2025 TC 85s Get Sharper Handling, More Power, and Better Rider Fit
Husqvarna Motorcycles is proud to announce the next generation of its championship-winning TC 85 motocross machines for the 2025 season. Building on the success of the previous model, the new TC 85 lineup features two options – the TC 85 17/14 2025 and the TC 85 19/16 2025. Both models boast a completely redesigned chassis, improved engine performance, and a host of technical upgrades designed to elevate the riding experience for young motocross athletes.
The centerpiece of the new TC 85s is their all-new chassis, featuring revised geometry for significantly improved handling and stability. Inspired by Husqvarna's full-size motocross bikes, the chassis incorporates a new WP XACT shock mounted on the upper frame tube for a more planted feel on rough tracks and big jumps. Additionally, a half-degree reduction in steering head angle and a repositioning closer to the chassis center enhance cornering precision, particularly when exiting turns.
The 85cc two-stroke engine receives a performance boost for 2025, focusing on increased low-to-mid-range power without sacrificing top-end performance. This is achieved through a combination of a new cylinder head, spark plug, ignition system, and exhaust. The Keihin carburetor is also meticulously tuned to complement the engine's improved power characteristics. To further enhance handling and jumping capabilities, the engine is tilted upwards three degrees at the front, resulting in a more effective weight distribution.
A completely new swingarm, constructed using a refined casting process, sheds 300 grams compared to the previous model. This weight reduction, coupled with the new frame and WP XACT shock, contributes to a lower overall seat height. This, along with the redesigned ergonomic bodywork, allows young riders to maneuver the bike with greater ease, boosting confidence and enabling them to push their limits with improved control. A modernized rider triangle formed by new handlebars, footrests, and a lower seat further enhances comfort and control.
