Triumph Celebrates Superb Inaugural Enduro Season with the TF 250-E
The newly launched TF 250-E has made a remarkable debut in its first year of competition, powering Triumph Motorcycles to multiple successes across the FIM EnduroGP World Championship, including third, fourth, and fifth in the Enduro1 category and two top 10 finishes in the EnduroGP standings. Its impressive performance also extended to the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE), three national championship victories, and standout results in indoor and hard enduro events, cementing the TF 250-E as a formidable force in the off-road racing world.
Entering a completely new segment, Triumph kicked off its campaign at the highest level of enduro with strong performances. At the opening round in Portugal, the TF 250-E was immediately competitive; the new enduro machine took four top 10s in EnduroGP over the two days, and two podium finishes in the Enduro1 class with riders Mikael Persson, Jamie McCanney and Morgan Lesiardo.
It set the scene for a very respectable debut season, where Triumph-mounted riders clinched 15 podium finishes in Enduro1 over the seven rounds of competition. Triumph Racing Italia’s Lesiardo finished the season in third, with Triumph Factory Racing’s McCanney in fourth, and Persson fifth, despite missing the final round due to injury. Persson also concluded the year seventh in EnduroGP, with Lesiardo one place behind in eighth position. A season highlight was when Lesiardo took a 2-1 finish in Enduro1 at the penultimate round of the championship in Italy, his home race, taking Triumph’s first class victory in the EnduroGP World Championship and with it an EnduroGP podium in second.
In addition, both Persson and Lesiardo enjoyed strong outings at the prestigious International Six Days Enduro. Persson delivered to help Team Sweden to their first podium in 17 years in second position, while Team Italy took a very popular home victory at the Bergamo venue, adding to the TF 250-E’s ever-growing list of accolades.
In the domestic championships, McCanney clinched the ACU British Enduro Championship title with Persson a close second; Triumph TF 250-E machinery dominated the season overall. McCanney also took the British Sprint Enduro title, while Lesiardo took Enduro1 honours in the Italian national enduro series earlier in the season.
Further strengthening the TF 250-E’s credentials has been Jonny Walker, who finished on the podium at every round in the 2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship on his way to second in the series. The popular British star took an outstanding sixth place finish against the traditional 2-strokes at the notoriously difficult Red Bull ErzbergRodeo, while also finishing as runner-up at the Red Bull Tyne Ride. Jonny recently debuted the TF 450-E in AMA EnduroCross, winning the opening round with a 3-1-1 finish across the three races.
