2018 Husqvarna® TC 85 17/14

Raising the bar in the competitive 85cc class, the all new generation TC 85 features much of the same technology found in the successful full-size Husqvarna motocross line-up. With an all new frame and state of the art WP suspension, young mini riders can push the limit confidently while a new engine delivers a stronger and more controllable power delivery ensuring top level performance and durability for the future stars of tomorrow.

• Frame

Professionally crafted by WP Performance Systems, the Chromium Molybdenum steel frame is constructed using hydro formed tubes joined by precision robot welding to ensure the highest level of consistent quality.

• WP AER 43

The WP AER 43 consists of a split fork design using a capsuled air spring in the left leg and the trusted oil damping system in the right leg. The new components offer a significant improvement in suspension performance with an increase in wheel travel to 280 mm total (+10 mm).

• WP Xplor rear shock

On the rear, a specific version of the new WP XPlor PDS shock absorber is fitted to the TC 85. The design offers improved progression and response which is further improved by lowering the mounting angle by 3°. Wheel travel is increased by 5 mm and is 305 mm total.

• Subframe

Made from lightweight aluminium, the new subframe features a shorter and more compact profile. Overall, the component is now 75 mm shorter and 0.2 kg lighter which not only contributes to the overall weight reduction but also improves mass centralisation.

• Airbox

The air filter is easily accessed, without tools, by removing the left side panel. Easy maintenance is guaranteed by the Twin Air filter and filter cage design that features a simple fail proof mounting system for safe and accurate filter installation.

• Cooling

New radiators produced by WP Performance Systems are designed using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) to ensure the ideal passage of air through the cooling fins. Combined with a revised routing of the coolant circuit, the new system ensures the optimal engine temperature for the highest performance.

• Swingarm

Manufactured using a gravity die-cast production process, the one-piece aluminium swingarm offers exceptional strength at the lowest possible weight. For easy maintenance, the chain adjustment markings are visible from above making chain adjustment even simpler.

• Exhaust

The new exhaust system is perfectly suited to the power characteristics of the engine and contributes to the outstanding performance and ride-ability all round. Additionally, the new silencer is 50 mm shorter improving mass centralisation.

• Engine

The TC 85 engine uses the latest in 2-stroke technology to deliver unrivalled performance in the competitive 85cc class. With an unchanged bore and stroke, the engine is 0.69 kg lighter and delivers improved power and ride-ability along the complete RPM range.

• Cylinder

The cylinder is designed around an all new power valve system. The new system controls both the exhaust valve and the sub exhaust port for significantly improved power, torque and controllability. As a result, the TC 85 receives a significant increase in mid-range performance reducing the need to use the clutch in loamy or sandy conditions.
