T
he TF 450-RC Edition is
Triumph Motorcycle's first
entry into the 450cc moto-
cross segment. It features a fuel-
injected SOHC 450cc engine,

actuated clutch. It has an alumi

num frame with fully adjustable
KYB suspension components,
including a coil-spring fork.

weighs 239.4 pounds wet.
The Triumph TF 450-RC
Edition pays homage to Ricky
Carmichael's involvement
throughout Triumph's motocross
program and features Ricky
Carmichael's chosen signature
graphics.
Triumph's Chief Product Of
-
ficer Steve Sargent said, "At the
end of 2023, Triumph revealed
the long-awaited TF 250-X—the
first in an all-new range of off-
road motorcycles. We now have
a brand-new 450cc competition
motocross powertrain, which
Ricky Carmichael, who is with
-
out doubt the very best in the
business, has worked with us to
develop. The TF 450-RC Edi
-
tion offers a balance of power,
precision and durability that sets
a new standard in the 450cc mo
-
tocross class. It seems only right
that the first edition should have
Ricky's name on it."
Expect the TF 450-RC Edition
to be available in February 2025
for around $14,000.
