Triumph Announces TF 250-X MX Machine

TRIUMPH REVEALS NEW TF 250-X

SPECIFICATION ANNOUNCED FOR NEW MOTOCROSS BIKE
TF 250-X has a class-leading power-to-weight ratio and the highest specification components
Designed and developed by Triumph’s world-leading engineers in close collaboration with motocross/supercross champions
Will be backed by a network of Triumph dealers and a new 24/7 online parts supply system

Triumph Motorcycles has officially launched the new TF 250-X, revealing a class-leading power to weight ratio and the most complete specification package ever to launch into the
ultra-competitive 250cc motocross market. Developed entirely by Triumph in close collaboration with racing champions including Ricky Carmichael and Iván Cervantes, the new four-stroke competition model is an all-new ground-up design. The performance racing powertrain and unique aluminum chassis are ultra-compact and super light, with all the best components on the market, already fitted out of the crate.
With a focused and aggressive style, the TF 250-X is slim, yet bold. It will be instantly recognizable on the track, with its minimal and lightweight presence and distinctive Triumph
Racing Yellow and Black graphics scheme. A network of Triumph dealers will offer sales, service, parts, and a new dedicated range of apparel. The network will be backed by a mobile-optimized 24/7 online parts supply system, so owners can order for express delivery, straight from the track.

Triumph Motorcycles’ Chief Product Manager, Steve Sargent, said: “The launch of the TF 250-X is the culmination of a significant commitment and investment from Triumph, to not just bring a totally new bike to the motocross world, but to deliver a winning performance. To achieve this, we are focused on delivering the most complete package for any riding level, from champion to amateur. This bike is 100% Triumph, conceived, designed, developed, and manufactured by our world-leading chassis and engine teams, with expert support from our racing champions. We started with a blank sheet of paper and began an all-new ground-up design including a new engine, a new chassis, and new electronics.”

Performance Racing Powertrain
Triumph has developed an all-new performance racing powertrain. The new competition four-stroke single is ultra compact and super light, 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 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.

Aluminum Chassis
The unique aluminum chassis has a high-strength, lightweight spine frame with twin cradles, designed for the optimum balance of performance, mass, and flexibility. The total weight of the bike will see the new TF 250-X set 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.

Top Tier Specification

The TF 250-X features premium, top tier componentry throughout, adding up to an unrivalled specification 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 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 boots and apparel.

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.
