The presence of this motorbike is not only innovation, but also a manifestation of the experience and insight of the legend who has brought major changes in the motocross world.

Interestingly, the former world champion who was born on November 27, 1979 has been involved in the development of the motocross Triumph since 2021, making TF 450-RC one of the most anticipated motorcycles in his class.

Triumph Chief Product Officer SteveART, said that TF 450-RC Edition offers a different driving taste so that it offers new standards in the 450 cc category.

The special thing about this bike is the striking color design by combining the color Performance Yellow accompanied by black and white accents. In addition, there is the iconic number 4 belonging to my boss as well as some key sponsor details that show the personal touch of this legendary racer.

The motorbike is designed just like the actual motocross with the implementation of number boards, swingarm stickers, and other visual elements so that it is ready to be lowered in various terrains.

TF 450-RC Edition is built with an aluminum chassis designed to provide a perfect balance between performance, mass, and flexibility. In addition, the backbone and dual-seater design are tuned to be stronger but lighter weighted.

Sasis has been optimized for longitudinal, lateral, and torsional stiffness races, ensuring the best performance in extreme conditions. This allows for different controls and gives proper control during intense driving.

The manufacturer provides KYB AOS coil suspension on TF 450-RC Edition which plays a role in handling shocks when passing through mounds. This is paired with a three-way piggyback shock that allows adjustments to compression, rebound, and preload settings.

The braking part is equipped with a Kaliper from Brembo, providing an optimal response with a disc from Galfer that offers different resilience. This motorbike is paired with the well-known Dunlop Geomax MX34 tires that are tough in all terrains.

This motorbike is powered by a single cylindrical 450 cc SOHC engine designed for racing, thus producing strong power but can minimize weight. Thus, this helps agile driving.

This special motorbike will launch to the market starting February 2025 at a price starting at 10,695 (around Rp219.9 million) in the UK.
