Husqvarna introduces a new era in motocross
The new Husqvarna 2016 motocross line-up represents a revolutionary step forward. Beginning a new era, every detail of this new-from-the-ground-up motocross range has been specifically designed to improve performance.
Featuring massive weight savings, totally new bodywork, new engine design and new carbon fibre subframes, the 2016 motocross bikes embrace Husqvarna’s rich racing heritage to ensure premium motorcycles with state-of-the-art technology.
Presenting the all-new FC 450, FC 350 and FC 250 four-stroke models, plus the all-new TC 125 machine, Husqvarna Motorcycles offers a range of bikes that effortlessly supports riders of all ages and abilities, in all situations. Husqvarna’s six-strong MY16 model range ensures racers and riders alike have the perfect machinery to achieve their goals.
Like nothing before it
Rethinking torsional rigidity and longitudinal stiffness, the chromium molybdenum steel frame is lighter and more compact to offer better handling and feeling than its predecessor and it ensures a motorcycle with unrivalled rideability and ease of use.
The future is here
In the engine department the FC 450, FC 350 and FC 250 enjoy a significant reduction in engine weight. Smaller and lighter 4-stroke motors are completely reconfigured for optimal mass-centralisation. New for MY16 is launch control, integrated into the standard handlebar map switch.
Importantly, the exhaust system has been completely redesigned to improve mass centralisation and reduce sound levels in keeping with FIM limits.
The revised ergonomics and new seat provide greater comfort and superior control in all riding situations. Finally, new GSK brake discs, Pro Taper handlebars, ODI lock-on grips, new WP radiators, new 7-litre polythene fuel tanks, a new airbox design with tool-less air filter access, as well as black DID alloy rims, CNC machined hubs and Dunlop MX52 tyres further ensure that the all-new MY16 motocross line-up is one of the most sophisticated on the market.
The two-stroke range also sees improvements – in particular the TC 125. Redesigned and repackaged with a new power valve and exhaust it has an increased power output from 38hp to 40hp. For the youngest racers in the Husqvarna family, the agile and powerful TC 85 is the ideal entry machine into motocross.
