2025 Triumph TF 450-RC
The whole bike, or are we doing the “here’s a foot peg” thing again?
Needs a swing arm sticker “What I mean by that is…”
Looking forward to seeing how this bike does!
Thought it wasn't going to be ready for 2025? Or is this just releasing images of a pre production bike way too early?
Oh boy...more Ricky.

I guess getting the bike ready was a must situation
Bike will be for sale but both the US and MXGP racing teams and the whole racing organization thought they were into too late of a position to race the bike for 2025 on a level they want to be represented at.
So for 2025, both programs are working on strengthening their 250 programs and taking the year to get their 450 dialed in at a factory racing level for 2026. Along with finding/eniticing the right riders to debut that machine.
Looks pragmatic.
Thanks for the clarification, I would've guessed it was easier to get a couple race bikes ready faster than mass production.
So Anderson to triumph in 26
So Ducati and Triumph will enter AMA championships at the same time in 2026, interesting.
Ducati would get a headstart, their 450 is already racing and they'll get a full 2025 MXGP season under their belt before they go to America.
03/10/24 threw me off lol
Hopefully they will do a factory launch here in Hinckley again, was low key but worth seeing. With the enduro program, i am hoping the bike is a 5 speed so we can convert it to Supermoto.
There is something to be learned from developing a bike and racing in the US for 2 years prior, even if it is in the 250 class. Though if Ducati side-loads their operation to TLD like is rumored then they won't exactly be starting from scratch like Triumph did either. Cool stuff regardless!
Dubai will be Supercross only in 2025.
Interesting, I hadn't heard that. Did they state why SX only?
Pretty sure Tedesco was riding the Triumph 450 last week at Pala.
Shoulda snagged a picture
Man I love how you just so simply explain the facts
Pit Row
Tell them to start working on a 350 now
Imagine if that sticker said 350-RC lol vital would be blowing up right now!
You have to imagine that has to be at least part of their reasoning for bringing Johnny Walker on board. Possibly to help with 2 stroke development as well.
Maybe a 400 would be the go.
Im assuming its using the ktm engine design, just like they did with the 250? SOHC with different engine covers?
Hope they sort out the clutch issues. My nephew is on his 3rd clutch in 15 hours they just keep snapping. The plates arent getting enough oil, know of at least two other bike having the same issue.. ( TF250X )
Any word on off road or dual sports?
Woah, that's wild. There's a really fast kid at my local club on one. I'll have to ask him if he's had that issue.
I see what you did there lol.
CANNOT WAIT to see the first pics of the fork guard bolts!!!
Which are exactly the same as on the 250!
