HUSQVARNA TC 85 19/16 2023

YOUND BLOOD

Bridging the gap between the junior ranks and the full size models on offer from Husqvarna Motorcycles, the TC 85 is pivotal in the minicycle line-up. Featuring advanced hardware and utilising the latest in engine and chassis technology, the TC 85 is a highly capable machine in the hands of any youth racer.

01. CHASSIS

FRAME

Crafted to provide precise feedback to young riders, the chromium molybdenum steel frame is made using advanced robot welding and hydroformed tubes.

WP XACT FRONT SUSPENSION

Much like the forks on the larger MX range, the WP XACT fork consists of a 43mm split fork design using a capsulated air spring in the left leg and the trusted oil damping system in the right leg. These components offer remarkable suspension performance with 280 mm wheel travel.

WP XACT PDS REAR SHOCK

The WP PDS shock absorber is fitted to the TC 85. PDS meaning "progressive damping system" allows the rear end to stay stable over smaller bumps or rough terrain while also soaking up bigger hits with ease.

SUBFRAME

Made from lightweight aluminium, the subframe features a short and compact profile. The profile not only contributes to the overall low weight but also improves mass centralisation.

02. TECHNOLOGY

AIRBOX

The Twin Air filter can be easily accessed without tools, by simply removing the left side panel for quick maintenance. The airbox design allows optimum airflow and maximum filter protection.

COOLING

The TC 85 features radiators designed with computational fluid dynamics to ensure the ideal passage of air through the cooling fins for optimum engine temperature and the highest performance.

SWINGARM

The swingarm is manufactured from a single piece of aluminium using a gravity die-cast production process. This gives the swingarm exceptional strength while keeping the weight to a minimum. Chain adjustment markings are also visible from above to make for quicker, simpler adjustment.

EXHAUST

The exhaust system on the TC 85 is perfectly suited to the power characteristics of the engine and contributes to the outstanding performance and rideability all round. Additionally, the short and lightweight silencer improves mass centralisation while keeping noise levels to a minimum.

03. PERFORMANCE

ENGINE

Using the latest 2-stroke technology, the TC 85 motor delivers unrivalled performance in the competitive 85cc class. With a lively but controllable power delivery, the motor delivers unrivalled performance and rideability across the RPM range.

CYLINDER

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

CRANKCASE

Manufactured using a high pressure die-cast production process, the crankcases are designed with thinner wall thickness to save weight, while retaining strength and durability. This design also aids in a more compact arrangement, positioning the shaft arrangements closer to the centre of gravity for improved handling.

CLUTCH

The TC 85 features an upgraded diaphragm spring clutch for improved durability while remaining lightweight and compact. The clutch is actuated using a FORMULA hydraulic system, meaning that play is always compensated and the clutch point remains the same under different conditions, as well as over time.

04. COMPONENTS

BODYWORK

Inspired by the Swedish heritage of the Husqvarna brand, the striking white, grey, and yellow graphics are applied using in-mould technology for increased durability and a quality finish.

ODI LOCK-ON GRIPS

The TC 85 is fitted with high quality ODI lock on grips as standard. The system includes a vulcanised grip on the throttle grip while the lock-on grip on the left does not require any glue or wire to secure it to the handlebar.

WHEELS

Black EXCEL rims and CNC-machined hubs are fitted with MAXXIS MAXXCROSS MX-ST tyres that deliver outstanding performance on a wide variety of terrain.

BODYWORK

The TC 85 features bodywork scaled to precisely fit the proportions of an 85 rider. The contact points and feeling deliver exceptional ergonomics, instilling confidence while also leaving room for free and unrestricted movement.

BRAKES

New brake callipers from Formula, a 220mm wave disc up front and 210mm wave disc at the rear provide improved brake feel and consistent brake pad wear to ensure confident braking in any riding condition. Additionally, a new clutch and brake assembly reduces wear and ensures maximum reliability and durability.
