faces. What more could we ask for?

RT x TT

This year marked Red Torpedo’s 16th TT, and once again, it didn’t disappoint. We met an incredible wave of new customers while reconnecting with the familiar ones who’ve been with us since the beginning. Don’t get us wrong - we love seeing the OGs - but there’s something truly special about introducing the brand to someone for the first time.

That moment when they run their hands over the fabric and say, “Wow, have you felt the quality of this?” - it gets us every time. It's those genuine reactions that make the long days, late nights, and every ounce of effort totally worth it.

We were absolutely buzzing with the response to our new Oversize Collection - especially the now-famous Melt t-shirt. It's quickly become a solid favourite among the entire team. The cheeky slogan, “Stop being such a melt,” turned plenty of heads and sparked more than a few laughs, drawing people into the stand. It was such a hit, we completely sold out! But don’t worry - Melt will be making its way online in the next couple of weeks.

First Timers

If you’re a regular at the TT, you might have noticed a few new faces at our stand during practice week. This was Joe’s second year at the event, but it was Laura’s first time working at the legendary Grandstand on Glencrutchery Road. While the weather didn’t exactly play nice, the magic of the Island more than made up for it - as it always does.

Despite the mixed weather, the two of them absolutely smashed it. In fact, Joe’s now calling Laura his “lucky charm” when it comes to working the stand - and honestly, we’re inclined to agree.

Dean does the Double

Well, well, well... After a 10-year hiatus, Honda came roaring back - securing not one, but two Superstock wins at this year’s Isle of Man TT.

Dean Harrison was absolutely unstoppable, taking the top spot in both races and bringing home his 4th and 5th TT titles overall.

His final lap on the Honda Fireblade was nothing short of breathtaking, clocking an average speed of 135.692mph. We’re absolutely over the moon for Deano and his family - what a moment, what a machine, and what a rider.

Paul Jordan's P3

Although it wasn’t the way anyone hopes to claim a podium, Paul was officially awarded 3rd place in the Metzeler Supertwin TT Race 1 following the disqualification of Michael Evans. While it meant he missed the chance to celebrate in the winner’s enclosure with his team, the achievement is no less deserved.

Racing with Jackson Racing powered by Prosper2, Paul had an outstanding couple of weeks on the Island - setting personal bests in every class he entered. His TT 2025 campaign included two 4th-place finishes, a 10th, and a 12th, capping off what was undeniably a standout performance.

A Moment for Michael

33 WINS. Yup, you read that right - 33 Isle of Man TT titles now belong to Michael Dunlop. What an unbelievable achievement.

Continuing his unbeaten streak in the Supersport class since 2022, Dunlop dominated both races once again this year. Not stopping there, he also swept both Supertwin races, setting a blistering new lap record of 123.056 mph on the final lap of Race 2. He was simply untouchable - crossing the line a commanding 26.775 seconds ahead of Davey Todd.

Hilliar and Herbertson Podium

It’s no secret that James Hillier and Dominic Herbertson faced a serious setback ahead of the 2025 Isle of Man TT. With WTF Racing pulling the plug on their road racing plans just over a month before the event, the odds were stacked against them. That’s what made their podium finishes all the more special.

Riding for Bournemouth Kawasaki, Hillier powered his way to 3rd place in the Monster Energy Supersport TT Race 1. Meanwhile, Herbertson matched that with a brilliant P3 finish in the Entire Cover Insurance Supertwin TT Race 2.

Being there as they rolled into the winner’s enclosure was truly unforgettable - the roar of the crowd said it all. A moment of resilience, talent, and triumph.

The Manxies open their Homes

With the weather throwing its fair share of challenges this year, one thing stood out more than ever - the generosity of the Manx community. 

Time and again, locals opened their doors to help soaked and windswept campers across the Island.

Whether it was offering a dry couch to catch up on sleep or helping out with laundry, their kindness didn’t go unnoticed. When you’re on the Isle of Man, you’re never alone - the people there are always ready to lend a hand.

Final Note

Our thoughts are with those who were injured during this years Isle of Man TT, and we sincerely hope for your full and speedy recovery.

A big thank you to the organisers and, most importantly, the Orange Army - without whom this event wouldn’t have been possible.

We’re already counting down the days to TT ’26. No matter how long the wait feels, the moment we step off the ferry, it’s like we never left.

A massive thank you to everyone who stopped by - whether you shopped, chatted, or just came over to say hello. It truly means the world to all of us at Red Torpedo. Your support keeps us rolling, and we can’t wait to do it all over again next year.
