2018 Huskys unleashed
By TMX Archives on 24th May 17
Husqvarna has unveiled its MY 2018 range of two-stroke and four-stroke models.
The Austrian marque says its newly unveiled 2018 model line-up reaches new heights in handling and performance with "sophisticated” new TC and FC models.
The range will be available from authorised dealers worldwide from next month.
The line-up of eight two-stroke and four-stroke models combines cutting-edge technology with high-end componentry to offer riders of all ages one of the most efficient and enjoyable motocross ranges on the market.
Looking to maintain its position as one of motocross' leading players, Husqvarna offers an all-new TC 85 together with seven TC and FC models that receive major updates.
With the new from the ground up TC 85 setting new standards in its class, Husqvarna's full-size TC and FC machines feature a series of upgrades including new brakes, a new battery, new graphics and a high-grip seat cover.
With an all-new frame and state of the art WP suspension, young riders can focus on their performance with total confidence.
Featuring a new engine that delivers a broader and more controllable power delivery, the new TC 85 offers top-level performance and durability.
The updated engine is housed inside a Cro-Mo steel frame that features all-new geometry for better handling and comfort. Mirroring technology found in Husqvarna's full-size MX range, the TC 85 features all-new WP AER 43 split air and oil forks, together with a specific version of the new WP XPlor PDS shock.
The new components offer a significant benefit in suspension performance with adjustment in the forks made simpler thanks to the single air pressure valve for preload and easy access clickers for compression and rebound.
Husqvarna has also made numerous upgrades to its other models as well. From the TC 50 and TC 65 to the full-size TC 125, TC 250, FC 250, FC 350 and FC 450, all new models set an even higher benchmark in terms of design and performance.
For model year 2018 Husqvarna engineers focused their attentions on introducing further engine and chassis advances in all full-sized TC and FC models.
A major upgrade is the Magura front and rear braking systems. Utilising a similar layout to the previous design, the new brakes offer the best in terms of sensitivity and feeling.
All FC four-stroke machines feature new compact Li-Ion 2.2 Ah battery with improved output consistency.
Based on a simple yet distinctive design, new graphics across the 2018 motocross range highlight Husqvarna's Swedish heritage.
