VOLUME ISSUE JULY , P33 2026 Triumph TF 250-X T he 2026 Triumph TF 250-X has a few minor updates. The most notable is a brand-new airbox and silencer redesigned to enhance airflow. Along with updated engine mapping, these changes lead to "improved power delivery and throttle response," according to Triumph. The '26 is equipped with a new Exedy clutch that Triumph says "delivers a more direct engage - ment, enhanced durability under extreme conditions, and significantly increases torque capacity." Updated suspension tuning focused on improving mid-stroke control, chas - sis balance, and cornering stability. Details include a new layout for the battery tray for better accessibility and a redesigned oil-level sight glass for clearer and more accurate readings. And, it goes without saying, it has new graphics. Availability has not yet been an - nounced, nor has the price. CN 2026 Suzuki RM-Z450 & 250 T he big news here is that there is no news to report about the 2026 Suzuki RM-Z450 ($9399) and RM- Z250 ($8299).

Suzuki will again offer a limited number of RM Army Edition versions of both the 450 and 250. This pack- age includes a Pro Circuit RM Army Edition T-6 full exhaust system with a titanium silencer shell, carbon-fiber end cap, and stainless-steel header at no extra cost with the purchase of a new 2026 RM-Z.
