A proven engine package!

At the heart of the TF 450-C is the latest engine developed by Triumph for competition, offering best-in-class performance and power-to-weight ratio in the cross-country segment.
The model offers smooth, controllable torque for technical terrain, linear power for precision on singletrack and explosive acceleration for high-speed racing. Forged aluminum piston, DelWest titanium valves and Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) treatments reduce friction and enhance durability. The lightweight magnesium cover and advanced cooling system guarantee consistent performance, making this engine as tough as it is responsive.

The TF 450-C is designed for riders who demand power and endurance over long, demanding stages. Its 450 cm3, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine develops 62.4 hp at 9,500 rpm and 49.9 Nm at 7,000 rpm, with wider torque and high-rpm performance that dominate steep climbs and high-speed straights.

A high-capacity clutch with hard-anodized basket, Brembo hydraulic calipers and master cylinders with Galfer discs, plus a five-speed gearbox with quickshifter, offer seamless control and endurance. The narrow engine design improves interaction with the brake pedal, giving riders the confidence to push harder over varied terrain.

Specially adapted to the rigors of GNCC-style racing and long-distance endurance events, the unique aluminum frame features dual cradles and a lightweight construction that maximizes strength without compromising responsiveness.

Combined with off-road-optimized suspension and rider-centric geometry, the chassis offers a high level of adjustability to suit different rider styles and preferences, enabling them to go further, ride longer and stay in control in all conditions.
