Motorcycle specifications TriumphTF 250-X 2024 A new assault

Triumph's motocross debut. Quite a gamble for the British manufacturer, which had never set foot in MX. For its new and highly promising TF 250-X, the brand has surrounded itself with renowned riders and a host of established equipment manufacturers.

Entirely developed by Triumph in close collaboration with champions such as Ricky Carmichael and Ivan Cervantes, this new competition model is a completely new concept. The race-bred engine and unique aluminum chassis are ultra-compact and super-light, with all the best components on the market ready to go.

Triumph wanted its MX department to be extremely responsive, so as to be able to react as quickly as possible to satisfy its future clientele. Its network of specialized motocross dealers will offer sales, maintenance, spare parts and a new range of dedicated clothing, supported by a 24/7 online spare parts delivery system optimized for cell phones, so that customers can place express orders directly from the edge of the motocross field

Motorization

Triumph has developed an all-new single-cylinder engine for the TF 250-X. With a forged aluminum piston and titanium valves, the engine also features low-friction diamond carbon liners, lightweight magnesium crankcases and a Belleville Exedy clutch.

The Triumph MX Tune Pro application enables the rider to fine-tune the power of the TF 250-X. It includes diagnostic functions and a choice of real-time mapping, with over ten selectable mappings, as well as injection and ignition settings. Designed to adapt the bike to riding conditions, it also provides information on maintenance intervals.

Aluminum chassis

The aluminum chassis features a double-cradle central beam, designed for optimum balance between performance, mass and flexibility. The total weight of the bike, 104 kgs ready to ride, will enable the new TF 250-X to set a new benchmark for best-in-class power-to-weight ratio. It also offers a high level of adjustability to suit different riders and styles.
