Model Description


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.
 
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 Fork
Much like the forks on the larger MX range, the WP XACT 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.
 
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. 
 
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 a diaphragm spring clutch. The design is lightweight, compact and benefits from added durability. The clutch is actuated using a FORMULA hydraulic system, meaning that play is always compensated for and the clutch point remains the same under different conditions as well as over time.
 
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
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.
 
Brakes
Brake calipers 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, the clutch and brake assembly reduces wear and ensures maximum reliability and durability.
