TM Racing was founded in 1977 in Pesaro, Italy, by Claudio Flenghi together with a business partner, growing out of a small engine-tuning workshop into a dedicated motocross and enduro manufacturer after debuting at the 1977 Milan Motorcycle Show. The company expanded into full enduro production by 1979 and built a reputation for competitive success, including strong results at the International Six Days Enduro. TM remains a boutique, largely hand-assembled manufacturer today - each motorcycle is built with close attention to weld quality and component fitment rather than mass-production methods - producing off-road machines across motocross, enduro and supermoto disciplines that are often described as factory-spec race bikes made available to the public, reflecting the small-workshop character the company has kept since its founding.
