RIDE REVIEW I 2026 TRIUMPH TF 450-E
1.85-gallon tank on the moto-
cross-specific 450. You'll find
KYB components front and rear
tuned for off-roading. There are
10 millimeters less wheel travel
at both ends for a lower center
of gravity and to contribute to
a lower seat height, which is
nearly a half-inch lower at 37.6
inches. The TF-E's swingarm is
also longer for added stability.
The bike is fitted with a
headlight and taillight; both
are LED, with 1450 lumens up
front. There is a high/low-beam
switch on the left handlebar.
There's also a small digital dis

with a longer stroke, a larger
crank, enduro-specific mapping,
and a longer header pipe for
overall smoother power deliv-

spark arrestor. Smoother doesn't
mean slower, though; the E's 450
engine still produces a claimed
57.8 horsepower and 35.6 foot-
pounds of torque.
There's an 18-inch rear wheel
mounted with a 140/90 Michelin
Enduro 2 tire and a 51-tooth
rear sprocket, compared to the
48-tooth on the RC version.
A larger 2.2-gallon fuel tank
provides more range than the
SPECS
The new TF 450-E is based on
the motocross TF 450-RC, but
Triumph didn't take the easy
route and simply slap on an 18-
inch rear wheel, a kickstand, a
softer suspension spring and call
it an off-roader. Instead, Triumph
put some real thought into it and
made several significant off-road-
specific changes to the E model.
For starters, the E's engine is
equipped with a wide-ratio six-
speed transmission versus the
MX's close-ratio five-speed. The
updated transmission is paired
The newest Triumph has arrived—
the off-road-specific TF 450-E.
