free adjustment and plenty of one finger modulation power available . The pro taper bars are a good height and sweep for me . The addition of small things like a grippy seat cover , tool free airbox entry , sag adjustment marker on the rear fender , lock on grips and wide footpegs really go a long way in my opinion . There were only two minor things I didn ’ t like . Firstly , the skinny rear tyre . It tended to get overpowered and skate around a little bit under heavy braking .
Secondly , the electronics suite . On the day , on this track , I personally felt like the quick shift and traction control didn ’ t add any value to the rider experience . The good thing is you can just adjust those functions on or off to suit your own preferences at the press of a button . As for the tyre , with the money you save on Triumph ’ s aggressive pricing you will be able to swap that out several times over in comparison to some other brands . All-in-all , an amazing first attempt . Triumph has skipped all the years of trial and error and have come out with what the people want .
The TF 250-X ’ s alloy frame ,
KYB suspension and Brembo brakes are hard to beat . I would rate this bike a solid 9.5 / 10 from my couple of hours spent on one . I will be very surprised if these bikes don ’ t start flying off the shelves and appearing at races and rides all over the country shortly . If it ’ s black , it ’ s on track ! JONO HILL
