2026 Triumph TF 450-X

TRIUMPH LAUNCHES NEW TF 450-X FOR 2026

PURE. FOCUSED. PERFORMANCE.

  • Triumph Motorcycles adds a new TF 450-X to its 2026 off-road line-up
  • New high performance Exedy clutch hub and new Belleville Clutch Spring for enhanced durability and refined clutch action in extreme racing conditions
  • New engine mounts tuned for refined chassis performance and new gearbox selector star for improved gear selection and robust engagement
  • Dominating the segment with 62.4 PS peak power at 9,500rpm, the Triumph 450cc four-stroke single delivers the best power to weight ratio in its class
  • Brand-new graphics scheme for 2026, with striking in-mould decals in eye-catching Triumph Performance Yellow

 

Triumph Motorcycles has added a new TF 450-X to its 2026 off-road line-up, bringing its latest race-developed power, precision control, and factory-level tech to the 450cc class.

Following the launch of last year’s TF 450-RC special edition, which marked Triumph’s debut in the 450 class, this purpose-built motocross machine benefits from the latest technical updates introduced on the TF 250-X.

A newly designed Exedy clutch hub has optimized lubrication ports, further enhancing durability and improving torque capacity in extreme racing conditions. The new Belleville Clutch Spring delivers refined clutch action and consistent engagement. New engine mounts are tuned to deliver a more refined chassis performance, while a new gearbox selector star offers improved gear selection and robust engagement.

The new Performance Yellow graphics kit, with in-mould decals, gives the TF 450-X a bold, race-ready presence.

With a maximum power of 62.4 hp at 9,500 rpm and an ultra-light chassis weighing just 108.3 kg, the new TF 450-X offers a power-to-weight ratio that surpasses the competition and delivers exceptional agility and balance.

Ensuring racers have everything they need straight from the box, the TF 450-X has premium componentry including Brembo brakes, KYB suspension, Pro Taper bars, and D.I.D wheels fitted as standard, along with race-optimise electronics including launch control, traction control, quickshifter, and dual engine maps.

Triumph Motorcycles’ Chief Commercial Officer, Paul Stroud, said: “Our motocross programme has already delivered podium finishes in both Supercross and MXGP, and the response to our TF 250-X and TF 450-RC has been outstanding. The new TF 450-X builds on that momentum, offering the same race-developed performance in a standard production model. Developed and tested to deliver performance, control, and reliability for riders of all capabilities, this model is engineered to be accessible for weekend riders while helping competitive racers perform at the highest level.”

COMPETITIVE PERFORMANCE

Race-bred for relentless torque, the 450 powertrain delivers brute strength with refined control. The engine mapping carries over from the RC edition, improving throttle response and boosting low-end torque, giving riders more control out of corners and stronger starts.

Designed for competitive performance, the engine features a forged König aluminum piston for strength and high-rev durability. Flow-optimized Del West titanium valves are ultra-light, allowing higher RPMs and improved response, while DLC-coated rockers and cams minimise friction, enhancing durability and smooth performance at high loads. Mass-saving magnesium engine covers are race-developed for strength, cooling, and easy maintenance.

The advanced fuel and air system features a Dell’Orto 44mm throttle body and Keihin injector for maximum fuel atomisation, and the airbox and silencer, first seen on the TF 450- RC edition, improve airflow and throttle response while meeting FIM and AMA race sound regulations.

The high capacity Exedy clutch hub has been upgraded, increasing torque capacity and providing smoother engagement and consistent performance. This durable, race-ready clutch is housed in a steel clutch basket and paired with Brembo hydraulics for consistent engagement. Engineered for precision, the Belleville Clutch Spring offers enhanced clutch feel where required. A quickshifter is also fitted as standard, enabling clutchless upshifts from 2nd to 5th gear.

Brembo brakes with Galfer discs deliver strong, consistent stopping power. Lightweight D.I.D DirtStar 7000-series aluminum rims are fitted with Pirelli MX32 mid-soft terrain tires, offering excellent grip and durability. An optional disc guard is available for added protection in demanding conditions.

