Flip-chip pivot on a Brembo-pattern enduro lever. Each chip position moves the pivot and changes the mechanical advantage, so the lever tip moves further for the same master-cylinder stroke and the pull gets lighter. Four chips, seven positions.
Sold as "Triumph TF250X (2024+)"; Rekluse's fitment list covers the TF 250-C, TF 250-E and TF 250-X for 2024–2026, so it fits this bike. A manual clutch: the lever works as now, launch control is unchanged, and it will still stall. What you buy is a Fixed-Pin hub that does not notch, a 12-disc TorqDrive pack, billet pressure plate and cover, and two spring sets. Rekluse list it at $1,259 (on offer at $1,133 at the time of writing); 24MX and Ghost Bikes carry it in the UK.
Seventeen steps in five phases, in the order Rekluse give them, with the Triumph figures where Rekluse defer to the OE manual. Tick as you go; ticks, notes and your own photos stay in this browser.

The TorqDrive clutch pack alone (RMS-2812002) drops 10 + 1 friction disks and 10 drive plates into the OE hub and pressure plate, reusing the Belleville spring and its five bolts. It fixes wear and grip but not the OE hub's oil flow, which is what the recall was about; the Apex hub is the reason to spend the extra.
A schematic of the TF clutch on its main shaft, drawn to Rekluse's part counts: 12 sleeves, Fixed-Pin hub, 12 friction and 13 drive plates, throw-out, plate, 6 springs, cover. The part for the current step moves; everything before it is home, everything after is not there yet. Drag to orbit, wheel or pinch to zoom.

Every figure is from the compiled TF 250-E service manual: the owner's handbook (3850136-EN) where it gives one, the owner-supplied Service Manual set tagged [OWNER] for the engine internals, mounts and suspension pivots, the Akrapovič fitting instructions [AKRA] for the silencer, and Rekluse [REK] for the Apex-TD clutch only once it is fitted. Foot-pounds are converted here; the sources give N·m. The search words and the grouping by area are mine.
Two traps the manual flags. Engine mount brackets are 25 N·m and engine mount bolts are 60; the front sprocket is 80 and the rear sprocket fixings are 45. The clutch nut is 80 on the Triumph hub and 95 on a Rekluse hub. The triple clamp bolts have no figure in either source, so that row is a reminder, not a number.
Torque figures assume clean, dry, undamaged threads. Single-use fixings (primary gear nut, chain slider frame fixing, lower slider fixing) are replaced, not reused.
A crank-angle-resolved single-cylinder model of the TF 250-E: 78 × 52.3 mm, 14.4:1, DOHC, 12,800 rpm limiter and 2,100 rpm idle per the handbook. Each cycle integrates cylinder pressure over 720° with a Wiebe heat release whose timing comes from the ignition map and whose energy and burn speed come from the fuel map. The stock map is calibrated so full-throttle peak torque lands on 27.8 N·m and peak power near 42 PS at ~12,500 rpm.
Fuel grid — percent added to or removed from stock injector time in that throttle × rpm zone. Ignition grid — degrees added to or removed from stock timing. The highlighted cell is where the engine is running now. Cells interpolate between neighbours, as the ECU does.
Calibrate from the app — type steady-state readings from Monitor 1 (rpm, throttle, inlet air pressure, FI time, IG offset) and the model bends its own pressure, fuelling and timing curves through those points, fading back to the built-in curves away from them. The more throttle × rpm corners you log, the closer this gets to your bike. Conditions (baro, air, water) also come from Monitor 1; below 60 °C water the ECU-style warm-up enrichment is on.
Clutch tab — the Trial Solutions flip-chip ladder with the maker's own percentages, the Rekluse Apex-TD kit as the manual's section 9.4 describes it, and a pull calculator that re-bases to a stock figure you measure once with a luggage scale. Rekluse publish no pull figures, so the spring effects are marked as estimates.
Apex fit tab — the Rekluse fitting sequence as a tick-list, seventeen steps in five phases, with the Triumph torques where Rekluse defer to the OE manual and a stop line on the steps that bite. Ticks, notes and photos you add are kept in this browser only; there is no backup unless you keep one.
3D guide tab — a schematic clutch on its shaft, to Rekluse's part counts, that assembles as you step through the same twenty steps: the part for the current step moves in (or out, during the strip), everything before it is home, everything after is not there yet. The explode slider spreads the stack for a look inside. It shares ticks with the Apex fit tab. The proportions are indicative, not measured from the parts.
On a phone — below 980 px the page becomes an app: fixed header, a bottom tab bar, and one scrolling column of cards. The 3D engine sits as a hero above its cards; tap a card heading to fold it; wide grids scroll sideways inside their card.
Suspension tab — a quarter-car model of each end, on Triumph's published springs, clicks and sag figures or on the EBISS sheet for your lowered bike. Damping internals are estimates calibrated so each published base setting lands on textbook damping ratios; sag arithmetic is real. Gearing tab — the handbook's ratios, 14/52 standard, driven by whatever the engine tab's map produces. Torques tab — 42 figures from the compiled service manual, searchable or by clicking the bike.
