I miss the days of picking up MXA at the grocery store..... I'm not sure if my local grocery store has it, but I'll look next time I'm there. I just remember being a kid in the 90's and spending the whole grocery trip there, with mom, but in the magazine section while she shopped
MXA and Josh ALWAYS do such an amazing job, thank you. The bike looks great. Within a couple years, they will have these dialed in and they will be awesome! Good job Triumph.
From the way Josh explains the way the motor revs made me think of my 2009 rmz 450 because it’s power band starts very very smooth but it just pulls like a tractor and revs out really high which once again from how he explained the triumph power band it seems similar in my eyes!
@ the best part of the Triumph bike is the frame and suspension, power you can manage and also switch between maps and you still have the traction control, all of that can help you on find the best power for your ride skills but when you have a bike that is stable and holds it line and easy to fix mistakes, man that changes a lot you get faster and more confident, I tell you from my own experience changing from KTM to Triumph was the best thing ever.
The 450 looks good cant wait for ducati. Idk if i want to stick w honda 450's or try a new beta 450rx they look pretty sweet seem to run good with a few upgrades just to try something different. But the 25 hondas and Yamaha 450s are great. The 450 triumph needs a 120 rear though weird it doesn't would have gripped better especially in those conditions and the triumph 250f has that weird whistle sounds wonder why.
The skinny tire is a trick to make it feel more responsive. Less weight to spin makes it rev freer. Back in the two stroke days we'd run a smaller tire if the track had good grip because it would let you get on the pipe faster. I'm pretty sus of it on the Triumphs, it makes me think they're big time under powered.
Handsome bike, but that black plastic takes away from the appeal of the overall bike. I wonder how that dark green Triumph color with the white rear end of the bike would look? I loath RC4 so I would never buy anything he helped develop or endorsed, but that is my own personal feelings. Thank you MXA wrecking crew for the content!
Expected a better review from you guys. Completely glossed over reviewing the chassis / handling of the Triumph which is on of the most important aspects of a 450.
I would not buy bike due to that switch-that would break on any of my rides-too big-I buy moto bikes and do 40-50 mile loops thru nasty woods on the north shore-been doing this since 1974

And Ricky help build them both.
That 09 rmz 450 would hit rev limiter at super low rpm, you had to short shift the hell out of that bike
Fantastic review. MXA always the best bike coverage
best looking bike in the game
Man I am so ready for this bike 🔥🔥🔥
I’m coming around. After listening to this and RacerX, it sounds like it might be a pretty vet friendly bike with KYB….

I have to admit it's the best looking bike.
Make 350!!!
Bike looks very composed 👍
Would be nice this development go into the enduro n adv model in the long term🤞
WOW AMAZING BIKE❤
Can Glen Helen get some of that chocolate cake?
Any source on the 250 updates? I have one and have not heard anything about the ECU or clutch upgrades
I wanna ride one !!!
Let's hype Triumph up so they build a 250 2 stroke!

Thing looks sick! Sound requirements are a joke. They’re going to sell a ton of after market pipes

Why do you loathe RC?

Can't wait to see this and a ducati up against ktm and honda