CHASSIS AND HANDLING

The TF 450-X retains Triumph’s unique aluminum spine frame , an ultra-light, twin-cradle design that balances stiffness and flex for confident handling. The hydroformed swingarm and race-developed linkage system reduce weight while maximising grip and traction, contributing to excellent rear grip and suspension feel.

The KYB settings are also carried over from the RC edition, developed to improve mid-stroke control, chassis balance, and cornering stability. Refined by racing input to deliver a pro-level performance, the premium KYB setup has been dialled in for big hits and technical rhythm sections. The 48mm KYB AOS coil spring forks and three-way adjustable piggyback shock are tuned for consistent damping, controlled landings and enhanced front end feel across a wide range of terrain.

 

2026 Triumph TF 450-X

TOP TIER SPECIFICATION

Enhanced with premium components, the TF 450-X features Neken yokes, ProTaper ACF carbon core handlebars, and ODI lock-on grips, which complete a cockpit designed for control and comfort. The final drive features D.I.D 520 SDH chain and JT lightweight sprockets co-developed for further mass improvements.

The comprehensive electronics package includes launch control, traction control and dual engine maps. Riders can switch between power modes via handlebar controls or the optional MX Tune Pro app, which also unlocks up to ten additional engine maps when paired with the Accessory Engine Management Unit. A sensor dashboard provides live engine data, diagnostics, and service alerts, while a discreet hour meter tracks engine run-time.

The Athena ECU controls ignition, launch, traction, and map settings and is integrated with GET Power Assist for seamless traction and launch control.

BUILT TO COMPETE

In addition to the high level of specification already included as standard, Triumph has partnered 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

2026 Triumph TF 450-C

TRIUMPH POWERS INTO CROSS COUNTRY RACING WITH NEW TF 250-C AND TF 450-C

• Purpose-built for cross country racing, the new TF 250-C and TF 450-C models are engineered to compete at the highest level
• Triumph’s best in class powertrains are optimized for cross country with three unique engine maps, refined torque delivery, and race-ready durability
• Tailored aluminum chassis and refined suspension give riders a competitive edge in GNCC and off-road endurance events
• Advanced electronics and rider aids enhance control and confidence across changing terrain
• Available in US and Canada beginning October 2025

Triumph Motorcycles unveils two new additions to its ground-breaking off-road line up; the TF 250-C and TF 450-C. Purpose-built for cross country domination, these race-ready machines will be available in the United States, Canada, France, and New Zealand, bringing championship-winning engineering to riders who demand performance, endurance, and control.

Developed in collaboration with elite riders and tested across the world’s toughest terrain, the TF 250-C and TF 450-C blend motocross DNA with cross country resilience. Designed for riders chasing GNCC podiums or carving through technical trails, these bikes deliver the agility, torque, and stamina to go the distance, and get there first.

Triumph’s best-in-class TF 250 and TF 450 powertrains are optimized for cross country with three specially developed engine maps, available with the accessory MX Tune Pro Module, refined torque delivery and race-ready durability. The tailored, lightweight chassis, premium suspension with cross country settings and a large 2.2 US gal (8.3 liter) fuel tank, provide even more agility and endurance. Giving racers the extra edge, top tier
advanced electronics and rider aids enhance control and confidence across changing terrain.

Triumph Motorcycles’ Chief Commercial Officer, Paul Stroud, said: “Our motocross and enduro models have already made their mark on the global racing scene, earning podiums and praise in their debut seasons. With the TF 250-C and TF 450-C, we’re bringing that same competitive edge to cross country for riders in the US, Canada, France and New Zealand. These new bikes are built to highest standards and have been through relentless development and testing to deliver race-winning performance in the most demanding conditions. We’re excited to see them compete at the highest level.”

Proven power tuned for the trail

At the heart of the TF 250-C and TF 450-C are Triumph’s latest competition-developed engines, delivering best-in-class performance and power-to-weight ratios to the cross country segment.

