TRIUMPH: 450cc Motocross bike launched

Triumph Motorcycles reveals its first 450cc motocross bike, designed in collaboration with the GOAT, Ricky Carmichael.

The All-New Triumph TF 450-RC Edition celebrates Ricky Carmichael’s involvement throughout Triumph’s motocross programme and features Ricky Carmichael’s chosen specification and signature graphics.

Developed by world-leading Triumph engineers and Motocross Champions, the TF 450-RC Edition features the strongest power-to-weight ratio in its class. Triumph’s new 450cc competition motocross powertrain is compact, mass-optimised, and built to take the holeshot. Engineering, design, and equipment work in harmony for class-leading power, control, and flexibility.

The colour design prominently incorporates Triumph’s Performance Yellow with black and white accents. It also includes RC’s iconic number 4, GOAT logo and key sponsor details, adding a personalised flair that reflects the spirit of this motocross legend. This design crosses number boards, swingarm decals, and other visual elements, reinforcing the bike’s unique identity.

Triumph’s Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said: “At the end of 2023, Triumph revealed the long-awaited TF 250-X – the first in an all-new range of off-road motorcycles. We now have a brand new 450cc competition motocross powertrain, which Ricky Carmichael, who is undoubtedly the very best in the business, has worked with us to develop. The TF 450-RC Edition offers a balance of power, precision and durability that sets a new standard in the 450cc motocross class. It seems only right that the first edition should have Ricky’s name on it.”

UK pricing is £10,695 and the bike will be for sale in specialised motocross and enduro Triumph dealers from February 2025.
