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.
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.

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.