Both models deliver smooth, controllable torque for technical terrain, linear power delivery for singletrack precision and explosive acceleration for high-speed racing. Forged aluminum pistons, DelWest titanium valves, and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings reduce friction and enhance durability. Lightweight magnesium covers and advanced cooling systems ensure consistent performance under pressure, making these engines as resilient as they are responsive.

 

2026 Triumph TF 250-C

Engineered for precision and control, the TF 250-C features a high-revving 250cc four-stroke single producing 46.67 HP (47.3 PS) at 13,250 rpm and 20.9 lb-ft (28.3 Nm) at 9,250 rpm, making it the agile choice for riders who thrive on technical terrain and rapid transitions.
In contrast, the TF 450-C is built for riders who demand power and stamina over long, punishing stages. Its 450cc four-stroke single delivers 61.6 HP (62.4 PS) at 9,500 rpm and 36.8 lb-ft (49.9 Nm) at 7,000 rpm, with broader torque and high-revving performance that dominate steep climbs and high-speed straights.

A high-capacity clutch with hard anodized basket, hydraulic Brembo calipers and master cylinders with Galfer discs, and a five-speed gearbox with quickshifter, provide seamless control and endurance. The narrow engine design improves brake pedal interaction, giving riders the confidence to push harder across varied terrain.

Precision Handling
Triumph’s unique lightweight chassis is designed to deliver optimal balance, control, and confidence across the most demanding cross country terrain. Adapted specifically for the rigors of GNCC-style racing and long-format endurance events, the unique aluminum spine frame features twin cradles and a lightweight construction that maximizes strength without compromising responsiveness.

Combined with advanced suspension, refined for cross country riding and rider-focused geometry, the chassis offers a high level of tunability to suit different rider styles and preferences, allowing riders to push harder, ride longer, and maintain control in every condition.

Rider-focused technology
Engineered to meet the demands of mass-start, multi-terrain cross country competition, the TF 250-C and TF 450-C are equipped with a premium selection of components and advanced electronics. Providing a competitive edge, both models feature app-controlled engine management, dual engine maps, launch assist, traction control, and a quickshifter for clutchless upshifts between second and fifth gear. These rider aids allow seamless adaptation to changing terrain and race strategy, enhancing confidence and control throughout every stage of the course.

Suspension performance is delivered by KYB’s renowned AOS coil system, featuring air-oil separation for consistent damping and precise handling. D.I.D DirtStar 7000-series aluminum rims with black anodized finish are paired with Triumph-designed lightweight hubs and Dunlop Geomax AT82 all-terrain tires, offering exceptional grip, agility, and durability across varied terrain.

Additional race-ready features include ODI lock-on grips, ProTaper Evo MX Alloy handlebars, and an Exedy racing clutch for precise engagement under pressure. A Dell’Orto 1.73” (44mm) throttle body and Triumph’s ECU, developed in partnership with Athena, optimize engine performance, while a TwinAir washable air filter simplifies maintenance. Both models also feature 2.2 US gal (8.3L) translucent fuel tanks, enduro hand guards, heavy-duty handguards, and side stand, completing a package built for uncompromising cross country performance.

Dynamic off-road competitions

Cross country represents an opportunity for further growth in Triumph’s off-road program. The GNCC Series in the US draws top talent and massive fan engagement, while Canada, France, and New Zealand also have thriving off-road communities and competitive cross country racing scenes.
One of the most demanding and dynamic off-road disciplines, cross country combines high-speed aggression with technical precision across natural terrain like forests, fields, and hills. With a strong emphasis on endurance, it challenges riders to adapt to constantly changing conditions over long distances. The launch of the TF 250-C and TF 450-C in these markets reflects Triumph’s commitment to supporting riders with purpose-built machines that meet the demands of this exhilarating sport.

Race-Ready

The all-new TF 250-C or TF 450-C motorcycle are exclusively available as competition use only motorcycles in the United States and Canada. To ensure racers have the highest level of dealer support, there is a nationwide network of qualified Triumph Off-Road dealers offering sales, servicing and parts.

The authorized dealer network is backed by a mobile-optimized 24/7 online parts support system, so customers can easily identify the parts they need and find stocking Triumph dealers at any time.
