If you have been closely following the developments by Triumph Motorcycles, you’d know that the British two-wheeler brand had marked its entry into the world of motocross with the TF250 models. It was only before the brand introduced the 450 cc motocross bikes to take on the big league of 450 MX competition bikes.

With the global unveil scheduled for October 3, Triumph aims to enter the competitive championships for a year or two, gain learning and insights, and implement them on the motorcycle before making them available in the market.
