2020 Husqvarna Cross-Country Models
2020 Husqvarna FX 450
The FX 450 features a powerful engine that’s lightweight and compact. The camshaft is as close to the center of gravity as possible, which further improves the agility and handling. It features a five-speed gearbox that’s designed by PANKL Racing Systems. This lightweight gearbox delivers high levels of reliability and durability. Furthermore, the FX 450 comes complete with a DDS clutch. Not bad.
2020 Husqvarna FX 350
The FX 350 features a 350 cc DOHC engine that weighs less than 60 pounds while pumping out impressive power. It is engineered with a 14.2:1 compression ratio plus a large diameter forged piston that delivers high revs and a wide power band. It’s also paired to a PANKL six-speed gearbox that’s coated with a low-friction covering for smooth shifting.
2020 Husqvarna TX 300i
The TX 300i is equipped with a 2-stroke engine that provides a lightweight design with unprecedented power.
On the TX 300i, electronic fuel injection was specifically added for the 2020 model year. The 2020 model also features a counterbalancer shaft that’s laterally mounted. This reduces vibrations and provides a more comfortable ride.
The EMS (engine management system) comes with a control unit that’s located under the seat. Riders don’t need to fiddle with jetting now that this bike has temperature and altitude compensation. This bike also comes complete with a six-speed gearbox that guarantees easy and precise shifting. There is also a no-dirt shift lever that’s supposed to prevent the build-up of debris, no matter where you ride.
This bike can handle the spotlight of some of the toughest circuits in racing. Like the rest of these bikes, this model comes with WP XACT shock and fork. Both of these are the same from last year, with some ongoing refinements made as Husqvarna improves their dirt bikes for 2020.
2020 Husqvarna Motocross Models
2020 Husqvarna FC 450
The FC 450 features a SOHC cylinder head that’s lightweight and compact. The short profile allows the camshaft to remain as close to the center of gravity as it can.
This only improves the agility and handling of the bike. Furthermore, the aluminum cylinder is engineered with a compression ratio of 12.75:1 for peak output. The engine pairs with a lightweight PANKL Racing System five-speed gearbox. It also comes with the gear lever that won’t pick up dirt, even when riding in rough conditions.
2020 Husqvarna FC 350
The FC 350 features a DOHC engine that weighs less than 60 pounds while still offering significant power. This engine was created to supply maximum performance which is why all the shaft arrangements were made to allow the oscillating masses to achieve an ideal center of gravity.
The heart of this output is the high-quality crankshaft. It has two force-fitted bearing shells that guarantee maximum durability and reliability. The compact PANKL Racing Systems five-speed gearbox has a low-friction coating on the fork to make shifting precise and smooth. It also comes with the no-dirt gear lever to complete the package.
2020 Husqvarna FC 250
An FC 250 provides superior handling and class-leading power. All of the shaft arrangements and engine components were positioned to the center of gravity. This reduces the effect of rotational inertia. The lightweight 250 cc 4-stroke engine is also only 57.5 pounds, keeping the weight as low as possible.
This bike also comes complete with a PANKL Racing Systems five-speed gearbox that features motocross gear ratios.
2020 Husqvarna TC 250
The TC 250 2-stroke engine offers an ideal combination of lightweight design and unrivaled power. It features a low maintenance cost, making it a favorite among motocross riders. The engine is produced with mass centralization as a priority. It houses shaft arrangements in ideal positions plus the die-cast casings centralize mass and improve rideability on this Husqvarna dirt bike.
This bike features a Mikuni TMX carburetor that has an advanced setting for controllable and smoother power delivery. The TC 250 also comes with a five-speed gearbox installed and the no-dirt shift lever.
2020 Husqvarna TC 125
The TC 125 provides a lively performance with its light engine weight of only 37.9 pounds. This motor offers more torque than other 125 cc 2-stroke bikes. That’s why many riders will find this an ideal option when just starting out.
Even the 125’s crankshaft was designed to be as light as it could be with perfect balance. This further reduces vibration while riding and improves handling. Finally, you will find an MX-specific PANKL Racing Systems six-speed gearbox on this Husqvarna dirt bike.
2020 Husqvarna Mini Motocross Racer Models
Husqvarna offers a mini motocross range that gives younger riders access to high-tech equipment. They are modeled from the FC and TC racers with 2-stroke powerhouses.
2020 Husqvarna TC 85
There’s no match for the TC 85 in its class. It features a lot of the same tech found in the full-size lineup. You will find a Chromium Molybdenum steel frame and WP Suspension so younger riders can have confidence on the track. It also comes with a strong and lightweight tapered aluminum handlebar that contains an advanced throttle assembly to make free play adjustment easier than ever.
The CNC-machined hubs and aluminum rims are equipped with MAXXIS tires for rideability on many terrains. Finally, there is a self-cleaning gear selector that prevents build-up similar to the lever on the larger models to keep your kids playing for hours at a time.
2020 Husqvarna TC 65
The TC 65 also features new 2-stroke technology to make it competitive. The engine features durable and light materials plus a pressure-controlled exhaust valve for high levels of performance.
