2024 Triumph TF250-X TESTED

#motocross #racing #sports
The 2024 Triumph TF250X is finally here and Motocross Action test riders, Josh Mosiman and Dennis Stapleton were able to ride the all-new bike at Gatorback Cycle Park in Gainsville, Florida. Triumph has the unique ability to learn from the manufacturer’s who are already making great 250 four-stroke dirt bikes, and they realize that their best way to jump into the new market is to study and learn from the market leaders, rather than reinvent the wheel. The engine has a big bore and short stroke, 78x52.3, it has a hand-welded aluminum frame, it comes with a Bellville washer spring clutch, Smartphone mapping options, KYB suspension with AOS spring forks, forged aluminum triple clamps, Brembo brakes and a Brembo hydraulic clutch, Pirelli MX32 tires, ProTaper handlebar bars and odi lock-on grips.

[@eric6rock]

Hopefully they get into the enduro and two stroke market 🔥

[@buffetline2605]

300 2 stroke would be sick

[@chaseharman6376]

Pretty sure they plan on it. Just saw another video, and the rep was saying they went with the choice of frame they did because it would allow for smoother transition once they start development on Enduro models.

[@Bt26x]

I’m sure they will once they have a solid 250/450 platform. A XC version would be easy to make at that point. Hopefully we’ll see a 350F too. I’d like to see a XC-W & a EXC-F version that. Basically a enduro bike w/ a tag. That’s more my style anyway. I’m definitely intrigued by the 250 though!

[@orange1666]

Of course they have a enduro planned and that’s why they have firmer multi champ enduro axe Ivan Cervantes as a brand manager , it’s a bigger market potentially .

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

Three honey w/chrome moly frame👌🏻

[@kevinsnow9157]

JOSH !!!! You have got to race the bike at a national this year !!! That would be EPIC !!!!!

[@mikeking7388]

You guys knock these videos out of the park each and every time. As a German car tech I can appreciate the torx, I personally love to see them

[@ed11.]

I have brought this bike to Glen Helen and it feels so good, the bike holds it lines and build speed super fast, nothing better than a good suspension not losing the front of the bike a single time, the frame absorbs everything and gives you 100% of control of the bike, the bike is loud and it is so good.

[@02_blue_tjcarter66]

Bike looks great, but what really tripped me out was finding out that little Dennis is 43. I’m friends with his dad, and the first time I met little Dennis was at Hangtown. Big Dennis was pushing him around in a baby stroller. Man do I feel old.

[@wernerxldata]

Please don't mention the 'old' stuff, now I thought about it and realized I am old 🤣

[@cduronm]

Been into triumphs since I was introduced to the street bikes in the mid 80s, to see this bike come to their line up is like a dream come true…

[@freddunbar]

That mention of the 450 has got me excited. I can see Triumph as a potential manufacturer to release a 350 model in the future also. 👍

[@207films]

Yeah. Seems like they want to leave no stone unturned in the market. Would be sick

[@Marine450x]

Absolutely, need a 350 option. As well, need off-road/woods option models.

[@1sir-onworld]

​@@207films my so , but ebikes are fast and less maintenance

[@bump_draft]

I've been riding Triumph sportbikes for 20 years now, the last few I've had have been dead nuts reliable and amazing performers. This is going to be a winner.

[@jamesboardman7048]

Mxa has the reputation of being brutally honest when they test a bike, id say not a bad review

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

Stapletons suspension critique was awesome - these guys know their stuff

[@Harry_Gersack]

Yeah but I don't know how to feel about this one. The facts that he pretty much hyped the bike before he rode it and that they were invited to a test event by triumph makes me a little skeptical about the brutal honesty on this one

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

@@Harry_GersackThis is how Moto reviews have always been... for decades. MXA is legit

[@Harry_Gersack]

@@ChupacabraOffroad He indicated it himself when he said they kept them well fed and tried to make them like the bike. Also different track than for all the other bikes. I'm not saying they got paid to hype a shit bike. But it can't be as objective as the other reviews when it's a different track and the manufacturer pays you a holiday in florida

[@morley3810]

Triumph street bikes are beautifully built and styled. Nice to see that carry over to the dirt too!

