Triumph Releases Specs & Pricing Of All-New TF 250-X Motocross Bike

[Advpulse]

It’s been a long roll-out for Triumph’s much-anticipated motocross bike, an ambitious project for the brand who back in 2021 announced their intentions to enter the highly-competitive enduro segment with a full factory-backed program committed to competing at the top levels. Since then, Triumph has opted for a painstaking slow-drip of teasers that have finally culminated today in the full reveal of their all-new enduro machine — the TF 250-X.

Developed entirely by Triumph in close collaboration with racing champions including Ricky Carmichael and Iván Cervantes, the fresh competition model is an all-new ground-up design. According to Triumph, the powerplant and aluminum chassis are ultra compact and light, with all the best components on the market already fitted out of the crate.

At the heart of the TF 250-X is an all-new four stroke performance racing powertrain with a forged aluminum piston and titanium valves. The engine also has diamond-like carbon low-friction coatings, lightweight magnesium covers, and an Exedy Belleville hydraulic clutch.

Advanced engine management and tunability is complemented by the optional accessory MX Tune Pro app, enabling riders to use real-time user selectable mapping, a real-time engine sensor dashboard, and live diagnostic functionality, through a controlled and programmable engine management system. 

Housing the powerplant is an aluminum chassis featuring a high-strength, lightweight spine frame with twin cradles, designed for the optimum balance of performance, mass, and flexibility. With a wet weight of 229 lbs (104kg), Triumph claims the TF 250-X sets a new benchmark for the best ‘power-to-weight’ ratio in the category. It also delivers a high level of tunability to suit different riders and styles. “Whether you’re a professional rider or an amateur rider, you will not be disappointed,” says Carmichael.

The TF 250-X features premium componentry throughout, which Triumph says comprises one of the best top-tier specification packages for a production bike in this category. KYB suspension tops the list, with 48mm AOS coil forks, forged and machined 7075-T6 aluminum triple clamps, and a three-way piggyback coil rear shock. The bike’s forks offer 12.2 in (310 mm) of suspension travel, while out back the shock offers 12 in (305 mm) of travel. Not surprising for a performance MX machine, the seat h is a whopping 37.8 in (960 mm).

The premium Brembo braking system features twin 24mm piston floating front calipers, a single 26mm piston floating rear caliper, and Galfer 260mm front and 220mm rear discs. The DirtStar 7000 Series aluminum rims and machined aluminum hubs are fitted with Pirelli Scorpion MX32 mid-soft tires. Finally, Pro-Taper ACF carbon core bars and ODI half-waffle lock on grips complete the set up.

Competition Accessories

In addition to the high level of specification already included as standard, Triumph has worked with premium brands to create a dedicated range of competition accessories to further enhance performance and capability. 

These accessories include:

• Akrapovič full titanium exhaust system
• XTrig hole shot device
•  Athena LC-GPA launch control module with rider-selectable enhanced traction control and launch control settings and LED engine speed indicator
• MX Tune Pro wi-fi module
• Performance gripper seat and seat cover
• Bodywork replacement kit

Triumph off-road dealers will also be stocking a new clothing range, available alongside the new TF 250-X. Launched by Triumph in partnership with Alpinestars, the range includes Motocross and Enduro gear.

Specialist Triumph MX Dealers

From Spring 2024, specialist Triumph Off-Road / Dual Sport dealers will begin carrying the new Triumph off-road product. These Triumph dealers will be fully trained to provide a comprehensive sales, service, parts, clothing, and race support experience that meets the needs and expectations of off-road riders.

This network will be backed up with a unique 24/7 parts and accessories supply system. Available from the Triumph website, the new electronic parts and accessory catalog will be fully optimized for mobile, so riders can search for parts and place orders while out at the track. Riders can select what they need, check availability and price, and place an order for express delivery, standard delivery, or click and collect from their local Triumph off-road dealer.  

Racing Plans

Triumph has announced they will field the all-new TF 250-X motorcycles in the 2024 World Championship and we can’t wait to see their new enduro weapon in action. Triumph Racing will compete with a factory supported program set-up in partnership with Thierry Chizat-Suzzoni, one of the sport’s most experienced and successful team owners. Thierry will start his campaign with two of Triumph’s all-new 250cc 4-stroke MX bikes in the 2024 MX2 class, supported by Monster Energy.

Pricing and Availability

The TF 250-X will start from $9,995 USD / $11,495 CAD, and orders can be placed now at Triumph’s new motocross dealers, with bikes available for delivery from late Spring 2024.
