Our take on the TF 250 and TF 450
Its lightweight aluminum spine frame makes it easy to throw into a rut or snap across to a new line, and the engine pulls hard all the way down the straight. Every part of it is tuned for the start line.
For 2026 Triumph sharpened it with a redesigned airbox and silencer for better airflow, refined ECU mapping, a new Exedy clutch and updated KYB suspension settings, plus bold new graphics and service-friendly tweaks. A quick shifter, Brembo brakes front and rear, Pirelli MX32 tires and Pro Taper ACF carbon-core bars are all standard.
At 229 lb wet it changes direction in a heartbeat, and the targeted updates add up to sharper launches and improved handling every time you head out. It feels podium-ready right out of the crate.
What the reviewers say
“It is outstanding in turns, but what we like the most is that it has much better straight line stability than most of the other 450s.”
For enduro, with the 449.9cc single, enduro-tuned KYB suspension and Michelin Enduro 2 tires.
