Triumph Motorcycles officially launched the new TF 250-X, with an exemplary power-to-weight ratio in its class and a comprehensive specification package in the highly competitive 250cc motocross segment.
Developed entirely by Triumph in close collaboration with high-level champions like Ricky Carmichael and Ivan Cervantes, the design of the new four-stroke competition model is completely new. Both the high-performance racing engine and the unique aluminum frame are compact and lightweight, incorporating some of the best components on the market as standard.
With an aggressive and purposeful style, the TF 250-X is narrow but bold and will be immediately recognizable on the track for its minimalist and lightweight silhouette, as well as its black and yellow Triumph Racing graphics.
A selection of official Triumph motocross dealers will offer sales, after-sales, and parts services, as well as a dedicated new collection of equipment, always supported by a new online parts supply system that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, optimized for mobile devices, so customers can place their orders with express delivery directly to the track.Steve Sargent, Product Director at Triumph Motorcycles, stated: “The launch of the TF 250-X is the culmination of a significant level of commitment and investment from Triumph not only to bring a new motorcycle to the motocross world, but also to provide winning performance. To achieve this, we focused on offering the most complete package for all levels of use, from champion to amateur. This motorcycle is 100% Triumph. It was conceived, designed, developed, and manufactured by our world-renowned chassis and engine teams, with experienced support from our champion riders. We started with a blank sheet of paper on a completely new design, including a new engine, a new chassis, and new electronics.”
Competition Performance
Triumph has developed a completely new, compact, and lightweight four-stroke single-cylinder racing engine. Featuring a forged aluminum piston and titanium valves, this engine also has DLC (Low Friction Carbon) treatment, lightweight magnesium covers, and an Exedy Diaphragm clutch.
The advanced engine management and tuning options are complemented by the MX Tune Pro application, which allows each driver to select the map they want to use, check engine sensor information, and access real-time diagnostic functionality, all through a programmable and controlled system.
Aluminum frame
Lightweight yet sturdy due to its dual cradle, the unique aluminum central spine frame is designed to achieve the ideal balance of performance, weight, and flexibility. The total weight of the bike will set the new TF 250-X as one of the new benchmarks, offering an ideal weight/power ratio in its class, a feature that will be enhanced thanks to its level of adjustability to suit different riders and styles.
High-level components
The TF 250-X incorporates premium components that add up to unparalleled technical specifications for a production motorcycle in this category. The KYB suspension leads the list, with 48 mm AOS spring forks, 7075-T6 forged and machined aluminum triple clamps, and a rear shock with a three-way piggyback reservoir.
The top-of-the-line Brembo braking system consists of a 24 mm dual-piston floating front caliper, a 26 mm single-piston floating rear caliper, and Galfer discs of 260 mm in the front and 220 mm in the rear. The D.I.D DirtStar 7000 series aluminum rims and machined aluminum hubs are complemented by “mid-soft” Pirelli Scorpion MX32 tires, while the Pro-Taper ACF handlebar with carbon core and ODI Half-Waffle grips with locking system complete the setup.
