THE X FILES: TRIUMPH TUNES IN TF 450-X

“Our motocross program 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,” says Triumph Motorcycles’ Chief Commercial Officer, Paul Stroud. “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.”

Triumph adds the X-factor to its 2026 off-road line-up, bringing factory-level tech to the 450cc class, claims Stroud. “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.” fuel and air system features a Dell’Orto 44mm throttle body and Keihin injector for maximum fuel atomization, 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.

Finishing touches include Brembo brakes, KYB suspension, Pro Taper bars and D.I.D wheels fitted as standard, along with race-optimized electronics including launch control, traction control, quickshifter and dual engine maps. A new Exedy clutch hub with optimized lubrication ports works in conjunction with Belleville Clutch Springs 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. 

With a maximum power of 61.5 HP (62.4 PS) at 9,500 rpm and an ultra-light chassis weighing just 239.4lb (108.3 kg), the new TF 450-X offers a power-to-weight ratio that surpasses the competition and delivers exceptional agility and balance. The new Performance Yellow graphics kit, with in-mold decals, gives the TF 450-X a bold, race-ready presence.
