Why buy the TF 450-E from Empire
Full-fat 450 enduro power and the class’s fullest electronics suite — for hundreds to nearly two grand less than the usual premium picks.
- ✓Strong, usable power. 57.8 hp and 35.6 lb-ft from the all-new 450 single — right in the mix with the KTM and Husqvarna, with a broad, connected delivery reviewers rate as very rideable in real terrain.
- ✓The full electronics suite. Traction control, launch control AND an up/down quickshifter standard — more rider aids than most rivals bother with at this displacement.
- ✓Premium spec, sharp price. KYB suspension, Brembo/Galfer brakes and electric start at $10,795 — roughly $1,700–$1,850 under the KTM 450 EXC-F and Husqvarna FE 450.
- ●Straight talk. The KTM/Husqvarna 450 EXC-F platform has the deepest enduro racing pedigree and the biggest aftermarket, and Beta has a devoted following with superb suspension and a bit more torque. The Triumph is the value-plus-tech alternative from a legacy brand — a brand-new platform whose parts network is still building out (Empire is 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.
