New and improved 701 Enduro and 701 Supermoto from Husqvarna Mobility

Husqvarna Mobility is excited to announce the 2026 701 Enduro and 701 Supermoto models – innovative machines that have been meticulously upgraded with stronger engines, new bodywork, and advanced technology. Setting the benchmark for large-displacement, single-cylinder motorcycles, the latest 701 Enduro and 701 Supermoto both promise to deliver an unparalleled riding experience.

The two machines, each uniquely characterised by Husqvarna’s Swedish DNA, are equipped with a new 4.2” TFT dashboard, which offers enhanced connectivity and a modern interface. An RPM display and gear selection indicator are clearly visible at a glance, while the overall layout stays slim and minimal in its design. From the handlebars, riders can quickly personalise their motorcycle by engaging their choice of ride modes and by activating or deactivating Traction Control or ABS. These options allow for a truly customised set-up on both the 701 Enduro and 701 Supermoto.

Dynamic Slip Adjust is a brand-new feature on the 701 Enduro. Available exclusively in optional Rally Mode, it automatically adjusts the permitted rear wheel slip based on the available traction in any given situation. Importantly, Dynamic Slip Adjust is designed solely to increase rear wheel slip by lowering the level of Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC) when additional spin is needed – it does not reduce slip.

For example, if a rider is using a high MTC setting and hits a muddy patch or steep climb, the system temporarily allows more wheel spin without cutting engine power. Once traction is regained, torque and slip levels automatically return to the original MTC setting.

Supermoto+ ABS, fitted to the 701 Supermoto, builds on the popular Supermoto ABS Modes from previous generations. This new feature allows riders to deliberately slide the rear wheel through a limited angle when entering corners. During this maneuver, ABS remains active on the front wheel for continued stability.

Also exclusive to the 701 Supermoto, new Sport ABS enables the rider to brake more aggressively before the ABS system intervenes, with control maintained on both the front and rear wheels. Compared to Road ABS, Sport ABS permits higher brake pressure at greater lean angles, offering improved control and allowing experienced riders to brake harder before ABS engagement.

Each model now features a redesigned LC4 engine that is compliant with latest emissions requirements and still delivers increased power and efficiency. This renowned single-cylinder engine produces perfectly linear and controllable power, ensuring exceptional performance together with outstanding chassis agility and handling. Additionally, the updated WP suspension and new electronics, including advanced ride modes and ABS options, further enhance the riding experience.

On the open road, the 701 Enduro is a highly proficient machine with an understated, Swedish-inspired white and blue livery. With the ability to completely disengage the ABS, riders can take full control of braking on loose terrain. For the 701 Supermoto, a commanding presence throughout every ride is delivered by its distinctive white and yellow colour scheme, while the four-piston Brembo front brake calliper and 320 mm brake disc ensure superior stopping power.

New bodywork is a fundamental technical upgrade on both models, modernising the iconic, classic design of the motorcycles while enhancing the overall riding experience. The latest machines feature restyled graphics for a fresh look, ensuring each one stands out from the crowd.

Triumph Powers into Cross County Racing with New TF 250-C and TF 450-C

Triumph Motorcycles unveils two new additions to its ground-breaking off-road line up; the TF 250-C and TF 450-C. Purpose-built for cross country domination, these race-ready machines will be available in the United States, Canada, France, and New Zealand, bringing championship-winning engineering to riders who demand performance, endurance, and control.

Developed in collaboration with elite riders and tested across the world’s toughest terrain, the TF 250-C and TF 450-C blend motocross DNA with cross country resilience. Designed for riders chasing GNCC podiums or carving through technical trails, these bikes deliver the agility, torque, and stamina to go the distance, and get there first.

Triumph’s best-in-class TF 250 and TF 450 powertrains are optimised for cross country with three specially developed engine maps, available with the accessory MX Tune Pro Module, refined torque delivery and race-ready durability. The tailored, lightweight chassis, premium suspension with cross country settings and a large 8.3 litre fuel tank, provide even more agility and endurance. Giving racers the extra edge, top tier advanced electronics and rider aids enhance control and confidence across changing terrain.

2026 Triumph TF 250-C

2026 Triumph TF 450-C

Triumph Motorcycles’ Chief Commercial Officer, Paul Stroud, said: “Our motocross and enduro models have already made their mark on the global racing scene, earning podiums and praise in their debut seasons. With the TF 250-C and TF 450-C, we’re bringing that same competitive edge to cross country for riders in the US, Canada, France and New Zealand. These new bikes are built to highest standards and have been through relentless development and testing to deliver race-winning performance in the most demanding conditions. We’re excited to see them compete at the highest level.”

