The First Competition Motocross Bike From The British Manufacturer
Single-cylinder 4-stroke of 249.95 cc, aluminum frame, KYB suspensions, Brembo brakes, 104 kg
Two and a half years ago, Triumph Motorcycles officially ventured into off-road bike development, initially collaborating with renowned riders such as Ivan Cervantes and the legendary Ricky Carmichael. After intensifying its communication efforts in recent months, the Hinckley-based manufacturer now officially unveils the outcome of its labor by providing a detailed presentation of the 2024 Triumph TF 250-X motocross bike.
The 249.95 cc single-cylinder engine was showcased a few weeks ago. This compact, lightweight four-stroke engine, designed for competition, boasts premium components such as its forged aluminum piston, titanium valves, diamond-like carbon internal coatings, magnesium casings, and the Exedy Belleville clutch.
It comes with the MX Tune Pro Triumph app, enabling precise adjustments to the bike’s power. The app offers diagnostic features and real-time mapping options, providing 10 selectable settings with customizable adjustments to fuel injection and ignition.
The engine is housed within an aluminum twin-spar central beam frame designed to strike a balance between weight, flexibility, and performance. The bike proudly boasts an impressively low weight, tipping the scales at only 104 kg fully fueled.
The frame features a front-end inverted KYB AOS 48mm fork supported by 7075-T6 forged and machined aluminum triple clamps, along with a rear shock, both from the same Japanese manufacturer. Both components are fully adjustable for optimal customization.
The braking system also boasts high-end components, featuring a dual-piston Brembo front caliper and a single-piston rear caliper biting into Galfer discs measuring 260 mm and 220 mm, respectively.
The wheels also uphold the premium standard, featuring DirtStar 7000 Series aluminum rims, machined aluminum hubs, and Pirelli Scorpion MX32 mid-soft tires.
The bike’s technical package can be further enhanced with various racing accessories, including a titanium Akrapovic exhaust system, an Xtrig holeshot kit, an Athena LC-GPA launch control module, a Performance Gripper seat and cover, as well as replacement fairings, among other options.
Presented in a black and yellow color scheme, the TF 250-X is announced at a price of $9,995 and is already available for purchase. Sales will be facilitated through select motocross-specialized dealerships, which will also offer maintenance services for spare parts. Triumph’s off-road dealerships are set to open from next spring, coinciding with the delivery of the initial batch of machines.
The TF 250-X marks just the beginning as Triumph continues its off-road focus next year, unveiling the TF 450-X along with an entire range of enduro bikes.
