Triumph Launches TF 250-E and TF 450-E
Two New Enduro Weapons Built for Competition
Triumph Motorcycles has officially entered the Enduro battlefield with the launch of two all-new competition-only models for the 2026 model year: the TF 250-E and TF 450-E. Purpose-built for off-road competition, these bikes mark a major milestone in the British brand’s off-road expansion—and they’re not holding back.
Developed in close collaboration with five-time World Champion Iván Cervantes and four-time Enduro World Champion Paul Edmondson, the new TF models combine cutting-edge engineering with race-tested experience. These machines were designed from the ground up to compete at the highest levels, including the EnduroGP World Championship, where Triumph’s official factory team will debut later this year.
Two Power Options. One Purpose: Win.
At the heart of both bikes are brand-new Triumph-built engines—precision-engineered to deliver top-tier performance across technical terrain and high-speed sections alike.
- The TF 250-E features a single-cylinder 249.9cc engine producing 41.7 hp and 20.5 lb-ft (27.8 Nm) of torque. With a redline at 12,800 RPM, it’s designed for nimble, controlled power delivery in tight, demanding stages.
- The TF 450-E brings the heat with a 449.9cc engine pushing 57.8 hp and 35.6 lb-ft (49.3 Nm) of torque, offering a broad, linear powerband ideal for open sections, climbs, and sand-heavy terrain.
Both powerplants are matched to 6-speed gearboxes with Exedy racing clutches and quickshifters, allowing seamless clutchless upshifts to maintain flow and control in race-critical moments. Dual engine maps let riders switch between aggressive and more controlled setups, and traction control adds another layer of confidence when things get loose.
Purpose-Built Chassis and Suspension
Both TF models feature an all-new aluminum spine chassis, engineered to optimize stiffness, mass centralization, and rider feedback. At the front, KYB 48mm coil-spring forks deliver precise control, while the fully adjustable rear shock provides 12 inches (313mm) of travel. Both ends are tuned specifically for Enduro performance, offering the ideal balance between bump absorption and sharp handling in demanding terrain.
The low center of gravity, refined swingarm geometry, and adjustable Pro Taper handlebars provide intuitive control across varied terrain—from tight wooded trails to fast, rocky fire roads.
Race-Ready Details That Matter
Triumph didn’t cut corners with the spec sheet. You’ll find Brembo calipers paired with Galfer discs, Michelin Enduro 2 tires mounted on D.I.D. DirtStar wheels, and an advanced digital dash with real-time data like trip distance, gear position, and engine temperature.
A 2.2-gallon (8.3-liter) fuel tank offers endurance-ready range, while the minimalist bodywork and Triumph Performance Yellow graphics make both bikes look as fast as they ride. The seat height is a manageable 37.6 inches (955mm) with a grippy non-slip cover, perfect for long hours in the saddle and technical transitions.
Now Taking Orders
Both the TF 250-E and TF 450-E are competition-only models, available exclusively through Triumph’s off-road dealer network in the U.S. and Canada. Pricing starts at:
- 🟠 TF 250-E: $9,795 USD / $12,395 CAD
- 🔵 TF 450-E: $10,795 USD / $13,295 CAD
Deliveries begin in June 2025, and Triumph has paired the launch with a dedicated Enduro apparel line in partnership with Alpinestars, as well as a full range of race-ready accessories including an Akrapovič silencer and custom graphics kits.
An All-In Move Into Enduro
This launch marks a major step forward in Triumph’s full commitment to Enduro. Backed by a dedicated factory team, world-class engineering, and an all-new platform built from the ground up, the brand signals its intent loud and clear: Triumph is here to race—and win.