[@peaceprayer595]

So glad I'm not the only one ot recognize this.

[@biggussniffus5537]

i dunno it just looks like a yamaha crossed with a husqvarna

[@user-rf1qe4vb2m]

If you scratch the plastic it’s orange underneath………

[@morley3810]

@@user-rf1qe4vb2m Why are people saying this? IT IS NOT A KTM! I get it that it sounds like a cool thing to say, but YOU'RE NOT LISTENING.

[@peaceprayer595]

let's hope so. @@user-rf1qe4vb2m

[@joelatkinson2080]

That would be awesome to see Josh race the Triumph this summer!!!

[@alisonandguywildlifephotograph]

Hell yes Josh .. you were ripping on it … bike looks great too … well done triumph 👏👏👏👍

[@Papparratzi]

If I was in the market for a new 250 that little beast would certainly top the list. It sounds great. It looks better than anything else out there and watching. It seems like it is very balanced and fast.

[@wernerxldata]

Great to finally hear some news about this bike from objective people. In the past weeks it has all been speculation by all kinds of people with all kinds of claims. In my opinion it seems like a well build bike, and as expected they didn't invent the wheel themselves, would have been impossible to build a great bike if you really start from the ground up. I think it's a plus for Triumph, means they've been smart and focussed on what they could improve instead of starting from zero. Thanks for all insights !

[@ed11.]

Man I could sell my soul for a chance to practice with RC 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻, this bike is well done project and I can’t wait to see the 450. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@brennercoughlan3044]

Sick bike I’m excited to ride one. If they are smart they will produce a 350 to tap into that market KTM has capitalized on

[@Stone881]

I hope they make a 400 and get the best of the 350 and 450.

[@neilr4867]

If they do a 350 they've got my money

[@FernandoBoechat]

the feedback was so positive that i want to buy one

[@Srstein84]

Such an awesome video!! Thanks guys for the info, excited to see more content come out on this bike.

[@raymondsiewert2720]

I knew it was going to be good, if not the best 250, just by looking at the frame, the way the double cradle splits higher up on the down tube. KYB suspension and Brembo brakes . Simple , clean and light bike. 😊

[@RastaRider]

A complete and perfect review. Y'all nailed it again. Great production and value added for time watched. Cheers from Tampa Bay 🌴🤙🏼🏍🛵

[@petelamps6055]

Great to see a Trumpet on the track

[@tomparsons930]

Great Video guys! Josh is a great speaker too, honestly never watched one of these before, Impressed.

[@kevinsnow9157]

Josh is an awesome ambassador for MXA!! He’s the reason I watch there vids and buy there magazines. Very well spoken and informative. Josh Rocks !!!

[@nuchbutter]

I have a Thruxton, which only sees track days now. I would love to see Josh on the Triumph this summer!

[@tcparker2]

Stoked for this bike, I’m glad to see a Gucci 250f.

[@jmx7656]

It's awesome looking but I think the Ducati will be Gucci of all.

[@bluemarkthomas]

The attention to detail is amazing on this bike. All of the castings look great and the cast logos on everything is very cool. Not in love with the black, but the bike looks stellar. Hope they make a 350 and allow after market to make plastic. I'd definitely buy one.

[@jamesdelambo856]

Super cool hearing and seeing Ricky's throttle control ! Awesome bike!

[@Chrissy-H]

Looks like a great bike! Love a lot of the ingredients they've put into this thing. Personally don't love the plastics and especially the graphics/colour scheme but thats easy to change.

[@Marine450x]

Excellent video. This is how all new model release vids should be done. I too add my vote for Josh to race a national on the Triumph. You know you, and Triumph, will get a lot of press as a result.

[@xXSteveo390Xx]

YES! Race it at a national please!

[@adamhuglo111]

Love it, it looks so planted!

[@jedielder7970]

Can't wait for you to bring the bike back to California, put it on the dyno and give us your impressions there. Thanks for the video.

[@peaceprayer595]

I'll take 3 of them if I can look that fast. Holy Cow...NICE!