Proven power tuned for the trail

At the heart of the TF 250-C and TF 450-C are Triumph’s latest competition-developed engines, delivering best-in-class performance and power-to-weight ratios to the cross country segment.

Both models deliver smooth, controllable torque for technical terrain, linear power delivery for singletrack precision and explosive acceleration for high-speed racing. Forged aluminium pistons, DelWest titanium valves, and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings reduce friction and enhance durability. Lightweight magnesium covers and advanced cooling systems ensure consistent performance under pressure, making these engines as resilient as they are responsive.

Engineered for precision and control, the TF 250-C features a high-revving 250cc four-stroke single producing 47.3 PS at 13,250 rpm and 28.3 Nm at 9,250 rpm, making it the agile choice for riders who thrive on technical terrain and rapid transitions.

In contrast, the TF 450-C is built for riders who demand power and stamina over long, punishing stages. Its 450cc four-stroke single delivers 62.4 PS at 9,500 rpm and 49.9 Nm at 7,000 rpm, with broader torque and high-revving performance that dominate steep climbs and high-speed straights.

A high-capacity clutch with hard anodised basket, hydraulic Brembo calipers and master cylinders with Galfer discs, and a five-speed gearbox with quickshifter, provide seamless control and endurance. The narrow engine design improves brake pedal interaction, giving riders the confidence to push harder across varied terrain.

Precision Handling

Triumph’s unique lightweight chassis is designed to deliver optimal balance, control, and confidence across the most demanding cross country terrain. Adapted specifically for the rigours of GNCC-style racing and long-format endurance events, the unique aluminium spine frame features twin cradles and a lightweight construction that maximises strength without compromising responsiveness.

Combined with advanced suspension, refined for cross country riding and rider-focused geometry, the chassis offers a high level of tunability to suit different rider styles and preferences, allowing riders to push harder, ride longer, and maintain control in every condition.

Rider-focused technology

Engineered to meet the demands of mass-start, multi-terrain cross country competition, the TF 250-C and TF 450-C are equipped with a premium selection of components and advanced electronics. Providing a competitive edge, both models feature app-controlled engine management, dual engine maps, launch assist, traction control, and a quickshifter for clutchless upshifts between second and fifth gear. These rider aids allow seamless adaptation to changing terrain and race strategy, enhancing confidence and control throughout every stage of the course.

Suspension performance is delivered by KYB’s renowned AOS coil system, featuring air-oil separation for consistent damping and precise handling. D.I.D DirtStar 7000-series aluminium rims with black anodised finish are paired with Triumph-designed lightweight hubs and Dunlop Geomax AT82 all-terrain tyres, offering exceptional grip, agility, and durability across varied terrain.

Additional race-ready features include ODI lock-on grips, ProTaper Evo MX Alloy  handlebars, and an Exedy racing clutch for precise engagement under pressure. A Dell’Orto 44mm throttle body and Triumph’s ECU, developed in partnership with Athena, optimise engine performance, while a TwinAir washable air filter simplifies maintenance. Both models also feature 8.3L translucent fuel tanks, enduro hand guards, heavy-duty bashguards, and side stand, completing a package built for uncompromising cross country performance.

Dynamic off-road competitions

Cross country represents an opportunity for further growth in Triumph’s off-road programme. The GNCC Series in the US draws top talent and massive fan engagement, while Canada, France, and New Zealand also have thriving off-road communities and competitive cross country racing scenes.

One of the most demanding and dynamic off-road disciplines, cross country combines high-speed aggression with technical precision across natural terrain like forests, fields, and hills. With a strong emphasis on endurance, it challenges riders to adapt to constantly changing conditions over long distances. The launch of the TF 250-C and TF 450-C in these markets reflects Triumph’s commitment to supporting riders with purpose-built machines that meet the demands of this exhilarating sport.

Specialist Triumph Motocross and Enduro Centres

Triumph has a global network of more than 280 specialist Motocross and Enduro centres across Europe, the US, Canada and New Zealand, providing expert sales, servicing, parts, and race support. In partnership with Alpinestars, Triumph also offers a full range of off-road apparel.

A unique 24/7 online parts and accessories system, optimised for mobile, allows riders to order directly from the track with express delivery or click-and-collect options.
