Did Triumph just tease its new enduro models?

It’s no secret that Triumph is developing a range of specialised off-road enduro models, but the brand has been tight-lipped on timelines and further details.

However, that could soon change, if a recent Instagram teaser is anything to go by.

A cryptic post from Triumph Racing shows an off-road bike traversing what appears to be a hard enduro or endurocross course. While details on the bike are not visible in the short video, the caption – which reads “new terrain, new challenges, new goals” – is a decent hint that enduro models are on the way.

Triumph used the post to tell its audience to “stay tuned”, suggesting an announcement of some description is imminent.

But a full reveal of the enduro models may be some time away, as the Triumph Racing social channels are focused on the brand’s professional racing efforts.

If Triumph was to follow a similar publicity campaign to its TF250-X motocross machine, then it is likely we will see a race-ready version of the new enduro models before the final production version.

On that line of thinking, the incoming announcement could possibly relate to planned entries into major off-road championships, such as the Enduro World Championship and the FIM Hard Enduro series.

A dedicated Triumph enduro model would join the brand’s TF250-X motocross model, which debuted earlier this year. A 450cc motocross bike is also coming soon.

The enduro models will use a similar platform to the motocross bikes, but they will likely differ with a headlight, wide-ratio gearbox, a smaller rear wheel, bigger fuel tank, and specially-tuned engine and suspension.

Triumph has given no hints on capacities for the enduro range, but there is a feeling in the motorcycle community that 250cc and 450cc four-stroke variants are likely.

Other brands often include 350cc and 500cc four-stroke variants in their enduro lineups, but it is unlikely Triumph will cover off all these capacities from the beginning. It is also increasingly unlikely there will be any two-stroke variants.