[@abracing199]

Best moto video content of anyone. Youre running a great program josh. Hope youre getting the recognition you deserve from mxa.

[@larryscheiteriii8400]

I cannot believe Triumph is the only company to sample their competitors offerings while developing their own product. pretty sure they all do it. I know Stark did

[@robertbradley1133]

Of course they do, it’s called bench marking it happens in all industries tech, phones cars bike jet engines you name it it’s going on

[@Stinky_sack]

It definitely sounds good. And looks like a KTM with an aluminum frame. Which is awesome imo.

[@ed11.]

This bike is awesome I got mine last week and I am in love with it 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@garyeasdale1004]

Way Trick. Excellent work

[@bradmckinnon945]

This bike seems spot on 👌 triumph has killed it!! 💯

[@Kawiboy]

Kudos to the Team ✌️🔥Do it Josh 😉

[@onlygazza]

Deffo triumph in the national ✊

[@NickW90]

I vote yes for you to race a national on it

[@ADBAnt1]

This test made me want to ride!!! Looks like a super fun bike

[@KH102695]

Great to see Triumph getting into the motocross market. It can only improve all the other brands down the road. Competition is great for the sport.

[@johannessimmer9623]

very good review > good job guys < 👌

[@steveabt8598]

Great test and enjoyed video with RC too, still remember Dennis testing 17 rmzsuzuki 250, ended up buying new one in 2019, still have it

[@justinbuist5417]

Can't wait for the GH Triumph review! Also, go smash that national Josh.

[@kirkdunn1379]

well done for a first year bike.......very well done might start to see this more often in next 10 years, although it takes a ton of money to start up a program, the Ducati looks sick as well

[@ricericebaby_1660]

I’ve been interested and I believe once one of the bikes is in a dealer by me I’m picking one up. I used to race hard but now I’m older I just want to hit jumps and throw whips.

[@ridendrive]

Looks like a great bike. Triumph motorcycle fit and finish have been quite good over the years, and they were smart to outfit with great components like KYB and Brembo. I think they will do well with this model, biggest struggle I think will be the niche motorcycle dealers that sell the brand. Hopefully they look to expand the franchise network with this expansion into offroad.

[@danielkarlsson608]

Love that blatant disregard for the track markers 😂

[@macedhx]

You guys really used a Cumbia song for the intro hahahahaha Love it!

[@Lifelongnatural777]

Fantastic job Josh👍👍

[@keithbell8960]

Sounds like a great bije. Watching Swoll ride it it seemed impressive. I think picky guy should be on every test

[@brandonfoley8070]

Im excited to see more about this bike. It seems like its going to be really good. Gatorback is looking real good too hopefully they start doing more tests here or maybe even a national

[@Buffington916]

It almost feels like Triumph took a KTM, and changed all the things that people who don't like KTM's complain about. Big brain.

[@dbmbrbkb]

looks very nice!

[@robd227]

Run the Triumph in the 250 class (Fox raceway) and Beta in the 450 class (hangtown) for outdoors this year. You'll be able to ride 2 brand new bikes and get a solid perspective of how deep both classes are this year.

[@russheins6458]

Gatorback is looking good these days !!!

[@Mockle07]

I’d just like to point out that even as an English man, I still find the Torx only bolts to be a crazy choice! 😂

[@DuecedYT]

Torx is definitely the best bit anyways!

[@DavidQuin]

Josh it would be awesome to see you race it at a national this year, cant wait to see how you get on.

[@michaelgray8986]

FOR SURE try to race at a national this summer!!! I'd like to see ya at Washougal...

[@redlinegw]

Josh is the best!

[@stevenbrown3901]

Race it Josh! That would be awesome! 👍🏆

[@shadetreemotorsports]

Whenever there's a triumph being raced,ill watch!!

[@bennyb.1742]

Torx heads packed full of mud! Fun!

[@ericheagan3624]

I wanna see you race this in a National! I love seeing that bright orange helmet on TV!

