Why buy the TF 250-E from Empire
The most tech for the money in the 250 enduro class — and hundreds to thousands cheaper than the usual premium picks.
- ✓Electronics the class rarely offers. Traction control, launch control AND an up/down quickshifter — standard. Rivals at this displacement usually give you traction control at most; the full suite is a genuine differentiator.
- ✓Premium hardware, e-start. KYB enduro-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes and electric start — a proper, ready-to-race technical enduro package.
- ✓Undercuts the Austrians by ~$1,800. $9,795 against roughly $11,599 for the KTM 250 EXC-F and $11,749 for the Husqvarna FE 250 — a lot of premium enduro for the money.
- ●Straight talk. KTM and Husqvarna have decades of enduro pedigree, the deepest race support and by far the biggest aftermarket; the Yamaha WR250F is cheaper still and famously durable. The Triumph is the tech-loaded value newcomer — an all-new platform whose long-term parts network is still growing (Empire being your local support).
And the price is the price. Our advertised number already includes freight, setup and our documentation fee — only sales tax and title/registration are added.
