Triumph Motorcycles has officially launched the all-new TF 250-X and at $13,750 it looks the goods.
Triumph Motorcycles has officially launched the all-new TF 250-X, revealing a class-leading power-to-weight ratio.
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 aluminium chassis are ultra-compact and super-light, with all the best components on the market, already fitted out of the crate.
With a focused, aggressive style, the TF 250-X is slim and will be instantly recognisable on the track with its minimal and lightweight presence and distinctive Triumph Racing Yellow and black graphics scheme.
Triumph dealers will be offering sales, servicing, parts and a new dedicated range of apparel, backed by a mobile-optimised 24/7 online parts supply system, so customers can order for express delivery.
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 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 per cent 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, new chassis and new electronics.”
Performance Racing Powertrain
Triumph has developed an all-new performance racing powertrain – a competition four-stroke single. With a forged aluminium 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, programmable engine management system.
Aluminium Chassis
The unique aluminium chassis has a high-strength, lightweight spine frame with twin cradles. 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.
Top-Tier Specification
The TF 250-X features premium, top-tier componentry. KYB suspension tops the list, with 48mm AOS coil forks, forged and machined 7075-T6 aluminium triple clamps and a three-way piggyback coil rear shock.
The premium Brembo braking system features twin 24mm piston floating front caliper, a single 26mm piston floating rear caliper and Galfer 260mm front and 220mm rear discs. DirtStar 7000 Series aluminium rims and machined aluminium hubs are fitted with Pirelli Scorpion MX32 mid-soft tyres. 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 the biggest, 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’s dealers will also be stocking a new clothing range, available side by side to the new TF 250-X. Launched by Triumph in partnership with Alpinestars, the range includes Motocross and Enduro boots and apparel.
