Triumph Motorcycles has launched its competition-only 2026 TF 250-E and TF 450-E enduro models, which were developed with the assistance of five-time World Champion Ivan Cervantes and four-time World Enduro Champion Paul Edmondson.
The TF 450-E, which is designed to excel in high-speed enduro racing, has a liquid-cooled single-cylinder 450cc engine with low-end and mid-range torque optimized. Maximum power is a claimed 57.8 hp and torque is measured by Triumph at 35.6 lb-ft.
The more accessible 250 enduro, also a single-cylinder, has a claimed 41.7 hp of power and 20.5 lb-ft of torque and weighs, according to Triumph, 251.7 pounds (5.6 pounds lighter than the 450). Triumph says that the 250-E it has “a broad powercurve and strong bottom-end,” and that it “excels in slow-speed technical sections and drives through to a powerful top-end at 12,800 rpm.”

Both powertrains have been developed to have more inertia than Triumph’s motocross engines and they use a six-speed Exedy racing clutch and a Triumph-designed quickshifter that allows for clutchless upshifts between second and sixth gear.
Both models feature Triumph’s lightweight aluminum spine frame, which was optimized for mass, stiffness, and a low center of gravity. Triumph says it offers “exceptional agility, enhanced high-speed stability, and delivers sharp directional control and confidence.”
Suspension is specifically tuned for Enduro and is comprised of a fully adjustable KYB coil-sprung 48mm fork and three-way adjustable linkage-driven rear suspension. Enduro-specific swingarm geometry is used for accurate front-end feedback for rapid adjustments to navigate obstacles.
A bespoke Dellorto 44mm throttle body provides an air-bypass system for cold starts and a manually adjustable idle speed. Del West titanium valves and a forged König aluminum piston are used for consistent performance during prolonged high-rpm operation. For the TF 450-E, the gudgeon pin and rockers are further enhanced with DLC coatings, which improves durability and reduces friction.
The engine-management system for the TF 250-E and TF 450-E feature bespoke software from Athena. Riders can switch between two distinct engine maps on the fly. One for aggressive performance, the other for smoother, more controlled delivery on technical terrain. Additional maps can also be added with the optional Wi-Fi module and the Triumph MX Tune Pro app.
The stainless-steel exhaust system on the TF 250-E has an integrated Helmholtz resonator in the header pipe, enhancing cylinder evacuation and performance. The TF 450-E features a side-resonator in the silencer, specifically designed for targeted noise attenuation.
The high-capacity radiator and auxiliary fan combined with a tool-free dual-stage filter provided by Twin-Air.
The traction-control system monitors rear-wheel slip and modulates power output to provide consistent grip on unpredictable surfaces, while the optimized launch-control manages torque delivery to maximize traction off the line.
The handlebar-mounted controls feature illuminated buttons and the digital speedo screen provides real-time data, including engine temperature, trip information and gear position.
The enduro bikes are equipped with a Galfer performance braking system that includes a 260mm front brake disc and 220mm rear brake disc, combined with Brembo twin 24mm piston floating front caliper, a single 26mm piston floating rear caliper and adjustable-span brake lever.
Both models are fitted with Michelin Enduro 2 tires designed for diverse terrains (soft to hard) and varying conditions (mud to dry). The D.I.D DirtStar 7000 series aluminum rims, with a black anodized finish and Triumph-designed lightweight cast and machined aluminum hubs, complete the look.
Both bikes have a seat height of 37.6 inches, a 2.19 gallon fuel tank, and include a Pyramid non-slip seat, integrated LED lighting, Pro Taper ACF Carbon Core handlebars with adjustable mounts and ODI half-waffle lock-on grips.
They come in race-inspired styling with Triumph Performance yellow, black and white graphics and magnesium engine covers.
The TF 250-E has price tag starting at $9795, while the TF 450-E starts at $10,795.
Orders can be placed now at Triumph dealers, with bikes available for delivery from June this year.CN
