One of the biggest announcements this year in the world of motorcycling was that Triumph was working on building a motocross bike.
That was quickly followed by months of teasing and info drops.
And now the time has finally come for Triumph to officially unveil its latest model and it is known as the TF250-X.
Triumph is back with an updated 2024 Tiger 900 range that boasts more power, enhanced capabilities, and improved comfort. The lineup now includes the Tiger 900 GT, GT Pro, and Rally Pro, all offering significant performance and feature upgrades.
Under the hood, the iconic three-cylinder engine of the Tiger 900 has undergone a major overhaul. This update results in a 13% boost in power, delivering a robust 108PS of peak power and an increased peak torque of 90Nm. The revised engine components also improve low-end tractability. The unique T-plane crank and offset firing intervals maintain the characteristic performance and sound of the Tiger 900 while delivering enhanced performance across the entire rev range and up to 9% better fuel efficiency.
The 2024 Tiger 900 range introduces advanced safety features, including improved braking for better control and reduced stopping distances. It also includes an emergency deceleration warning system that activates hazard lights during rapid braking and automatically deactivates them when you resume normal riding.
The new models feature prominent marker lights for better visibility at night and in adverse weather conditions. They are equipped with new 7″ TFT instruments with updated graphics and menus, along with a USB-C cockpit charger. My Triumph Bluetooth connectivity is now standard across all models.
The redesigned rider seat offers improved comfort for long-distance rides, with heated seats available on the GT Pro and Rally Pro models. All models feature a 20mm seat height adjustability, and there’s an option for a heated low rider seat, reducing the seat height by an additional 20mm. This results in a lower seat height as low as 800mm for GT models, enhancing accessibility.
A new damped handlebar mounting system enhances the ride’s comfort, while the Rally Pro’s enhanced handlebar position, positioned 15mm closer, facilitates a more agile ride, whether sitting or standing.
The 2024 Tiger 900 range receives a stylish makeover with new bodywork, giving each motorcycle a more aggressive and adventure-oriented appearance. The addition of contemporary paint schemes and graphics completes the refreshed look.
Triumph offers a wide selection of accessories for the new Tiger 900, including the Performance, Protection, Trekker, and Expedition kits, with more than 50 accessories in total. These kits provide various options to customize your ride.
The new Tiger 900 maintains its class-leading specifications, featuring:
The Tiger 900’s engine, known for its distinctive T-plane crank and triple exhaust note, has been further improved. It now boasts 13% more power, reaching an impressive 108PS. This power increase is felt throughout the rev range, resulting in a more robust mid-range and improved acceleration. The Tiger 900 delivers a versatile performance, making it suitable for both low-speed city rides and high-speed touring, as well as technical off-road adventures.
Each model in the Tiger 900 range features specific suspension setups to cater to different rider needs. The GT comes with Marzocchi suspension, while the GT Pro offers electronically adjustable rear suspension. The Rally Pro is equipped with Showa suspension, providing versatility on all types of roads.
The range offers a balance between road handling and off-road capability, with the GT and GT Pro featuring cast alloy wheels and the Rally Pro using tubeless spoked wheels for pure off-road performance.
All three Tiger 900 models are equipped with Brembo Stylema brake calipers, ensuring effective stopping power and a responsive lever feel for controlled and smooth braking.
The 2024 Tiger 900 incorporates new active safety features to enhance visibility on the road. Optimized cornering ABS and Traction Control are standard, with multiple riding modes to suit various conditions. The GT Pro and Rally Pro models provide additional customization for riders. Triumph’s Slip and Assist clutch system offers a light clutch lever action to reduce rider fatigue.
The Pro models also feature the Triumph Shift Assist system, enabling clutch-less gear changes. My Triumph Connectivity System is standard on all Tiger 900 models, providing access to music, phone, and turn-by-turn navigation through a user-friendly 7″ TFT display.
Comfort is a priority with the redesigned seat, featuring 20mm adjustability and heated options on the Pro models. A damped handlebar mounting system and improved handlebar position contribute to a more comfortable and agile ride.
The Tiger 900 range embraces a bold and adventure-focused look with redesigned bodywork and striking paint schemes. Over 50 accessories and four accessory kits are available, including a new Akrapovič silencer for weight reduction and improved sound.
Triumph’s 2024 Tiger 900 range offers more power, enhanced capabilities, advanced safety features, and improved comfort, making it a formidable choice for riders seeking a versatile and adventure-ready motorcycle.
The latest addition to Triumph’s lineup, the Stealth Edition motorcycles, introduces a captivating, darker aesthetic to the renowned British brand.
These Stealth Edition bikes, totaling eight in number and are of Bonneville derivatives, step in as successors to the previous year’s Chrome Collection, which had itself replaced the 2021 Gold Line models.
This exclusive collection comprises the following Triumph Bonneville derivatives: the Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster (red), Triumph Bonneville Bobber (purple), Triumph Bonneville T100 (blue), Triumph Bonneville T120 (blue), Triumph Bonneville T120 Black (black), Triumph Speed Twin 1200 (red), Triumph Speed Twin 900 (green), and Triumph Scrambler 900 (orange).
Each of these motorcycles in the collection boasts a unique color scheme, with the hue elegantly adorning the fuel tank and gradually transitioning to a stylish graphite black towards the front of the tank.
It’s important to note that none of these bikes receive any performance enhancements or technical alterations. The Stealth Edition bikes are primarily a visual transformation compared to their standard counterparts.
Triumph has underlined that the Stealth Edition bikes are hand-painted in a custom style and, similar to the previous Chrome Collection and Gold Line, will only be available for a limited duration of one year. Enthusiasts can already place orders for these models at Triumph dealers, and these bikes are expected to be available in dealerships from February 2024.
The honor of piloting Triumph’s new motocross machine fell to none other than Jeff ‘Six Time’ Stanton, a legendary figure in the motocross world who clinched his last championship victory at the Coliseum.
Stanton, who currently serves as the manager of Triumph’s Adventure Experience in the United States, demonstrated the bike’s capabilities with finesse and enthusiasm. Joining him was motocross icon Ricky Carmichael, often hailed as the Greatest of All Time (GOAT), who showcased a bike featuring his unique graphics and non-standard specification components.

