Triumph Motorcycles has officially launched the new TF 250-E and TF 450-E for 2026.
The bikes are developed by Triumph’s engineers in close collaboration with World Enduro Champions, five-time World Champion Iván Cervantes and four-time World Enduro Champion Paul Edmondson.
The TF 450-E is designed to excel in high-speed enduro racing.
With its greater low-end and mid-range torque, it tackles hill climbs, sand dunes, and situations requiring less gear shifting.
They tell us that Triumph’s all-new 250 enduro engine is the most powerful engine in its class, and is suited for technical sections and tight enduro challenges.
It pushes 42.3 PS of power and 27.8 Nm of torque, with a broad power curve and strong bottom-end, and drives through to a powerful top-end at 12,800 RPM.
Both engines are complemented by the six-speed Exedy racing clutch, which allows smooth, clutchless upshifts, maintaining momentum in tight, technical sections.
A bespoke Dellorto throttle body provides an air bypass system for cold starts and a manually adjustable idle speed.
The high-capacity radiator and auxiliary fan combined with tool-free Dual-stage filter provided by Twin-air, provide consistent engine cooling, ensuring reliable power delivery on long, demanding rides.
The engine management system for the TF250-E and TF450-E feature completely bespoke software. This new system benefits from co-developed mapping and traction control strategies, specifically tailored by Triumph and Athena to enhance performance.
Dual Engine Maps adapt performance for different conditions at the touch of a button.Riders can switch between two distinct engine maps on the fly. Additional maps can also be added with the optional Wi-Fi module and the Triumph MX Tune Pro app.
Suspension System: Fully adjustable KYB coil-sprung 48mm forks and 3-way adjustable linkage-driven rear suspension are specifically tuned for Enduro.
- A digital speedo screen provides real-time data, including engine temperature, trip information, and gear position.
- A traction control system monitors rear-wheel slip and modulates power output.
- Launch control manages torque delivery for competitive starts.
- The bikes come with a Triumph-designed quickshifter for clutch-less upshifts between second and sixth gear.
- Galfer and Brembo take care of the brakes.
- Both models are fitted with Michelin Enduro 2 tyres.
- D.I.D DirtStar 7000 series aluminium rims, with a black anodised finish and Triumph-designed lightweight cast and machined aluminium hubs.
- Pro Taper ACF Carbon Core handlebars with adjustable mounts.
- ODI half-waffle lock-on grips.
- A 955mm seat height.
- Non-slip Pyramid seat.
- 8.3 litre fuel tank.
The TF 250-E and TF 450-E share a lightweight aluminium chassis, Triumph Performance Yellow graphics, and integrated LED lighting.
Paul Edmondson has played a key role in the development and testing of the new range and will be leading the new Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team into the EnduroGP Championship in April.
In September 2024, Triumph revealedthat Edmondson is officially appointed Team Manager of Triumph Racing’s enduroprogramme, which will see the brand represented at the highest levels of competition worldwide.
