The Triumph TF 450-RC Edition is new to the block, but I have had so many hours on it that I knew exactly where I wanted to improve on this already great first-year machine. With the Triumph TF 450-RC having such smooth engine delivery, it offers very friendly 450cc power for the “average” everyday rider. I wanted to maintain that linear power while adding some more excitement, as well as improving the suspension and chassis when loading the frame on the British brand. Hopping on a 450 that is “rideable” is one of the most fun experiences, and this build created just that. Fun!
