I like the quickshifter on the
MX Triumph models, and the
one on the Enduro model is
no different. It is quick with
no hiccups and keeps the rpm
alive as you move up a gear. It
feels better than the quickshift
-
ers in the KTM and Husqvarna
bikes, which react slower
and
are more notchy. However, the
quickshifter didn't feel as ben
-
eficial for a casual trail ride as
it does
on a competition track.
However, when you're tearing
down a wide-open bomb run,
you could find it handy.
Traction control is another
option on the Triumph, but there
was no use for it on our test day.
These new Michelin tires did
their job and hooked up well in
the deep sand. Save the TC for
some slick or muddy conditions.
The premium KYB suspension
components work well on the
Triumph. The fully adjustable
48mm KYB fork is a good per
-
former and feels nice and plush.
Even
though it has slightly less
travel than the motocrosser, you
wouldn't know it, at least most
of the time. The front end is sta-
ble at speed and slices through
the tight
stuff. Flaws start ap-
pearing over your typical SoCal
desert
whoops when speeds
really pick up. You can feel the
suspension start to complain;
you can tell you're getting close
to its limit, and it's time to back
off the throttle a bit. Still, when
you consider that the Triumph
was built in England and tested
in the wet, sloppy conditions of
This bike feels agile on the trail
and is overall very rideable.
