Triumph TF 450‑E – The New Standard in Enduro Racing. Power with Precision.
Under the sculpted plastics lies a 449.9 cc liquid‑cooled single-cylinder engine, delivering around 57.8 hp (58 PS) and 35–49 Nm of torque, depending on the spec cited The engine’s linear power curve, calibrated for smooth, tractable delivery, puts its strength squarely in the low- and mid-range, ideal for traction-sensitive, off-road terrain.
The TF 450‑E was engineered in collaboration with five-time World Champion Iván Cervantes and four-time World Enduro Champion Paul Edmondson, who helped shape everything from engine characteristics to handling geometry for hard enduro competition.
This is no modified motocross bike—it’s built on a purpose-built aluminum spine frame, refined for enduro use with altered swingarm profiles, reduced 10 mm suspension travel, and KYB suspension tailored to absorb bumps without pitching in corners.
Premium components include:
Electronics include an Athena-managed ECU offering two switchable engine maps (race or slick/technical mode), traction control, launch control, and a clutchless quickshifter for smooth gear changes from 2nd to 6th gear The switchgear is backlit and glove-friendly, best-in-class usability even in muddy conditions.
Ergonomics & User-Focused Design

Triumph is positioning the TF 450‑E as a competition-ready enduro machine, priced around $10,795 USD with deliveries beginning May–June 2025 Models are available via Triumph’s Motocross & Enduro Centres with global support and accessory options.
Why the TF 450‑E Stands Out
| Feature | Why It Matters |
| Engine feel | Smooth, controllable power avoids dumping traction in tricky terrain |
| Component quality | Factory-spec Brembo, KYB, Galfer offer race-grade reliability |
| Tech customization | Engine maps and traction control let you tailor responses to conditions |

In essence, the Triumph TF 450‑E isn’t just a heavyweight in name—it brings race-focused engineering, premium hardware, and modern rider tech to define a new chapter in the hard enduro world. Whether you’re competing or just pushing your limits in the wild, this bike aims to deliver next-level control, reliability, and confidence right out of the crate.