Speaking to his fellow commentators after his exhilarating ride, Ricky Carmichael expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “I’m so happy to finally show the fans what we’ve been working on for the past 4 years. The bike feels great, it looks great, and it’s fast. I’m really pleased with what we’ve delivered, and I can’t wait until we can share the final details on November 28th.”
Jeff Stanton, reflecting on his triumphant return to the Coliseum aboard the Triumph, commented, “The Coliseum is a special place for me, and to be back here on the Triumph is an absolute honor for me. The new graphics look like nothing else in the paddock and give the bike a really sharp and distinctive new look that I think the fans are going to love.”
In conjunction with the bike’s unveiling, Triumph also launched its brand-new Triumph Racing website and social media channels. To stay updated on all the action and developments, enthusiasts are encouraged to follow Triumph Racing on Instagram and Facebook under the handle @OfficialTriumphRacing.
Ricky Carmichael, known for his unparalleled skills in the motocross world, praised the bike for its balanced design and agility. “It’s really balanced, it’s good how it pulls coming out of the corner, it’s very nimble. When you see a line, boom, you can do it,” Carmichael said in the film.

He was joined by Evan Ferry, an emerging talent in motocross who has also participated in the bike’s testing program. Ferry seemed especially impressed with the bike’s frame. “They found something special with the frame. I don’t think I’ve ever felt something like that,” Ferry added.
The ‘Vision to Reality’ films have been rolling out as a teaser leading up to the grand reveal of the new 250cc bike. These films offer a behind-the-scenes look, introducing viewers to the team behind the development, as well as glimpses into the all-new aluminum chassis and engine.
While the release date for the bike remains under wraps, the buzz around the final film suggests that motorcycle enthusiasts are in for a treat when the bike finally hits the market.

Through these interviews, riders and fans alike gain insights into the engineering marvel that has been meticulously designed to cater to a diverse range of abilities.
Motocross legend and Triumph Ambassador Ricky Carmichael, who is known for his unmatched prowess on the track, highlighted the distinctive features of the new engine. “This engine has its own identity,” Carmichael remarked, “and I think one of the best things about it is the way that it’s designed and developed, which enables riders with a very wide range of abilities to be able to ride the bike. It’s light and compact, and the power delivery is great for all forms of riders.”
