Ricky Carmichael, a legendary American motocross rider, has been collaborating with Triumph Motorcycles to develop a new line of off road bikes. The first result of this partnership was the TF 250-X, a 250cc motocross bike designed to compete in the 250cc motocross segment.

It features an aluminum chassis, KYB suspension, and a powerful engine. Recently, Triumph revealed the TF 450-RC Edition, a 450cc motocross bike named after Carmichael.

This bike is designed to celebrate Carmichael’s involvement with Triumph and offer a powerful performance. While Triumph claims it has the best power to weight ratio in its class, specific weight and power figures have not been released.

The TF 450-RC Edition is expected to be a high-performance bike that will appeal to both professional and amateur motocross riders. It features a number of upgrades over the standard TF 450, including a different engine mapping, a revised suspension setup, and a unique graphics package.

Triumph has not yet announced the pricing or availability of the TF 450-RC Edition. However, it is expected to be available for purchase soon. Built around a hand welded aluminum frame, the bike boasts exceptional rigidity for precise handling. A coil suspension system at the front and a three way piggyback shock at the rear ensure optimal performance on any terrain.

At the heart of this beast lies a powerful 450cc single-cylinder engine, featuring high quality components like a forged aluminum piston, DelWest titanium valves, and a Dellorto throttle body. The engine delivers impressive power and torque, thanks to its efficient air intake and exhaust system.

A five speed transmission with a quick shifter allows for seamless gear changes, while an Athena engine management system offers customizable performance settings. To enhance control and braking, the bike is equipped with D.I.D DirtStar wheels, Dunlop Geomax MX34 tires, and Brembo/Galfer braking hardware.

The design of the TF 450-RC Edition is a tribute to the legendary rider Carmichael, featuring distinctive colors, graphics, and signature components. The bike’s aesthetics not only appeal to the eye but also reflect the rider’s style and preferences.

The inclusion of Carmichael’s signature number 4 and sponsor details further solidifies the bike’s connection to the rider’s legacy. Additionally, the bike features ODI RC4 handlebars, made from triple butted, tapered wall tubing, and equipped with half waffle ODI lock on grips, providing enhanced comfort and control.

With its exceptional performance, advanced features, and iconic styling, the Triumph TF 450-RC Edition is a highly anticipated addition to the motocross market. This bike offers riders the opportunity to experience the same level of excellence and performance that made Carmichael a legend in the sport.
