New Husqvarna TC 85 19/16 model details, with links to new and used dealer listings and latest Husqvarna deals

Overview
The TC 85 is the ultimate machine for young racers before they step up to the full-size lineup of motocross machines available from Husqvarna Motorcycles. Its high-revving, powerful 85 cc 2-stroke engine delivers unrivalled performance and is perfectly positioned inside a chromium-molybdenum steel chassis to aid handling. The overall riding experience can be customised by engaging a choice of two engine maps, while the latest WP suspension is fully adjustable for a tailored setup. Completing the high-specification build of the TC 85 is a comprehensive selection of race-tested parts from Formula, Galfer, Neken, Pankl, and Twin Air.

Performance

• Engine: Utilising the latest 2-stroke technology, this engine outperforms the competition in the 85 cc class. Performance is customisable using two engine maps. A close-ratio six-speed gearbox and hydraulic clutch complete the competitive build.
• Cylinder: Lightweight aluminium design features an innovative powervalve system for top-notch performance. The cylinder head boosts bottom- to mid-range power, reducing clutch feathering on challenging tracks.
• Crankcase: High-pressure die-cast construction with thinner walls reduces weight while maintaining strength. Mass centralisation is enhanced by bringing internal components closer to the centre of gravity.
• Clutch: The hydraulic system from Miba ensures smooth, consistent performance and near maintenance-free operation. The clutch is housed in a strong steel basket for durability.

Chassis

• Frame: Built from hydro-formed chromium molybdenum steel, offering both strength and precise flex. Engine placement optimises balance and delivers smooth cornering.
• WP XACT Front Forks: Advanced 43 mm WP XACT AER forks with 278 mm travel. The left leg contains an adjustable air spring, accessible with a pump for rider preference, weight, and track conditions.
• WP XACT PDS Shock: Fully adjustable rear shock with 289 mm travel, mounted directly to the swingarm using PDS (Progressive Damping System) for superior traction and stability.
• Subframe: One-piece polyamide glass fibre-reinforced aluminium construction—lightweight yet rigid for excellent control and rider feedback.

Components

• Graphics: Inspired by Swedish heritage, the white and yellow graphics are applied using durable in-mold technology.
• Bodywork: Ergonomic design tailored to 85 cc riders. Slim profile allows better grip with the knees and freedom of movement.
• Brakes: Floating calipers from Formula paired with Galfer discs (240 mm front, 220 mm rear) offer reliable, performance-oriented braking. Formula master cylinders and hoses contribute to durability and optimized performance.
• Wheels: Black Excel rims (19″ front, 16″ rear) laced to CNC-machined hubs with strong spokes. Maxxis Maxxcross MX-ST tyres deliver excellent traction, straight-line stability, and predictability across diverse terrain.
• Handlebars & Grips: Tapered, black anodised Neken handlebars with modern bend and high-quality aluminium construction allow for vibration damping and stability. ODI grips in black secure control, including features like a throttle grip that’s vulcanized on, a left grip clamped tight, and a protective bar pad at the mounts.

Technology

• Airbox: Engineered for ideal airflow with inlet ducts and an easily accessible Twin Air filter behind the left side panel for quick and tool-free replacement.
• Cooling: High-performance Pankl radiators—scaled-down versions from full-sized bikes—circulate coolant through the cylinder and crankcases to maintain consistent temperatures. A threaded radiator cap allows easy coolant checks.
• Swingarm: One-piece design produced via gravity die-casting for strength and low weight. Clear chain adjustment markers simplify maintenance, and a durable chain guide/slider resists dirt buildup.
• Exhaust: Seamless header pipes (internal welds removed) and optimised geometry maximize flow. The silencer features a sleek, black anodised finish.
• Foot Pegs: Larger design enhances grip and resists mud accumulation. The refined mounting prevents catching in ruts—helping maintain momentum.
