Triumph Motorcycles has joined in on the recent announcements of new motocross models, revealing its 2025 250cc motocross model, the TF 250-X. In its model’s second year, the 2025 TF 250-X has a few changes, highlighted by “new optimized fuel maps, refreshed graphics, and competitive new price.” You can read full details below but note that the 2024 Triumph TF 250-X was priced at $9,995, whereas the 2025 TF 250-X is priced at $9,495—$500 less than last year’s model.
The brand was expected to release a 450cc model that we would see the Triumph Factory Racing team debut in the premier class of the 2025 SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) this season, but it sounds like the 450cc bike will likely not go racing until the 2026 SMX season. In the meantime, the brand did launch their Ricky Carmichael TF 450-RC Edition in early October (basically their “factory edition” bike), which is priced at $10,995 USD and $13,295 CAD and will arrive to Triumph dealerships beginning in February 2025.
In terms of the 250cc race team, the four-rider team for the 2025 SMX season was announced last week, which includes Austin Forkner, Jordon Smith, and Stilez Robertson joining returning rider Jalek Swoll.

The following press release is from Triumph Racing:
TRIUMPH REVEALS 2025 TF 250-X
- New optimized fuel maps, refreshed graphics, and competitive new price
- TF 250-X continues class-leading power-to-weight ratio and the highest specification components
- Designed and developed by Triumph’s world leading engineers in close collaboration with motocross/supercross champions
- Available in Triumph Off-Road dealers from January, 2025
Triumph Motorcycles has announced the TF 250-X with updated fuel maps and graphics for model year 2025. The 2025 TF 250-X still showcases a class-leading power to weight ratio and the most complete specification package in the ultra-competitive 250cc motocross market.
The TF 250-X set a new benchmark for performance with its ultra-lightweight aluminum chassis and high-performance powertrain, offering a thrilling ride for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Building on Triumph’s racing success in 2024 the new TF 250-X incorporates updated ECU maps that delivers a more consistent fuel and power delivery through the speed load range, whether the motorcycle is hot or cold. The new fuel maps are available to be updated on MY24 TF 250-X models by Triumph Off-Road Dealerships. Additionally, the Triumph MX Tune Pro app continues to allow riders to adjust maps and monitor diagnostics in real-time, adding an elevated level of customizability.
Originally developed entirely by Triumph in close collaboration with racing champions including Ricky Carmichael and Iván Cervantes, the four-stroke model is a ground-up design first released in 2024. The performance racing powertrain and unique aluminum chassis are ultra compact and super light, with the best components on the market, already fitted out of the crate.
With a focused and aggressive style, the TF 250-X is slim, yet bold. It will be instantly recognizable on the track, with its minimal and lightweight presence and distinctive Triumph Racing Yellow and Black graphics scheme updated for model year 2025.
A network of Triumph dealers will offer sales, service, parts, and a new dedicated range of apparel. The network will be backed by a mobile-optimized 24/7 online parts supply system, so owners can order for express delivery, straight from the track.
Built for Champions and Everyday Riders
“Bringing the TF 250-X to market is a testament to Triumph’s commitment to the sport of motocross,” said Steve Sargent, Triumph’s Chief Product Manager. “The design and engineering behind this bike showcase Triumph’s dedication to producing a machine that can go toe-to-toe with the best in class, offering every rider—professional or amateur— the tools to perform at their peak.”
Performance Racing Powertrain & Electronics
The 2025 TF 250-X is powered by a four-stroke engine, optimized for lightweight performance. Featuring a forged aluminum piston, titanium valves, and advanced engine coatings, the TF 250-X promises exceptional durability and power delivery. Enhanced by Triumph’s new ECU mapping, riders will experience refined throttle response and power adaptability, making this machine versatile for any track challenge. The optional MX Tune Pro app offers real-time, selectable mapping, allowing riders to fine-tune their experience based on personal preference or track conditions.
Top Tier Specification
The TF 250-X features premium, top tier componentry throughout, adding up to an unrivalled specification for a production bike in this category. KYB suspension tops the list, with 1.9” (48mm) AOS coil forks, forged and machined 7075-T6 aluminum triple clamps, and a three-way piggyback coil rear shock.
The premium Brembo braking system features twin .94” (24mm) piston floating front calipers, a single 26mm piston floating rear caliper, and Galfer 10.2” (260mm) front and 8.7” (220mm) rear discs. The DirtStar 7000 Series aluminum rims and machined aluminum hubs are fitted with Pirelli Scorpion MX32 mid-soft tires. Finally, Pro-Taper ACF carbon core bars and ODI half-waffle lock on grips complete the set up.
Unmatched Handling & Control
The TF 250-X’s exclusive aluminum spine frame balances strength, agility, and flexibility. Paired with KYB suspension, including 1.9” (48mm) AOS coil forks and a three-way piggyback coil rear shock, this model provides exceptional handling and stability across rough terrains. A high-end Brembo braking system, Pirelli Scorpion MX32 tires, and Pro- Taper carbon core handlebars complete a setup that promises premium performance. The total weight of the bike sees the new TF 250-X set a new benchmark for the best ‘power-to-weight’ ratio in the category. It also delivers a high level of tunability to suit different riders and styles.
Competition Accessories
In addition to the high level of specification already included as standard, Triumph has worked with premium brands to create a dedicated range of competition accessories to further enhance performance and capability.
These accessories include:
