TRIUMPH REVEALS NEW TF 250-X

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.

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.