[@Ian-bq7gp]

Triumph have been reborn making great products and their frames are already so well designed and are almost factory works spec in a production mass produced good value package. Theyre approach and taking their time in developing top quality and spec parts with the very best in the world japanese type production, QC to aircraft. Huge respect to the enthusiasm to make the top quality spec possible at a really good price that batters the competition. Their 675 daytona, original 90s trophy, 900 steamer tiger and later on the 800, 850, 900, 1050 tiger sport and 1200 shaft explorer have proven reliability going round the clock and now the 180bhp beautiful speed triple, the 1700 thunderbird, rocket 3 and bonneville 1200 tiger watercooled with great rolling chassis. Like the moto 2 765 motor, theyve taken the excellent design and specs into this TF250X with the complete engine, gearbox and rolling chassis all designed like to work together in harmony like Yamaha with the fantastic engine quality like suzuki, kawasaki and honda also with using some of the Dakar design ideas of companies like KTM, MV Agusta, Aprilia but at a far better price for Ducati type performance. It good its under 10k dollars and 47 bhp and so light. I cant wait for the 450. Only the Norton, crighton CR700 seem better in finish but they cost over £40000 for that V4. Its good to see but its sad BSA wasnt bought up by CCM and money and top brains and vision thrown at another great old brand. Their late 1960s dirt bikes were so beautiful and the frames were something else in the day. Same with Royal Enfield with the last british made interceptors of nearly 800cc which were so well balanced, powerful with great handling but it came too late. The indian 650 interceptor isnt a patch on the mk 3 interceptors. Sadly Sadiq has stabbed the petrol engine in the back.

[@kolasillers7776]

That's a Triumph man.

[@roncleghorn4381]

killed it

[@TheWhippetmaster]

Lol " Glenn Hellen is the ultimate test" yessir, truer words were never spoken. I'm sure it will do good, 250s need every advantage there.

[@steveweilhart2359]

Race that bad boy see what you can do!

[@chrymix3179]

[@garycopeland5779]

Race for sure Josh!

[@alexarmstrong1134]

[@calktm]

yes please - go race it !

[@brandonfoley8070]

Definitely try to get that thing into a national main!

Swoll pulling a hole shot shows its got some power

[@jordanmacdonald9848]

Bike looks killer

[@SolusRap]

One vote for YES to run this rig at a National this year.

[@SupervisorJimLahey]

Beautiful bike especially for a first gen, looks extremely well built. Being a mechanic the only thing I dislike is all the torx screws

[@1sir-onworld]

🐝🏁 Nice bike see you guys at Glenn Helen. Video 👍

[@Peanutdenver]

Kinda excited for the 450 if it's as good as the 250. I currently race a YZ450F and I'm really happy with the bike after getting off a SXF450 two seasons ago. Could Triumph be the best of both worlds? Solid vid Josh as usual.

[@ronald8673]

The nicest Trumpet ever built !

[@Hyngyynj]

Hand welded is dope

[@fast22fast]

Josh, you rip! You definitely need to race that machine in a national.

[@chestertownelectric6290]

They should be able to set you up with a 450 for a National later in the summer. You’d like Budds Creek.

[@MrSuperflydude]

I cannot wait till the 450 comes out

[@eatnpooter1634]

YES race a 250!!!!!

[@DaleEzell]

would be sick to see it at a national 💯

[@Jb-mp1in]

Looks like im gunna be in the market for the 450 when it comes out

[@philiprourke7732]

Yes please race the triumph at a national. I hope you get to rece a few nationals with different bikes. MXA's content is more interesting when you race nationals, no othe media organisation does that...race more nationals!

[@LaBrouetteSP]

🔥🔥

[@raymondharold5973]

It would definitely be cool to see you race the Triumph at a national, hopefully they will give you some go fast parts to get you on par with the heavily modded small bore rippers that dot the landscape at the nationals! Great job guys ❤🙏

Excellent work MXA One of your best videos! Love all the music jams! Absolutely want to see you race the 250 class on the Triumph 👍👍👍

[@joshlewis5065]

The electric assists will be really nice for a supermoto. It looks like the quickshifter is internal, as well as the rear wheel speed sensor. Pretty trick stuff
