First Look: 2018 Husqvarna Motocross Range | Latest

Husqvarna Motorcycles is pleased to introduce their 2018 TC and FC motocross machines – a line-up of eight 2-stroke and 4-stroke models.

For model year 2018 Husqvarna Motorcycles offer an all-new TC 85 together with seven TC and FC models that receive major updates in order to continue offering class-leading performance across the range. With the new from the ground up TC 85 setting new standards in its class, Husqvarna’s full-size TC and FC machines feature a series of upgrades among which are new brakes, a new battery, new graphics and a high-grip seat cover.

ALL-NEW TC 85

Introducing much of the same technology found across Husqvarna’s range of full-size motocross machines, the new generation TC 85 raises the bar in the ultra-competitive 85cc class. With an all-new frame and state of the art WP suspension, young mini riders can focus on their performance with total confidence. Featuring a new engine that delivers a broader and more controllable power delivery the new TC 85 offers top-level performance and durability. With an unchanged bore and stroke, it delivers improved performance and ease of use.

Key to the engine is a new power valve, which allows power delivery to be tailored simply and more effectively that before. The updated engine is housed inside a Cro-Mo steel frame that features all-new geometry for better handling and comfort. Offering increased torsional rigidity and less longitudinal stiffness the end result is overall enhanced agility and better high-speed stability.

Mirroring technology found in Husqvarna’s full-size motocross range, the TC 85 features all new WP AER 43 split air and oil forks, together with a specific version of the new WP XPlor PDS shock. The new components offer a significant benefit in suspension performance, with adjustment in the forks made simpler thanks to the single air pressure valve for preload and easy access clickers for compression and rebound.
