2019 Husqvarna motocross range
Five two- and four-stroke machines, from the nimble TC 125 to the potent FC 450Husqvarna has lifted the covers off its five-model 2019 motocross line-up – and it’s spruiking hard with what it says offers “professional and amateur motocross riders the highest level of technology available on the market today”.
The machines – the TC 125 and TC 250 two-strokes and FC 250, FC 350 and FC 450 four-strokes – all have a stiffer frame finished in blue power coating, and the suspension settings have been revised as well. The Husqvarnas have WP AER forks and a DCC shock.
The flagship FC 450 has a redesigned and more compact SOHC cylinder head that reduces the engine’s total weight by 500 grams. To further enhance performance while keeping weight to a minimum, the exhaust systems on all the models have additionally received major changes for 2019.
Other changes include:
- Redesigned bodywork;
- New two-piece subframe design (250 grams lighter);
- New mufflers on two-strokes, redesigned header pipe on TC 250;
- Chain adjustment length increased by 5mm;
- Triple clamp protector integrated into front number plate;
- Traction and launch control with updated settings (four-strokes);
- New throttle cable routing for easier maintenance;
- Flow-designed resonance chambers and more compact silencers on four-strokes;
- New Li-ion 2.0 Ah battery;
- Updated cooling system with new centre tube;
- External fuel line moved inward for extra protection;
- ProTaper handlebar with new bend; and
- D.I.D. wheels with new spoke nipples.
Husqvarna Australia says availability will be around August/September 2018, with price still to be announced.
