Bridging the gap between the junior ranks and the full size models on offer from Husqvarna Motorcycles, the TC 85 is pivotal in the minicycle line-up. Featuring advanced hardware and utilising the latest in engine and chassis technology, the TC 85 is a highly capable machine in the hands of any youth racer.

Crafted to provide precise feedback to young riders, the chromium molybdenum steel frame is made using advanced robot welding and hydroformed tubes. |
|
Much like the forks on the larger MX range, the WP XACT forks consist of a 43 mm split fork design using a capsulated air spring in the left leg and the trusted oil damping system in the right leg. These components offer remarkable suspension performance with 280 mm wheel travel. |
|
The WP XACT PDS shock absorber is fitted to the TC 85. PDS, "progressive damping system," allows the rear end to stay stable over smaller bumps or rough terrain while also soaking up bigger hits with ease. |
|
Made from lightweight aluminum, the subframe features a short and compact profile. The profile not only contributes to the overall low weight but also improves mass centralization. |
Airbox
The Twin Air filter can be easily accessed without tools, by simply removing the left side panel for quick maintenance. The airbox design allows optimum airflow and maximum filter protection. |
Cooling
The TC 85 features radiators designed with computational fluid dynamics to ensure the ideal passage of air through the cooling fins for optimum engine temperature and the highest performance. |
Swingarm
The swingarm is manufactured from a single piece of aluminum using a gravity die-cast production process. This gives the swingarm exceptional strength while keeping the weight to a minimum. Chain adjustment markings are also visible from above to make for quicker, simpler adjustment.
|
Exhaust
The exhaust system on the TC 85 is perfectly suited to the power characteristics of the engine and contributes to the outstanding performance and rideability all round. Additionally, the short and lightweight silencer improves mass centralization while keeping noise levels to a minimum. |
Engine
Using the latest 2-stroke technology, the TC 85 motor delivers unrivalled performance in the competitive 85cc class. With a lively but controllable power delivery, the motor delivers unrivalled performance and rideability across the RPM range. |
Cylinder
The cylinder is designed around an innovative power valve system, the system controls both the exhaust valve and the sub-exhaust port for impressive power, torque and controllability. As a result, the TC 85 delivers significant mid-range performance, reducing the need to use the clutch in loamy or sandy conditions. |
Crankcase
Manufactured using a high pressure die-cast production process, the crankcases are designed with thinner wall thickness to save weight, while retaining strength and durability. This design also aids in a more compact arrangement, positioning the shaft arrangements closer to the center of gravity for improved handling. |
Clutch
The TC 85 features an upgraded diaphragm spring clutch for improved durability while remaining lightweight and compact. The clutch is actuated using a FORMULA hydraulic system, meaning that play is always compensated and the clutch point remains the same under different conditions, as well as over time. |
