2025 Triumph TF-250X Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

The TF 250-X set a new benchmark for performance with its ultra-lightweight aluminum chassis and high-performance powertrain, offering a thrilling ride for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Building on Triumph’s racing success in 2024 the new TF 250-X incorporates updated ECU maps that delivers a more consistent fuel and power delivery through the speed load range, whether the motorcycle is hot or cold. The new fuel maps are available to be updated on MY24 TF 250-X models by Triumph Off-Road Dealerships. Additionally, the Triumph MX Tune Pro app continues to allow riders to adjust maps and monitor diagnostics in real-time, adding an elevated level of customizability.

Originally developed entirely by Triumph in close collaboration with racing champions including Ricky Carmichael and Iván Cervantes, the four-stroke model is a ground-up design first released in 2024. The performance racing powertrain and unique aluminum chassis are ultra compact and super light, with the best components on the market, already fitted out of the crate.

With a focused and aggressive style, the TF 250-X is slim, yet bold. It will be instantly recognizable on the track, with its minimal and lightweight presence and distinctive Triumph Racing Yellow and Black graphics scheme updated for model year 2025.

A network of Triumph dealers will offer sales, service, parts, and a new dedicated range of apparel. The network will be backed by a mobile-optimized 24/7 online parts supply system, so owners can order for express delivery, straight from the track.

 

Built for Champions and Everyday Riders

“Bringing the TF 250-X to market is a testament to Triumph’s commitment to the sport of motocross,” said Steve Sargent, Triumph’s Chief Product Manager. “The design and engineering behind this bike showcase Triumph’s dedication to producing a machine that can go toe-to-toe with the best in class, offering every rider—professional or amateur—the tools to perform at their peak.”

 

Performance Racing Powertrain & Electronics

The 2025 TF 250-X is powered by a four-stroke engine, optimized for lightweight performance. Featuring a forged aluminum piston, titanium valves, and advanced engine coatings, the TF 250-X promises exceptional durability and power delivery. Enhanced by Triumph’s new ECU mapping, riders will experience refined throttle response and power adaptability, making this machine versatile for any track challenge. The optional MX Tune Pro app offers real-time, selectable mapping, allowing riders to fine-tune their experience based on personal preference or track conditions.

 

Top Tier Specification

The TF 250-X features premium, top tier componentry throughout, adding up to an unrivalled specification for a production bike in this category. KYB suspension tops the list, with 1.9” (48mm) AOS coil forks, forged and machined 7075-T6 aluminum triple clamps, and a three-way piggyback coil rear shock.

The premium Brembo braking system features twin .94” (24mm) piston floating front calipers, a single 26mm piston floating rear caliper, and Galfer 10.2” (260mm) front and 8.7” (220mm) rear discs.

Finally, Pro-Taper ACF carbon core bars and ODI half-waffle lock on grips complete the set up.

 

Unmatched Handling & Control

Paired with KYB suspension, including 1.9” (48mm) AOS coil forks and a three-way piggyback coil rear shock, this model provides exceptional handling and stability across rough terrains. A high-end Brembo braking system, Pirelli Scorpion MX32 tires, and Pro-Taper carbon core handlebars complete a setup that promises premium performance.

Exploiting Triumph’s dominant position in motorcycle performance and capability – The all-new Triumph 250cc single powertrain marks a significant shift in the world of motocross.

Specification highlights include a tuned and styled resonator for superb mid-range performance and a Brembo hydraulic clutch system to support stronger torque and a consistent feel.

No-compromise, top-level race-spec componentry is used throughout the powertrain, including titanium valves and an Exedy Belleville spring HD clutch, adding strength and performance for higher engine speed.

Get ready for a fully dialed-in riding experience. The TF 250-X generates smooth and controllable power that quickly builds up through the entire rev range. Its torque curve is strong yet linear, providing excellent traction and control, effortless speed, and no sharp peaks or exit-wrecking flat spots. Punching out of corners, feeling for grip, and pulling big gears is no problem for the super-flexible TF 250-X. Hard-to-read conditions? Let the TF 250-X do its thing with rider-selectable launch control for the perfect power delivery and maximum traction out of the gate.

Advanced engine management from Athena, including a full race-spec Dellorto™ 44mm (1.73in) throttle body.

A vented airbox cover allows for optimal airflow and the air filter can be changed without tools in seconds.

The TF 250-X features a brand new, optimized stainless-steel racing exhaust system with a performance-tuned header resonator, as well as a hydroformed and extruded silencer. This package provides exceptional performance with a deep and powerful signature exhaust note.

OPTIMIZED FOR THE WIN
The All-New TF 250-X combines an all-new lightweight chassis, with best-in-class production suspension and brakes, and a new ultra-compact 250cc powertrain for maximum agility and control, to deliver the ultimate lightweight MX package.

The central spine with twin cradle design is unique to Triumph. The brushed aluminum frame has incredible strength and flexibility for the most punishing conditions. Internal frame machining details result in mass optimization, stiffness tuning, and race-optimized longitudinal, lateral, and torsional stiffness.

The satin-brushed hand-welded aluminum frame, with in-mold graphics technology, hydroformed swingarm, and the use of only the highest-quality fasteners and bearings are key details vital to low weight and tough off-road durability.

ProTaper ACF bars with a carbon core allow a thinner aluminum wall for a 20% reduction in weight (vs all-aluminum) and unrivaled impact-absorbing flex. ODI Half Waffle lock-on grips complete this killer package.

The TF 250-X is designed to achieve the perfect balance of mass, performance, and flexibility. The chassis combines world-class precision and agility to deliver a winning performance at the highest level. With an aggressive minimalist design, it boasts best-in-class agility, manageability, and power-to-weight ratio. Pirelli Scorpion MX32 Mid Soft tires deliver traction on a variety of surfaces with excellent braking characteristics and cornering side grip. Strength-sapping weather and worsening track conditions can be managed with rider-selectable traction control for enhanced control when you need it.

The TF 250-X boasts class-leading specification and includes the most wanted features in MX racing. Whether you’re pulling away from the starting gate or racing to the finish line, the high-spec Brembo floating brake calipers and Galfer discs will provide consistent lever feel, along with the stopping power required for race-winning performance. To further enhance the bike’s performance, best-in-class KYB 48mm (1.88in) upside-down AOS coil forks are braced by lightweight 7075-T6 forged and machined aluminum yokes. Additionally, a KYB rear shock with a unique hollow mount ensures that finding the perfect setup is a breeze.

The perfect launch isn’t always enough. Holeshot Assist enables clutchless, throttle-pinned gear changes through second to fifth gear, to make sure you arrive at the first turn, first.

Add the accessory fit Athena LC-GPA Launch Control Module for even more dialed starts.

Bespoke, intuitive switch cubes with multi-function racer technology allow easy on-the-fly activation of launch control, traction control, engine maps and holeshot assist.

The latest in MX-specific technology, all at the press of a button. Nail every launch, grab every holeshot, and alter the power delivery to suit riding style and track conditions.

 

PODIUM READY
Slim, aggressive bodywork is designed for optimum rider maneuverability and a minimal, lightweight stance and presence. The TF 250-X is unmistakably a Triumph.

Instantly identifiable on the podium, the striking and dynamic Triumph Racing Yellow, Black, and White trim sets the TF 250-X apart from the pursuing pack.

Bold and impactful styling with durability for a fresh and distinctive look that won’t fade, the slim, aggressive, and lightweight TF 250-X is designed for maximum rider maneuverability.

Only the best brands in motocross were selected to be included in the TF 250-X Genuine Accessory range. From Akrapovič to Xtrig, it’s a formidable lineup of proven winners.
