great to see Triumph have also taken note and put on the same setup . It is very adjustable , and I had no complaints on how the whole package performed on the track . If I was going to buy one , I probably wouldn ’ t bother doing any suspension tuning , but then again , I ’ m not a pro motocrosser . For a first-year motorcycle , I think Triumph has done an incredible job on this machine . It ’ s a bike that will work for a wide range of riders ( intermediate-to-pro ), on a wide variety of tracks ( in my opinion ), at what will hopefully be a competitive price . And as a huge fan , the collab ’ with RC is really cool too .
FINAL THOUGHTS During the launch presentation , Triumph talked a lot about how committed it is to the off-road dirt bike industry . Its focus is not on short term wins , and there are a lot of long-term plans and long-term goals it wants to slowly and steadily work towards . The people there want to be the best and they have invested huge amounts of money into recruiting the right people to make it happen . Both the TF 250-X and the TF 450-RC are great bikes for Triumph ’ s very first offerings to
