RIDE REVIEW I 2026 TRIUMPH TF 450-E
play behind the front plate with
speed, a neutral indicator, and a
low-fuel light. The license plate
holder on the rear fender gives
the bike a bit of a dual sport
look, but it's pure off-road.
Bodywork looks nearly the
same as the TF motocrosser,
and you'll find the same vented
side plate that covers the air
box. They've made the air filter
removable without the need for
tools for easier maintenance.
The Triumph also has a gripper
seat cover but without ribs for
added comfort over longer rides.
You have two engine-map
-
ping options on the Triumph,
controlled via a switchblock on
the left handlebar. Mode one
(light off) is standard and the
more aggressive option; mode
two (light on) is the smoother
option. The switchblock also
adjusts traction control, quick
-
shift, and launch control. The
Enduro model, however, does
not include the Wi-Fi module,
so personalizing the two maps
is not as straightforward as
it is with the RC motocrosser.
The Wi-Fi module, however, can
be purchased separately from
Triumph.
The Triumph TF 450-E also
features other off-road perks,
such as a radiator fan, skid plate
and handguards.
The Triumph TF 450-E
weighs 17 pounds more than
its MX cousin but is about $200
cheaper, at $10,795.
TRAILBLAZIN'
Triumph says the TF 450-E is a
competition enduro bike de-
signed to compete with bikes
like the Honda CRF450X and
the Yamaha WR450F, which are
technically classified as high-
performance trail bikes. The X
meets California's now-defunct
"green sticker" program, while
the WR and the Triumph qualify
for red stickers, which, in a nut
-
shell, means it can't be ridden in
certain public areas year-round
