Husqvarna launches their 2017 motocross models
By Team TMX on 11th May 16
Husqvarna Motorcycles have introduced their 2017 two-stroke and four-stroke motocross models.
Featuring all-new WP Performance Systems AER 48 front forks, traction control, a new from the ground up TC 250 two-stroke as well as further advances in engine management, Husqvarna Motorcycles offer machinery that supports riders in all situations.
Considerable energy has gone into the development of the all-new Husqvarna TC 250, which together with the smaller capacity TC 85 and TC 125 machines make up the complete line-up of two-stroke models.
With a significant reduction in overall weight together with improved agility the TC250 features a completely redesigned, lightweight engine that offers increased efficiency, optimised centralisation of masses as well as substantial vibration reduction. The TC 250 is now smaller, lighter and smoother.
The TC 125 features the all-new WP AER 48 forks, the new Mikuni TMX 38 mm carburettor and the Magura hydraulic clutch which ensures the 2017 TC 125 remains one step ahead of the competition. The TC 85 receives new, stylish colours and graphics.
Across the four-stroke range the refined Keihin engine management system is designed to process data faster, offering an all-new traction control for 2017. With integrated launch control for perfect starts, the EMS also features selectable engine maps via a switch on the handlebars.
Header pipes on the 4-strokes feature resonance chambers for improved power delivery, with the FC 450 having its resonance chamber integrated into the header pipe. All 4-stroke models come with electric starters as standard
The WP Performance Systems hydro-formed chromium molybdenum frame is designed to ensure superior handling and easy manoeuvrability. All four-strokes feature new, lightweight aluminium engine mounts.
The all-new WP AER 48 front forks are super lightweight, easily adjustable and offer an incredible amount of feedback to the rider no matter the conditions.
Unique to Husqvarna's models is the three-piece composite subframe made of 30 per cent carbon fibre, which as well as being incredibly strong weighs just 1.4 kg.
Attached to the frame is an innovative self-cleaning footpeg mount preventing dirt from building up in muddy conditions or when riding in deep ruts. As a result the footpegs always springs back to their original position.
The new Husqvarna MY17 motocross range will be available worldwide from June 2016 at all authorised Husqvarna Motorcycles Dealers.
