The next step in Triumph's incursion into off-road motorcycles is here with the unveiling of the TF 250-E and TF 450-E enduro race bikes.
The enduros follow Triumph's debut in motocross that began two years ago with the TF 250-X. In the company's first two years of racing, TF 250-X riders have scored podium finishes in both Monster Energy AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross races, and Jonny Walker rode a TF 250 to a second-place finish in the SuperEnduro World Championship. Triumph hopes to build on that momentum with these two new off-road competition machines.
Compared to the motocross versions, the E models are tuned to provide more torque at lower engine speeds to increase tractability when tackling challenging terrain. Triumph claims a max output of nearly 42 horsepower for the 250 and nearly 58 horsepower for the 450. With bits such as titanium valves and a forged aluminum piston, the 250 redlines at 12,800 rpm.
Triumph worked with Athena to develop engine management software specifically for the TF enduro models, including traction control. The bikes come with two engine maps and the rider can easily switch between the two on the fly, one providing more aggressive response and the other a more controlled power delivery for use on technical terrain. An optional wi-fi module and Triumph's MX Tune Pro app allow the rider to add other maps.
Just as the engines differ from the motocross versions to better suit enduro work, the suspension is also revised. The KYB fork provides 0.4 inches less travel. The rear shock connects up to a different swingarm for the enduro models.
The new TF models will be available at dealers this summer and prices start just under $10,000 in the United States for the 250. See the full specs below.
Of course the obvious question is where will Triumph go next with its lightweight, off-road platform after years of building street motorcycles and adventure machines. Will we see street-legal dual-sport models coming next? Obviously, that will take a lot more work, as a dual-sport model will need a different engine that measures maintenance requirements in thousands of miles, not dozens of hours. No doubt anticipating that question, however, Triumph's U.S. representative ended the e-mail announcing these models with a sentence reading, "Triumph is actively working to continually grow our off-road and on-road model offerings."
Stay tuned, as they say.
