Husqvarna Motorcycles is pleased to introduce the 2019 TC 50, TC 65 and TC 85 motocross models – a complete line-up of three 2-stroke motorcycles that combine premium technology with top-end componentry to offer young riders one of the most advanced mini motocross ranges currently available.
The 2019 TC 50, TC 65 and TC 85 machines offer the next generation of motocross riders the chance to experience the thrill of riding their first real race machine. Perfectly embodying Husqvarna’s pioneering spirit, all three new models continue to set the benchmark in terms of handling, power and weight in their respective classes.
HUSQVARNA TC 50
Offering the same striking looks and ergonomic feel as Husqvarna’s full-sized motocross machines, the TC 50 is perfect for the motocross stars of tomorrow. Featuring superior quality components, the TC 50 has been designed from the ground up in order to be a true premium 50 cc motocross bike. The TC 50 is built around an advanced steel frame, which houses the most powerful engine in its category.
Featuring the latest in 2-stroke technology, the engine makes use of a 3-shaft design for improved mass centralization. The exhaust is specifically designed to match the characteristics of the 2-stroke powerplant. The engine is fitted with an automatic centrifugal clutch that reduces riding complexity for younger riders. Part of the official Husqvarna Motorcycles Accessories range, a special kit allows for a reduction of the power for less aggressive riders.
Leading components such as the WP suspension add up to create a motorcycle that sets the benchmark in the class. The TC 50 is fitted with a revolutionary WP AER 35 fork.
Besides being very light, the 35 mm forks allow the rider to push the limits with confidence. With 205 mm of wheel travel, the air unit in the left fork leg can be adjusted with an air pump. Offering 185 mm of suspension travel, the WP monoshock is matched perfectly to the front forks.
